This is why you send suspended blastocysts, rather than breathing/pooping/screwing humans. If your target destination ends up not being viable when you get there, you just abort (or head elsewhere, if you have the means.)

Who do you want setting telecommunication policy: experts in that field, or experts at winning elections? 200+ years ago, when our system of government first formed, life was simple enough that the qualifications for competent governance were not much above a grade-school education. Today's world is far more complex. The bar to entry into Congress is too low to fill those shoes competently.

Submitter here. I concur-- the trailer seems to be bits and pieces of other interviews, stitched together out of context.

I punch 3 holes in every receipt: one each for parent, left, and right. Then I attach them all by string, in a balanced tree. If I need multiple search keys, I just use different colors of string, and different sets of holes. Rebalancing can be a bit of a bitch, after insertion. (I never delete.)
