The problem though is that Boeing has to address all the failures, come up with a redesign, and will likely have to do an unmanned test again before being allowed to carry a crew.

NASA awarded Boeing the contract in 2014. They were supposed to be flight ready by 2017. It’s 7 years later and they still aren’t there.

And…

Yeah but, like, that costs money.

Everybody else did.

Guess the Starliner Door Guy didn’t get a vacation.

What’s interesting is that we (thruster designers) knew back in the late 1960's that high temperatures needed to be addressed in thruster design. How do I know? My company blew one up in a test stand while testing it’s performance, in part, for high temperature operation. This was after we had already took high…

At least the door stayed attached so Boeing is getting better.

I think you’re confused. The article in fact talks about how he thought it was black, but sees that it is bronze, and was confirmed when they saw the new poster, which is the header image.

No opinion on color, but this does bring up an interesting topic. Back in the original trilogy, characters/wardrobe, models, and sets were created, then later emulated in merchandizing. Their sales performance were tied to how good of a concept the original designs were. But now, it would seem that merch is coming…

Did the guy have a death wish? 

The problem is that they don’t go away. GW could outright tell them to fuck off and they’d still do mental gymnastics to say that the insult was meant for someone else and escape to darker corners of the community. It’s just exhausting.

I, a person with almost zero interest in WH40K, have come across a ton of fan art of female characters, including Custodes. Some of it isn’t even pornographic! Clearly there’s some interest there.

I agree. If this manipulative company wants the land, they need to pay for it. This article states theres no proof of all the lies they are telling the public to persuade people into signing petitions. And not just one person, EVERYBODY they have working for them standing outside every grocery store in the county is…

This accusation that Stewart’s ego got the best of him reads like a take from an alternate reality. Stewart was, if anything, almost too humble. He’d go out of his way to dismiss himself and his show as just the ramblings of a silly comedian and would often make the argument that it was pathetic that his show was…

When I cut the cord, a streaming service requirement for me was having CC. I ended up with YoutubeTV, which has unlimited DVR, so I recorded every episode of TDS, but ended up actually watching it less and less, until now I can’t remember last time I watched it.

yep, in a fight between godzilla and ghidorah Im rooting for godzilla. better for it to just destroy tokyo instead of the whole world.

Easy. Thrawn is the best manager you can ask for if you're a Jarhead.

Ahhhhh fuck yeah, there’s my boy Ezra! I’m so excited, and so glad it wasn’t a extremely cliffhangery moment he was introduced in. He just a chill guy with a great beard living with some hermit crab people. Fucking ace.

The thing that really encapsulates it for me is the argument you hear from companies about various actions taken by others resulting in “lost sales” - as if they somehow can argue that an event which hadn’t yet taken place was an incontrovertible inevitability, and then cry foul when it doesn’t materialize.

This is what I don’t get. AI isn’t capable of replacing writers. (“But the latest movies I didn’t like might as well have been written by AI,” quip people who have never tried to write a script or screenplay with or without AI.) If studio executives truly believe that it will be ready soon, why not agree to the…
