I got lucky at a conference. They got us a VIP tour of the Boeing Everett factory, which walked on the assembly floor. It was a phenomenal experience. The sheer scale of the operation, the size of the planes, and the detail work was astounding.

I did.
I was there 5 months before heading back to grad school.
I had one interview where they literally got me to fix their Sendmail server while I was there.
If you're a professor with a doctorate in Germany, the official way to refer to you is Professor Doctor [last name]. If you hold two doctorates it's Professor Doctor Doctor.
Professor is also a serious and registered title in Germany. You can't just start a school and start handing out professorships without oversight and approval.
I'm in the "be prepared" group where we usually have a couple weeks of food and water around. We also have two forms of heat for when the power goes out.
Will we survive WW3 on this? No, but it has been very helpful after big winter storms that took out the city power.
Having some supplies to use in the short term is good for everyone. Being ready to go out to help neighbors and get the community back on its feet is how we get through to the next good times.
For a loose definition of "me" and more "my parents when I was young" was a mid-70's Fiat. I have lots of memories where we waited in some parking lot or by the freeway for a tow truck or some other help to arrive.
Run as a right winger, especially an outright neo Nazi, in any EU or US country and they'll ship a briefcase of cash to your door.
In LaTeX, a single hyphen is just - while getting a range hyphen (the longer one) is --. I got chewed out by my graduate advisor for getting that wrong in a research paper. The difference is visibly small, but it does matter for clarity.
Moscow, ID is fighting to keep the city public while local cults try to buy everything up.
Churches with no tax burden have huge advantages when they start commercial enterprises and then use tax free money to help their parishioners start/buy business after business with cheap loans and local support. Eventually the town is owned (directory or by proxy) by the church/cult. Then they take over city council and it's a religious city by proxy.
Fun times for everyone else who are then abused by the cult for still living in the city and now joining their org.
It's only illegal if someone enforces the law, a judge holds a trial, and an actual punishment is meted out.
Given how little taste our justice system has for holding rich people accountable, it starts to get fuzzy around what is illegal or not. As President GW Bush said: "The Constitution is just a piece of paper." While he's wrong about the material, he was correct that unless people believe in the ideals and rules laid down by the Constitution, then actually build a nation who follows and enforces their ideals, the Condition just sits there as a pile of material.
There's tiny bits of real city around the US. It's usually leftover fragments that managed to survive through the carpocalypse of the 30' to today.
There are very few real city places larger than a 1/4 sq mile here.

They had to change their venting and airflow system for that building after it formed a cloud and rained inside. When your room can have weather systems, I feel you've entered a whole new category of 'room' by definition.
