NPR: "Why do we continue to celebrate the Wright Bros? Their aircraft's controls were so primitive, it didn't have any instruments on them for navigation and safe flight, it couldn't fly very high or fast, and worst of all, it used fossil fuels. Why do we continue to celebrate these white men that made such a flawed aircraft?"

If you don't think you're an oppressor then you probably are one ...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I’m oppressing a cigar and a wee dram at this point.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and my teenage daughters ... I oppress them
Other than that, if someone is being oppressed by me them they are doing it wrong

I saw that and it cracked me up. What kind of buffoon believes a lego set of the Capitol has anywhere near enough detail to plan anything?

Probably the same people that bought the Trump Russia collusion narrative and pedaled it for 4+ years. Good thing we don't have anyone like that around here...

True. I also don't think you can discount the possibility that the person who bought it also thought it might help with the planning. There are MENSA level geniuses with 6.93x our intelligence on both sides of this kerfluffle.

Good point, when I design infrastructure I definitely start with a LEGO mock up first before getting it into CAD.

Legos are the original Building Information Modeling tool. Where do you think John Walker and Dan Drake got their inspiration?
