Is there any reason why this needs to be a taxpayer subsidized organization?

I realize it’s not quite the same thing, but there are already corporations who pay private meteorologists for their services.

World or not be better to allow corporate America to pay for these types of services and free up those dollars for other things?

Fully agreed very heavy.

Love love love these books.

Fucking abhorrent behavior from the State.

6’6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5’1" tall.

When I was growing up my mom would always say “the tall girls are going to love you!” Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.

Yes, but what gorgeous country to get fucked in! When my wife PCSd from Long Island to Fort Knox, we drove through that country several times.

She would also spend a lot of time at Fort Lee (now Gregg-Adams) and the drive from Fort Knox to Fort Lee also crossed amazing parts of WV.

My father was an itinerant minister. He traveled all over the country. We made great use of TripTik (I think that’s what it was called).

My absolute favorite AC game. My wife just got me Sideshow’s Edward Animus statue for my birthday. It’s stunning.

I’m a sixty year old nerd. No one hires those.

However, thank you very much for the kindness of your post.

Today was one of those days for me.

She was on a team in Kentucky 6th through 8th grades. She’s starting her Freshman year in Iowa.

Her response is sadly always the same. “Dad! I’d get in trouble!”

My daughter is an archer. I have asked her this question many times.

Your worth, your value is not determined by what someone else makes.

Also, I’m a bit ignorant of this subject so forgive me if I get it wrong, but did he not go to school significantly longer for his MD than you did for yours?

I believe he also had to go through the hell that is residency, I didn’t believe nurses do.

If you’re envious of his salary, improve your skills, or your education. If you’re happy where you are at In life, then don’t let the fact that others make more than you interfere with that happiness.

No matter what you do, there will always be others who make more, one of those sad facts of life.

If someone tells you something, that something does not get repeated without asking for permission first. People don’t have to say “can I tell you this in confidence?” Absolutely everything is kept in confidence.

Loved it. TMI. It came out when my first wife and I had split after 20 years of marriage. I was living in a dive apartment. Alone for the first time in my life.

Playing BioShock.

I’m unsure why you would draw that conclusion. I don’t know enough about Elon Musk to be either a fan of the man or a detractor of the man, but it is quite possible that he and I have views that intersect from time-to-time. Just as I’m guessing you and I may have views that intersect from time-to-time.

I’m also old enough to remember the Stasi and the KGB. So if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I’m gonna call it a duck, and your project, if it really exists and wasn’t you just blowing smoke, is exactly the kind of project those two organizations would have signed on for. Neither one of them wanted the citizens behind their Iron Curtain learning about things that were not State approved. So they actively suppressed those things and those who shared them, (cf. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, of whom you may have heard. If not, I encourage you to look him up).

The best thing you could possibly do is have children report on their parents for evading the ban. Or I suppose have neighbors report on each other.

It was really effective for the Stasi and the KGB.

Very very aware.

So you had another mail server elsewhere that port forwarded port 25 via port 22 to your internal mail server’s port 25.

I take it that outside mail server was secure.

That’s an impressive setup.

Thanks for reading and engaging in good faith.

The lack of land is a huge problem. It is possible that when underwater habitats or space habitats become a thing there will be room for such an experiment.
