The monkey was clearly a highly trained intelligence operative

A rocket is not fundamentally new and hasn’t been for almost 100 years.

Rockets perform correctly when they deliver their payload to the correct orbit.

You can calculate the energy density of fuels, the efficiency of your engines at various atmospheric pressures, and determine the payload size you can deliver with your engines and fuel. Blowing up rockets for “tests” is so 1950s. We have whole college programs on rocket design. We have desktop computers more powerful than anything available in the 1960s, and NASA managed to design the Saturn V, a rocket of similar size to starship, with the computers of the time and fucking slide rules. The Saturn V had its problem, but each rocket managed to deliver its payload and perform its part of the mission without blowing up.

Your comment is classic tech bro. No understanding of real engineering principles and only a desire to shove some shit out of the door as fast as possible.

Ah, the trauma of every Bethesda RPG player.

There are game studios out there that don’t release broken garbage that needs the player to walk on eggshells, backup saves, and do arcane console commands to make the game playable.

Idk, I feel that’s okay as long as the saves are incredibly frequent and reliable.

I’ve never lost progress in a From Software game for instance, and they have an only auto save system, but it saves literally everything you do as soon as you do it, so unless you deliberately alt-F4 instantly after doing something, you won’t lose any progress.

I can no longer report ads on my phone.

I kept reporting ads that were obvious scams(buy my book to get rich, this thing will make your PP hard and your girl squirt like a fountain, etc)

Now I don’t get the three dots on ads.

So I guess YouTube likes the scam ads?

Do YouTubers like having AI narrated dick pill ads in front of their videos?

Good news, it’s completely non toxic.

Bad news, it costs 2 million dollars per square foot.

The pentagon will now take your whole paycheck.

Thank you for your support, patriot.

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.

No, but your government probably does.

Or is this too abstract a concept to extrapolate.

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.

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.

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.

Well that’s the thing, conventional explosions convert chemical bonds into energy. Chemical bonds are fairly weak in the grand scheme of things.

Nuclear weapons convert nuclear bonds into energy. Atoms really like staying the atoms they currently are, so forcing them to convert all at once releases a ton of energy.

Nukes are crazy.

The mushroom cloud is actually caused by all the dust and debris that gets sucked up into the actual explosion.

Nuclear reactions happen at near light speed, and the heat from them does propagate at light speed.

The blindness thing is really only for a split second while the fission/fusion is actually happening. By the time the mushroom cloud has formed, the actual explosion was like 30 seconds ago.

If you see a full mushroom cloud, that means the glass in front of you is probably going to rapidly accelerate into your skull when the shockwave hits you.

We must return to the ocean.

Accept the crab form, embrace it and all the limbs we shall gain.

My phone only has one hole and it’s way too small for me to use that way.

Your mileage may vary though, I don’t judge.

That’s also why they got rid of my all time favorite candies: sour altoids.

Unrelated, but I had constant raw flesh on the top of my mouth for almost a whole year before those got pulled from the shelves.

You like a little baggy of dongles and adapters?

Is way better to draw your finger perpendicular to the edge to feel the burr. That way you don’t cut yourself on the edge or the burr itself.
