I’d love to be checking out those lightsabers for myself, but I can’t, because goddamn Disney isn’t releasing RoS over on my shores for another fifteen fucking days.

Burgundy! Yech! *shivers*

I’ll have one of each please. Because I hate having to choose.

Expertly parked!

No, I’m smart, which is why I realize that your idea is complete poppycock.

You’re not a dumpy supporter? Coulda fooled me, pal.

Yes, but according to the Repuggers, it’s only 1 person being bad, and it’s not Jared.

Ok, so they ban re-useable bags; will they also ban re-useable pants too then? Because I’m thinking that my pants go a lot more places where there might be contagion than a grocery bag would.

My point was, that there was never going to be any static fire test taking place regardless of if this thing had not crumpled up, because the rig was incapable of that mounted as it was at the time of its unfortunate demise.

Reminds me when I saw an old text bitching about how lazy, insolent and rude the youth of the day was, and how they just laid around drinking wine all day long.

Screw that noise. Compact cassettes were utter crap.

It may be noted that the PAL video broadcast system simply defined the number of lines - IE vertical resolution. Being analog in nature, the video signal has no concept of discrete horizontal pixels as such; theoretically horizontal resolution could be infinitely high with a video signal of infinite bandwidth. :) In…

Ah. The party of Support The Troops, doing their usual thing which is shitting on the troops, anytime, every time.

It kind of looks like a sandcastle guarded by GI Joe dolls... Very strange, yet intriguing!

Hah, yeah. I think that maybe I should be playing one of my 1 million untouched Steam games which I bought for good, real money years and years ago, then I sigh and log into World of Warcraft instead and end up wasting all my time there...

That’s not a static fire test stand though. And there are no rocket engines mounted to that thing either. And if there were, and you fired them, it would make the whole thing blow up from the shockwaves from the rocket exhaust hitting the ground right below. It’s just a section of rocket fuselage with fuel tanks…

I’m not going to defend Skinja’s statements specifically since I didn’t make them, but here’s the deal:

Yes. The way the thing crinkles before folding up and collapsing suggests lack of inside pressure, in my backseat structural engineering expertise... Just a guess though. *shrug*

You vastly understate the difficulties and complexities involved here. Modern digital radio tech uses tons of signal processing, advanced modulation techniques, phase shifting, multiple transceivers and antennas - you couldn’t hope to cook up anything similar on your own if you had a thousand years to do it, unless…

If one has a little bit of fuck you money they might just pay the fine regardless of it’s cheaper or not, just to stick it to HoA Benito who wrote that pissy, passive-aggressive response letter re-printed up there in the news post.
