We will see from this year's mid-term elections. I don't think your numbers will hold up.

How do you know I am not?

BTW! Returning to OP subject, how is JJK meetup coming along? Sorry the Trek hijack there!

This sequence, preceded by various from 2001 viewed age nine, showed/reaffirmed me how to live life.

H.P. Lovecraft Despair O'er the midnight moorlands crying, Thro' the cypress forests sighing, In the night-wind madly flying, Hellish forms with streaming hair; In the barren branches creaking, By the stagnant swamp-pools speaking, Past the shore-cliffs ever shrieking, Damn'd demons of despair. Once, I think I half remember, Ere the grey skies of November Quench'd my youth's aspiring ember, Liv'd there such a thing as bliss; Skies that now are dark were beaming, Bold and azure, splendid seeming Till I learn'd it all was dreaming — Deadly drowsiness of Dis. But the stream of Time, swift flowing, Brings the torment of half-knowing — Dimly rushing, blindly going Past the never-trodden lea; And the voyager, repining, Sees the wicked death-fires shining, Hears the wicked petrel's whining As he helpless drifts to sea. Evil wings in ether beating; Vultures at the spirit eating; Things unseen forever fleeting Black against the leering sky. Ghastly shades of bygone gladness, Clawing fiends of future sadness, Mingle in a cloud of madness Ever on the soul to lie. Thus the living, lone and sobbing, In the throes of anguish throbbing, With the loathsome Furies robbing Night and noon of peace and rest. But beyond the groans and grating Of abhorrent Life, is waiting Sweet Oblivion, culminating All the years of fruitless quest. Classics H.P. Lovecraft 1890 - 1937/Male/American

...on the generous terrace!

All noted & respected. Thk u. My 58yo memory is becoming riddled with moth holes...

James Comey ✔@Comey All should appreciate the FBI speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would. But take heart: American history shows that, in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field, so long as good people stand up. Not a lot of schools or streets named for Joe McCarthy. 5:51 PM - Feb 1, 2018 https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/01/politics/james-comey-fbi-tweet/index.html

I think I want that on my tombstone... DRO ELEMENTS WITHIN LOGIC STATE OF LMC REQUIRE EXTERNAL FL-CX CONTROLS TO RESTORE INFORMATION INTO CORE ARRAY

You can, or once could, actually buy this thing from some crazed movie-memento-creator.

I love you to death. But there is that very old post here where you mention taking up residence in the Hotel Cala de Volpe via Starwoods Rewards Points.

...Tongues of angels, begotten not created! O cum let us..

You know, Neil Armstrong assumed that the same safety margins were built into the LM by Northrup Grumman. He knew the documented engineering limits said YOU HAVE TO TOUCH DOWN NOW TO SURVIVE, WITHOUT ANY FOOLING AROUND [to paraphrase]. But he said afterward, about the treacherously low fuel levels close to lunar landing: 'I thought that if we ran out of fuel ten or twenty feet or so from touchdown, I could just drift down. The manuals said NO. But I thought the low gravity would let the landing-gear spring take it up.' [Or some such language.] Then he said [again paraphrasing]: 'We went there to land. That was what we were going to do.'

And of course Kirk and Spock and Scotty never hesitated to hurl whatever craft they were piloting entirely past all its design limits, if that was the only path to survival. SLING IT AROUND THE SUN AT TOP WARP TO GRAVITATIONALLY ACCELERATE US PAST WARP 10 [ASSUMING THE SPACEFRAME HOLDS!] AND BACK INTO THE 20TH CENTURY, TO BRING US SOME WHALES BACK...! ...Scotty: 'Captain, there be whales here!'

'Missile approaching! Commence evasive action!'

Thank you, beyond saying.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive The Next Generation onwards [edit] Only three stories in the original Star Trek series involved the Enterprise traveling beyond Warp 10 ( Warp 11, briefly, as a result of Nomad's "correction of inefficiencies" in the antimatter control system in "The Changeling"; Warp 11 again in "By Any Other Name" after the Kelvans modify the Enterprise's engines for greater sustained speed to make the trip from the Milky Way Galaxy to the Andromeda Galaxy; and Warp 14.1 in "That Which Survives" after the ship was put through a Kalandan transporter, beamed parsecs away from where it had been, and reassembled slightly out of phase). In The Next Generation, such stories were rare, and usually involved a malfunction in (or alien interference with) a starship's engines. A new warp scale was drawn up, with Warp Factor 10 set as an unattainable maximum (according to the new scale, reaching or exceeding Warp 10 required an infinite amount of energy). This is described in some technical manuals as "Eugene's limit", in homage to creator/producer Gene Roddenberry. Warp 8 in the original series was the "Never Exceed" speed for the hulls and engines of Constitution-class starships, equivalent to the aircraft VNE V-speed. Warp 6 was the VNO "Normal Operation" maximum safe cruising speed for that vessel class.[4] The Warp 14.1 incident was the result of runaway engines which brought the hull within seconds of structural failure before power was disengaged.[5] The limit of 10 did not entirely stop warp inflation. By the mid-24th century, the Enterprise-D could travel at Warp 9.8 at "extreme risk", while normal maximum operating speed was Warp 9.6 and the maximum rated cruise was Warp 9.2. According to the Deep Space Nine Tech Manual, during the Dominion War, Galaxy-class starships were refitted with newer technology including modifications which increased their maximum speed to Warp 9.9. In the episode "Where No One Has Gone Before" the Enterprise-D was shown to exceed Warp 10, traveling 2.7 million light-years from their home galaxy in a matter of minutes (though the ship's extreme velocity was due to the influence of an alien being and could not be achieved by starship engines). The Intrepid-class starship Voyager has a maximum sustainable cruising speed of Warp 9.975; the Enterprise-E can reach a maximum velocity of Warp 9.999[citation needed]. In the alternative future depicted in "All Good Things...", the series finale of The Next Generation, the "future" Enterprise-D travels at Warp 13, although it is never established whether this is truly "above" Warp 10, or simply the result of another reconfiguration of the warp scale.
