Well I have often times see an architect creating a wild fantasy like structure and statistician with project manager saying, nope it is going to be another box due to actual physics and budget constraints.

You are pretty cathartic, the reality is that EM catapults are the future. US Navy knows that, Chinese Navy knows that. The elements for EM catapults are not reliable enough yet, bot so weren't LCD screens in their beginning especially

Counterpoint is that Chinese are integrating EM catapults into their carriers without bothering with steam.

Prigozin tried to go against Putin with actual army. And he was naive enough to think that he can shot at the king, miss and live. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_Group_rebellion

It kind of works. Imagine that Iran would be able to blow Amazon warehouses in the USA using drones after 4 years of fighting. Sure there would be few fanatics on Fox News wanting to nuke Iran, but most of people would be asking what is the

Absolutely realistic. I have disabled warning on my phone because government was sending me warnings about fires - 50km+ from me or amber alert about missing kid - 70km from me. At that point it is just a spam service.

Ok, let's be realistic. This is a nothingburger because no US law enforcement officer will get close enough to a suspect to touch them to electrocute them. If you have to electrocute suspect, he is dangerous and you want to keep your d

Absolutely. I can barely sleep when I feel pressure of what I am have to do next day, especially if it is something stressful. When somebody would be measuring performance of my sleep the idea of sleep would be stressing me out.

Well, frozen deserts like Northern Canada, Alaska or Siberia are not getting all hyped up and people often times are trying to get out from there even that it is almost not possible - see i.e. Norilsk Mars with its -80 degC is much harsher

I am in this bucket too. MSSQL + VS + tested Server + tested Client on 16GB + Win11 will just choke MSSQL server into constant timeouts. But if I will offload MSSQL onto another computer everything works just fine.

I am actually confused why creating an email john.doe@apple.com and separated employees work only iCloud on the email is such a problem and they want people to use personal iCloud? Not even corporate stuck in 90s does that.
