Sadly for my hacking-nerd-cred I do not. I'm a more visual get-it-done kinda artist. And for that I even eschew sims if I can do it all in SOPs. If I had to I'd likely do whatever I could to use Emacs (spacemacs) for my daily driv

I think it goes beyond political party. It sounds like a basic human level misunderstanding and lack of foresight. Also the understandable choice during the heyday to pick the one kind of nuclear power that created weapons as a by product.
