feels weird with it ending this early in the night.
ballgame. Randy's career is as good as over. He's not touching 15.

2 and 1/2 a year? Those numbers are not correct

8 planes over 3 years is a little over two and a half a year, right? No?

$150M a pop feels expensive for an F15 at this point, especially when you're only getting two and a half or so a year

Musk is a visionary, and like most visionaries he doesn't have the ability to grasp reality very well.

UHI on a societal scale isn't compatavle with human nature.

I usually ask mine to be sous vide to 135 and served straight out of the bag.
Act like a piece of shite and you'll generally get treated like a piece of shite.

How people talk to LLMs is the new shopping cart test.

I assume that Cuba is next but I have no idea how administration will go about it but I'm sure the people are begging for it


Rumors are the military has provided several options, all of which would largely resemble storming the beaches of Normandy.

I'm not sure what the relevancy of one of them being a woman is. Why do they keep bringing that up?
UBI, especially high UBI is not compatable with human nature. I wouldn't expect an autistic technocrat like Musk to consider that.

From a business standpoint, have "best practices" always been such a thing?? It seems like there's so much pressure & scrutiny these days to use "best practices." There's little room for creativity



It's the end stage of capitalism. The drive for success and profitability is more important than the welfare of the individual or society at large. Food dyes and chemicals are a great example. The physical health of society at large be damned, colorful and ultra processed food just sells better.

I'm not proposing that there is a better economic system out there, but loosely restrained capitalism like we have in America and human nature are not compatible with each other over a length of time, and we're starting to see the end of the rope way off in the distance today.

If Artemis launches are going to be even close to on schedule, it seems like we're going to have to have a ton of action from SpaceX starting now. Going to be fun


Right. Artemis III only goes to low Earth orbit, but for Artimis IV Starship will need to go into low earth orbit and be refueled between 10 and 15 times with additional starship launches before heading to lunar orbit to meet up with Orion.

That's a lot of progress they need to make in the next 2 years, they will not perfect that at their current test rate.

If I'm being honest I expect Blue Origin will be selected for the initial lunar landings, just because they will beat Starship in getting to the moon.

You sound jealous. Did you catch your wife/boyfriend diddling themselves to his picture? Or did he/she call you Pete in the throws of passion?


He may be jealous, but he ain't wrong. Pete is a try-hard, intensely focused on his personal brand.

I’m unfamiliar with the circumstances but it seems to be an assault charge for pointing his service weapon at a subject during the performance of his duties so it sounds like complete and utter bullshite. I probably pointed my pistol or long gun at violators over 100 times in my career…and it was lawful for me to do so.


Not familiar with the case either so I'm not going to proclaim an opinion. If it's what the above quoted indicated then should be an easy dismissal of the charges. But there are more than a handful of ICE officers who are not good people, and legitimately cross the line in their physical treatment of people, illegal alien or not.

I might be alone in this but Link's Awakening is my favorite Zelda ever


It's in my top 5. I'd love to pick it up for my Switch2 but I can't bring myself to spend $60 on a game that's 7 years old for a previous system.
