Sorry, it’s late. My gripe is that NASAs insistence on relying on the STS at the cost of other programs such as the DCX means that every launch after the DCX program was ended could’ve saved a lot of budget for not just NASA but for businesses that used launch facilities, for the Air Force, for any National recon…

BTW, I don’t mean to sound like a SpaceX fanboi. There are certain things about the Heavy I don’t like. But they chose to make those design choices and so far haven’t had to pay for them. Even Musk said, though, that it was 50/50 for the Heavy to fly successfully. And as many other posters have implied, the…

He got fired from Paypal and it was years after his exit before the company became what it is now. Meg Whitman is much more responsible for the success of Paypal then he is.

I’d take Bill Gates over Musk any day. That dude is literally eradicating diseases out of countries and making the world a better place.

“Elon Musk started an electric car company for rich people”.

No, no he did not. Unbelievable. He was never a founder. Tesla went to Elon when then needed money and he became a VC. That placed him on the Board of Directors - because all VCs get to have a seat. And then later they asked him to be CEO. Which he initially…

Hmmm, decades ago we had something called the Space Shuttle. It used rocket motors and landed on the ground too. It even used, gasp, computers! Go IBM AP-101s for the GPC data processing!

I’m with you. Like, I got a little case of the goosebumps watching. It’s pretty awe inspiring.

Yes, because the only reason men buy cars we don’t strictly need for basic transportation is to increase our dick size *rolls eyes*

I agree that the goal of an ambitious artist is to gain attention, but with most things there’s a right and a wrong way to do it. Her reasoning that he did cubism in order to “chop women’s outlines up and rearrange them in a more pleasing order” at best falls flat and at worst makes her sound ignorant about a…

I looked it up. I did not see Goya stand in front of another artist piece , paint himself into it , and then call it art. So basically taking a selfie in front of a piece of art; is now considered performace art?

So when there isn’t any evidence you are still not guilty?

So it appears the only way to keep Carroll Shelby from signing a Cobra glovebox is to hide the car from him.

I don’t particularly understand modern or performance art but I’m going to power through that and say this seems more like lazy self-promotion than an actual artistic statement. It feels like the attention is on Emma. Any other message that’s supposed to be there seems muddled, if it’s even present. Perhaps it’s just…

Finally, they absolutely CAN go solely on “say-so”. Generally that is the only evidence in college rape tribunals as you point out.

And THEN there was the porn video she put out once the media coverage had started to wane, allegedly depicting what she alleges happened to her.

Yes, and those complaints were all filed within days of each other after they “heard of each others experiences”. Crazy that they didn’t seem to consider these reportable offenses until then. The first complaint was related to “emotional abuse” from a former girlfriend and the fact that he had not explicitly asked for…

They actually did. They found him “not responsible” which is the “not guilty” of campus rape proceedings. She lied, multiple times to both Columbia and the media and was never made to account for it.

She was found to have lied about numerous things related to her claim.

If you go through all the facts it looks like she took advantage of title 9 to throw someone under the bus so her matress performance art stunt and thesis would gain more attention. That’s pretty fucking terrible, and what’s far more terrible is it looks like she got away with it, I don’t support abusers regardless of…

This chick would lose her mind if she had to sit alone in a studio, in front of a canvas/laptop/workbench for few months and just make art. She would dissolve into nothingness in the absence of a throng of media and those who deign to take offense at her stunts.
