What a strange tone for this article. Musk is an ass and a spoiled rich boy who throws temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way, but that doesn’t change the accomplishments of SpaceX. This was a prototype and nobody gave it much of a chance of total success, even Musk, but it flew, and then maneuvered its way back…

He’s at the age where estate planning is probably more important to him than whether Tide uses Blowin’ in the Wind in a commercial or not. 

That moment when an engine fires to life for the first time ... it’s hard to describe. It’s joy, relief and redemption all in one. The moment when a pile of parts becomes a car again. Ahhhh! After that though, comes the inevitable checking for leaks and sounds of clanking that might bring it all crashing down again. 

Like Rosalie said,

Same here. A TV dinner or maybe Banquet frozen fried chicken were special treats. 

The Elon cult fully believe that Star Ship will send a hundred people to Mars in two years. That’s why even notorious hypeman Musk is trying to temper expectations. In addition to what NASA is doing don’t forget Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket as well as ULA, Blue Origin and others. The more people we have going to space…

Ah, I see. It’s not ugly it’s edgy, and if I think it’s ugly it’s because I’m old fashioned and stuck in my ways and not cool enough. That last bit is a fair cop, but the car is still butt ugly and no amount of throwing shade is going to change that.

I got Subway on ETNT and the Filet O’Fish on lovefood. Not a banner year, though I’m sure Subway’s sandwiches back then were better than the ones now.

Those of us who were given a sugar cube to vaccinate us against polio are examples that the first effective vaccine isn’t necessarily the final version. That doesn’t mean that the first vaccine isn’t important and won’t save lives. It’s just a process and we should be prepared that the first one won’t be perfect. 

Whisky, Scotch, neat. My nerves demand it even if my boss doesn’t. 

I’m guessing that the product planners have decided not to produce any if they can’t sell it in cans as that probably makes up the vast majority of already small (for a Coke product) sales.

Top Chef used to be the one reality/game show I really liked but then it became more Top Caterer with too many of the challenges more about being able to pack up the dishes and finish/serve them at a remote location than who can make the best food in a kitchen. Now, Top Caterer might make a great show but that’s not…

Tell her she has to use the claw!
