If only we put this kind of effort into making repairs to transit infrastructure.

3k so I can poke at a floating Apple logo?  Pass.

An interesting point about Voyager is that the project had to race to catch a planetary alignment window that would not occur again for 175 years. It was the most efficient opportunity to pass the five outer planets before sling-shotting into interstellar space. Visiting just one of these planets in the meantime is a…

Pioneer 10 and 11 were predecessors to the Voyager probes but have long since gone silent. Since Voyager, there was a desire for more detailed planetary studies so the Galileo and Cassini probes were built to enter the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn respectively and lacked the onboard propellant for any meaningful…

If they’re going to launch newer probes for the same purpose, it’d be MUCH more valuable to launch them in the opposite direction. Maximize parallax.

The voyagers took advantage of a rare beneficial planetary alignment to propel themselves and to be able to visit many planets. Another similar alignment is not bound to happen in the next 130 years.

you’re pathetic if you don’t root for advancements in technology all because of one person.

Most of where we are with rockets came from the Nazis. Wernher von Braun was a Nazi and created the V2 rocket with terrorized London. He also created the Saturn 5 rocket which brought us to the Moon.

Again, you can cheer for…

You can be excited for exciting things and still dislike Musk.

If it weren’t for the sending-off-into-the-tires of the British grand prix, then, yes, I’d join you in feeling sorry for Hamilton.

Sure the Telluride is a good car, but there comes a point where it just doesn’t make sense anymore. A loaded one is $53k MSRP. 17% over that makes it $62k. Sure you’re going to have lower service costs over a luxury brand, but you won’t get a loaner at a Kia dealership and there’s definitely a monetary value to good…

It’s ridiculous. The amount of documentation to show that I am not actually making money on this $600 of product I’m selling PER YEAR online is a huge headache and ultimately TurboTax will likely just recommend the standard deduction anyway. But they’re gonna make me incorporate as a business and have an additional…

r/woooosh

No. Definitely not. This is a lazy take. FTX was a $32B wipeout. Tech stocks have wiped out $3 TRILLION in value since the beginning of the year. Which do you really think had a bigger impact?

Any one with any training and experience in human behavior can endorse that she is a lying and deluded head case.

The woman had a forensic psych evaluation that determined she has Borderline Personality Disorder and Histrionic Personality Disorder. I am not taking sides because I don’t know, but having dated a man diagnosed with BDP for six years and knowing the chaos they create and the lies that they tell its very possible that…

A former FBI behavior specialist reviewed the tapes and found Heard’s body language, use of language and “phrase-ology” says she is insincere and lying.

I hate this gatekeeping so much. Certain long time American soccer fans are the same way. Why wouldn’t you want more people interested in your sport? Makes zero sense.

I agree they missed a LOT last season, as the on-track racing deserved a show all on its own.  But I went into it knowing they wouldn’t do a recap of the season because that’s never been the point of the show.  I just enjoyed Mazepin telling us how the clouds are different in Russia.

It’s a rough one - the downside of DTS is that they’re running out of the big macro stories to tell. We now know most of the drivers, the teams financial fortunes etc. The one thing they have going for them is the turbulence the new car has made, it will be interesting viewing now that the balance of power has shifted…

Why? Two parts=Two admissions sold per audience member=More money. I’m just surprised they didn’t go for trilogy or ‘verse.
