Samuel Adams brews some world class grain beverages, some of the best I have ever tasted. Boston Lager is not one of them.
The one on the left, you should try. The one on the right, was the most incredible beer I have ever had the honor of tasting. You will never know that experience.

Tucker interviews controversial figures and asks intelligent questions of them.
He also has opinions, as do we all.
At least when he expresses his opinions, he does so in a succinct and intelligent manner, and backs them up with facts.
My opinion is that you could work on that aspect when you post on this Forum.

Yes, yes, and yes. Or perhaps I should say "y3 where y=yes."
I designed and created customized or "one-off" software applications for the aerospace and defense industry. I started my career by scripting computer code, mostly in FORTRAN (or Fortran.) Sometimes I created small, stand-alone computer programs. Sometimes I worked on parts of much larger computer programs that were the product of large teams of "coders." Often I was assigned the task of changing the code to fix a "bug" or accommodate a user request. I was titularized as a Software Developer or Software Engineer.
As the years went by and I moved voluntarily from one employer to another, my responsibilities shifted. Mostly, I developed software test procedures and executed the test procedures, having been retitularized as a Software Test and Quality Assurance Engineer.
In the last part of my career, I was an hourly contractor, whereas before, I had been a direct, salaried employee. My last "gig" was focused on the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense or THAAD missile system. I was an integrated systems test technician, executing test procedures that were mostly already given to me as scripts, although sometimes I modified the test procedures.
I was a "software facing" technician. The testing could involve using oscilloscopes and voltmeters and the like as test instruments—electronic systems testing—but that wasn't my thing. Although previously in my career, I had gained a small familiarity with radio signal test generators and test equipment... a different and smaller project, at another and smaller company.
I remember standing or being seated in front of a video terminal and using a keyboard to type in data, and then archiving the output as "files" of data, which I might examine myself. Sometimes I was a "dummy" THAAD system operator, doing what an actual THAAD crew member would be doing in a combat scenario to set up a missile launch.
Some of the testing took place inside a large SCIF or Secure Compartmented Information Facility which was large enough to contain, within an air-conditioned and roofed facility, an actual THAAD missile launch system. There was the large, desert "camo" or uniformly olive green painted truck that transported and launched the missiles, and at least one THAAD missile in a text fixture, next to the truck.
Before becoming an hourly contractor, I worked for four modestly sized companies and finally, the one very large corporation. I never worked directly for the government.
Reducing human greenhouse gas emissions... always a good decision!

Interesting career, thanks for sharing.
So you were trained in computer sciences, but not the natural sciences, i.e. chemistry, physics, geology, biology, astrophysics, climatology, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering.....
No wonder you put so much faith in the computer models that are predicated on greenhouse gas emissions.
Thanks for sharing.

I completed some undergraduate coursework in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and geology. The geology course included a more than just summary introduction to the modern or perhaps "neo" Darwinian Theory of (Biological) Evolution... as modern as it was, at the time.

I think that's an interesting idea. Maybe counseling people who want to extricate themself from the MAGA cult?

You have a knack for misunderstanding.
Is it hereditary, or is it because you like the path California has taken since the Democrats took it over?

To be honest about it, I don't keep up with California in a way that would be commensurate with the penetrating eye that I keep focused on "Washington." Washington, as in Washington, DC.
This is not very logical, considering my status as a California resident.
There's good and bad, in terms of what's going on in California. Governor Newsom is now having to react to a decline in the revenues that support the state's government. He is going to make up some of the shortfall by using the state's "rainy day" fund, which is money that was segregated for this purpose during previous years when there was a budget surplus.
In truth, I know more about what's going on halfway around the globe, in the Red Sea, than I know about what's going on just a few miles away by road in downtown San Jose.
I move in very small circles.

You really should pay more attention closer to home.
California used to be a desirable place to live until the Liberal Democrats took over.
Not to be political about it, but that's the history of your state....liberal Democrats have killed the goose that laid the golden egg
