I paid for part of my education by serving in the USMC.

I'm educated. Like many educated people, I'm pretty fucking liberal (by American political standards).

Tax the wealthy at a reasonable level, tax corporations at a reasonable level, pull out of foreign engagements, and actually pay for Americans to be healthy and educated. Increased safety and happiness will likely follow. I don't give a shit what you do in your bedroom, so long as it's consensual - keep your religion out of my politics. Close the loopholes and actually make them pay their share.

You know, that sorta shit...

By the American-right standards, that makes me a 'commie pinko fag'.

I actually don't mind paying taxes. My tax burden is pretty high, but I could easily stand higher rates. (I don't even write off most charitable donations, as my way of doing a bit more. Nor do I keep track and write off all sorts of things that I could easily, and legally, claim as expenses.) I do mind how my taxes are spent.

So, while the OP is a troll, I dare say not all Marines are going to want to harm liberals. If anything, many of us would defend them from the morons who'd inflict harm based on political ideology.

There too. They've also got an abundance of wild boars in the DMZ which are actually a bit of a problem.

There have been dozens of documentaries and shows about this very subject.

If the company didn't provide a work phone, in modernity, I'd buy my own cheap device and use it for work. I'd consider it a work-related expense, like appropriate clothing for work and my lunch expenses. I'd budget accordingly and probably try to write it off on my taxes.

I'd do that, rather than give my personal phone number to my employer or before installing employer-related applications on my phone.

I had a laptop that drank almost as much beer as I did. (That's a bit of an exaggeration.)

The thing was magical, however. Every time it drank a beer, it only killed the keyboard. I replaced the keyboard in it so many times (it went through four or five) that I had the process down to under 15 minutes to replace it - on a laptop that went together like a 3D puzzle. I have no idea why it only killed the keyboard and nothing else, as it sure consumed a lot of beer.

I use a few browsers - at the same time. I have different tasks that I do in different browsers.

It helps me keep things isolated and organized. I've been doing it this way for years.

That's fucking retarded.

Not yet. Just too old to have enough patience for the stupidity - which is odd, 'cause I've found even dumber people and have set about seeing if I can motivate them to at least learn something new every day.

It's pretty futile, but it amuses me.

"Anyone here" ... ?

Some of us still stop by and lurk.

Summary says of 44% all employees at Apple feel like imposters and we know that over half of the total are marketers or lawyers. Suddenly the headphone jack removal/Apple Watch/cordless mouse with charging plug on bottom/etc. all starts to makes sense.

Seeing as it took Intel so long to go from i3 to i5 to i7 processors to only now releasing i9s they have a long way to go to get back to the glory version number days of i386.

In all seriousness though, I've kind of given up on making sense of the processor/GPU models and just paste it in Google to see the specs and compare that with another one I am already familiar with.

Someone must have held the rocket the wrong way.

Others have already pointed out the impractical nature of this investment, but the idea could see niche applications. For example in remote warehouse type arrangements for autonomous vehicles moving around a shared space or travelling show go-karts that never need to stop.

Makes a lot of sense from a PhD in physics holder like yourself -- I mean, why go into all the nitty-gritty details on things most people will never understand just because a concept may be tough to understand properly?

As a fellow student of physics and knowing that Wikipedia is open to all I will be suggesting this more broadly comprehensible revision:

Electroweak interaction:
Once upon a time there were separate ideas for how small particles would interact with each other if they were charged up differently or becoming unstable because they had too many parts to them spinning around a centre bit.

The "elecroweak interaction" is the combination of these things into one combined thing. A particle may be charged ("electro") or weakly able to hold on to all its parts ("weak"). If you put the 2 together you get "electroweak".
