Remember that the Republican senate made up the rules as it went along too, e.g. having a majority vote instead of full hearings ...

Harry Reid has entered the chat.

Both sides are just as power hungry and devoid of morals and ethics as the other. They both forget that the way they screw over the other side in their race to the bottom will be used against them when the pendulum swings the other way.

Australian here, single parent to a Year 0 student (called "prep" here, kindergarten for you yanks).
Thank god the kids have gone back.
The online learning was trash, basically babysitting with an iPad and zero social interaction.
For the weeks I had my son I ended up having to burn annual leave so I could spend the time ignoring the "curriculum" and to teach him properly little things like phonics, reading, writing and arithmetic (with game / puzzle based learning), so in the end he came out ahead.
For the weeks I didn't have him he was bundled into a hall at the school (his other parent was an "essential worker"), handed an iPad with no supervision and left to his own devices.

I do feel for other parents in my situation who didn't have the time and resources I had, it was a fuster cluck.

Comment No G constraints, should fly like a UFO. (Score 1) 157

Without the G constraints of the "meat in the seat" you'd expect within visual range the drone would win most of the time for a classic "dogfight".
Beyond visual range it should be decent too if it is good at detecting and avoiding incoming missiles (which, again, without G constraints it should do reasonably good at if the AI is trained well enough and has good situational awareness)
All comes down to how good the AI is and it's sensor suite / integration, and if it can be "unpredictable" enough for a human adversary.

Single dad of a Grade Prep student (kindergarten for you Americans) who thankfully has restarted school today.
Basically was next to impossible to perform technical work and home school an active 6 year old, ended up having meetings during business hours and doing everything else from 9pm to 1am...
For me there was absolutely no respite.
