Also on USAJOBS they tend to put up postings just because they’re legally required to do so before filling the position, even if they have someone already in mind within the agency.
The things they’re asking for on that listing are very unlikely to be from someone not already in NASA – who on earth has experience at GS-15 that needs to hear about this job through fucking newsweek
Actually knew someone who worked in that area at NASA in Houston. He told me that if I came down that he could get me on the Space Shuttle simulator! About three years later I was heading to Houston and called him up. Guess what? He was in California on a NASA assignment!
Dammmmmmmit!!
How about those Flat Earthers eh? In case you didn’t know, this is a thing, people are popping up all over, claiming the earth is flat, and that its a conspiracy…Nasa and the Government’s have been lying, I kid you not, I’ve watched many a youtube video where they lay out their proof, its hard to watch, its even harder to reason with them…
You can’t fix stupid.
Please, it’s a thing only because kids find it funny online.
I wish it was just children…

I’ve read about that vantablack, crazy stuff
TL;DR: In a case of insanity a Minnesota State University professor thinks god raped the virgin mary. Wat? And yes, it exists. Much to my chagrin.
A psychology professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato is taking heat from conservative TV talk show host Tucker Carlson for tweeting that God is guilty of a #MeToo violation for the Virgin Mary’s pregnancy.
Eric Sprankle, who specializes in sexuality studies, angered Carlson and guest commentator Mark Steyn Thursday on Carlson’s Fox News show with his tweet from earlier in the week: “The virgin birth story is about an all-knowing, all-powerful deity impregnating a human teen. There is no definition of consent that would include that scenario. Happy Holidays.”
In response to a critical tweet, Sprankle responded with a tweet saying that “the biblical god regularly punished disobedience. The power difference (deity vs mortal) and the potential for violence for saying ‘no’ negates her ‘yes.’ To put someone in this position is an unethical abuse of power at best and grossly predatory at worst.”
On Carlson’s show. Steyn expressed his displeasure with what Sprankle wrote.
“Fifty years ago, this kind of shallow banality would be something in the province of a drunk undergraduate at three in the morning,” he said.
Sprankle didn’t return e-mails or telephone calls Friday seeking comment. The university issued the following statement:
“As a public institution of higher education, Minnesota State University, Mankato respects the rights and privileges associated with the U.S. Constitution, including in this case the First Amendment right of freedom of speech and religion.”
A spokesman said the university wasn’t aware of parents or donors who may have contacted the school about Sprankle’s tweets. He added that the school had received a handful of complaints.
In addition to being a college professor, Sprankle also is a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist. He leads the university’s Sexual Health Research Team, which examines sex work stigma, the effects of sexually explicit material and older adult sexuality.
On his Twitter bio, he said he reads Edgar Allan Poe and advocates for sex workers’ rights. The bio also includes the words “Ave Satanas,” Latin for “Hail Satan.”
Sprankle has nearly 17,000 followers on Twitter. A few posted critical tweets this week: “This idiot clearly is an atheist! Has no clue of scripture. Just spewing hate & lies!” said one. Another read, “Eric Sprankle the professor who thinks God is a sex predator? We should not want to see anyone go to hell and we all only have a limited time in this world. So with any luck God will work on him and lead him to Jesus Christ.”
Sprankle’s tweet was discussed only briefly on Carlson’s show, but Steyn got his point across.
“The idea that God has got the Virgin Mary back to his pad, and she’s saying ‘I really must go,’ and he’s saying ‘Baby, it’s cold outside’ … I miss the days when atheists were at least intelligent enough to take seriously what they were purporting to knock down,” he said.

EDIT:
They’ve rolled out a temporary hotfix, however they’ve deployed it via the studies system, so you’ll have to have that feature turned on to receive it (Firefox Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to install and run studies.) You can switch it off again after your Add-ons have been re-enabled.
Alternatively, you can download the hotfix directly from here:

EDIT 2:
From https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/ :
A Firefox release is being pushed — version 66.0.4 on Desktop and Android, and version 60.6.2 for ESR. This release repairs the certificate chain to re-enable web extensions, themes, search engines, and language packs that had been disabled (Bug 1549061). There are remaining issues that we are actively working to resolve, but we wanted to get this fix out before Monday to lessen the impact of disabled add-ons before the start of the week. More information about the remaining issues can be found by clicking on the links to the release notes above. (May 5, 13:22 EDT)
The new release doesn’t appear to have rolled out just yet at the time of posting, but the desktop version is already available at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/66.0.4/.
Leave it to idiots to give you some form of entertainment. This is too ridiculous to not laugh at.
TL;DR: Feminist mobs an airport because men’s bathrooms all over the airport has a shorter line to it…
The official Twitter account for Switzerland’s Zurich Airport replied Friday morning to a woman complaining about lengthy wait times at women’s restrooms by suggesting she take her grievances up with Mother Nature.
A Twitter user going by the name Laura Roldan posted two photographs showing long lines at the bathrooms in the terminal. When, she asked in an accompanying caption, was “the airport going to solve the problem with the ladies toilets?”
Zurich suggested Roldan try one of the “many toilets all over the gate.” When Roldan continued to press her case, the airport delivered a more blunt response:
The airport’s response sparked a flurry of rebukes from feminists on Twitter, who jumped in to defend Roldan and chastise Zurich.

“If there was ‘enough space’ there wouldn’t be queues, how is that not obvious? There is enough space for men, there is not enough space for women,” tweeted columnist Tracy King.
“Women need 2.5 x the provision that men need,” wrote Clare James, a British high school math teacher.
BBC World Service broadcaster Jackie Leonard was appalled.
“Clearly not. Wow. What a response!” she tweeted.
“Of course you can influence it by providing correct number of toilets based on the needs of each sex. Had never thought about male privilege extending to almost never queuing for a piss but here we are in 21c with men’s time & comfort more valued than women’s,” one commenter said.
The airport answered the avalanche of criticism by apologizing and conceding that the issue “urgently requires action.”
“This is a problem which exists in all public areas and which urgently requires action. We have informed the department responsible for building planning. We would like to sincerely apologize to all women who had to wait in front of one of our toilets. We hear your problem,” Zurich said in a tweeted reply to a user.
Zurich airport and “Invisible Women”
Several critics, including Roldan, referenced “Invisible Women,” a book by British feminist activist and author Caroline Criado Perez.
In it, Criado Perez compiled a plethora of statistics intended to prove her thesis: despite the appearance of progress on the women’s rights front, modern society is still very much a “man’s world” because “those who built it didn’t take gender differences into account.”
In a review for The Guardian published in February, English cultural critic Eliane Glaser prasied “Invisible Women” for using data to shed light on “the hidden places where inequality still resides.”

Offices are on average five degrees too cold for women because the formula to determine their temperature was developed “based on the metabolic resting rate of a 40-year-old” man. Smartphones, at an average size of 5.5 inches, are “too big for most women’s hands” and don’t fit in their pockets. Virtual reality headsets are more likely to make women feel sick.
“Even snow-ploughing, it turns out, is a feminist issue,” Glaser said of Perez’s book, referencing a study that showed how in one Swedish town, 70 percent of pedestrians injured in icy conditions are women.

Meanwhile, critics of feminism argue that the movement focuses too much energy on policing microaggressions and perceived slights. They accuse feminists of being out of touch with the concerns of the broader culture.
Sounds like a perfectly valid complaint.
