From what I can tell looking at SpinLaunch's website and web search, they were founded in 2014, "launched" a couple projectiles in atmosphere, had a leadership change in 2022, and have been pretty quiet since then. Unless I&#

> lockstep forward Those words are the problem. Why even have a democratic system if everything is done in “lockstep”? Moreover, “forward” is a highly opinionated term. Perhaps we can all, in lockstep, take a Great Leap Forward. https

Increasing the quantity and quality of good influences on your children is just good parenting. If I know there's a kid down the street who seems like he will grow up to be a criminal, and another kid who seems like he'll grow up

Yawn. Focus on being a great dev and not what your skin color is. I couldn’t care less where your ancestors were from or whether you have a penis or a vagina. If the code is good, let’s merge it. If it sucks, delete it.

Austin is very left of center. If they end up there, they will have ideologically strayed in California while geographically moving to Texas.
