China shows it's fear of "lesser nations" daily. Trust me, Pacifica is watching very closely.

Sci Fi is a flavor of fantasy that favors grounded explainations over magic, yet can't escape it entirely. In order for something to be sci fi, it must have something in it that can be percieved as "magical," even in the "sufficiently advanced technology" sense of the word. Jump/warp tech, laser weapons, space warfare in general, most life support concepts, AGI... All magic as far as we know now. Any sci fi without the roots of fantasy is really just modern fiction.

Protection from grit. And because polymers that can resist balistic shock and heat had only very recently been invented by then, and it was "cool" to find a way to make it useful.

No, I could se this... Fill up a full page and then it jumps to the next, blank page. If she can't see that the first page exists, she may have thought she just erased all her work by typing one too many keys.

Source: I work in IT and pretty sure I've seen exactly this. Lot's of flavors to the human experience, lemetellyou.

That's a smoke screen. Another is the "liberal brainwashing machine" school system scare. What they fear is the statistic that higher educated individuals trend towards populism and progressivism. They see higher education of youths as a threat to their political base, which turns into "spineless parents sending kids to liberul brainwashing camps funded by the gubmnt."

If you thought the static on the OUTSIDE was fun... Never disconnect a cathode tube assembly from the power board without discharging EVERYTHING first. It's lethal. https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc

And you get to make one of those cute "Resolved; for record keeping" tickets to fill out your day :) This is why I actually give out my direct line. If anyone gets upset at not being able to reach me, I can just say tons of people have that same number and are trying to reach me, and I'm never bored from 8-5

Not to mention that if he is off of any 1 ballot and loses, he has ammunition for another Jan6. If he has a "fair shot" and loses, there is less plausibility and (hopefully) fewer followers in the repeat.

I use it. I'm 29 and in Tier II IT. The human experience is broader than your own, oh great Center of the Universe.
