I typed a similar comment and then deleted it. HD is in the business of making money, that’s it. They’re no different than any other major brand.  HD doesn’t care about DEI any more than Bud Light did.  They care about money.  That’s it.  Money.

You can certainly debate the merits of allowing Starlink, but the idea of using LEO satellites to deliver internet was innovative and transformative for satellite internet. The Starlink satellites are in VLEO and will deorbit on their own within a few years, so they don’t result in a permanent “space junk” problem…

I don’t get it - please explain how Space X is a shitshow? They are the leading rocket company in the world, by a longshot, with overwhelming positive statistics in regards to launches and reliability. 

For all his problems, Elon hasn’t managed to ruin SpaceX. It’s actually been incredibly successful. In fact, the only reason why we aren’t worried about the astronauts being stranded permanently is the fact that the SpaceX dragon (the one that 10 years ago everyone assumed would fly after the Starliner) has proven to…

I’m starting to think it was subcontracted out to the Cybertruck team

What is your alternative punishment?

a hydrogen leak left them stranded in orbit
…
series of small but persistent helium leaks

Good for them. I probably would’ve killed myself three days in.

Here I was, thinking they finally salvaged the Ekranoplan wreckage from the beaches of the Caspian Sea.

Alternate title:  Hail described as snow in antiquated, archaic NWS reports, and it hailed during a summer storm, so absolutely nothing unusual happened but we need clicks so let’s bullshit this story as much as possible.

The misleading photo is no way to present a story. You are part of the problem.

I mean, I hate it, but it kind of works in a horrible over the top way, in that it’s fully committed to being all gaudy and bad.

“Guys”, plural? Maybe improve your vetting process? Maybe have a look at “good guys” and not “bad boys”?

it’s almost like the writers of this show don’t know to even consider these things...like at least retrieving the lightsabers, and the helmet.

This really is like the worst of Fan Fiction, they’re so enamored of their own story (such as it is) that they can’t be bothered with anything else.

Exactly. I thought it was bad that my dad cared much more for his second wife than me, but being married to a man who views his precocious car as much more important than his wife & child and the 13 year old who saved said child has to be awful. Clearly the man has Narcissistic Personality Disorder...

theres no using force lightning to save a hoverbus of children for example

It’s a democratization of what the Force and be, and who can wield it, that Star Wars has slowly moved back toward in recent years after a period of attempting to define and canonize explicit rules about it—and a move for the better for the galaxy far, far away.

Yeah, this is super frustrating and James Whitbrook Star Wars articles are always frustrating to read because he really doesn’t understand what he’s talking about.

The further Star Wars moves away from the original Campbell Canon, the more sophomoric it becomes. This is almost too cliched to watch.
