That genuinely does sound like a lot of fun.

Tell them that the south has renounced the pope. That’ll do it without further complications.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

The company is impressive technically, I guess? I don’t know really. Like I wrote before, Shotwell is running it, not Mr ego personified, so maybe the shine hasn’t worn off like it did for Tesla and Twitter for some people?

I like what they’ve achieved, I think that it will motivate for ULA and Boeing to ‘do better’ and they’ve proved its possible to succeed at a number of rocket technologies that had been previously written off, like cost effective reusability and full flow staged combustion.

That said, I’m not going to be upset if ULA pulls ahead of them, or if Rocket Lab has a huge win, or if ArianeSpace decides that it’s time to stop sitting on their hands. I’m a fan of space technology, and I don’t particularly care which company advances the cause.

*Edit: motivate not moticate

What’s that got to do with anything? SpaceX isn’t traded and doesn’t pay dividends.

Not the greatest example, imo.

SpaceX has been very consistent in delivering on its government contracts with far more cost efficiency than any of its competitors.

The most glaring example is the Commercial Crew Program. They were given far less money than Boeing, and it looks like they might end up being the sole US provider of commercial crew to the ISS.

Starship HLS (moon lander starship) is government funded, but core Starship is not, it’s financed with private equity - so the rocket explosions haven’t been on the taxpayers’ dime.

That all said, Elon doesn’t really run SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell does - which is probably the smartest business decision Elon has ever made.

My Father had a ‘car phone’ from 1990-1999ish and then switched to a nokia 3210 or similar. While he had the ‘car phone’, he kept a phone book in the car. By the time of the Nokia, his outbound calling was predictable enough that he either had it saved on the phone or he used ‘411’ to have an operator look up the number.

How obvious is it that it’s a bot?

Thank you for the additional information and effort in sharing this. This is really well written - informative, easy to read, and enjoyable.

The war reparations that France demanded of Germany post WW1 contributed to creating an economic environment where the rise of a ‘National Socialist’ party seemed like a good idea to the average German. IIRC, America and Britain tried to get France to be more reasonable and France basically said “I’ll keep whipping until they stop crying” The Dawes plan helped provide European stability at the end of the 20s, but the crushing debt was used by Hitler as a tool in his rise to power.

Reminds me of an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, Game of Kings.

I have not doctored this in any way. This is direct from a screenshot of the YouTube app.

Nor the letter

You can use version numbers, but it’s on you to change them when new point releases drop.

I guess it’s a good thing the Debian releases all have version numbers then.

Correct answer. You can see the ground fractured around the pole.

What did you do to them?!

I un-licenced the Emily games from my steam library. The writing felt… arrogant? Like, it didn’t matter what you chose you were wrong.

I know what consent is, I don’t need a videogame to do things without mine and then rub it in my face.
