Thanks for sharing this work.

Or maybe instead of spending time with your dad on a bs menial task, you could spent time fishing with him…

Well now it sounds like you are disagreeing for it's own sake. There may be a name for what you describe, but it's not what is commonly understood as Stoicism. And in my many years…

Well, I guess I’m here because of one of these miracle drugs. My kidneys would have crapped out year ago without it. I guess call me a fan…

You might take a look at [SciTE]( https://scintilla.org/SciTE.html ), a light weight wrapper around Scintilla, with lua scripting support. It’s been my non-IDE editor for years on …

Thanks, I’ve been looking for something like this.

Who is going to be schlepping around external drives?

Even in Upper Michigan near Lake Superior we sometimes had stunn, colorful Northern Lights. Sometimes it seemed like they were flying overhead within your grasp

I’m kind of glad it does this so I know that it understood what I asked. A good presenter will do this as well when responding to questions.

This is roughly correct. In addition to the immediate ground launch crew votes (in reality a squadron is 5 launch centers, i.e. capsules, all interconnected to a total of 50 missil…

In answer to your first question, in the field that would be the primary blast door, a penetration that went through the capsule to a chamber with another larger blast door out to …

I have to believe it was pretty stressful on your end too! One of the biggest pressures of the job was dealing with all the classified and the stuff you had to deal was the same I’…

No we did not. We were heavily trained and frequently evaluated but never believing it was real in that sense. Things happen in the world for which increased level of readiness occ…

Actually the chairs were pretty comfortable. They were locked down to survive (in theory) the shaking resulting from nudets. The deputy launch commander’s was on a long track so he…

Yes, we were strapped in for quite a shaking…

I’ve oftened wondered that over the years. Maybe that’s why the young ones are usually on the front lines. Another related possibly more difficult, is how many of us would have tur…

Indeed it can be. There was a lot of action in the O club in one’s off days. We oftentimes thought however that these a-launch crews probably had it worse, except at least it would…

This is a remarkably real view of the Minuteman Launch Control Center in the early to mid-80s for sure. The accompanying audio is realistic as well except all six comm systems woul…

The launch center you see is a square box about the size of an RV suspended by four large “shock absorbers” inside a hardened capsule with walls about six feet thick. The shock abs…

Conservatism is about conserving the status quo. Our freedoms are enshrined in the Constitution.

Maybe it’s time to build new power plants, preferably nuclear, and continue efforts to learn about and expand efficient energy sources. No society has ever advanced without ample e…
