Sure it is.
In this case it's something not even they would do, so it must really be out there in la la land...

Long term gains get the big break, short term gains don't, thus you are rewarded for not flipping stocks at HF rates, but being like Warren Buffet and buying based on long term expectations and holding a while.

I got promoted for doing that.
We had a completely *mental* process where we would get an XLS file and had to manually translate the tables of register names and bit positions into C structs.
Budgeted time: 2 person weeks.
I spent the two weeks writing a perl script that did everything I needed (ok, 2 hours, then the rest of the time making it do 'cool' stuff to the source code, and compiler, and source control, and....)
Total runtime of the script? 2.5 minutes.

Did this for a couple projects, turned in the changes same day I would get the XLS files. Boss thought I was doing something akin to faking it. Showed him the script, got a promotion 1 month later.
He asked me how I thought of doing it that way, told him I was lazy, this was easier...

I got to thinking though...
Two grounding rods and a sledge along with some wire.
Drive the two rods into the ground about 10 feet apart and a foot from the fence.
Connect wire from the rods to the fence.
Cut and enter as normal.

But this isn't a booby trap.
The fences have to be properly signed, and are only allowed in industrial zoned areas.

Frankly, I think it's a bit overkill, but I totally understand. A local yard was robbed of commercial sized spools of copper wire, had to cost a ton. Even worse, thieves have been opening the access panel on street lights and using their cars to pull the wire out.

Rancho Cordova (where this passed) has long been seen as a higher crime area, not surprised they're going to these lengths at all.

I'll plug good shoes instead of crap:
Ecco
Worth every penny. The one time I had a pair that I actually finally wore through the sole, they sent me a new pair.

They are branded on the boots, but it's embossed in the leather, and small.

Damn you...
Even in his voice and now it's stuck in my head....

Well played
[ /hat tip ]

but I think that's why they're mad at us right now...

Actually...
Catholic == Christian
&&
Christian != Catholic

Much like:
square == rectangle
&&
rectangle != square

Really...
I have bags of 30 and 72 pin simms, including IBM 3 tin can 256k 30 pin simms...
haven't looked in a while what they are going for, maybe it's time

To be fair, a Trident missile fits nicely on the middle of that platform and doesn't *have* to be armed with a nuke to be really effective. Politically it would be disastrous, but...

My round trip daily drive is:
work 12 miles
dojo 4 miles
kid's school 2 miles

So yeah, 35 mile range is just fine for my daily needs, and my employer even has free charging. (we have a Tesla S and a couple homebrew VW's in the lot already).
I've seriously been considering doing this for a while...

I would really like to attend (and plan to) but my life is chaos, so won't know till the day before or so...

I'm not. While you are correct that a destroyer *may* be the traditional reward, Neil was not a traditional sailor. A vessel class of exploration is fitting, as he was one of our country's most iconic explorers (that was real...).

Meh, they both suck.
Seriously I think we need a multiparty system again. We really are stuck with one party that has some trivial differences they bicker about.

They both: meddle in foreign governments, increase our countries debt, try to remain in power at the expense of the citizenry's well being, increase the size of the government, and ignore what the population has said they want.
