So why were US forces in Nigeria?

During a pandemic, there's a pretty good chance of that.

He's likely wearing lifts as well.

They're completely under estimating the number of people travelling to do deployments of new gear. Once engineering firms can go back to the old norm of flying out a team of installers they're going to do it, if they aren't already doing under essential worker clauses. It's not only sales staff travelling to go play golf with a customer.

"dude", your user ID is low enough to have seen years of GNAA posts and ASCII swastikas. /. is worthless enough now to advertisers that every other post isn't viral marketing any longer. For that you need to visit Reddit.

Mavis Beacon has been put on notice!

He's clearly being disingenuous by muddying the waters as if BLM protesters really mean "only" black lives matter. Seth Rogen's approach is far more appropriate at this stage - these people are just trolling now.

At a mostly Microsoft shop, I installed Teams for Linux on my workstation today. It worked perfectly on the first try.

I get the impression his asylum green office corner with no windows or pictures is in the basement already.

Engines that run off nuclear power have already been developed. You either directly run the compressed air over the rods and leave a trail of fallout behind you or indirectly do it through a heat exchanger, with an efficiency loss. The major problem is shielding everyone from the reactor, which no one has figured out yet. Fusion is still off the table until we have a known working reactor, so yeah. Unless there's an efficiency gain to using the air plasma, we might as well just use a glorified hair dryer as an engine. Batteries are still limited in terms of power density, and don't have the benefit of decreasing in weight as energy is consumed. There's an electric DHC-2 Beaver in Vancouver soon to run low passenger commercial flights - it has about 30 minutes of flight with 30 minutes of reserve charge. The article talks about the power density increasing, so that's encouraging, but we still have a ways to go.

Just finished a very good conversation with President Xi of China. Discussed in great detail the CoronaVirus that is ravaging large parts of our Planet. China has been through much & has developed a strong understanding of the Virus. We are working closely together. Much respect!

All your witnessing is Trump's attempts to deflect any responsibility from himself onto another party.

As of Feb 28th he was still calling it a Democrat hoax. On Mar 9th he still was downplaying it.

The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “The risk is low to the average American.”

"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us." --Trump, on having nuclear

ah yes, the great orator, President Trump.
