I remember there being a debate about sending something up to save it before it got too far gone. I didn’t know the details, but I remember when ISS was built, people were saying “we already had this with Skylab and Mir, we could have added on to them instead of this expensive program.”

It came down prematurely; they didn’t destroy it on purpose. (That’s partially accurate — in fact they did somewhat control the reentry. It had no propulsion, so they tried to partially control the reentry by adjusting the angle of the solar arrays. It didn’t completely work, and they ended up hitting Australia…

When I was a kid, they destroyed Skylab. Sort of screwed up and ended up bombing Austrilia with it. But anyway, I didn’t understand why they didn’t just keep it up there.

What we do have is one of the two major political parties fully committed to LYING about that fact and claiming that there is all kinds of fraud and that elections have been stolen.

Much as it sometimes annoys me, Australia uses paper ballots in every level of election from council, state and federal. Those ballots are counted, generally at the voting centre, by employees with representatives of the major parties observing and challenging individual ballots at the time. The ballots are retained…

Honestly this! If this magic key is so powerful, it needs to be managed accordingly with multiple levels of security logging. That someone could just leave it out on a table is a massive failure on multiple levels.

lollllll

“...people wouldn’t feel so inclined to stain his cars with shit.”

And in the article, “No visible signs of security”, which makes me wonder if there were no cameras or anything, and marvel at leaving a couple of million dollars of inventory simply out in the open like that.

At least it was as a Tesla lot, and not random people’s driveways 🤷‍♂️ Kind of makes the vandalism not so bad since someone hadn’t taken ownership yet 😂

While I don’t assume that’s true, your comment did make me think of the old white guy who said that his driveway was vandalized by Black teens. It said “Blacks Rule” in spray paint. Totally believable graffiti, sounded exactly like the type of thing young people would say. 

On the one hand, vandalizing property is wrong. Period.

MAYBE it wasn’t someone hired by Elon or a rabid MAGA trying to false flag for Elon? Just putting that possibility out there, however remote, before someone says otherwise.

“Why dont they go for more interesting conspiracy theories?”

I am sure all these women wanted to have kids with Elon Musk because of his great intellect, awesome personality and deep understanding of other human beings.

To be fair, nor do reality shows.

The team that’s been able to hack functionality to voyager remotely (for a definition of ‘remotely’ exceeding all other remotelys by a vast order of magnitude) deserve a congressional medal of honor.
