But remember that incident with the Soyuz MS-09. What was probably a hole probably accidentally drilled by a worker was repaired in a substandard manner, and when it leaked again, they tried to blame it on psychological distress American astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor, implying that she couldn’t hack the stresses…

How does that help? It buys 1 1/4 second off your tens of minutes latency, under the best of circumstances.

The thing that lessens the likelihood of this is not the backstop of the US, but if Putin can’t invade lil’ ole Ukraine, how would he do against the whole of the European portion of NATO? If nothing else, Poland is loaded for Russian Bear.

United States Government doesn’t pay to keep warship museums going. They have to raise their own money for maintaining the ship (See USS Texas and USS New Jersey for well-documented examples). Definitely not going to do it for a civilian ocean liner, no matter her historical significance. After the asbestos…

Damned plate tectonics.

I was always bothered by the idea that a 23 year old was playing an experienced neurosurgeon, when in real life, she probably would have been a first year med student. Who is she, Doogie Hauser? If you’re going to do that, at least go into the backstory a bit.

Now that’s the car racing movie I need, but did not know.

Maybe because it just visited where I live, but I thought this:

Thank you for reminding me how awful the narrated version was.

An airplane must be strong enough to be fully structurally sound unpressurized. If not, it would structurally fail if it decompressed or at low altitudes where there is little to no pressure differential.

When they played the University of Iowa Hawkeyes at the 2016 Rose Bowl, they did a “Farmers Only” dating website-themed halftime show. Iowans, who take pains to indicate that only a small percentage of them are involved in agriculture, did not appreciate the joke (see comments).

Every car has a use case. The use case for this one potentially seems to jibe with your needs.

I posted this elsewhere, but lately, all his speeches are like a glitching ChatGPT AI with the input, “Write a speech that will appeal to racist isolationist rubes.”

Yeah, I collected a few letters behind my name from BU, too. That’s what moved me out to Boston from the Midwest.

My wife has run it a few times, and we used to live in Hopkinton. I approve of the color scheme for jackets, tattoos (not yet, but she’s window shopping) and t-shirts, but unless you start incorporating some unicorn stitching, it’s not floating my boat as a car interior.

Speaking of denim and Formula 1, I give you the 1980/81 Osella!

Did Bugatti actually tool up injection molds for 12 cars? The molds for that can run into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yeah, I know they’re selling $26 million of cars, but still, for such a small item? A lot of low-production cars use lighting units borrowed from other cars, as Jalopnik itself has…

“Comes from money,” but doesn’t have a card?

Boeing is still on the hook for the contracted Commercial Crew flights. If they don’t deliver, they don’t receive the contracted amounts. So they’re highly incentivized to complete their contractual obligations.
