Comment Re:As a Former Member of the Military... (Score 0, Flamebait) 133

..can I please ask that anyone who is seriously thinking of turning over classified military secrets NOT do it? While you may sympathize with another side and you may not particularly like our Military or Administration (whichever Party is in power at that time), it's just not worth it. At best your always looking over your shoulder wondering if you will every get arrested. At worst you go away for a bunch of years and have a Felony conviction on your record. So if you don't like what our side is doing and your employed in that field, please do yourself a favor and just quit that job, k?

I totally agree. As retired military member who once held a TS SCI clearance I am well aware of the damage that can be done releasing random reports. In a prior life I was an intelligence analyst that would look for random pieces of information from various compromised sources to achieve an overall big picture of the situation. We are not the only people in the world to do this. If something is marked NOFORN there is a very specific reason to not release it. Maybe if the current administration hired people for their abilities rather then sexual preference or pronouns this would not happen.

Having been a nurse for many years it is easy to work 2 full time jobs. Nurses generally work 12 hour shifts x3 days a week for a total of 72 hours. So 2 full time jobs require 6 days a week. I did this for years but now I limit my work week to no more then 60 hours almost 2 full time nursing jobs.

Amazing all those years I used a boat anchor Inspiron that weighed around 7.8 pounds and never had a problem holding in on my lap. During the dot com hay days I flew to the west cost for work and back home each week. I spent a lot of hours in airports and hotel rooms with my laptop on my lap and never suffered from fatigue. I also would carry it in my arm from server room to server room with it open and on with no problems.

I guess each person is different. I personally don't like the tiny weenie laptops that feel so fragile that if I sneeze they will blow across the room and break. I do know my iBook 14" has fallen from a table top height over 5 times and still works. The only damage my laptop has is the r key is missing from someone knocking a 1200 + page hardback book off of a shelf which landed with the corner of the binding hitting my keyboard. I would be curious how well a 990 gram notebook would take the impact of a 5 pound book from 2 feet?
