It seems that nobody here is questioning what her intentions are, so there’s that at least, but the reactions seem so often to be that it’s an obvious thing that is abhorrent, but honestly, I question how many people are simply ignorant of the history on this. I grew up in a conservative, white (though not racist)…

It just like... ate them...

Since he can’t exactly produce his ticket on command, I can see how he could get pulled aside or something, or even ejected, but since he did pay, I’m really struggling to see why they pursued fining him.

Possible, true, but tape is good for dense deep storage, not random access like an astro would surely need. Furthermore, the Death Star tape was explicitly stolen from an archive. That was the long term backup, which is exactly what tape is good for.

Perhaps something contradicts this, but what if the payload wasn’t intended to stay in orbit? What if Zuma was some experimental reentry vehicle, perhaps for nuclear warheads or Project Thor-esque darts? Wouldn’t that explain what we’re seeing here?

Apparently, I’ve seen too much anime because this isn’t flipping my uncanny valley switch...

What does the screenshot tool offer over the Snipping Tool on Windows?

As cool as it would be, rockets sometimes blow up... Planes aren’t really going all that fast and if they were to experience a RUD, the debris wouldn’t go too far. A rocket experiencing the same has far more deadly shrapnel. There’s a reason why spaceports are kept well away from megacities.

The title was altered after I made this post. On top of that, you’re necroing something from a year ago.

Something to consider for any life on Titan: it’s cold enough for superconductors... I’m kinda jealous of any intelligent life that evolves on cold worlds now...

This worries me... Considering that psychoanalysis is not mainstream psychology anymore (cognitive and behavioral are more popular at this point), I’m concerned that by allowing their members to be politically weaponized, they’ll get outsized public attention, thus giving people a poor idea of what modern psychology…

Ideal would be that Kim gets assassinated by his generals who then promptly shut down the nuclear program and start working to open up the country. Obviously, we can’t just make that happen, so the best outside actors could do:

Those artillery pieces are in mountain bunkers. To take them out with conventional weapons, you pretty much have to hit them dead-on. Our weapons are certainly accurate enough do that, but we don’t just have 15,000 stealthy cruise missiles that can be launched simultaneously from subs. To take them out in one fell…

There was one night I was at a friend’s birthday party as a kid and I went outside and found the sky a sickly green. I’ve always wondered what it was, but I guess it was this? I did grow up in a rural area, so there wasn’t much light pollution.

Not necessarily. She seems like she’s smart enough based on her history to get by as a meeting monkey, even if it is in something unrelated to her degree. Perhaps not enough to get promoted/raises in line with her peers, but enough to be okay.

High level engineering positions are basically management.

Probably a silly question, but why not just stick these toys on a carrier? They already have the power supply. Is it because we don’t want our precious carriers that close to shore?

In some areas, you can get veritable swarms of the things that bite you while they’re alive and stink once they’re dead. They’re awesome for their pest control abilities, but personally after five tried to eat me in about an hour of hanging out on my grandmother’s porch as a kid, I kinda started to wish I had a…

Why is deliberately activating a smart home device via advertisement not illegal?

Maybe someone’s a bit too much of a fan of Your Name?
