Critical Systems Engineering? Sounds expensive. Nah fuck that, let’s write the code in VB6 and stick it on an unsecured Windows NT box.

One thing I’ve been mulling over is “tax stock dividends at source.” So if a company is paying out dividends to stockholders, there’s no hiding it, the tax to the IRS is paid up front.

As someone who works in aircraft maintenance, I am actually shocked by this. Forget the video footage, that’s just a cheap-assed commercial camera somewhere in the rafters. But the paperwork?

As a repair station, we have to document every single step of every single task. If a mechanic does it, he signs that he has done it and an inspector checks and countersigns that he has done it correctly. For a single aircraft input, this is upwards of 50,000 signed task steps. We have to hand all that data to the customer when it is complete, and also keep it for a minimum of 7 years for most stuff, some things in perpetuity.

If Boeing couldn’t provide the exact names and dates involved within a 5 minute search, then someone has already found it and destroyed it.

Absolutely, I have no problem with the intent of the proposal, just the wording was lazy and too open to abuse.

The care one however was awful. That would need a total rework before I’d consider a yes.

For me, the lack of a definition of a durable relationship was the killer. How do you know if you’re in one? What if one person thinks they are and the other doesn’t? Do you have to break up every six months or so to avoid creating one?

And definitely the care referendum was just stupid. The state will “strive” to provide care? My dude I’m striving to levitate right now, but mysteriously fuck all seems to be happening in real life.

This was in Ireland, and she was in the local newspaper after winning a tree-tossing competition…

Irish here, I’m with you. Fuck the IRA. Drug dealing gangsters selling themselves to Americans as freedom fighters.

Now, in all fairness, when did that ever stop the bastards
