Eh; everybody has to choose for themselves what their pain points are.

And that wasn’t the first price hike.

I saw one at dusk, with its headlights on.  They don’t look very effective.

Ow. I looked at the picture (while eating — I’m not bothered by blood) and that definitely needed stitches. Wound like that, on a very bendy body part that gets frequent use (you will never quite appreciate just how often you use your wrists until you’ve got them bandaged or splinted), is absolutely going to need

At sufficiently large scales, 0 and 100 are as close to each other as to make no difference anyway.  :-P

Drunk is still possible.  That’s when you’re most likely to think “hey, check this out . . . I’M KING OF THE W. . . W. . . WAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaahhh.......”  <splah.

Beware la tricoteuse.....

I think he might be amenable to deporting the Jews as well, actually. I think so would a lot of his supporters. There’s a very ugly undercurrent to the full-throated support of Israel by some white supremacists, and it’s not really because they’re pro-Jew, nor even because of the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” thing.

No, you’re only allowed to hurt one side of the equation.  Otherwise it’d be a fair comparison.  ;-)

So excited to see this monster come into view again!  I’ve got my solar filtered 8" telescope ready!

I was actually toying with buying their premium service. Then I saw the price tag and immediately “noped”. That was BEFORE the latest price hike, so they’re definitely on their way to eliminating themselves from paid streaming for all but the most inattentive of users. If they weren’t obsessed with profit growth as a

And that’s why he makes a fuss about this sort of thing.  Focusing people on a meaningless “threat” like the gay panic creates a useful distraction.

Aesthetic schmaesthetics, amiright?  We should just go back to brutalist architecture and forget all this frippery about making things look nice.

Yes, he does have time for this.  He has to keep his base fired up so they stay distracted from the mess he’s making of everything else.

Okay, you definitely underestimate how expensive forty years of obsolesence is on a system as complex as a spacecraft (not to mention the price tag of a large telescope mirror — those simply don’t fall into the “cost effective” category no matter what you do). This has nothing to do with having lost the blueprints or

What’s weird about that is I’m pretty sure you can already charter a flight for you and your pet on comparable charter services without paying an intermediary to handle the booking for you, if you’re willing to pay these kinds of rates.

Since it’s so hard to tell tone on the Internet, I have to ask: are you being serious or sarcastic?

Intriguing! I like showing fighting without the lightsabers for a change. I mean, I love a good swashbuckler, and let’s all be honest — that’s always been a big part of the appeal of the Jedi. But it’s nice to have a change. The Force, if they’re being internally consistent, should give them a lot of advantages in

No.  The US is a signatory to the Outer Space Treaty.  In this case, NASA is only asserting ownership of the Hubble Space Telescope, specifically.

Far better. ;-)
