The USA military fills a space that would be filled by another power if there was no USA military. I personally don't want that to be China. Not because I think they'd do a bunch of crazy things but because I think they'd sl

I actually had a similar(ish) situation to yours. I read a book called "boundaries" and that's made my relationships with my family much better. This all came about when I was getting married. This was about 10 years ago now

Even rocket scientist have fairly bad foresight, see space debris as an example. The reason these plants are reasonably cheap is that there are rows and rows of uniformly hooked up and distributed easy to access solar panels. What you'

Devastating natural disaster. Fukishima handled the earthquake fine it was when (i believe) their generators were washed away that the problem started. I would never advocate for a nuclear power plant on the side of an active volcano. at

The problem is that you can never remove them, we just have to replace them. Unless we reduce our use of electricity or come up with a new source, those panels will always be there. It will also take time for the wild life to grow back and

I couldn't disagree more. We have proven that we aren't capable of handling the responsibility that comes with handling coal/gas. And unless you live in a shack in the woods you're a contributor. Nuclear is the only ene

It's a good endgame for an engineer. If you've got experience with X language and you're planning your exit from the industry. Better yet, be the guy who can upgrade a system like that from X language to the newer one that c

Off topic so I apologize, but I saw your name, did a double take and had to say, "It's awesome".

You are correct, I should have been much more clear on that statement. I've heard very good arguments against gun control that are not hypocritical. My statement was my attempt (a failing one) to ask my question with the least amount

I want to clarify something, I'm not attacking you or your comment. I'm really asking for clarity. I appreciate what you've stated. It's funny, we assume everyone uses the same definition of a phrase or slogan as we do

These are some factiods I've been accumulating on Nuclear, which I'm still trying to refine and learn more about, so any corrections on this would be appreciated if I'm factually wrong: 1) Thorium is safer but isn't bein

I do not understand the attack on "thoughts and prayers." There are plenty of people sending "thoughts and prayers" who also support gun control. I get that it calls out the hypocrisy of Christians who don't suppo

I don't know how many PJ Masks toys and shirts I've bought based on that show. The thing that got me as a kid was seeing all the cool food everyone else got that my parents wouldn't give me. I just wanted hot pockets in my h

This is ALL over so many shows on cable TV. It hit me one day when watching bones. Two characters had a conversation about the features of their "awesome" car. I also recently saw this on "A million little things" ther

I love it. That's a practical way to force a more egalitarian system (Single payer or not) while not removing insurance companies in the mean time. Thanks for sharing.

I don't fully understand. Are you saying that in Switzerland it is illegal to have a group plan? This is something I felt would actually help the US move off of Employer based insurance for a while now. If every person is charged the

Looks like the union negotiated a 30% raise for pilots so, that's a few Xboxes for the pilots. I don't think this ad will be effective. But I see your other points and they're all good. I don't know if the law of uninte

If your union can be dismantled by an obviously sad attempt to discredit it like this poster then you have no business being unionized. All they need is one poster saying, "We got you a $1 per hour raise, that's about $2,100 a yea

Very good point, I'm not saying I want to dismantle all unions and create them again. But I would like more competition with unions, currently there isn't much of that. Well I might have said that in my comment but it wasn't

I think that's a problem with the law not with the process. Some unions are awesome and have done great things, others have really slowed down innovation and made working harder for the people they represent. >Companies like Amazon

I'm pretty pro union myself. However, I think it makes sense for people to NEED the union. If they don't need it they shouldn't join it. Defaulting into something is how you get stagnation. You should think about whether

When I was in Prague my buddies and I decided to skip out on the fare. I was very young, dumb, and wanted to look cool. On the train the police walk around checking tickets rather than having a ticketing booth etc. We obviously got caught.

Why not fine them instead? Before you say, not everyone can afford XYZ fine. I would fully support a income based proportional fine system in the US. What i Don't support is putting someone in jail because they can't afford a law
