This all great advice :) I also find taking long walks with zero technology and just thinking about things -makes me feel much better -relaxed -helps recovers the joy of thinking deeply I don't think I'm depressed- but I feel like

you do realize the ohio replacement class is literally in development right now. > The ICBMs probably don't even work (no public evidence they do), they're in well known static silos, and have just a few minutes of "use or

the only jargon in this is API?

writing this was a mistake. this is clearly a deceptive pr spin fluff that is entirely non-responsive to the specific concerns raised in the new york times article.

Well currently the unmanned drones do not automatically kill anything. Each drone has `pilot' who runs that drone and I believe only that drone. that pilot is in arizona somewhere instead of in the plane. look I am pretty critical of a

I'm willing to say that outright. In my experience as a very aquatic person ie water polo/swimming/surfing most civilians have nooooo clue how to swim. They know how to not immediately drown... But that's about it. Your
