He was so critical of flaws in NASA's "safety culture" that he threatened to remove his name from the report unless it included his personal observations on the reliability of the shuttle, which appeared as Appendix F.[53] In the appendix, he argued that the estimates of reliability offered by NASA management were wildly unrealistic, differing as much as a thousandfold from the estimates of working engineers. "For a successful technology," he concluded, "reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled."[54]

Richard Feynman wrote that while other members of the Commission met with NASA and supplier top management he sought out the engineers and technicians. That is how he became aware of the O-ring problem. He also noted that one of the Commission's main worries concerned the type of leather binding in which to present the report to the President.[14]

That's my favorite part of the Rogers Commission.

I just read that part in his book where he wrote that last week.

Richard Feynman is a personal hero of mine, such an awesome person.

Church & Dwight, one of the world’s biggest condom makers, did not respond to questions about the impact that Mr. Gardner might have on its inventory if he is elected.

Similar but different radio version: http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/elections/2014/GMMB_25914_NARAL_CO_ThisGuy.mp3

He has returned home to report failure in his mission to purchase condoms. “How did this happen?” she asks.

He replies: “Cory Gardner banned birth control, and now it’s all on us guys. And you can’t find a condom anywhere. And the pill was just the start. The Pell grants my little brother was counting on for college? Cory cut them! Climate change that everyone knows is weirding our weather—Cory flat-out denies it! Sweet pea, Cory denies science!”

I don't remember the exact phrasing, but I knew an old Catholic guy that used to tell this one:

Q: How can you spot a Baptist or Catholic in a liquor store?

A: The Baptist is the one that tries to duck out without being seen. The Catholic is the one that walks up to you and says "How's it going, Father?"

I went to a Catholic wedding where the padre made fun of Methodists during the actual ceremony.

I still don't understand why he felt the need to do this.

Anyway, we're all on average vastly better off now than the 1980's or ever before.

For example, Wikipedia is almost infinitely superior to World Book unless you need to prop up a table or something.

Better in tech? Sure

I am quite disappointed how forgetful and ungrateful people are.

They should look at the whole picture instead of just looking at their pockets. I'll go one step further and say most of the Americans are stupid and downright idiotic when it comes to politics ... Republicans have mastered the American politics and have the whole country eating out of their hands when it comes to their creation myths (high deficit is bad! government is evil!), and our idiotic citizenry now thinks Republicans are more adept at handling economy and foreign policy.

The People have spoken and they should be ignored! And they should vote for their own interests, as long as it lines up with the big picture!

[benjipwns]

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/03/opinion/cancel-the-midterms.html?_r=0

There was a time when midterm elections made sense — at our nation’s founding, the Constitution represented a new form of republican government, and it was important for at least one body of Congress to be closely accountable to the people.

...

The main impact of the midterm election in the modern era has been to weaken the president, the only government official (other than the powerless vice president) elected by the entire nation. Since the end of World War II, the president’s party has on average lost 25 seats in the House and about 4 in the Senate as a result of the midterms. This is a bipartisan phenomenon — Democratic presidents have lost an average of 31 House seats and between 4 to 5 Senate seats in midterms; Republican presidents have lost 20 and 3 seats, respectively.

The realities of the modern election cycle are that we spend almost two years selecting a president with a well-developed agenda, but then, less than two years after the inauguration, the midterm election cripples that same president’s ability to advance that agenda.

...

There’s an obvious, simple fix, though. The government should, through a constitutional amendment, extend the term of House members to four years and adjust the term of senators to either four or eight years, so that all elected federal officials would be chosen during presidential election years. Doing so would relieve some (though, of course, not all) of the systemic gridlock afflicting the federal government and provide members of Congress with the ability to focus more time and energy on governance instead of electioneering.

This adjustment would also give Congress the breathing space to consider longer-term challenges facing the nation — such as entitlement spending, immigration and climate change — that are either too complex or politically toxic to tackle within a two-year election cycle.

I get where the author is coming from, but I feel like the bigger problem here is that election cycles keep getting longer and longer, to the point where it never seems like we're actually outside of one. Less than halfway through Obama's second term and the media has already been talking so much about 2016 that I'm sick and tired of hearing about it.

[benjipwns]

Rather than write something myself, this comment on the article mostly hits all the points I was going to:

Bill New Zealand 2 hours ago

Good God no! I live overseas in a Parliamentary system; it is unrepresentative and barely democracy. All elected officials put party before constituency, and MPs in many cases are not allowed to vote against party, so one of the very issues that allows for bipartisanship in the US system--voting against your own party--is not possible by design.

You don't even vote for a leader, but a party. There are no primaries, so who the party anoints is who you are stuck with. And elections come around when the party in power decides to call one.

The US system may be having problems, but the solution is a not a system that allows the voters to be totally ignored while a government rams an agenda down the nation's throat with little or no debate.

I cannot even imagine what the US would have looked like if Bush and Cheney had been elected in the NZ parliamentary system with no checks on power, and a completely stifled opposition. Yes, believe it or not, in a different system, it would have been far worse.

While I get annoyed by gridlock, the fact is true democracy is alway a struggle between those trying to govern and those trying to reign in power. Any government that works without real and effective opposition is no longer a democracy.

It certainly seems like a lot of people want to move to that kind of system of one election that decides everything for four or five years until the next one. And the obsessiveness over the Presidential elections is that + Great Man Theory.

Good crazy answers, but this one

The Oakland city council is corrupted and incompetent to the core. It rear its ugly head with the city garbage contract process, shady at least and illegal at worst. I am not their friend. Their support is not needed because my "Community Empowered Safety Plan" does not require the council for implementation. I am there to instill fear in the council, with watchful eyes like a cat watching blind mice play. When I pierce their deception, corruption, and/or bribery, that is when I pounce. They'll know me as Overseer Liu. To achieve my goals, if any councilmember obstructs me in any way that is unreasonable, I'll intellectually bitch slap them until they go home crying.

GOP Establishment: "SEE WE'RE NORMAL, VOTE FOR US IN 2016"
http://www.politico.com/story/2014/11/2014-elections-republican-candidates-112428.html

For the Republican Party’s leadership, taking control of the U.S. Senate might not even be the sweetest part of a victory in 2014.

With growing confidence as Election Day approaches, Republican leaders are preparing to argue that broad GOP gains in the House and Senate would represent a top-to-bottom validation of their party’s mainline wing. Having taken a newly heavy-handed approach to the primary season this year, the top strategists of the Republican coalition say capturing the majority would set a powerful precedent for similar actions in the future — not just in Senate and congressional races, but in the presidential primary season as well.

National Republicans managed this year to snuff out every bomb-throwing insurgent who tried to wrest a Senate nod away from one of their favored candidates. They spent millions against baggage-laden activists such as Matt Bevin, the Louisville investor who mounted a ham-fisted challenge to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel, the conservative upstart who imperiled a safe seat by nearly ousting longtime Sen. Thad Cochran.

...

Senate GOP Whip John Cornyn, the Texan who twice chaired the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said the party had experienced a “very, very important evolution” this year — one from which it would not turn back.

“Where we ran into problems was where that small sliver of the party insisted on nominating people who could win the primary but couldn’t win the general,” Cornyn said of the past two election cycles. Of the party’s successful 2014 course-correction, Cornyn said: “I promise you it’s a lesson we will not forget.”

...

What’s more, the party took additional steps to lean on the primary process and shape it in its favor: In Colorado, Republicans coaxed prosecutor Ken Buck out of his second campaign for the U.S. Senate and into a congressional race, making way for Gardner’s statewide campaign. In Kentucky, after Bevin announced his primary run against McConnell, the Senate leader sent a message across his party’s hired-gun community by banishing Bevin’s consultants from the NRSC.

Indeed, no Republican embodies the campaign to lock down the primary process better than McConnell, the hard-nosed fundraising whiz who told The New York Times in March that he would “crush” the conservative outside groups lined up against him and his colleagues. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country,” he said.

...

For all their successes this year, GOP leaders are by no means confident that they have muffled the intraparty rebellion for good — or that they’ve created adequate maneuvering room in a presidential race for a candidate like Chris Christie, the party’s most prominent blue-state governor, or Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor who’s gotten crosswise with the base on immigration reform and Common Core education standards. (One well-connected Republican strategist warned: “If we get a nominee like Ted Cruz, we’ll have a Todd Akin-level disaster on an even bigger stage.”)

...

As a result, Cole said, there’s a fairly wide recognition in the party — not just among donors and interest groups in Washington — that electoral competitiveness demands a more discerning approach to primaries. He cited Gardner’s Senate campaign and the elevation of Iowa state Sen. Joni Ernst, an anointed favorite of longtime Gov. Terry Branstad, as illustrative examples.

“That’s not just orchestrated from Washington, D.C. A lot of Republicans at the local level are also making smart decisions and saying, ‘It’s not enough to win the primary,’” Cole said. “I see the same thing in the House candidates I’ve interacted with over the last year.”

Whether or not the party’s more tactically prudent approach this year carries over into the mood of the Republican base in a presidential cycle, party leaders are confident the 2014 results will bolster electability-minded arguments heading into the next campaign.
“While many point to the president’s abysmal approval ratings or the GOP tilt to the playing field as the primary reasons we may win the U.S. Senate, the real key to victory on Election Day may be the quality of candidates on our side,” said Robert Blizzard, a Republican pollster who works with many House and Senate campaigns.

Invoking two of the party’s most famously disastrous recent nominees, Blizzard added: “There really are no [Richard] Mourdocks or [Christine] O’Donnells in this class of GOP candidates. That’s because our best general election candidates won their primaries this time around.”

I don't give a fuck about professional sports. They're only good for useless entertainment value. What I do care about is that these teams don't leech off of pubic taxpayers to pay for their shit. Don't expect the taxpayers to build a stadium for your ass, you purchase the land and build it on your own dime motherfuckers. If you get offended by what I say, well fuck you too then.

An alternative form of transportation I support is horses. I am an animal lover and those ponies are cute. With my trusty horse sidekick, HORSEY, I'll ride like a western cowboy slinging revolvers and my horse shit all over Oakland grass patches as natural fertilizer for the trees and flowers. I am an environmentalist too. Now you may think horses are kinda old fashion, not up in the Oakland hills, those people call themselves equestrians with stables the size of a three-car garage. We all need to learn to ride horses so we can stop paying outrageous gas prices.

Another reason why horses are better than bikes is no one today is crazy enough to want to steal a horse, they may get a hind leg kick to the face then it is game over. You've seen how easy it is to steal a car in Grand Theft Auto and Gone in 60 Seconds. You try that with a horse, it might bite your head off. MEEEeeeeehh.

...

Just imagine yourself riding a horse, running pass an obnoxious Segway scooter ride, you can literally trample on his ass and bounce at the same time. I like that feeling. We must get more horses. Vote Liu.

Not sure if the “digital divide” is such a bad thing, I don’t think kids are suffering because of it, but I’ll bridge the gap in Oakland with condoms. You see, what it means is 95% of the kids up in the Oakland hills be clicking on porno sites at an earlier age versus 50% of flatland kids be hooking it up with the real thang so they need contraceptives. I live in the flat lands, when I was 13, we didn’t have fast ass internet such as Cumcast, yeah it’s Cumcastic. What we had was slow ass AOL 56K modem, but I was still clicking on the “I am over 18” tab like a lab monkey. We use to wait for a jpeg to load in a minute or two. I was a nerd, trading dozens of 3.5” floppy disks each filled with 1.2MB of salacious photos to other nerds in school. Now I reminisce, what fucking losers we were, other male classmates who did not have internet access at home be bangin hot chicks in school. While we wasted time looking at a god damn 14 inch CRT, those other dudes be focusing on their “Mac” skills with their inches. Know what I am sayin. (REMINDER: all this shit happened before I accepted Jesus okay)

Don't worry, all the polls have a GOP bias as shown by polls in the past and in every single one of these the Democrats actually lead by at least five points or more if you do the math. Probably will see a number of pickups that could make this a Democratic Supermajority in the Senate. Not to mention taking back the House since the Generic Ballot is really +7 Democrat.

The GOP probably won't even run anyone for President in 2016 at this rate.

* leftist policies are fantastic!  Burn the sane business models, kill your baby on a whim so you may continue to carelessly fuck, let in exponentially violent religious psychopaths and call it tolerance (but openly curse modern Christianity while you're at it), create the worst education system on earth but pay the teachers a crack-high salary with zero chance of termination for their abysmal performance.  Why just visit the land Mr. Oliver ran away from before he came here to infect us (bumping paths with tail-between-his-legs Piers Morgan I imagine).  Ahhhh, Great Britain, a formerly meaningful land now utterly soused, immensely vulgar and violent, Big Brother monitoring the decaying people from surveillance cameras in every possible corner, a former world influencing race of people now in voluntary demographic suicide, with the muezzin calling for British destruction 5X every day from the most populated mosques on earth - right in merry ole England.  Great idea, HBO, to bring the same virus here to the Colonies.  More cancer, please!!

If there was ever a clearer indicator that leftist policies actually regress a people, it's how these media execs now resort to using comedy to force their repellent political persuasions through to the populace today.  And Americans, through nearly a century of progressivism shoved down our throats, have become collectively and dangerously adolescent.  Men are nothing but dependent and incapable boys, women are alone and pissed off, and Comedy Central has mastered the laugh track as electoral weapon.  Let's all just give up, mock our opponents into submission with the heft and weight of a multi-billion dollar corporate media industry, and keep assuming you can maintain a republic through an elite driven national policy of narcissism.  HBO now has their own John Stewart, but will the people ever figure out the ploy?

"We have an apathetic president," Ernst said to a crowd, according to The Washington Post's Ben Terris. After her speech she said Obama "is just standing back and letting things happen, he is reactive rather than proactive."

Ernst added "with Ebola, he’s been very hands off." And that's where the back-and-forth started with Pierce, a sports-writer-turned-commentator media personality and who is the author of four books, including "Idiot America." With Ernst, he asked her what Obama should have done differently.

"What should he have done about Ebola?" Pierce said. "One person in America has Ebola."

"OK, you’re the press and you’re giving me your opinion," Ernst responded.

"It’s not an opinion, only one person in America has it," Pierce interjected.
