It’s at the bottom of Google’s first page too

Don’t you have to touch the bow above the thing raising the strings to play the violin…?

I sense you’re trying to spin this in favor of one presidential candidate over the over.

Fuck Trump and all his MAGAts for a million reasons.

When it comes to Israel, they own the leadership of the WH, the HOR, the senate and the MOD, regardless of political affiliation. USA (and most of Europe) is currently Israel’s bitch, regardless of who’s supposedly at the wheel.

Open wide, America, Bibi’s balls are getting dry and your taxpayer dollars are the saliva that will moisturize them

I’m Greek and I always thought it’s derived from the words olo (whole, entire) and kafsi (to burn) so as to mean something that burns completely. A quick Google search seems to confirm this but I’m admittedly not an expert on the matter

The Saturn V could lift 141t to LEO…once. Also it’ll be at least another 5 years before we reach a stable max power version of Starship.

For example the Falcon 9 v1.0 first flew in 2010 and the current Block 5 version first flew in 2018 with more than double the LEO capacity when fully expendable.

If they configure Starship as fully expendable it can lift 250t to LEO (per SpaceX, so grain of salt there to be fair).

As for the shuttle, I love it to bits and I’m sad it had to be grounded. It was refurbishable but not really reusable and the massive liquid fuel tank was discarded in each flight.

That can’t be right! 2016 was just… Fuck I’m getting old so fast

Disclaimer: Fuck Elon Musk and all the shady shit he’s been pulling off.

That said, this is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen in terms of the potential it holds to shape the future.

Up until 5 short years ago we had:

• No main booster recovery
• No rocket nearly as powerful as this one
• No successful flight of a full-flow stage engine
• Nobody even considering the catch with chopsticks thing
• No private company testing super heavy lift vehicles (BO is about to enter the chat as well)
• No push for reusability at all

This was all built on top of the incredible engineering of NASA, but this one launch today has all of the above ticked.

This is like making the first aeroplane that’s able to land and be flown again. SpaceX uses this example as well, like, imagine how expensive any plane ticket would have to be if you had to build a brand new A380 every single time people wanted to fly and then crashing it into the sea.

Going to space is EXPENSIVE. If this program succeeds it will both massively reduce the cost to space and spin off hundreds of companies looking to do the same in various ways.

Look at any new rocket currently in development, they all include some level of reusability in the design and that’s all thanks to the incredible engineers of SpaceX paving the way, first with Falcon 9 and now with Starship.

We’re talking industrial revolution levels of progress and new frontiers in our lifetimes, which is very, very exciting.

Mao Nodong

People are scared. Most employers will prefer hiring friends and relatives and all their families rather than skilled workers. You do what you can, I know many people living paycheck to paycheck. They just can’t afford to revolt.

Thankfully there are unions that help workers organize, but in many sectors you’re discouraged from joining one.

Retaliatory tactics are all too common. Your life is made miserable within the workplace (if you don’t get fired) and then good luck being hired somewhere else in the same field.

You can be fired after a year without a severance package for no reason.

Where I work now we’re short staffed on pretty much every department and yet we won’t offer higher wages to attract new hires, cause then you’d need to raise the wages of the tenured people as well.

Instead, you squeeze the everloving shit out of whoever stays for the same money as the last 5 years while inflation is still soaring.

Greek here.

I and many thousands of people like me have already been working 6 or 7 day weeks for years now. I’ve worked 50 hours this past week (no paid overtime either) and I’ve done 70 hour weeks this year, but not regularly, so I’m actually one of the lucky ones.

The only difference this makes is legalizing it so boss can’t be sued or fined.

I’ve been in IT for a few years and I’ve changed companies a few times. I just checked my login creds for various systems of 3 previous employers and like half of them still work. Unfortunately it’s a lot more common than any IT department would like to admit

Those look like skateboard bearings to me, they are quite common. A relatively high quality set of 8 bearings is like 15 bucks if you have a skateshop nearby

I agree with the Israeli spokesperson. “Targeting uninvolved parties” is their thing, Ireland can’t just storm in by force and appropriate it, that’s also Israel’s thing

Alright, fair enough.

“Half of US adults say they’re fine with what Israel has so far done in Gaza”

Alternative title: Half of US adults say Israel hasn’t gone far enough in war in Gaza

They upload almost all the show in segments on YouTube a few hours later, though I don’t know if that’s geolocked in the US.

If it is just get a VPN and set it to Spain or something.
