Newsom is positioning himself to run for President in 5 years. While I appreciate his enthusiasm and all, and love his attacks on DeSatan, I think he should be spending this time fixing CA's many, many problems.
California is already a lightning rod for conservative hate, and honestly, much of it is legitimate. He needs to go back home and start fixing those problems and give Republicans less fodder in 2028. If he can fix those issues, he's almost a sure-thing.
If you weren't so utterly braindead, you'd understand that if the cost to bring tourists up to space drops, that drops the cost to bring more scientists and equipment up to space as well which would lead to a massive growth in discoveries.
Except that you are so caught up in your tiny little world of hate, that you can't possibly expand it enough to understand that things cost money, and thus reducing what things cost, makes it that much better for institutions like NASA. One of the single biggest concerns of setting up a new space telescope or sending a rocket to a comet or a trip to Mars is money. It isn't the only concern, but it is a massive one. Driving down those costs by increasing a launch schedule, trying out reusable rockets and investing a bunch to allow space tourism, helps everything space-related.
You're not smart enough to come back here and admit how wrong you were.
Yeah it is expensive, but like a lot of things, it is as expensive as yiu want it to be. Can you go hog wild and spend many thousands? Absolutely. Do yiu need to? No, definitely not.
I've noticed this trend as well. These far-left people hate the ultra rich so much that they are demonizing the whole idea of space tourism. It's infuriating because just like nearly everything else, development costs are very high and only early adopters can really afford the latest bleeding edge products.
Do these people think that some 50" 4K TV today could be had for just a few hundred bucks, if they weren't going for many thousands 5 years ago? That's simply how the breakdown of costs works out. You need rich people to buy into something at low volumes, so the masses can afford those things at higher volumes but lower prices in the future.
Musk and Bezos absolutely are douchebags, but realize that without their space companies, we'd be decades away from regular space travel. I love NASA and all, but their goal is space exploration, not space tourism. We need the ultra rich to pay for the development of space tourism to drive down costs.
As a big "car guy" as well as an engineer, I completely agree that cars are over-engineered these days.
My parents are getting up there in age, and my mother has been saying she wants a new car. My dad already doesn't drive, just to give yiu an idea on their age. So my mother wants to replace her 2014 Subaru with something slightly bugger and higher up to make it easier for her to get in and out, and new cars are so complicated I'm having a hard time picking a car for her.
Similar deal with an uncle. He recently bought a Rav4 and the car just does not stop beeping and buzzing and has a ton of extra features that are supposedly to make it safer, but ultimately make driving it much less safe because it distracts the driver. This particular uncle isn't even that old, but he's not particularly tech-savvy.
On top of the over-engineered mess that modern cars are, there is also the latest money-grab from car makers. They are trying to turn basic features into subscriptions. BMW infamously started making heated seats a subscription. So they install the heating elements in every car, but to activate them, yiu have to pay them $X/year. They got so much blowback from that nickle and diming of their customers that they've since walled back on that policy a little, but make no mistake about it, the idea will be coming back as more customers are fooled into accepting it.
Not claiming that there aren't a ton of people who are into RC trucks,but no one I know is into them. Bought one about a year ago and had a blast bashing it around on the beach. It's always cool to see others with similar interests and all the times I took it out, never saw anyone else into it.
He's only a war criminal if convicted in a court of law.
No, I'm not defending Putin in the slightest bit, I'm simply stating that just because people across the globe have labelled him as a war criminal, doesn't automatically make that official.
I'd like to think that when people in the center and on the left look at stories like this they realize how little our differences are compared to the lunatics on the right. I'd love to see liberals and centrisfs finally fall in-line and combine to fight these fascist fucks, but then I wake up and realize it will never happen.
Watch the video and don't listen to the stupid headline.
I'm sure there were some boos, but that first video shows that this traitor has a disgusting amount of support still. The simple fact that anyone is still cheering for this criminal is downright scary, even if it isn't all that surprising.
When they replay this story on Fox, they are going to amplify the cheering even further.
This is one of the more fascinating space stories. The modeling for such an object should be (relatively speaking), rather simple. Something isn't going to speed up or slow down without a force being applied to it. So NASA should be able to model this quite accurately.
In my younger days,I was so quick to say "cool,I want one" and before I even came up with a need for it, i'd zlready have one on order. Bought so much useless junk that way. I stopped doing that years back.
I think in this case, I might make an exception. I design stuff for a living, but it's all (or mostly) mechanical. Just to mess around more with the electronics side of things, I might build one eventually.
I think Popeyes or Wendy's was advertising some ghost pepper sandwich recently and it was decent and had a little bit of a kick, but it was far from being hot. Same thing with various "hot" chips.
If it is a mass market brand I have very low expectations when it comes to spice level. If it had the slightest vit of a kick, I'm surprised.
Oooo this looks cool as hell! I've always wanted to design my own robotic arm but the electronics part always intimidated me.
The link that OP mentioned looks like they are trying to sell you various components. Also the gripper is a separate item altogether. While it says it is Open, if yiu have to buy that PCB, it seems less interesting. I figured it would be running off a raspberry Pi or something like that.
Apple, then Samsung.
