Technically, it’s the Empire’s ADA, which I’d imagine is as neglectfully evil as the Trump EPA/FDA.

There’s already more college graduates than openings that actually require postsecondary knowledge. Not everyone can or should become a goddamn engineer, software or otherwise. Not every job will be high skill. In fact, most won’t for the foreseeable future.

The shuttle wasn’t really suited well for anything due to repeated cutbacks in scope early in the program (e.g., reusable first stage), plus the ridiculous cross range and payload requirements made by the USAF who never even ended up using it.

I’m not really dissappointed in the current administration’s plans for the moon, because neither it nor any previous administration’s plans for moon or Mars have been remotely serious.

You *vastly* understate how totally fucked Venezuela is right now. It doesn’t matter how much oil is in the ground when the state oil company has been packed to the rafters with cronies and grifters who line their pockets instead of maintaining equipment.

The way aircraft work is something along the lines of “fly 4,000 miles OR carry 4,000lbs”. They can’t do both at once. Sometimes carrying max cargo means you can’t carry max fuel (a lot of fighter jets are like this) without breach max weight.

Woolworth Bldg hasn’t been in the world’s top 100 tallest in a long time. I’m not even sure it’s in the 100 tallest in America anymore either. It’s something like 40th tallest in NYC alone.

It’s the correct way if you like munching on the pepper caps while prepping.

Everything east of the Mississippi and north of the Mason Dixon can be called “northeast”. Especially if you’re just breaking the country into quadrants.

Point #1 is horseshit invented by thorium fanboys (Because of course the internet has fanboys of thorium). Uranium was chosen because it could be cooled and moderated by pressurized water, which was a well-understood technology. Uranium itself is rather plentiful too. That most of the processing cycle was proven and sc…

I’d grab as many people from the party as I could, go to the next council meeting, sign up to comment, wait my turn, read the letter out loud and formally respond to it by having everyone laugh at the whole council for a solid 10-15 seconds.

Rocket fuel is actually pretty cheap ($1/gal for LH2 and even less for LOX. RP-1 runs at ~$2-3 gal). It’s the rocket motor and all the QC man hours that’s expensive.

If plates and banging together, just don’t pack them so closely. Leave an empty space between them.

Electric knife sharpener are pretty much *only* for people cutting up meat all day. For everyone else, they at best remove excessive material. In practice, they usually just fuck up the edge.

DC-8, not DC-10.

Yeah, everyone’s gawking over some wings and there’s a full size Stargate. Right. There. And no one says a thing.

Nah. Not only did the Pearl Harbor attack (rather famously) miss every aircraft carrier in the Pacific, but all of the battleships at anchor were...well...the C-Team. All of them were laid down during or before WW1. Only 2 ships present (Maryland and West Virginia) had modern 16" guns.

That’s not how those agreements work. Each state remits the entirety of what it collects on behalf of the other state.

Minimum 40% of Foxconn employees will live in Illinois. I guarantee it. It’s too close to the border and there’s way too many people living in Northern Cook and Lake counties.
