Unsettling, but here’s hoping it orients itself on the Sun properly again on the next calibration cycle.  (It’s so far away that it doesn’t actually point at the Earth -- it just points at the Sun, and that’s close enough.  The beam is wide enough to cover the Earth’s entire orbit -- and quite a bit more.)

Considering the age he is when the original trilogy happens and how he was basically just getting started during rogue one, they may hint at it. Like I don’t think they’ll show the whole journey with any significant time spent there. Whatever happens in the show will happen, and then in the last few seconds of the…

They also need to make clear pre-existing conditions. While it’s easy to write off people taking it off-label as fad dieters, body image issues due to weight don’t get taken as seriously as they should.

I could joke about making Australia a penal colony again but I’ll get serious and point out the cost of virtue signaling. This is analogous to the problem of garbage islands in the Pacific ocean which was “solved” by banning plastic straws in the US. 80% of rhe plastic trash in the Pacific is traceable to Indonesia…

The UK Labour Party has quite famously been out of power for many many years. Maybe everyone should read a newspaper?

A Swiss company (Meteomatics) with an office in Milan (San Gallo) did an analysis of the weather when the plane was taking off.
Rain had already started immediately west of Malpensa when the plane was still at the gate.
The plane later taxied and lined up with runway 35R. The lighting was picking up in frequency and…

I have extensive track experience and even on most racetracks, it is hard to top 130 mph on the straightaway let alone on a public street. I could never conceive of going that fast or faster on a public road where so much can go wrong from inconsistent pavement to animals and pedestrians as well as other drivers. Not…

Yeah, since people need excuses to keep up their flying practice, flying out to an airport restaurant in another town is the stereotypical thing to do. 

The occupants were returning to Georgetown after eating breakfast 96 miles away in Kerrville, Texas, a pretty unusual breakfast run.

Yeah, wait until the author hears about the $100 hamburger for the Cali folks.

Meh...
A drop in a VERY large bucket (pun of course intended) compared to, say, CA farmers growing almonds or flood irrigating rice...

I mean, it’s abundantly clear that Barbie and Oppeheimer are not succesful because these are brands people feel the need to keep up with, but because these are good movies made by talented people.  Nobody wants the “Manhattan Project Cinematic Universe” and the less the various “Mattel brand movies” have to do with…

Give NASA 1% of the DoD budget and we can do both!  And more!!

And they can’t even mod the spam out of the thread asking for mods

Cruise is such an interesting star.

Yes, that’s right. From a legal perspective that’s exactly how trademarks work and are supposed to work. Taco Johns had this trademark for a long time and suddenly people want to use it, tough. Although, I think the argument that it has become generic is probably pretty decent. Fighting genericization of a…

They didn’t have it “fair and square,” though. It (a) not nearly unique enough a phrase to start with that (b) has long since entered the common lexicon, specifically BECAUSE it's so generic that nobody realized it was trademarked. (Originally it was "Taco Twosday," which has the benefit of including a non-word…

A quick Google search gave me 8 million gallons per minute for the colorado river from US Geological Survey. 

Ford goofed up a bunch of things when it comes to their EVs, not the least of which was increasing the pricing substantially and the early quality issues

Tesla’s stock price and valuation stopped making sense in a long time ago in terms of the size of the company and overall market share. There are so many promised breakthroughs and “later this year” items already priced into the current valuation that I think everyone has simply lost track of what has already been…
