What else is new?

They aren't doing anything illegal. Securing Federal buildings and protecting Federal officers is not illegal

Not sure what Gaz has been doing. I've been on Chuck Joiner's Macvoices a few Times as well as Dave Ginsburg's In Touch with iOS

Really sorry about this. Tim does the RSS and actual posting. Not our fault, not his fault. He needs time to get better and a podcast isn't worth risking his health

Hey! Cograts! You've managed to take your TDS to an all new level! Keep looking for new and creative ways to insert him into other non-appropriate ways

That's a really stupid idea

You don't HAVE to but if you feel you must, go ahead. Meanwhile regular people who don't let the whirygigs of either party obsess their every thought will try to get a good night's sleep.

So...who was it?

If he changes his name he would

So if you get married, don't change your name. If you already have, you may need to bring all three. Just like your husband would if he changed his name.

This is Kismet. One of our two rescue tabbies

So you just made stupid crap up. Interesting, off to blockland for you.

Space launches need to keep going. Whether or not Musk is or is not actually a governmental or quasi employee isn't the point. I'm likely about to lose my job soon if things keep going this way, but I don't defend him. I want launches to be safe and SpaceX is the best candidate
comment in response to
post
We're talking about launch systems. Ones that are safe and reliable. Who else is there? Name a company that can do it better and as cost effective as SpaceX.
You keep dancing around it. WHO else is there? I would love it if there were good alternatives, but right now there really isn't

So again, who would you have chosen?

SpaceX is the most reliable, cost efficient, and safest way to get people and cargo into space.

Shrug, the game? Unimportant except as a way to connect with his father who was also a good player and to develop his broom skills which as a plot mover became very important

That a company with a proven track record for safely and economically delivering payloads to space would be the leading contractor for doing so? Who would you have picked?

Reading the article, it doesn't sound like they were doing a very good job

It likely always was

What time specifically? Local (to the ships in the attack fleet)? Target time? DC time? Other than the aircraft, what other assets? What is the specific target (other than generic Yemen)?
None of this is good, but the ferocity and hyperbole is overblown

Well if they want an American built SUV there's not too many good choices. The Rivian, Chevy Equinox, Hummer. The Tesla SUV with gull wing doors isn't practical and is more expensive. It really comes down to the Rivian and the Chevy

How did he put an end to it? Are there bad consequences for still celebrating it? Couldn't read the article since it's behind a info/pay wall.

Mainly because of SpaceX, the cost per kg has dropped significantly. Look it up - 2000 to 2024. It's getting cheaper, with less resources required, and safer.

Landing boosters isn't something NASA has ever done. 3 Falcons failed out of 458. Yes early models failed as they worked to get it right. That's what's happening with Starship, but other than those 3 failures, the rest successfully delivered, so few lost payloads, No Starship has carried payloads
comment in response to
post
Falcon - 99% success rate (455/458 launches)
Cost per kg to a fraction of what it used to be.
Starship - 50% success rate with 8 launches.
New methodology including multiple use of main booster being tested and created.
Does anyone have a beyond LEO launch system tested and safe for humans?
comment in response to
post
Sorry, meant to say WITHOUT testing
comment in response to
post
How do they make it safe with full scale testing? No one currently has a proven safe beyond LEO craft capable of carrying humans.

because SpaceX isn't a govt agency?

SpaceX isn't part of the govt

So Bill Clinton forged the deal, Ukraine attacked in 2014 as Obama did nothing, invaded in 2022 and Biden sent money and weapons and somehow this is now Trump’s fault

What? Jabs with you? Easiest task I'll have all day. You aren't THAT bright so it's not super taxing. However I do have to move on. So go ahead, get your last little comment in. I don't want you to get all flustered (happens SO easily to your type). Rest assured I will read it, but won't reply.

Well not yet. But man what a ride! Enjoyed the hell out of it. Too bad there's nothing left for oldies before their time like you! Hey I'm sure Soylent Green will be great.

Used to in the 70s all the time. Decided it wasn't worth the lack of clarity. You'll get there someday assuming you don't start drooling in your diapers!

Not at all! Enjoying our litlle tete-a-tete! I mean, I'm not the one calling for mass murder of just certain types of people. Ya know being old and all, can't remember what they called the last group of people that wanted that for a final solution. Maybe you can help me out.

Sure thing Skippy! I'm sure they'll get right on that! May God (the Christian one since you MUST believe) and JESUS fill you with the heavenly spirit as nothing you truly desire happen and you flail around foaming at the mouth!
