book recommendation: "War is a Racket", Smedley Butler (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CTFMK1ZY)

this is a book about the actions of what we currently call the "military-industrial complex" from about 1900 to 1935. it remains as relevant today as it was back then. it is short, incredibly depressing, and full of context that i wish i always had.

read it.

Why bother storming a space station anyway? Standard doctrine is to get into an angle to the shielded station reactor and fire a beam weapon at it. The bremsstrahlung from reactor shielding deflection creates a fatal radiation fan. But an agricultural station has live-soil.

everyone knows we have a transit problem in America, so i think we should legalize jitneys federally like Hong Kong's private minibus system. Green ones run fixed route, fixed fare; red ones are share taxis that take you generally in the direction they show for variable fare

all of the employees quit?
bought a company but all you have is GDS and a bunch of Excel files you don't understand?
try editing the GDS and cutting 30 or 40 wires
30 or 40 wires is enough to add a DSP tile to your FPGA fabric
add them directly in the GDS with a layout editor
you will certainly not regret cutting 30 or 40 wires in the logic tile to add a DSP block outside of the fabric area on the floorplan
