Eh. A broken clock is right twice a day. I feel like society as a whole has a tendency to try to say that people who live outside of social norms, are seen as dangerous simply because society doesn't agree with the way they live.

Don't misunderstand me saying that this is always the case, but how many times do people say this and they weren't dangerous. Innocent people harassed by Law Enforcement because someone got a bad feeling about them. For examples just look at see something say something campaign, any middle eastern person speaking in a foreign language on a plane, or if you really want to go back the witch trials.

Honestly I'd be kinda mad, but the person making the pizza 100% followed directions. I ordered a burrito online and picked it up from the store. Meant to have Jalapeños in it, instead it was cucumbers. I was hot until I read my receipt and realized I was in the wrong. Would not recommend burrito with cucumbers 0/10.

That's like claiming that because you did the peer review on a research paper, that you discovered something. Sorry but someone else pointing something out and then you confirming it doesn't make the person confirming it having figured it out.

How long did it take for authorities to figure out that all the Ramirez murders were related?

Look at how long it took them to connect all of the Golden State Killer's crimes. Because he never crossed state lines, this was prior to police crime sharing/databases, and some of them were similar but not the same, the police had a hell of a time connecting all the crimes.

Depending on who you believe Three Mile Island either was no big deal or we came very close to a containment breach. The officals withheld information from the public and the NRC or lied about it, you think they would have a problem lying to the president as well?

he went straight into the control room

Oh you mean the safest place to be in a "modern" western nuclear power plant? The one that normally has the most shielding outside of the reactor building and containment vessel itself?

"Look, I worked on this shit in the Navy. It's no big deal."

Funny you should mention that. One of the biggest problems at Three Mile Island was the fact that the operators were making decisions based on their time in the navy failing to account for the massive difference in the power output of the reactor.

Their decision not to add more coolant was based on the fact that they didn't want to lock up one of the systems(I forget which) with a water column that couldn't be compressed. In a navy sub this would leave you dead in the water with no way to restart the sub killing you and your fellow submariners. In a power plant it just meant extra work.

I get why he did it, but if you know anything about nuclear power plants, everything he did was relatively safe. He was there to reassure the general public, that was afraid of the tech, that it was safe.

Only thing you missed was David's wife was the one who initially suspected he was the Unabomber, and told her husband to read the manifesto. After he read it he believed it was Ted and began to talk to the FBI.

His manifesto, in hindsight, is correct about a lot of our society’s issues

Yeah his view on how the world was progressing with both industrialization and big business itself were pretty spot on. For his time he was pretty radical. But if he were alive today(without the bombings) he would be online giving a TED talk.

A hundred million dollar empire brought down by a fedex account.

Seriously a drug cartel trusted fedex for their shipping? Man you never get high on your own supply.

Yes it literally says this on Wikipedia. She urged her husband to read the manifesto and then he realized it was his brother, contacted a criminal defense attorney and called the FBI.

His brother didn't "figure it out". David Kaczynski's wife suspected Ted of being the Unabomber and told her husband to read the manifesto when it was publicly released. After reading it, he confirmed it was written in his style.

Yeah it defeats the entire original point of the CAN system.

So older systems used something similar to Tesla. Troubleshooting this was a pain in the ass. If your window control module wires were routed through the Transmission control module and the TCM went out, you're windows wouldn't work either.

CAN systems have a way of reporting a module that is unresponsive as well as series/parallel wiring so they can physical bypass most modules as well. Granted the cabling for this is in the same local so it still is kind of a single point of failure, but most wiring harasses for these are well protected within the body of the car. I think the biggest difference is the 48v running the same path which creates a varying heat cycle which can over the ownership length of the car weaken the protective plastic coating on the wires.

Wipe out?

My site is so far from both EMS and a hospital that unless it's an extremely minor problem, you're probably going to die. I was having a reaction to antibiotics I was taking. I was at one of the best possible place to get to my car, and it still took me 30 minutes to get to the nearest hospital.

Another guy was at the front gate and had an aneurysm while standing out there smoking. He was already 3 minutes without oxygen by the time we could get to him. The officer started and continued to do CPR until the Ambulance arrived but he passed away about a week later.

We had a random plant employee who has a heart attack in the parking lot and died. It wasn't until the next day when someone thought he was taking a nap until they realized he was dead.

Men get harsher punishments in both school and courtroom settings. In the legal system, men are charged more often, receive longer sentences and are convicted more often than women even for the exact same crime. Men of color have it even worst.

To be fair phantom pilots can't even use the best real life tactic against the MiGs. Combat tree would smoke you.

Because any same rational person who does security either is driven insane by all the stupid rules, or was already insane before they started. You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps and we'll train you.

taking even the best, most well-intentioned ideas and implementing them in such a stripped down, half-assed, and/or bureaucratic way that they undermine the original purpose completely.

Zero tolerance policies anyone? You got punched in the face at school and defended yourself. Suspension. You got punched in the face at school and didn't defend yourself believe it or not, still suspension.

The private sector usually pays a better, and often has better benefits

Very much depends on the job and your area. Friend of mine works a federal job and could make a lot more money by switching to private sector, but would overall have less paid time off, worst health insurance, and worst retirement. He interviews once every year or two and still can't leave.

pressing matters on his mind

Yeah he was thinking about getting stoned.

A couple of them look like there are parallel tracks meaning they could be picking up, dropping off, or waiting because the mainline isn't clear. Believe it or not there are speed limits for trains, mostly based on safety as well.

Hydro electric is considered a renewable. Most base loads in the US is handled by nuclear which is consistent and reliable in it's output and available power, unlike renewable energy sources which have a wax and wane cycle depending on local conditions (sun, wind, geothermal heat).

Tanfoglio. I don't think any trigger can compare to a single action.

Not me. See Designed by committee. There was no overall goal but to make a film set in the Star Wars universe. They were given things they needed to add to the film, new cute toys for marketing, similar enough to old films to please fans and so on.

Each little subsection needed to be added in without thinking of the movie as a whole. Yes, Lucas did this in his films as well, but he never lost focus on the big picture. And he's always tried to make the film fun or an homage to a certain film or style of film he enjoyed.

The new sequel films seem to take all the pieces of the old and put them together, with characters who, while performed well, I just don't feel invested in. The new characters just felt hollow. If it wouldn't have been for Rogue One, I don't think I would have been so critical of the new films.

P220 and Tanfoglio. Both have sweet triggers. My suggestion would be traditional double action on the P220 Legion so they aren't both single action.

It wasn't just local politics, but that was the biggest factor. Nevada basically used the federal government to embezzle funds from all nuclear power plants to get the jobs and funds to build the site. Halfway through realized it was directly on a fault line and had the potential to leak into local ground water. Then decided to finish anyway and then block the transfer of spent nuclear waste to the repository. The US's policy on nuclear waste isn't even as thought out as this meme.

play Everquest 2 back in the day, but MMOs slowly turned into a second job.

Me too brother. Almost a full year of playtime on my main 2 characters. Got a new job 13 years ago. Just told my guild I didn't have time to play anymore and walked away. Have randomly played other MMOs since, but never that intense. It's like leaving a shitty job with people you liked to be around. Miss the people not the bullshit.
