Everyone is doing their job as private entities with their own standards... except the government who are supposed to break up monopolies.

I blame elizabeth warren.

What I don’t understand is the authors antagonistic framing. The complaints about moving backward because of boomer greed aren’t any less valid just because caves exist, fire remains “discovered”, and we can clone wooly mammoths.

the complaints aren't less valid, but having a constant axe to grind that you blame for all UN-success isn't a good strategy.

Don’t bother reading this garbage.

TL;DR “We are all doomed to become gibbering monkey men because black people are bad at the SAT.”

I strongly feel that real political leadership in opposition to the current administration running roughshod over the constitution is to promote and support candidates who represent the US military.

If I don't see a democrat in the next presidential primary who is deeply involved with and representing the interests and voters in our US military then the party will have criminally abrogated their duty to the American people.

So next week RF shielding that costs a fraction of what it costs to produce this truck mounted weapon gets added to drones and we find a new optimal TWR?

Yes, but presumably at some cost to drone's performance.

This administration seems to have major issues with operational security while at the same time creating an atmosphere of heightened international tension.

How can these two traits be adequately resolved/addressed regardless of partisan issues?

He didn’t make things worse and he, in his heart and in his words, kept the spirit of Jesus’ teachings and not the dogma of power and patriarchy.

May the next pope feel emboldened to further this as the church itself becomes less of a lumbering monster.

A librarian and a censor walk into a bar. The librarian orders 3 drinks and a glass of water.

The censor orders seafood, a live show with pyrotechnics, and the dishwasher's birth certificate.

Took me a second, but it's a great analogy for the difference in power.

I would call the difference: A librarian has perspective, intent, and a fierce optimism honed like the edge of a knife through abrasive contact with the world.

A censor sees only wrong thought and choices without any of the qualities of a librarian.

(The Seafood in a bar that mostly serves alcohol is probably not up to code in terms of food safety, the bar might occasionally have live shows and some of the things done at the live show might not be 100% safe, the dishwasher might have taken the job because he is not a legal citizen and the bar owner pays him outside of normal employment contracts...)

But if you see another allegory then it’s a good joke.

And here I thought the point was that a librarian has the means to ask for and get 3 drinks and water, same as anyone else, but a censor (i.e. the state apparatus) has the means to make huge and unreasonable demands.

A significant part of the imagery of the joke on another level is that a librarian is there to use the bar for its intended purpose, and even within that small amount of power, the librarian knows her limits.
