I’ve always wondered whether you could drink slowly enough, and eliminate fast enough, that you just sort of peed continuously. But I’m afraid to try because I worry someone might call while I’m doing it and ask what I’m up to, and I won’t be able to think of a lie.

I remember smoking on international flights around ‘98 or so, just before they banned it. I’ve long since quit, but it’s wild to think that was once a thing.

WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday ordered a push to ​build a powerful quantum computer for scientific research and speed efforts to protect government ‌systems from related cyber threats, bolstering U.S. efforts in its race with China for a technology that could upend science and cybersecurity.

“We believe this can happen by 2028,” Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office ​of Science and Technology Policy, said in a call previewing the moves and referring ​to the quantum computer.

Trump signed two executive orders, one of which seeks ⁠to protect government computers against quantum computer-fueled cyberattacks by setting a goal of migrating key government ​computing systems to post-quantum cryptography by 2030 or 2031.

Quantum computers use the laws of quantum physics ​to process information in ways that can solve certain complex problems far faster than even today’s supercomputers. They could unscramble the encryption that protects computers from hacking, raising fears of aggressive cyberattacks.

The orders underscore the importance ​the Trump administration places on securing U.S. leadership in the quantum race against China - which could fuel ​advances in artificial intelligence, materials science and chemistry - while also protecting against the cybersecurity threats posed by the ‌technology.

The ⁠order also calls for the Pentagon to deploy quantum sensors by 2028. Such sensors can help aircraft navigate in war zones where global positioning systems have been disrupted and, when put in satellites, could also be used to detect underground activity such as the construction of tunnels or ​missile silos from space.

“There’s ​lots of interesting things ⁠quantum sensing can bring before quantum computing," said Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion , who attended the signing of the order in the Oval Office. "It’s ​possible to meet these types of timelines.”

Last month, the Commerce Department announced ​it would take $2 ⁠billion in equity stakes across nine quantum-computing companies, including a new IBM (IBM.N), opens new tab venture.

One of the orders also aims to strengthen international cooperation on intellectual property protections and supply chain security measures “in light of ⁠competitors ​and adversaries looking to undermine U.S. economic and national security,” ​Kratsios said.

Another measure included in the package instructs agencies to develop plans for deploying quantum-enabled sensors and networks in the ​next five years.

Technically, the reply is later

That’s probably because the artist is likely to be right handed and so oriented everything to the right hand side of the comic. If they’d oriented everything the right hand side of the characters, that would mean placing everything on the left of the comic, which might’ve felt wrong to the artist.

He also laughed at the iPhone, then years later, the windows phone devices bit the big one. He wasn’t very prescient, it seems.

His spraining his ankle in that will always be funny.

I showed the manager my nuts, they said it was impossible. So I put ‘em back on the bolts and left. Screw those guys.

I’ll take it, I’m pretty sure it can be rigged into a human-portable focused death ray.

Despite all my ham, I am still just a rat in a jam.

It’s okay to be gay.

You could easily flip the meme by coloring the roller red, keep the gayroller name (or use prideroller, maybe), and swap out the values text
