   This sounds a lot like Fat Man and Little Boy movie. The John Cusack character was killed by radioactive exposure from a mishap at Los Alamos. The movie is really interesting. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097336&#x2F

   While it's a tough process I believe it helps prepare us in life for the big tragedies of having to let go of close loved ones. Whether they are 2 legged or 4 legged. It's better to love and lost then to never have loved at all.

   My partner and I went the traditional route. We married then we (okay, she) rescued a dog from the local shelter. Coincidentally also in Texas. We later had our own kids but Sadie was our first one for us to bring into the family. We lo

   This is one of those correlation != causation articles. Probably something symptomatic as you describe.

   I wonder if this has anything to do with the decrease of blue collar skilled labor. Many skilled trade labor has decreased especially in VA. https://www.dailypress.com/business/newport-news-shipyard/dp... https:

   Yes. Seems to be a mostly variable cost business. That means you need to lower your per unit cost. This might be their plan.

    Steam has scratched my itch. I too used to game a lot but growing a family takes time and resources. Steam allows me to play on my time and play with my kids. There is a lot to offer from the Indie community.

    I'm an R advocate. I call R the "Excel Buster". I think reproducible research is very important and tools should follow. Excel has its place in fast mathematics prototyping but for reproducible research it is quite lacking

    is there a google sheet equivalent?

    I'm guessing it's due to factory retooling. I imagine the frame, chassis and obviously powerplant of a EV is much different than the ICE equivalents.

    Actually Von Braun was probably mostly in Marshall FC but during the early engine testing they said he was in Stennis a lot.

    Testing at Stennis started in the 60's. I know they tested at Hunstville but I thought Huntsville is where they did the Saturn V assembly. https://www.nasa.gov/centers/stennis/pdf/428016main_FS-2010-...

    I've been on the tour and I didn't think it was boring. I learned a lot of past and present space exploration. I think there are 2 or 3 different tours you can choose so return trips are recommended. I agree the Saturn V is a th

    Innumeracy isn't about the poor. I know a lot of people who play the lottery especially when the prize is big. My concern with the poor and the lottery is exploitative. It believe it is akin to a gambling addiction and a false hope.

    I personally like the saying "the lottery is a tax on the innumerate"

    I might be in the minority but I think there should be a 0% corporate tax rate. For the amount of revenue received by corporations doesn't match how much affect they can have on the tax code. They lobby quite a bit to affect their ta

    The trick is teaching your kids about that culture and how to look out for it. Fortnite makes it hard. When I was growing up it was trading cards, sneakers, or latest video games. My parents taught me tough turkey on occasion. In-app st

    I agree. For this "tribal" reason of picking a party I've been more inclined to have term limits on Congress.
