Guilty. ALL counts.

Do you think you're an outlier in this case? I dated someone with an NPD parent, and that left some marks. It seems like the typical advice to a spouse of an NPD person is "Your kids are better off without that parent around." He did say this was true in most cases. Further, NPD is presen...

It also seems to want to repeatedly grope my web browser's testicles for 5 seconds every time I show up.

When you log in, make sure to check the box that says "stay logged in."

Hey, Spells. Some asshole has highjacked your account and is posting stupid shit. 72 hour psych holds are already a thing. As long as it's temporary, it's hard to argue someone's gun has more rights than the actual person. So concluded. Not my body, not my choice. Duly noted. You may want to go back...

Confiscating firearms from a potentially suicidal person is a good idea. Not my body, my choice? How do you determine "potentially suicidal"? Somebody else's opinion? Mental healthcare professionals who have no better predictive abilities than the average person the street? An estranged s...

To sum up my points - The starting post/quote is Governor Abbot blaming Biden. Governor Abbot is full of shit. He doesn't care. He wants to distract. This has no more to do with Biden than it did Trump or Bush or anyone. This is how the border works and it is by design. No one on the government lev...

Feeling good for the NASA dudes. Tough job those guys have. One shot. They have to get it right without do overs. Very limited opportunity to fix problems. Zero if they crash. And man they were crashing into stuff like they were getting paid for it for a while there.

I can certainly see why she has many willing to get behind her. Only recommendation I can give is the only one I read. "The Spanish Civil War" by Stanley G. Payne. Decent enough. Part of a collection titled Cambridge Essential Histories. Pretty good series overall if you want, um, essentia...

Yes. The teeny bopper neo-nazi. How did I not see it right away.

Why? How is this interesting?

I do have the background, could probably manage to find some time to go deeper, but I don't have the motivation because my sense that it's a misunderstanding of basic principles runs deep. Could be wrong, don't think I am.

Heh.

You ain't kidding about that $400k expenditure, but the interest shown by Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division is interesting and suggests there might be more that we aren't seeing. Remember that all of this was via a FOIA request(s) and a lot of things national security-related are not subje...

A few hundred $k isn't much for a defense project. For this, at any amount, it's a waste. And it's a joke.

To put my post above in perspective to the original question, the context is not primarily social; in both cases there is an interdependence of the people involved to achieve a favorable outcome. While this does not obviate political motives, likability influences, ulterior motives, etc. it does mit...

At the end of each of the two RASP phases and each of the three phases of Ranger School, peer reviews are used as an evaluation tool to augment graded exercises and instructor assessments. The process is a bit different than what's being asked here. The students are seated in columns in a classroom ...

One other thing I've always wondered is why there's never been a big push to pursue Thorium fission reactors. The liquid salt reactors that use Thorium as the fissile material are apparently a c hair away from being melt down proof. If they overheat, the liquid salt expands to the point that the fi...

Good write up.

Cheap solar isn't all that cheap nor particularly impactful and will never have the impact of a fieldable fusion system. Not even close.
