strasser··on Doomsday Clock Moves Closer to Midnight
moving some imaginary clock back and forth to give/relieve oneself anxiety always struck me as kinda weird.

Don't people have anything else to do?

strasser··on All the best advice we could find on how to get a job

strasser··on Powerful Political Forces Are Aligning Behind Minimum Income
Great comments Kenji - pointing out the futility of the liberal mindset.
strasser··on Claims of Age Bias Rise, but Standards of Proof Are High
This is typical bullshit coming from some asshole manager. People who aspire to be managers think they're God's gift and it's the ending point for your career.

By definition, there will always be less numbers of managers than technicians.

Being a manager is a different skillset and not everyone WANTS to be a manager.

Typical comment from a clueless pointy haired boss!

strasser··on 60 years ago: The famous Boeing 707 prototype barrel roll over Lake Washington
I wouldn't believe so - as Tex explained:

“The airplane does not recognize attitude, providing a maneuver is conducted at one G. It knows only positive and negative imposed loads and variations in thrust and drag. The barrel roll is a one G maneuver and quite impressive, but the airplane never knows it’s inverted.”

As long as you have enough thrust and the plane can withstand the G force, it will roll.

strasser··on Sriracha founder reveals the 'secret' wholesale price of his sauce
You're not from around here. Irwindale is in the middle of nowhere, next to a freeway and a rock quarry.

The AQMD is one of the shadiest governmental agencies there is - apparently their main function is to demand enough shakedown money from SoCal businesses so they leave town.

strasser··on Physicians group labels obesity a disease
Probably we're overthinking the whole thing. When I was a kid, obese people just ate too much.
