Damn, now I want to buy a rocket capable of putting several tons into orbit via PayPal.
What, I can't find that on Amazon? No free two-day shipping available via Prime?

No, there's still plenty of horse shit being tossed around. Probably more.
It might be metaphorical horse shit, but it's still there.
I've never understood it. For some reason, everyone needs to go to college for a master's degree and have a career path that includes a corner office at some point.
Apparently, all the people that keep pushing this philosophy never need electricians, plumbers, municipal waste pickup, roads, and restaurants.
It's okay for people to have high school degrees and work in the service industry. It's okay for people to have associates degrees or vocational certificates and keep the world running. I don't know why anyone would possibly think that it isn't.
Yeah, because I was being completely and totally serious.
Lighten up, jackass.
And, ultimately, have the power to shitcan the laws under Article I, Section VII of the United States Constitution:
"Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law."
If the President really doesn't want something to happen, and the other side doesn't have the 66% + 1 vote to override, that's the way it's going to be.
Congratulations on painting about 100M people with that brush, because clearly they're all exactly the same.
YOU are the problem with politics in the United States.
It's been said many times - Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
Yep, off the bottom end of the scale compared to everything else.
More people die falling off their roofs while installing solar power in one year than have died from nuclear electrical generation in total.
Things positive about radiation:
Sunlight.
Radio.
Nuclear medicine.
Smoke detectors.
Don't be an ass.
OneNote is crippled on every platform except Windows. It only talks to Microsoft cloud crap, rather than the Exchange environment you already own and that the Windows version talks to. It's very aggravating.
This is mostly because the Mac Business Unit at Microsoft doesn't talk with the other teams at Microsoft, and has been putting out crippled versions of Outlook for years. It's a glorified front end for Exchange Web Services, and it sucks completely. I'd rather run the Windows Outlook in a Citrix session than use the Mac version.
They weren't missiles, they were 1940's style uranium gun-type bombs. And they were more worried about the rest of the world coming in and forcibly changing their political structure, which was the reason they spun up the project to begin with.
It's also why it became completely unnecessary when they finally came to their senses.
It doesn't matter if the silos are targets in the first wave - early warning satellites and whatnot would make sure the silos are empty before the warheads arrive.
I don't think even those nut jobs would be retarded enough to effectively nuke themselves.
Or are you talking about tossing a few at Russia? That would be even stupider.
MIRV has nothing to do with first strike. It has everything to do with making anti-ballistic missile systems entirely ineffective.
the US does not have MIRVs,
Yeah, except for the Minuteman III, the Trident SLBMs, and the now retired Peacekeeper/MX. You know, only 100% of the US ICBM force.
