As someone who has fought war...

You're not right. You're not even wrong.

Get back to me after you've at least done PLDC or BNOC.

The criticism I've heard came from flag officers making statements like "It can't run, can't climb, and can't fight"...

For example, my nuclear launch failsafe, is an example of a human failsafe, that works 100% of the time, unless both humans agree to the launch.

And yes, human supervision can, and should be, the final fail safe for any critical system.

And yes, human failsafes work, when properly designed, and implemented. That's what "fail safe" means. ie, a PBR reactor is "fail safe" by design, as if anything happens, the pebble pile collapses, and criticality cannot be maintained, without a human intervening. No human, no criticality.

And there were very few, if any human fail safes in the Chernobyl incident, which is a huge reason it failed. And the reactor was not designed to fail safe. Modern reactors are designed to fail safe. Which means they cannot maintain criticality without human intervention.

Something tells me you're not very up on engineering principles, because fail safes, including human ones, are used all the time. Like bridges that raise and lower, for example. The bridge CAN NOT rise unless someone is there, holding the button. And it will start a safe descent if the human releases the button. It fails in a safe manner, without human intervention.

No, not at all. You are missing the point, I think. Human failsafes do work. They are even easier to make and more effective if you remove capitalism from the equation, though.

So, you have done a trial of one, fir a few hrs, with no testing.

Other human failsafe have been repeatedly tested, thousands of times over, over decades.

Hell, the simple Deadman switch is a human failsafe: hold this latch, otherwise machine stops....

Luigi didn't commit murder. It was community self defense.

But I was told by someone here on lemmy that there wasn't possibly time to lay charges, since we only learned about last month!!

Well, it hasn't failed yet...

With PBR reactors, nobody is in danger if it breaks down, either. The pebble bed collapses, and fission stops.

but even if Biden replaced him with the most aggressive and seasoned prosecutor on Earth today, how the absolute fucking fuck would you expect them to try this case in 28 days?

We've known about Gaetz' child sex trafficking ring for about 18 months now.
