Didn't Russia or the USA train dolphins during the cold war to do military missions - or at least tried to?

China, the lived version of a dictatorship of the proletariat
Yeah, my ass...

In my experience they do.
I've given some cooled out bees some honey and warm water, and they always go for it and usually recover and fly away

An upvote wasn't enough.
Thank you!

I have only skimmed the eureka alert article, but already on the surface it's so much better than... whatever the fuck that originally-linked thing is.

My ISA Fritz! ISDN card fucking killed me...
I could, and did, live with the terminal for quite some while, surfing with Links, listening to music and even watching videos. Besides the obvious open IIRC chat in one terminal.
But the Fritz Card was horrible to setup. I need to say, that it was ok, when it worked, but as far as I remember, I needed to compile the kernel with support for it and afterwards needed to configure some memory or bus addresses somewhere.

As this was my only computer as a teenager, this was just a horrific experience. Cutting myself off from the information live line multiple times until I got it right.
Also setting up dual boot the first time was a fun adventure...

Well, that's how my business trips usually look like.

Work outside of usual production, but still somehow watch and verify your changes during production the next day, maybe producing hot-fixes, and trying to get some sleep until you can do your tests of changes at night, after you hopefully have swallowed all the fucking log data with a beer - and sometimes 2 and something stronger.

Then you go to bed with an unresolved issue, wake up during the night with some kind of wacky dreamed up solution.
Without any other option you hack it in, and it miraculously works.

Then you go home and sleep - until some support call disturbs your Zen and you're helplessly confused again ..

I guess, baby steps?

Actually, in some industries this is actually a good thing

If you can have a bumpy first day on Friday, and e.g. the warehouse is closed on the weekend, you can fix all the things you've seen on Friday during the weekend. And don't have to suffer through a real rough week with in-production patching

So, Trump let's public money build him the jet, he can use as a private citizen after his term?
Why is this not surprising...

Would make sense, I guess, yeah.

Thank you very much!
