James Doohan (Scotty from original Star Trek) had an honorary Engineering degree, which sounds like the usual ho-hum sort of celebrity thing until you hear about how the idea actually came about. It's kind of sweet. Apparently the university did a survey of engineering students, asking what their influences were. Some staggeringly high percentage of engineering students listed "Mr. Scott from Star Trek" as a huge reason they got into engineering, and the U figured that since they apparently had the guy to thank for all these people enrolling, the least they could do is award him an honorary degree in return.

Looks like he had five, but now two have been revoked. Lehigh University awarded him an honorary doctorate of laws in 1988 and is revoking it in 2018 Wagner College awarded an honorary doctorate of humane letters in 2004 Liberty University awarded a doctorate of business in 2012 and a doctorate in laws in 2017 Robert Gordon University of Scotland awarded him one in 2010 then revoked it when he said poo poo about banning muslims in 2015 Edit: To expand a bit on the lingerers: Wagner College is a private liberal arts college that seems to have a decent reputation as far as my google-fu is concerned, and Liberty University is Jerry Falwell's diploma mill. Isn't that the school where the school's brownshirts wander town and make sure you aren't drinking or watching PG-13 movies? Slim Pickens fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Feb 28, 2018 |

It's kind of sweet. That owns super hard. While I never gave enough of a gently caress scholastically to get into an engineering program, Scotty was still a huge reason I've always been into technical stuff.

Scotty owns and James Doohan got hit 6 loving times from a Bren gun on D-Day and came out missing a finger so he couldn't use it to flip off Shatner He also literally saved a fan's life. She sent him a fan letter saying that she was going to commit suicide, and he wrote back making her promise to show up at the next convention. She did, and they spoke and he gave her a bunch of encouragement and he asked her the same thing, to show up at the next convention. This went on for several years and the woman ended up getting her master's degree in electronics engineering. MA-Horus fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Feb 28, 2018 |

NBC News in 2103 posted:A national sporting goods company that suspended sales of assault rifles after the Newtown, Conn., shooting that cost 26 lives is now selling the type of gun the shooter used via a new and separate chain of specialty stores.

I would assume that training would pay standard rates but this is Florida so I dunno how it works there Hot Karl Marx fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Feb 28, 2018 |

Meanwhile in Georgia, the state assembly voted to cut off Delta's tax incentives over Delta discontinuing the NRA discount. Which is hilarious because it's a total cut your nose to spite your face move that I'm sure they didn't completely think through. You're either going to see Delta start pouring money into state races to get that incentive back next session, or other states smelling blood, will begin to offer Delta those incentives and then some if they move operations to their state. Virginia's governor already made an "offer". https://twitter.com/GovernorVA/status/968510566267531266 Oh and they were on the shortlist for Amazon's new headquarters. Pretty sure they can say goodbye to that too. Considering you're getting headlines like this now, https://twitter.com/cnntech/status/968645675461283840

I don’t think a major international airline is able to just say “welp time to move our main hub” just like that. Enjoy subsidizing that as a taxpayer.
