Yeah, I work for a Federal agency, and I can confirm this is an extremely plausible situation. Was probably a contractor.

The irony that this is posted on Wired, an ad-supported site, is sublime.

I’ve played five and six string basses, but I’ve always owned a four string. I guess I like the punch of a Jazz bass a little better. Especially Ibanez and Peavey Cirrus basses; they’re almost “floppy” sounding to me.

I am, once again, in the only correct corner

Sure, all those other times we added a lane did nothing to help traffic, but this time will be different

Everybody raise your hand if you were radicalized by Star Trek ✋

It helps that Stewart is such a fantastic monologist. It’s like hearing something complex about biology or ecology from David Attenborough. They both have such an effortless ability to communicate difficult subjects.

Another key point I feel is often overlooked about Star Trek is the “Gulliver’s Travels” component of (at least pre-Kelvin) Star Trek. Every show, every race was secretly a fun-house-like caricature of humanity’s worst traits, with the humans of the show demonstrating growth past that point. You laugh at or shirk away from them, but really it’s modern humanity that is being depicted (Ferengi as capitalists, Klingons as warmongers, Romulans as subversives, etc.) And then we see what we could be, the hope that you talked about, in future humanity

Man fuck that, if I’m in a coma work can suck my dick
