relatable
And another thing that was unusual about our operation is everybody who designed and built the sub went with the sub to sea for the sea trials, even though some of these engineers had never been a ship before. I think the most dangerous part of our whole operation was these young software engineers puking over the railing in a high sea. But I wanted them with me because I knew as an experimental vehicle we would be finding little flaws and ways to improve it and so on as we went along. We wanted to emerge out of that sea trial program with a fully vetted and refined vehicle before it went into Phase 2. We never went into Phase 2, but that was our game plan.

I liked this bit on page 7
Transcript: I became an informal pilot of the Mir submersibles, learning, you know, from their pilots. And then we -- if I'm going into too much detail, stop me. Q. No. No, sir. It's great.

They should have listened to me. Now we are reaping the consequences.
from FB 15 October 2020. Social media companies should just ban conservatism. It has nothing to offer the world but death and destruction. They're well within their rights to do so as well.

NYT says this about what the Trump administration is doing: "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians."

we have a lot to learn from Japan.
text of a tweet from @mikantheorange. Top FIVE THINGS you should NEVER do in Japan: 1 - Murder. Murder is actually very illegal in Japan. It goes against the traditional Japanese concept of ” ikiru", in which they believe human beings should live. It is a beautiful belief you should respect when you come to Japan.
