I think we’re pretty much just dead if the moon decides it’s not going to orbit us anymore.

I get the sense that Rogan (much like Chappelle) is leaning even more heavily into his RWNJ mindset to troll the libs that he has probably always thought poorly of (because we don’t like MMA as much as the cultists, or actually question his bullshit which I imagine most podcasters absolutely hate).  I’m just grateful…

that would be a spot-on description of the guy I am thinking of. Ex-military, just re-married to a woman with a few daughters, I *assume* she skews liberal but I live in the heart of Trumpistan in Baltimore County so I can’t say for sure, and he routinely used to get into it with an obnoxious T***p supporter, really…

You know what’s weird about this? Conservatives are the ones who are always like, “Fathers are essential! How dare you say that children can thrive without a father! Every child deserves a father!” But then they’re like, “LOL, what good is a father to a baby?”

What people like Manchin and Sinema are doing is committing violence. The people they represent in their respective states overwhelming support these initiative because they help most Americans regardless of party affiliation. It’s not physical violence but financial violence by robbing us of basic social programs…

Man, talking about Gadsby has always brought out the trolls. Combine Gadsby with Chappelle and it’s a veritable avalanche of not-particularly-clever trolling. My dismiss finger is getting tired. 

It’s entirely on-brand for Meghan McCain to not realize that people are being shitty to her because she’s being shitty to them. She’s the epitome of the person who doesn’t realize that she’s not just running into assholes all day: she’s the asshole.

This isn’t really news. I mean it is, in that NASA and Boeing have publicly said it, but if you follow the launch business, you know that a delay to 2022 became a certainty the moment they removed Starliner from the Atlas V stack. Even if they had solved the problem the very next day, there was at that point no time…

It’s amazing how many naysayers and armchair quarterbacks there are on these comment threads. If Elon Musk second guessed and doubted as much as people in these threads his companies would have gone nowhere fast. That’s part of his genius, to take measured risk. And using hundreds of millions of dollars of his own…

I own a Tesla Model Y. It’s a fun drive and it’s thoughtfully put together.

Huh. Interesting. It appears that

But those oversight activities would be related to designing/building the HLS variant. The basic Starship predates all that, as does a separate contract with DoD for developing a refuel capability.

I’m with you! The two rover shots taken by Ingenuity just have the rover sneaking into the edge of the frame—I get that both spacecraft are busy, but just take a nice aerial portrait of Perseverance for us! 

I contend that if some idiot hauls a 50 lb bag of rice onto the driver’s seat just to defeat his autopilot at highway speeds, then the bag of rice is the smarter of the pair.

Its not exoneration of Tesla.  It’s confirmation that peoples blinding hate for Tesla causes them to overlook the same issues elsewhere.

“While the U.S. government has made several major disclosures in the last year more or less admitting that UFOs (or as it calls them, “unidentified aerial phenomena”) are real—at least in the sense that military pilots and naval crews have encountered unidentified objects in the skies”

Literally what it always meant,…

I’m old enough to remember when the head of this program was so smug about Boeings abilities to build this thing and how it would blow other private companies out of the water. The reason may just be karma and nothing else. 

I’m think that SpaceX was thinking “We’re going to have to develop one of these anyway - and if NASA wants to subsidize it some, that’s fine - we’ll make up the difference.”

Remember when most people thought that Starliner would get people to space before Dragon would? I don’t even think the doubters thought it’d be a year and a half later and Starliner hasn’t even gotten off the pad again yet.

No, you have it wrong, the crux of the argument was that you can’t refuse to serve someone that is part of a protected class in terms of discrimination, ie. based on religion, sex, race, ethnicity, etc.

“Stupid Mother Fuckers’ isn’t a protected class, hence why Trump was banned and has no argument.
