Don't need a primer from an absolute retard like you, putz. I was in the Navy. I know all about station keeping. Far more than a goddamned retarded piece of shit like you does.

You are a goddamned child. It is easy to see why you are not employable.

?? For Apollo afficionados, here is a video of Von Braun's early rocket design by trial and error, finally culminating in the moon landings that changed history:

A companion video by Scott Manley discusses the difficulty of designing heat shields to protect the crew during re-entry from the moon:

"Heat Shields - Things Kerbal Space Program Doesn't Teach"

Scott is a physicist with a passion for rockets and nuclear weapons. He has a number of related videos that are interesting and informative.

You are a goddamned retard. The same as ever. You have not changed.

You are just as retarded now as when you argued with John Fields about the 555 timer. You were seen as utterly retarded then, and my mistake was to ever think you might possess a modicum of intelligence. You prove with nearly every post that you do not.

That has to be the most stupid excuse for being shitcanned ever.

"Got made redundant"

Priceless, because you sure are that. Redundantly stupid.

My only surprise is that you see Trump and his followers correctly.

So I have to give you... one point.

The product worked, but marketing thought that we couldn't sell enough to make a profit out of it. Almost all the development team got let go.

I was offered an out, but didn't take it.

The stupidity is all yours. "Made redundant" is a specific situation under English employment law. You get a big fat redundancy payment because it wasn't your fault that your employers decided that they couldn't afford to keep on exploiting you.

Not an endorsement that I'd be likely to boast about.

And the closet Marxist shows his true colours once again. JL dodged a huge bullet in not hiring you.

"When constituencies are small their elected representatives must concern themselves with the local interests of their constituents. When political representatives are distant and faceless, on the other hand, and represent vast numbers of unknown constituents, they represent not their constituents, but special interest groups whose lobbyists are numerous and ever present. Typically in Europe a technocrat is an ex-politician or a civil servant. He is unelected, virtually impossible to dislodge during his term of employment and has been granted extensive executive and even legislative power without popular mandate and without being directly answerable to the people whose interests he falsely purports to represent."

Just make sure he (or she) is in the window seat

He (or she) reminds me of another Desiccated Loser that I knew in Alaska. J ust as stupid. He would spend his month's Army pay on beer and whiskey, in under two weeks. Then he would beg, try to borrow, or threaten to beat peop le up when he ran out of money. He was constantly bitching that he wasn't t reated right, because he 'was Black'.

He was still an E4, at 6 years. I was a SP4 at 18 months. The same pay grad e, but the Specialist gave you the authority of an E6. Anyway, he staggered into my private room in the barracks and demanded that I stop repairing so meone's stereo. He added that he was going to 'Bring me up on charges', whi ch he couldn't do. Then he demanded that I give him my soldering iron. I as ked, Do you really want this? Then I lunged at him with it. He jumped backw ards, and slammed his head into my wall locker. I had missed him by about a half inch. He was screaming that I had tried to kill him, as he staggered out of my room.

A half hour later the CQ {Someone assigned to replace the Captain during ev enings or weekends) walked in and asked, "Did you actually try to stab him with a soldering iron?" I said, "He was drunk. He wasn't invited in, and he had threatened me." He laughed and said, "If this ever happens again, I wi ll right you up!" I promised to buy a longer extension cord the next day. : )

fford to keep on exploiting you.

Resources get exploited. Not exploiting them means letting them go to waste .

Cursitor Doom sees Marxism in the use of the word, but I would have been ha ppy if they had seen their way to keep on exploiting my talents. In fact th ey did, but not in a role that I found all that attractive - I'd been a "st aff engineer" in other jobs, and hadn't much liked what I'd been stuck with doing.

Jim Thompson persuade John Larkin that he ought not to give me any sub-cont ract work. This was probably a bad choice on John Larkin's part, though he would probably have rather disliked being told that he was asking for the w rong solution to the wrong problem, which is the kind of answer I have been known to give from time to time.

John Larkin didn't dodge any bullet in avoiding that - he does seem to need to get that kind of advice from time to time, even if he doesn't like it.

Why Jim Thompson though that it was any of his business who John Larkin hir ed is a matter for speculation - he seemed to think that I was dangerously anti-American, which always was bizarre. I can understand why John Larkin f orwarded the e-mail to him - John Larkin's character defects get exhibited here often.

Gosh that's horrible. Thank God black people don't behave like that or play the race card nowadays.

Human resources get 'utilized', not 'exploited'. Companies get what they pay for and pay for what they get. When the two do not parse out, the element with 'resources' no longer worth utilizing gets shitcanned.

Not only are you no longer worth utilizing, the skillset you possesss is not up to snuff.

Do you know that colloquialism, Snuffy?

People who don't need non-stop sycophancy?

Michael Terrell thought highly of Jim Thompson, didn't think much of John McCain, and is endorsing a post from Cursitor Doom. It's fairly clear who the loon is here.

He went to the trouble of asking Jim Thomson's advice on the subject, which does point up his weakness of judgement.

Human resources are good at picking the right word and the wrong people.

That's getting fired. I was made redundant along with my supervisor and a bunch of perfectly competent more junior engineers.

The company had gone down from about 800 employees when I joined it nine years earlier to about 400 at that point, and what left of it now has 100 employees.

The management wasn't brilliant. Some of our products were.
