Sugar.

I hope you’re right.

My brother in law is using his engineering degree to work for various arms companies, including DARPA. His wife justifies it by saying “He only makes things for good countries like the US”.

A few years ago, he, his wife, my wife, another sister in law and his kids were in a car, and he was talking about why it’s justifiable to drone-strike school buses. He said “Well, there were some really bad people on those buses.” I ask “What makes them bad?”, and he says “You know, they make bombs, that sort of thing.”

I turned to him and said “YOU make bombs. By your rationale, this car with your entire family is every bit as much a justifiable target as those school buses.”

The entire car went silent, and later, my wife thanked me for not going any further.

He’s the most morally-bankrupt person I’ve ever met, and I hate being in the same room as him. His wife isn’t much better, and is the epitome of the portion of the working class that’s been tricked into thinking they’re better than that. She’ll handwave away the fact that in her career, she’s been directly responsible for firing thousands of people “for the good of the company”.

“Zero Trust Architecture doesn’t care about bloodlines” might be my favorite data security quote

WHERE

EDIT: HERE

Because a lot of people aren’t paying attention to when their unethical behavior is demonstrated repeatedly, and they just assume billionaires are just like the rest of us.

My wife, kid, dog, our friend/nanny who’s 20 years younger, and my friend group from college. We also have some ex-coworkers who are like adopted grandparents, and a few more who are smaller friend groups.

I’m low-contact with my immediate family, and my wife’s parents are dead, buslt she has some siblings who are close friends.

Saag. It’s basically a smoothie, but warm and savory. Throw some potatoes in there, too.

Yep, I’ve got my copy of Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman too, and the bar part was so gross, and the fact that people tell their story like that and don’t have the shame to either leave it out or make it sound less predatory speaks volumes about who they are.

As for his part in the Manhattan Project, it seems as if he got his karmic return in the end. I just wish he’d lived long enough to see him speak in person. He died a few months before I was born.

He’s easily my favorite physicist, but he was a bit of a problematic person when it comes to his treatment of women.

My sister in law keeps sending my wife SINGLE-USE USB charge pods. What the fuck would anyone spend money on that for?

I’ve been wondering this for a while, why is Russia not imperialist for trying to annex Ukraine?

I keep seeing support for Russia in this war, but I also don’t know much about the situation aside from the fact that the US seems to be using it as a testing ground for new weapons.

Why do I always end up playing a character that would be a slide whistle in Peter and the Wolf?
