    Out of the tens of thousands of installed systems, there are bound to be failures of the mechanical safeties (or human-performed installation/maintenence) that can lead to a Swiss cheese path to failure. I wouldn’t necessarily dismiss the whole category as a bad example because of that however.

    Is it perfectly fail-safe? Well, in those cases, it wasn’t. But what were the contributing factors?



  • Well before 2 days ago, there was the CIA World Factbook, widely considered the most regarded and cited source of world statistics (yes, even given the source - the reason behind its creation and it’s maintainers was quite interesting).

    Of course, in an an administration made up of bullshit, facts are the enemy, so it has been removed and probably destroyed.













  • There will never be another amendment to the constitution passed in the present form of our government. It would take a complete collapse of the federal government and a new constitutional convention.

    As it stands, there is no way to get 2/3 of the states to agree on anything. You couldn’t even get 2/3 of the senate to agree that the sky is blue.
