... and had it not been for Feynman's scientific approach to the truth, I strongly suspect we would have been fed a huge amount of management 'cleansed' and redacted, thoroughly whitewashed garbage posing as an 'independent' report.

The "suit" mentality: when a problem occurs, the first thing to do is establish blame.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Yes he actually threatened to remove his name from the final report unless they left some of the more scathing comments in it - good man was Richard

On a more pleasant note, in 1988 Tetris showed up on this side of the pond.
On a happier note, yesterday was our 60th anniversary. I ate too much and fell asleep.

Has anyone had to totally change careers because of Covid?
I ask this because I had a painter and decorator paint my house and whilst chatting to him I was amazed to discover that this time last year he was an airline pilot but now he was doing this to make ends meet.
And just in case you’re wondering, he did a fantastic job on the landing.

The airline industry has its ups and downs.

Takeoff - optional.
Landing - mandatory.

There's an old adage in the world of flights which I extended (Italics):
A good landing is when you can walk away from it.
A great landing is when you can use the plane again.

You know that big fan on the front of the plane is just to cool the pilot, right?
Just watch him sweat if it stops.

Is that a real question, or just a setup for the joke?

Luckily I am not affected in this way. But I know a couple of cases and it is not nice.

Some years ago I had to take a job as a butcher. So for a while was able to easily make ends meat.

Yay!
I was going to say that I can't wait, but there is one teeny problem ... 2021-10-28
So I'll have to wait, won't I?
It's a pity Amazon are stopping after Season 6 as well. Just the one more to go.

I wonder how they'll do season 6 - skip the idea of a time jump? Or just cram books 7-9 into the season?

Gawd I hope not.
One of the things that makes the TV series so good is not cutting out half the books ...
Look at the mess they made of "Ender's Game" by "trimming" it to movie length. 
If they leave the later books, there is always a chance they will get picked up by another production company if Amazon aren't going to finish it.

I suppose it's the time jump, easy to do in text, not quite so easy on film. As people don't get to age the same also Amos's fate while cool and totally do-able will/might be missed...
