Honestly, I’m not even sure it’ll get that far, with as glacially as the program moves, the number of setbacks its already had, and how far it still has left to go. The optics on SLS are getting uglier by the day. If the right (or wrong, depending on your perspective) persons get put in charge of the purse strings,…

SLS launch window is somewhere between next year and the heat death of the universe. If you’re putting bets on ‘next year,’ you’re far more likely to be disappointed.

Don’t get your hopes up yet. They didn’t put good odds on the telescope deploying correctly with as many points of failure as it has. Getting it into space is the ‘easy’ part.

It’s Freedom Fuel! Bringing you 100% of your daily dose of American Freedoms! If you don’t love Freedom Fuel, you don’t love America, you damn dirty socialist scum!

Don’t forget about the possibility that they’re a bunch of fools who’ve lapped up the ‘can’t be wrong’ cop propaganda bullshit. I mean, there’s the high probability of also being racist, but that’s not the only reason.

At least several months. Jaskier and Geralt parted ways near the ‘end’ of season 1 — shortly after which, Geralt takes Ciri to Kae Morhen — and according to Jaskier, when we see him again, that’s how much time had passed.

And, of course, let’s not forget about thousands of miles of leaky pipelines. Or piledriving ocean floors for oil rigs...which also leak. But those are totally ‘fine.’

Are you talking about the same Senators who have a track record of voting against anything Democrats do that’s almost predicable as the cycles of the sun and moon? Those senators?? Senators who are almost universally applauded back in their home states for doing exactly what they’ve been doing all along — undermining…

Indeed. The loudest complainers and staunchest opponents of socialism are the FIRST people to stick out their hands for federal dollars. And then they BRAG about it (see: McConnell talking up the hundreds of millions of federal dollars he absconded with for Kentucky).

This is the state of the highest levels of the US government — a cesspool of craven sycophants, idiots, liars, and thieves, and *NO ONE* who can or will stop them, let alone hold them accountable for their stupidity, lies, and theft. Because their voters love them for their stupidity, lies, and theft.

Material sciences have come a LONG ways since the 1800s. What was not workable back does not mean it still isn’t now. Sometimes old ideas get set aside and forgotten until someone asks these kinds of obvious questions. That doesn’t necessitate that it’s any better of an idea now, but I’d wager this one of those…

But once again, they would have us all believe that America *ISN’T* a police state, but any time ‘law enforcement’ operates with unilateral authority, without transparency or accountability, that *IS* a police state, and that sure looks like that status quo for American ‘law enforcement’ — unilateral authority,…

There is a difference, though, and it’s an important one: altitude. The *SAIL* only sits at surface level. The kite, depending on tensile strength, can be much, much higher up, where wind levels are more reliable. So while you’re technically correct, the devil is in the details. One of which will be ultimately be if…

Nah. They’re working exactly as ‘intended.’ They should probably worn lower, in fact — like a belt buckle or something — and deal with two problems at the same time. It’ll stop ‘5g’ and reproduction.

“Look at all these awful things I have to do to win! Can you imagine what the those terrible Democrats are doing to win? Because it must be worse. Clearly.”

Large organizations are *RARELY* efficient. At anything. As they grow, it becomes easier and easier to hide inefficiencies, and the ‘value’ of hiding said inefficiencies within the structure of the organization increases. It’s essentially a feedback loop, where both problems continually exacerbate each other. Add with…

Smaller developers don’t have the funds to keep the studio solvent for extended periods of time while they work on their games (particularly since *publishers* often demand the rights before they’ll agree to publish). They have to ‘crunch’ because it’s that or go bankrupt and get nothing from that time at all.

But we let murders, rapists, child molesters, corrupt politicians and businessmen — who destroy AT LEAST as many lives with their shit — off with far lesser sentences. This isn’t ‘the sword of justice’ at work. This is just beating someone to death for the sheer, sadistic pleasure of it.

Rogue One is a decent movie with great potential hobbled by not spending enough time with editors to whip the script into shape. Because everyone needs an editor. Even an editor. It’s easy enough to follow, and it’s not hard to see what they wanted to do with it. The execution just wasn’t quite where it needed to be.

People. It’s always people. People ruin EVERYTHING. F***ing people.
