It was being cheap, not woke, that got them killed. Step away from the culture wars and pay attention.

People do listen to other sorts of music you know.
My favorite artist is Soul ballet. Rick Kelley is the guy who makes it and he does all the instrumentals. He also mixes in a lot of techno stuff that isn't going to translate to a live performance.
Then there's classical arists...

Submission + - Navy Gets 8-megajoule Rail Gun Working
prototypo writes: "The Fredericksburg, Virginia-based Free Lance-Star newspaper is reporting that the Navy Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia has successfully demonstrated an 8-megajoule electromagnetic rail gun. A 32-megajoule version is due to be tested in June. A 64-megajoule version is anticipated to extend the range of naval gunfire (currently about 15 nautical miles for a 5-inch naval gun) to more than 200 nautical miles by 2020. The projectiles are small, but go so fast that have enough kinetic punch to replace a Tomahawk missile at a fraction of the cost. In the final version, they will apex at 95 miles altitude, well into space. These systems were intially part of Reagan's SDI program ("Star Wars"). An interesting tidbit in the article is that the rail gun is only expected to fire ten times or less per day, presumably because of the amount of electricity needed. I guess we now need a warp core to power them :)"
