Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Hey now. Some of us may get sick or die, but at least we'll have an overpriced yet somehow super cheaply made satellite security system operated by a ketamine addict.

He is gonna leech tax money for a product that he will never deliver.
It'll be done by next year
Or a product that he will have built using tax money, and that he will instead use to hold the world ransom.
Don't worry, he's also got the help of *checks notes... Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey!
Don't people feel good for supporting the original Oculus Rift now? I'm so glad the godfather of modern VR is an absolute pile of shit and always was!
Guiding drones to a target is the killer app for VR headsets

A lot of engineers don't realize that there is earned expertise and skill in other fields...or that the consent of the governed matters.
And this is why multidisciplinary education is important.
Cops get the benefit of beating people up, engineers get bragging rights for an alleged superiority.
One of the sources familiar with the talks described them as “a departure from the usual acquisition process. There’s an attitude that the national security and defense community has to be sensitive and deferential to Elon Musk because of his role in the government.”
Following in the hallowed (retch) footsteps of Dick Cheney and Halliburton's no-bid contracts to "rebuild" Iraq.

Never considered the pros of Kessler syndrome. Also I guess alien defense?.. speed bumps.
This is the setup to a Bond movie
It'd be a shame if the targeting software got corrupted.
You mean to pay him to have someone else use it, right?
Because he’s got the cerebral capacity of a cloud of fart particles, and half the personality.
