These things have the same sort of failure-inducing defects that Teslas have. You can’t recall and software-update a self-destructing rocket, though. 

You can get all kinds of things road legal in the UK, but I guess  the wank panzer is a bit too much. Every time I see one it looks uglier to me. 

This is the problem with iterative design. I can’t tell you if they’re 3 launches or 40 launches away from a usable rocket. Agile works well for smaller projects, but it hits limitations on very large, complex ones with highly complex and highly interconnected systems. Physics doesn’t permit you to just have a…

So Starship has exploded more than it’s landed. Glad we cleared that up.

Artemis had a single flight... that did not explode at all and went to the Moon and came back without showering any portion of the earth with debris. Development on Starship started in 2012.

no no. let him go off on this tangent and spend 4 years passing laws that dont do anything.

Thats why there need to be age limits to be president or frankly for any politician there should be.

It’s just absurd to me that “Hardships for all, handouts for billionaires” was essentially the Republican platform in 2024, and they just won on it.

And I’m here for it. You know the C-suites of the car companies voted for Trump. And, let’s be real, most of the blue collar workers did too.

If the “new” thing has the same features as the current thing and gets sold for less, it’s a discount. I suppose we will have to see if/how the thing is de-contented. Assuming it gets made in the first place (looking at you, $25,000 model 3 and $40,000 truck!)

He’s a moron,  He has no idea how anything works or what he’s doing. He’s literally a con man that conned his way into the White house, TWICE.

And when it fails him, he and the GQP apologist trying to cover for his stupidity will just blame it on the democrats and DEI.

The current trade agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada was negotitated by...Donald Trump.

THIS. For a supposed businessman, he really does not understand what a trade deficit is. But then, he’s not really a businessman. He’s got experience in real estate, but that’s it. His time on the Apprentice was heavily scripted. He doesn’t know anything at all about manufacturing, engineering, supply chains, fulfillme…

“I wonder if President Trump knows…”

Not sure if it works in the auto industry, but for most other industries this would absolutely not work even in the short term.

Perhaps relatedly, welcome to $45 USD bottles of maple syrup.

We’re now far past the era of the ‘low information voter’ and firmly in the grasp of the ‘doesn’t know how anything works voter’.

If any trade relation globally benefits the US, its with Canada. Basically the entire “trade deficit” with Canada is the US buying discount priced raw oil that is pulled out of the ground in Canada and sent straight to the US to be processed and refined by US workers and sold for high margins to global customers as…
