This is another good article on the SCOTUS decision. “Test to destruction” is a perfectly valid and extremely useful design tool.  It’s funny, though.  Once engineers know what will destroy their product, they don’t procede to destroy each and every … Continue reading →

I can’t believe it…the Left was actually right about something!  The Supreme Court is indeed politicized and activist. And this is now a face I’d really like to punch: It’s theoretically possible that things might actually work out better this … Continue reading →
