It's a trope, but in this case actually the real truth, that hearing you say that makes me feel better. Thanks for that. Double edged sword though. I "feel better" because for a moment I don't have that feeling like I've been snookered into wasting my life on pointless garbage spiced with mild fraud. Yay! It's normal! This is just the way it is - that can't be so bad! But in a certain way that's kind of worse, because it means it's everywhere. It leaves me godlessly praying harder-than-usual that the Chinese are even more corrupt and hopeless at making complex things. Then I look at my laptop, and at my phone, and at . . my everything . . ah, crap. OK, let's just "feel better" for one second before going back to the default. Hell, look at the Mk14 Torpedo, we managed through that! That's what we're doin' now. Thank you again, and may you steer clear of defense contracting[1] forever more.
