I honestly don’t consider starlink to be a SpaceX product.
I’d technically owned and operated by them because SpaceX owns starlink LLC, but they did it that way to boost their launch contracts for their one viable product: falcon 9 launches.
So since they wanted to split starlink off into its own company, that just so happens to rely 100% on SpaceX for all contracts, then I’ll give it to them. Starlink is its own company. Which means SpaceX still only has one product.
The worst part is we could definitely have a mars base with today’s technology.
It’s just not economically or scientifically necessary to set up. Robots can do 99% of what a human can on mars, scientifically speaking, and if they break we can just build another one. If someone dies on mars, it’s gonna global news for weeks.
And mars doesn’t exactly have a huge open pit of platinum or something we want to mine, so there’s no economic incentive to set up a colony.
Musk just wants to sell the sci-fi vaporware fantasy to shareholders because SpaceX has one viable product and he’s desperate for no one to notice that.
You are correct
But these chuckle fucks want to save money.
They don’t flood a whole room with nitrogen, they just use an oxygen mask that’s flowing a lot if nitrogen.
The person is still breathing in a lot of what they exhale, which makes it very painful for them
The fact that they didn’t scout the location at all just kills me.
Like someone went there ahead of time to setup the podium and speakers, for a White House press conference, and didn’t call their boss and say “are you sure I’m supposed to set this up at a landscaping company?”
I can be a little apathetic at my job, but I’ve never been that apathetic.
And then when they showed up, they could have redirected the reporters to like a nearby park or something, but they just stuck to it.
EV infrastructure would be better if it was actually standardized and regulated to be like gas stations.
Right now, we have legacy charging ports and the new, now standard, Tesla port. So you have to make sure the charger will even fit your car. And, because we live in the future, everything is enshitified. Different charging companies have different apps that you need to download to pay for charging, many chargers are down for maintenance, but even with the app, there’s no guarantee you’ll be warned about the charger being down.
Chargers should be like gas pumps. Put in a card, put the plug in your car, and then wait for it to charge. Every plug should fit every car. The system that sprang up without government intervention is clearly insufficient, and needs to be standardized from the ground up.
If you’re trying to sow doubt in the election process from the ground up, it’s a great place to start.
“Look Montana had an issue with absentee votes, where else do we have issues”
Becomes
“Montana had absentee voting issues, we can’t trust anything from absentee votes at all, they don’t count”
“Mistake”
“Whoopsie daisy, I forgot to add 1 of the 2 candidates to the voting system, I’m such a silly goose”
Some of y’all aren’t training your dogs on food aggression and anxiety and it shows.
Play with your dog’s food while it eats, don’t take it away, but move the bowl around and stick your fingers in the food. Get them used to you fucking with their food, and show them that nothing bad happens when their food gets touched. Especially if you have little kids or have little kids that come to your home with friends and family, your dog should be trained not to get anxious or aggressive about food. I’ve seen a lot of kids get scared by dogs because the dog is very defensive about food, but 5 minutes of training a day will knock that right out of them.
If you’re measuring how quickly they can burn through cash, then they are remarkably efficient at that.
Giving the man who runs every company he touches into the ground a spot on a government efficiency agency is peak conservative governance.
I distinctly remember that being a selling point of his first campaign.
He was advertised as a Washington outsider, who had no connections and would drain the swamp.
I work at a college.
Our facilities department went from being under staffed with 10 employees, to having only 3 because everyone retired.
I’m in the trades, so I thought about applying for part time with them as a way to get some extra cash. But even though I am qualified to train people in my trade, I am apparently unqualified to do the work they want. The only listings that have are for people with 15 years experience and engineering degrees.
To primarily change air filters, light fixtures, and swap electric motors.
What terrifies me is the number of elevators I’ve been in that haven’t been inspected since the pandemic started.
Elevator cables are a consumable, they wear down faster than one would think. And while elevators are fairly safe machines with redundant safeties, I’m worried we’re going to see a big uptick in accidents. And that’s just elevators, I don’t want to even think about all the other infrastructure that hasn’t been inspected in years that could fail at any time. Pumps, backflow preventers, bridges, and dozens of other things need regular inspection and maintenance.
My wife’s car lets you drive up to half a mile without the fob in the car.
As opening moves go, that was pretty bold.

The US had designs for similar weapons in the 50s.
And then we realized that if we could just level every city on the planet anyway, it doesn’t fucking matter if you have an infinite range, radiation spewing death machine.
But he can still borrow against the value of those shares.
That’s how these parasites afford all their private jets and other insane luxuries. They just pull out loans against the value of their stock holdings, pay accountants to make sure it’s never a problem, and essentially spend their money while keeping it too.
It’s insane, because they essentially never have to pay taxes on anything but their personal income, and then you have grifters like musk who don’t even take salaries and just live off the loans.
Unfortunately, erections probably don’t work that well in zero G, although NASA has been neglectful in testing this thoroughly.
The kind where science communicators have to account for the lowest common denominator of reader that may not have payed attention in high school when the teacher was talking about photons being the reason for light.
