If so it’s still gross of the gunman to take something as pure and wholesome as a school shooting and corrupt it with political overtones by missing his target.

Ew, I don’t want any president pardoning their own fuckass kid, I’m not cool with corruption even if it’s the guy on “my side”.

Ok, it sounded like you were saying you had some additional information that there was sexual abuse (like he was a known cheater or something). You’re just saying it’s possible even if it was not reported. Fair enough, the guy sounds absolutely wretched and probably doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Are you saying sexual abuse (as you define in your comment) WAS reported? I’m confused why you’re defining it here.

Not many people know this but most dinosaur species have mustaches.

When all you have is a few bone fragments and a bunch of teeth, it’s pretty hard to figure out what my dude looked like! With each new fossil we get a better picture.

He keeps getting better and bite-ier every year.

Ball outsourced the optics, not really their specialty. Also made of toxic beryllium so preferable not to machine in-house!

You’re right, the frog’s full name is lil’ Spallanzani.

Hmm, space is a little different because so many products are one-offs. It’s hard to design checklists and detailed procedures when you’re making what are essentially prototypes each time. So you make more general processes and then your engineers apply them as needed to each unique build. It can end up looking like a bit of a mess. Space builds rely a lot on expert techs, good modular documentation, and multiple layers of engineering oversight because things change along the way and you can’t always plan for it.

I’m a process engineer at a different aerospace company. I standardize as much as I can and work hard to make instructions clear but man it’s a struggle. Boeing’s space group needs to pay people enough to retain good talent, because they’re all making decisions all day long.
