Unfortunately, it’s a lot harder to rigorously test something than it is to shit a new product out into the wild with no regard for its impact.

The main issue, although there were many, was that the engines could not be test fired.

The engines used ablative nozzles, so once you started the engine, the nozzle would be consumed, and any test fired engine would have to be completely rebuilt. So, the soviets only tested engines from each batch, I think it was something like 1 in 4 or 1 in 6 engines were tested. That sounds reasonable until you realize the N1 first stage consisted of 30 engines.

There was basically no way to tell if they’d built a bomb or a rocket until they lit it off. Turns out they built a bomb every time.

Multiple outlets including LTT and Gamers Nexus have debunked this.

The only thing you may have to do if you notice unusual performance is reapply thermal paste to the GPU, and that’s only because most thermal paste will dry out after years of sitting around or being used

If you don’t have good looks, that’s one thing, you can’t really change that.

But then if you don’t look good and you can’t try to hold a conversation, that’s your problem.

Learn to speak, it’s not hard. go talk to people and gain some confidence. All this talk about poor socialization or being unattractive and creepy just demoralizes people that I’m sure could actually make friends and meet spouses if they didn’t preemptively pull themselves out of the situation before they gave themselves the chance

Met my wife online during the pandemic.

Dated a fair few women before her, meeting online and in real life.

I’m not super attractive, and pretty awkward, but I always make the effort to be polite and actually listen instead of waiting to talk, you’d be amazed how far that actually gets you.

That’s why they target children.

Children can’t tell when they’re being scammed

Could you see out of the back?

So many Florida plates here in Chicago that dive around with the whole back and side windows covered in snow. We’ll, not this year because of climate change, but last year was terrible.

Pro tip: if you can’t see out of the car, don’t drive it.

MFW, Chicago pizza prices are higher than Germany and people are saying Europe has the most expensive pizzas, while other Americans are paying less than $10 for a pie.

Oil is mainly from plants that dyed million of years before dinosaurs even existed, before the bacteria and fungus that break down plants and wood evolved.

That’s why it’s a finite resource. You need all of that organic matter, unbroken by chemical digestion, to be heated and crushed for millions of years.

No, but your government probably does.

Or is this too abstract a concept to extrapolate.

Earth will become uninhabitable way before the sun explodes.

Last estimate I read was like 500 million years before the sun gets hot enough to start negatively effecting the water cycle, and then it just gets dryer and more inhospitable from there.

Of course, we’re artificially making things hotter way faster than that, so probably a few hundred years before large mammals have a hard time maintaining homeostasis due to the temperature.

Maybe we’ll get dinosaurs 2.0 and they’ll have enough time to get smart enough to realize we used all of the cheap energy and doomed them to die on a hot, barren rock.

Fantastic, because we all know facial ID has no problems identifying non-white people.

I can see it now: Idris Elba getting picked up by the feds because O’Hare fired this thing up and recorded 700 Idris Elba’s All boarding different flights using different names.

I mean, you never owned your passport, ever.

If you look at the very first page, it says “ property of the US government” and then there’s some blurb about tampering being a felony.

Same thing for a diver’s license. You don’t own it, your state does.

I do agree that moving to digital identification is a huge mistake. It’s too easy to lose access to a digital device or account. Or have it spoofed in some way. I’d much rather have a physical ID that won’t run out of battery or have a glitch that makes accessing it impossible for an unknown length of time.

Ah yes, people love it when another person has such a weak constitution that they can’t handle the smell of incredibly common drinks

I’d rather be assumed attractive than to remove all doubt.

Go hangout at a Starbucks in a target if you want to meet women, they’re certainly not going to wander into your bedroom.

As a married man, I gotta say you’re probably selling yourself short or have unrealistic expectations of a partner.

Remember that whoever you’re going to date is a person, not a robot. People are not quantifiable. One day they may be a dick, the next they may be pleasant. Some people are willing to compromise and others aren’t. Man, woman, or other, it doesn’t matter. If you’re not willing to compromise something, you’re never going to find someone.

Sadly, there would be no reaction mass.

All that would happen is the lcd panel would boil and crack, and the processor would overheat soon after because nothing is carrying away the heat.

No one was jamming the Russian space shuttle, or shooting missiles at it.

It’s one thing to have an autonomous landing program on an aircraft, it’s another thing entirely to have a program that can react to surface to air missiles, enemy jamming, and over the horizon air to air missiles.

Elon musk is an idiot if he thinks a drone can replace all of the capabilities of even an F22, let alone the F35, which is a multi-role aircraft capable of handling all of the above and more. The F35 can jam, do reconnaissance, network with friendly fighters to fire over the horizon missiles, and drop bombs that weigh 1000 times what a drone can carry. Was it a good use of tax dollars considering the budget overruns? Probably not. But can it be replaced by drone swarms? Hell no. The F35 is an unmatched weapons platform, that’s why nato countries have been buying them.

I’ve just accepted that no matter how much I try to save, or what kind of job I get, the economy will explode every ten years and I’ll get shafted.

Who needs to retire anyway.

You think a billionaire that spends most of his “very busy” schedule tweeting nonsense cares to read the news?

There’s probably a dedicated intern that gives him daily briefings while Musk scrolls twitter for a new Nazi to retweet. The intern knows better than to upset the Muskrat, and keeps news about Tesla issues to a minimum.
