Comment Re:Only right use of an Executive Order I've seen (Score 1) 94

Every branch, and each political faction, constantly, and steadily usurps power from the american people. Democrat vs Republican ballots merely ask, which powers do you want to lose today? Whichever you pick, the other party waits, because they will take away the other freedom soon enough. There is not an option that says, "I want more freedom", or "I want the government to have less control of my life."

When you move to click on one orf those boxes it moves away.

Which is why I' really like some details about the experimental settings/procedure.
The paper's title is "Studies of pear-shaped nuclei using accelerated radioactive beams": is it possible the pear-shape is actually caused by the acceleration?

The acceleration of gravity causes my pear shape.

... the public perception is that scientists are getting research funding that they are squandering in the science equivalent of the $56,000 hammer sold to the military...

What makes you think they're wrong?

When you have a $56,000 hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Yeah, but would you hit an ordinary nail with a $56000 hammer, or would you be looking for MIL-SPEC nails?

M56K nails FTW.

Or, you know, give the money back to the tax-payers and stop fucking spending it - period. Still, I'd rather you pay for your children's education. That's not something that requires the collective effort of the entire nation to accomplish. Defense, however, is. So if it came between subsidizing the education/daycare of your snot-nosed rug-rats versus a navy ship, I'll take the ship.

However, I'd rather they just but that $37b, period.

It takes a village to train a village idiot.
