Think Tank, to media:
"We have received thousands of pages of written confessions from concerned parents. This is clearly an issue that must be curbed."

1 minute, 60 seconds, 60 thousand milliseconds. I work with computer systems that monitor themselves to make sure they don't take more than 10 milliseconds. At 50 milliseconds, they would raise alarms.
It takes 100 milliseconds to blink.
So, we'd notice pretty much immediately :)
And then all networked computers that assume a response within 30 seconds would go bonkers and maybe need to be restarted.
I'd react by assuming IT misconfigured the Network Time Protocol service that keeps machine clocks synced and inform them.
Not all of them do. What do you want? Rationalization of a wish to generalize over a huge geographical region?
I sympathize with you feeling that way, but of course it's irrational.
Hø?
How do you imagine having an "open discussion" when you reject overwhelming evidence out of hand?
More specifically, what openness will you bring?
Ditch her.
There is this strange belief that humor is exempt from consequences.
In the book "Jam" by "Yahtzee Croshaw" there is a post-apocalyptic sect formed by a group of people from an internet forum. They are not stupid of course; they form a sect ironically. Then they worship a rambling drunk old man called Bob ironically and have ironic sermons and ironically imprison nonbelievers at the ironic orders of the High Priest.
If you point out that this is stupid and evil, they will roll their eyes and go "Duh!", then ironically execute you for heresy.
Basically "litany against fear" but for "emotions"?
Thanks.
Where can one find more context? Just looking at this tweet, it looks like she is straight up calling Elon a literal nazi.
They were stress-bored and were fidgeting by tapping their watch so much that it accidentally triggered the emergency mode and sent me this SMS.
Alert not intended but also in some way accurate.
From the comic "Girl Genius" by Phil and Kaja Foglio
I always felt it was a bit sad that the really cool engine exhaust was always down off the edge of the screen and anything interesting, so I decided to see how this worked.
Pretty happy with it! Learned from last time that I absolutely do not want any processing to go through the main storage, as it makes it so hard to select cargo when everything shifts around.
Also calmed down with engines and uncalmed on production. This thing is used to transport science from Gleba, so it's got to spend very little time refuelling.
Also added fuel, oxidizer and ammo gauges below the main storage so I didn't have to keep inspecing. When everything is full, a 3x7 rainbow lights up. :)
Any suggestions for name? It looks like a beefy dude with hairy armpits, so trying to come up with something that fits my mental image of that somehow.
My first working platform that has now taken me to my first two planets!
After the sad fate of Space Boat which went through the asteroid field like pudding through a cheese grater, and Space Boat II which did not have enough production capabilities to ward off wandering asteroids at Fulgora, the Space Boat III worked perfectly.
With the ability to travel safely and refuel and rearm itself in orbit around any of the starter planets, it is now running autonomous supply transport between Nauvis, Fulgora and Vulcanus without needing any oversight.
At some point I'll have to make a platform with bigger storage and stronger production capabilities so it can travel faster, but for now it does a solid job. :)

They want people to feel like rebels with a cause.
This is a good symbol to make a lot of people your enemies. Your ingroup can now rally against "the establishment".
It couldn't work before, because it made too many enemies for your small ingroup, but we've reached a tipping point where it is feasible to keep a thing going for a while.
