To further the argument: What if the replacement processor was also faulty? Would it be possible to fix it in the field without the processor? If a processor is needed for operation, and all the ones in the local supply chain had the same issue, how quickly could a replacement processor with new code be created?

Amazing, like you are programmed to always have an enemy, even when living in a time of peace

Awesome post, too bad I spent all my game tokens or I would have voted you "insightful" One thing I noticed is after 9-11 military terms such as "not on his watch" have became very common in western society. It is like western society is now in a permanent war state. But whom exactly are we fighting?

.. .other than the whole point of him being out there was to investigate a repeating ghost image on the new radar system. He also leaves out the pilots testimony of a "submerged object with waves crashing on it" etc. As for what it is they saw, I think it is likely a high tech drone(s) launched from a submarine because they found it right at radar range and while a training exercise was occuring. One of the pilots in the video said as much. And no, it doesn't have to be aliens as humans have been launching aircraft from submarines for over a century now. It just makes sense that it is more likely a Mikoyan Skat variant rather than a commercial airliner.

Friends and myself were just talking about this and tried to figure it out. Here is our attempt:
The "normal crude annual mortality rate" for italy is 9.7/1000 ppl
Italy has 60m population so normal daily rate for italy would be 60m*(9.7/1000)/365 which if my calculator skills are correct is around 1500. Italy's current daily death rate for coronavirus is over 600 now www.worldometers.info
So yea, I can see that in isolated areas there might be need for military vehicles.
But what this really points out is that our whole society is structured around a very tight "supply and demand" flow, where even death cannot handle too much deviation or it will go outside normality.

But what if you used 10 of them to cause the hurican's course to shift 10 degrees? Here let me get my marker to show you...

I think that fundamentally is the issue. If I communicated to you as an AC, you lose something do you not? You lose what seems your primary means of how to "classify" me, and ultimately my message: my sex. It is surprising how many people can't see this, that at a very fundamental level they are sexist.

That is precisely it. If you know you have "crazy people" in your ranks, are you morally responsible to not say things that you know has a high probability to trigger them and set them off? Applies to all sides of course.

While I am not an engineer (and yes, hopefully the OP is also not one as well), how does the differences in creep between the two matter? Would it need to align with the concrete's?

Exactly.

They live in a western society that publicly states that it supports whistleblowers, so I think they can be cut a little slack. If anything they also taught us that if you are a whistleblower, have your exit strategy well planned out - and don't believe the "we encourage whistleblowers" BS.

You should try serializing it: 1) You have sex (unlikely with the /. crowd) 2) You produce a child that is a boy 3) You have sex again 4) Now, for some reason, the chance of it being a boy has decreased to be less than 50%. What happened? Did all the boy sperms get used up on the first child?
