1. The cost to maintain it would be huge

And I understand your frustration and it is reasonable, but my point was that as righteous as the anger is that we are entitled to have — it just feels like Israel has gotta do what they gotta do. You see countries relying solely on the US and then make little effort themselves to maintain their security. Israel takes…

Good for them, nobody except Israel actually gives a shit what happens to Israel... Funny how’s is the Jews and Saudis vs their supposed ally the President and Iran on this. Besides it won’t be Washington that will have a nuclear weapon smuggle cross border by Hezbollah, so as long as Israel does not share that…

Is it weird that I just read the Gawker piece on Nazism surviving in Germany and then this? I don't remember clicking through to get here so I don't think it was intentional, but the timing does prevent me from being angry that Israel is doing a bang-up job at protecting their interests. You do you, Israel. Good job.

I work at a hospital (my username is MD PHD) and have hard data that shows this is true. You can agree or disagree all you want, but the facts are that less than 1% of births at our hospital are scheduled for convenience. The ACOG does not collect nationwide data, but estimates the maximum it could be is 2.5%. It is…

you sound nice!

Calling it a tie is a cop out, I wanted to see some fanboy wars in the comments!

Unlimited (compressed) photo backup, which won’t eat against my Drive storage? HELL YES.

What we need are the football stars around Europe to stand up and boycott this World Cup. I’m talking about people in the top of the game. Messi-level star power. Enough players publicly boycott Qatar (Russia also would be nice) then something may finally give.

I have been a lurker of this site for years now. I’ve never felt compelled to comment on a story but your entire site’s reporting of FIFA and the 2022 Qatar World Cup is second to none.

Is the “Not notice” category I belong to so small it’s not even represented?

Way cool, but video needs MUCH higher frame rate to truly capture the coolness.

C’mon. Get the Slo-Mo guys on this, STAT.

This machine isn’t like a first-class ticket on an airline. It’s more like a front-row seat at a concert. It costs an arm and a leg to get in, it’s noisy and uncomfortable, and you might be expected to cheer. Sure, it’s the best seat in the house, but you damn well better be a giant fan of the band.

I’ll fill you in since you seem to be pretty new to SpaceX.

It is refreshing to see the hero actually get tired.

"So how are we making these things?"
"We mill them, polish them, and coat them."
"Ok, how do we make that sound super futuristic and sexy?"
"Shoot it all in macro and have vaguely-British-accent-guy narrate it like we've just discovered mass production for the first time?"

Robin Williams had Lewy Body Dementia (discovered in the autopsy), he really didn't know who he was let alone who loved him when he committed suicide. Its a messed up disease, that can be both like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and many doctors aren't familiar with it, and some people with LBD can react negatively if…
