Bad and Wrong. Your wife and kids don't need your resentment. You do no one any favors by framing your working habits as a trade-off between your self-respect and their well-being.

Hilarious. Sounds like momma's got a sixth sense about people.

It's easy to get rid of - just think of the game over music: Dunn-dunn-dunn-dunnnnnnnn...

In soviet russia...

Hate to break your heart here, but there's no need for a technological solution. Deterrence works fine. Fines, points, suspension of license, double-secret probation, etc.

I won't hear that ad, because I'll be outside scraping the ice off the windshield.

Ryan, some things in here don't react well to bullets.

OK, let me reword that a little: "...Telling someone who trusts you that you're giving them medicine, when you know you’re not, because you want their money, isn’t just lying--it’s like an example you’d make up if you had to illustrate for cheekyjohnson why lying is wrong."

Well yes, obviously the roads, the roads go without saying.

When things don't work, it's a failure. Doesn't matter how much you did or didn't spend. There's no "on paper" involved. ($170M is really cheap, though.)

Testing after launch isn't called "testing" anymore. It's called "really hoping things go well on this crap shoot" followed by "failure". That's why this stuff is expensive, by the way: You either do it right, or you get nothing. Well, maybe you get a fireball or a crater, but you don't get any science.

Don Draper, is that you?

You don't have to be in aid and development to realize that somebody saying "Fuck it, let's just fling computers at 'em from the sky." is a pretty good indication that they're out of ideas, but not funding.

And...
...While everyone technically has the right equipment for this, not everyone's seems to be working quite right.
...Things are stretched and distorted beyond recognition.
...People take completely unrealistic positions and refuse to admit they can't hold them.
...It sounds like it might be entertaining, but it's mostly just disturbing.
