I dunno, I mean, I've only been an adult for a few recessions so far, but as I understand it, sudden increases in the money supply devalue the relative spending power of each dollar, something the Romans didn't figure out, but there's been 2000 years of economic studies since then.

It's been ~9 months and I'm perusing local animal shelters' websites. This town apparently loves losing pittie mixes and they're all adorable. Look at the ears!

"It was going to be such a great--the numbers are great, they're fantastic--a great press conference--some might say the best--grown men, tears in their eyes, saying, 'Mr. President, best press conference ever!' and then some--I don't even know who--just passes out, right as I was about to talk."

The Kraken lean into still acting like a minor league squad in a way that's very endearing. Like a glow in the dark alt jersey is pretty farm-team, but it's spectacular.

It's an absolute classic. If you can get her to like a Longines Dolcevita just as much you'll save a few hundred to a few thousand.

Let's compare 2024 to 2025. A county Trump won by 25 points elected two Democrats to the state-wide Public Service Commission (which, among other things, negotiates rates and prices with Georgia Power.)

There's a reason defense vendors become "the old guard," because they build a reputation for fielding shit that works and meets requirements. VC-pumped startups fielding shit actual troops hope to use for a decade-plus is maybe not the best alternative. 7/7

*incoherent screaming* Sacrificing requirements for speed (with financial incentives for doing so!) is literally how you get products that put troops in danger. This isn't fucking code! Being wrong faster has real consequences! 6/?

No! NO! God, NO! Multiple different platforms to perform the same function is every maintainer's nightmare. The idea of "we fix 1st PLT's stuff, and then we go to this whole other connex full of other parts/tools to fix 2nd PLT's stuff" defeats the whole speed of execution concept on its face. 5/?

There are some good aspects of this memo: UAS shouldn't be about making a UAS, it should be about soliciting the payload dev & delivery community about what they want from a UAS platform. No more duct-taping a payload to a UAS because the UAS guys never asked what was supposed to go on it. 3/?
