Donald Trump on his son Barron: “He can look at a computer... I turn off his laptop, I said, ‘Oh good,’ and I go back about five minutes later, he’s got his laptop, I say, ‘How do you do that?’.. He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology."

Trump Boasts That His Son Barron Can Turn on a Laptop Even When It Is Completely Turned Off

given that weird anecdote about the laptop, it seems that Trump is either trying to save face on behalf of his kid who, like most college freshmen, doesn't have their whole life mapped out yet — or that he really is astounded by someone being able to turn on a computer.

ROBERT Picard: The gallant Captain out of control. Mind if I ask you a question? What the devil happened to you up there?
Jean-Luc PICARD: Is this brotherly concern?
ROBERT: No. Curiosity. What did they do to you?
PICARD: You know what happened.
ROBERT: Not precisely. I gather you were hurt. Humiliated. I always thought you needed a little humiliation. Or was it humility? Either would do.

ROBERT: Why do you walk away? That isn't your style.
PICARD: I'm tired of fighting with you, Robert.
ROBERT: Tired?
PICARD: That's right.
ROBERT: Yes. Tired of the Enterprise too? The great Captain Picard of Starfleet falls to Earth, ready to plunge into the water with Louis. That isn't the brother that I remember. Still, I suppose it must have seemed like the ideal situation, hmm? Local boy makes good. Returns home after twenty years to a hero's welcome.
PICARD: I'm not a hero.
ROBERT: Of course you are. Admit it. You'd never settle for less than that and you never will.
PICARD: That's not true.
ROBERT: Cancel the parade? In your favour?
PICARD: No! I never sought that rubbish.
ROBERT: Never sought? Never sought president of the school, valedictorian, athletic hero with your arms raised in victory?
PICARD: Valedictorian? Arms raised in victory? Were you so jealous?
ROBERT: Yes, damn it. I was always so jealous, I had a right to be.
PICARD: Right?
ROBERT: I was always your brother, watching you receive the cheers, watching you break every rule our father made and get away with it.
PICARD: Why didn't you break a few rules?
ROBERT: Because I was the elder brother, the responsible one. It was my job to look after you.
PICARD: Look after me? You? You were a bully.
ROBERT: Sometimes. Maybe. Sometimes I even enjoyed bullying you.
PICARD: All right. Try it now.
ROBERT: Did you come back, Jean-Luc? Did you come back because you wanted me to look after you again?
PICARD: Damn you!

RIM-67 Standard
From Wikipedia
The RIM-67 Standard ER (SM-1ER/SM-2ER) is an extended range surface-to-air missile (SAM) with a secondary anti-ship capability, originally developed for the United States Navy (USN). The RIM-67 was developed as a replacement for the RIM-8 Talos, a 1950s system deployed on a variety of USN ships, and eventually replaced the RIM-2 Terrier as well, since it was of a similar size and fitted existing Terrier launchers and magazines.
The second generation of Standard missile, the Standard Missile 2, was developed for the Aegis Combat System, and the New Threat Upgrade (NTU) program that was planned for existing Terrier and Tartar ships. The destroyer USS Mahan served as the test platform for the development of the CG/SM-2 (ER) missile program project. The principal change over the Standard missile 1 is the introduction of inertial guidance for each phase of the missile's flight except the terminal phase where semi-active homing was retained. This design change was made so that missiles could time share illumination radars and enable equipped ships to defend against saturation missile attacks.
Terrier ships reequipped as part of the New Threat Upgrade were refit to operate the RIM-67B (SM-2ER Block II) missile. However, Aegis ships were not equipped with launchers that had space enough for the longer RIM-67B.
The RIM-156A Standard SM-2ER Block IV with the Mk 72 booster was developed to compensate for the lack of a long range SAM for the Ticonderoga class of Aegis cruisers. The Mk72 booster allows the RIM-156A to fit into the Mark 41 Vertical Launching System. This configuration can also be used for Terminal phase Ballistic Missile Defense.
There was a plan to build a nuclear armed standard missile mounting a W81 nuclear warhead as a replacement for the earlier Nuclear Terrier missile (RIM-2D).
Deployment RIM-67 Standard was deployed on ships of the following classes, replacing the RIM-2 Terrier, and it never was VLS-capable. All of the ships used the AN/SPG-55 for guidance. The Mk10 guided missile launching system was used as the launching system. New Threat Upgrade equipped vessels operated the RIM-67B which used inertial guidance for every phase of the intercept except for the terminal phase where the AN/SPG-55 radar illuminates the target.
The RIM-156 Standard Block IV, is a version that has been developed for the Aegis Combat System it has a smaller compact sized booster stage for firing from the Mk41 Vertical Launching System. Like the earlier RIM-67B it employs inertial/command guidance with terminal semi-active homing.

From Wikipedia
The RIM-67 Standard ER (SM-1ER/SM-2ER) is an extended range surface-to-air missile (SAM) with a secondary anti-ship capability, originally developed for the United States Navy (USN).
Existing ships with the Mk86 guided missile fire control system, or "Terrier" were adapted to employ the new missile in place of the older RIM-2 Terrier missile. Ships that switched from the RIM-2 Terrier to the RIM-67A were still referred to as Terrier ships even though they were equipped with the newer missile.

he would've unhooked the connector wire from the voltmeter, made sure the tray was touching the radiator, then wrapped the exposed parts of the wire around the arm.
As long as the TV was turned on, all he had to do was flip the switch by the door.

Pushed him beyond human endurance.
Straight A's.
Not just a career, but the most challenging one possible.
That's the way he would've expected his deformed offspring to earn stingy little scraps of love.
Walter, Charles Preston had Sturge-Weber.
He never would've been able to go to school. Or have a career.
His mind would've been as imperfect as his body.
Don't lecture me. I'm the one who told you about Sturge-Weber.
You also told me you decided not to go into pediatrics because your father didn't think it was challenging enough.
What is this? Part of tomorrow's presentation? An in-depth analysis of Walter Sarsfield Ross?
Hasn't been easy for you, has it?
You're damn right it hasn't been easy. Not with the ignorance, the condescending attitudes, the insensitivity of people like you.
Walter, is it society you're really mad at? Or your father?

Now, if there are any other slanderous implications, I'm prepared to press charges against Doctor Ross and every one of his superiors in the Coroner's Office!
That won't be necessary, Your Honor. Every question I wanted to ask has been asked.
You look awful serious.
Quincy: You know, Walter, the first time you came to work here I marveled at your professionalism. And every case you worked on after that only confirmed my opinion. Until today.

He's not capable of such a thing.
I don't understand that.
The press is playing this case up big already.
Prominent industrialist, political influence, accident,
The inquest is going to add fuel to that fire.
I think with Walter's thoroughness, is going to vindicate Jerry.
Do you think Doctor Ross can handle himself in an inquest of this importance?
Of course. He did lots of them in Baltimore. Besides, I don't think you have much of a choice.

(Doctor Ross and Mr. Preston: )
Mr. Preston, you're a senior partner in the industrial firm of Wakefield, Warner and Harmon, is that correct?
Yes.
how is it that you were at home instead of at the office?
I left work early. I was concerned over the tests that would confirm how sick Charles really was.
Then why didn't you accompany your wife when she went to see Doctor Meade?
I don't know. I needed to be alone, I guess.
How did you spend your time waiting for your wife's return?
I was restoring an old 1950 model television set. I was replacing some of the worn wires and most of the tubes. It's my hobby. Restoring old electronic equipment. It helps me relax.
I see. Well, don't you think your wife might've liked to take her mind off things, too?

Objection, Your Honor.
This isn't a formal court of law, Mr. Wakefield.
It's all right, Ben.
No, it not all right. It's a prejudicial question.
I want to answer it.
You're suggesting that I acted selfishly or cowardly by letting my wife face Doctor Meade alone. Well, maybe you're right. You see, it was quite a shock learning my Charley was going to become... That he would be...
Be? Be what, Mr. Preston? Deformed? Unable to walk upright like a so-called normal human being?
Doctor Ross?
Please. I see no reason for you to...
I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Mr. Preston, you say you think you flipped the wall switch. How is it that you're not sure?
I am sure. It was off.
But a few minutes ago you didn't seem that positive. Why is that?
I just told you, the wall switch was off. That's all there is to it.
What are we to believe, Mr. Preston? One minute you're not certain, the next minute you are. I don't know how we can put any credence in what you say. Whether or not that switch was on or off meant the difference
