1. Horrific.

3. There's always precursor events before anything like the Stonewall (Uprising/Riots), isn't there?

9. I read about that. I'm sure the Reich-wingers' counterparts in other countries are working up their own versions of those lists. Such ambitions on their parts must be crushed.

I actually think the departure of Sinclair vastly improved the story. Not because of the actor, but because of the whole Valen storyline that then came about.

I am curious though as to what shape the Valen story would have taken had Sinclair not left.

It's terrifying. I don't know enough about reliability engineering -- I want to know what actually happened: I thought aerospace had a LOT of standards for testing and similar, how did this bypass all of them. The article mentioned having a principle of redundancy, of never relying on a single sensor. But I don't know, is that on a checklist somewhere, or was it understood by the engineering people but not part of a formal process, or what?

There's a revised version of the three-halflings-in-a-trenchcoat fighter archetype.

As a rule of thumb, I tend to find that linking straight to Reddit, rather than someone's write-up of a Reddit thread, is nearly always better. Assuming you're linking to the good Reddit, of course, not the cesspool that is e.g. /r/The_Donald.
