I’ve clicked a few. Mostly by accident, the rest by deception.

Add I understand it, the real meaning of that line is not exactly what it sounds like. It meant something like “in this anonymous place, only your thoughts matter, not your identity.” If an idea was good, it was good, and it didn’t matter who had the idea. Very egalitarian.
Of course, we have since realized that isn’t really true. Sometimes it’s important to know if a thought is coming from a woman, who has had different experience from a man.

Maxim 29.


They just use more power.


I was an enlisted aircraft maintainer for a term of service, and I don’t recall ever being in need of aa box cutter.
My opinion stands, however. They want knives, let them have knives.


“Corruption” that entertains junior enlisted should be viewed with a much less harsh eye than, for example, corruption that enriches senior officers, or contractors, or elected officials.
It’s not a good thing, but it’s not exactly what I’d call “important.” Plus, I’d be willing to bet it’s an artefact of the stupid budgeting system we use.
That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.


I think Microsoft may be overdrawn on that particular credit line.
Right, but it takes longer than the usual delay to speak the words “the aliens want to talk. Ok, put them on.”
