Boeing's on military welfare, like many companies. It has no need to actually produce civilian planes or make profits any more. So why not bump off whistleblowers?

I see bots still posting this comment on every platform when optical media comes up. Disc rot is extremely rare and only happens with discs which had manufacturing defects. I have HUNDREDS of Laserdiscs and HUNDREDS more CDs. The only ones which rotted is Alien, which had a known manufacturing defect.

They removed a lot of the capabilities of Squeak and most of the nice legacy code included for educational and historical purposes, and neutered the object inspection tools. I understand that Pharo is no longer Squeak and the whole idea was to simply take Squeak and change not just the UI but the actual language. But I'm just a Squeak person.

I don't like Pharo because they changed it too radically from Squeak, which I DO like very much.

No, they're smoking behind their parents backs when they're young, and they're not telling their doctors, because Asian Americans, like many minorities, tend to patronize doctors of their own ethnicity and those doctors know their parents.

Start doing autopsies on them - oh wait that's forbidden in their culture.
