It took a lot of these reactions and almost 30 years for me to realize my childhood was pretty fucked up.

A lot of international aid and development programs fall under the department of state.

One of my favorites was from Bender: "Oh, but you can, but you might have to 'metaphorically' make a deal with the 'devil'. And by 'devil', I mean Robot Devil, and by 'metaphorically', I mean get your coat."

I've been quoting Farnsworth's "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" a lot lately.

Except the commercial aggregators have all started filtering the data of specific planes on request - you won't find Elon's or Swift's ADSB data on popular sites/apps like FlightAware or Flightradar24. (I'm not familiar with PlaneLogger). Open source aggregators like OpenSky or ADSB Exchange will have them though, but the UIs of those sites are far less polished and have fewer features.

Yes. I don't believe much of anything he says, but "dictator on day one" was very obviously his real plan.

Those costs became salaries and paid engineers and skilled tradespeople, lawyers and financiers, auditors and test pilots, illustrators and modelors, janitors and security guards, truck drivers and inventory specialists, logisticians and mathmericians, scientists and metallurgists, flight doctors and software developers... and on, and on, and on - it may be one of the single biggest job creating programs in the USA in a Generation. That money also got routed into mutual funds and 401k's and into the communities where all those people live and work. While there are certainly more noble and more effective uses for money, the F35 program has provided a living for a great many people.

Many long COVID infections are causing/caused significant damage to organs (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11834749/). A vaccination isn't going to reverse organ damage.

Based on his performance in free practice, I'm gonna say Bearman.

Edit: IF Haas is able to get him back on track.

Roswell that Ends Well.

An episode that contains one of my favorite quotes of the entire series:

Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. "I'm my own grandpa".
