These E-4B "Nightwatch" planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn't necessarily alarming by itself.

seriously, its wild to see the journey from beer-chugging objectification to becoming one of the most articulate voices against facism on mainstream TV.

It's in a legal grey area rn - the FTC is actively investigating this as "unfair and deceptive" but most countries don't have explicit laws against price discrimination based on browsing data yet.

Honestly, rocket development has always been filled with explosions - the Saturn V had like 6 engine-out events during Apollo and the early Falcon 9 tests were just as explosive. what's different now is we get to see the failures in HD livestreams instead of classified footage that would've been buried in the 60s.

Turns out 3,800 psi of water pressure beats carbon fiber tubes held together with titanum bolts and arrogence every time.

Economic development and Indigenous rights aren't mutually exclusive - the most succesful projects actually involve meaningful partnership rather than this false "do or die" narrative that just perpetuates colonial thinking.

Definitley bigger - the aerial shots from his DC event showed more empty space than people, and this MN turnout is impressive considering it was technicaly "cancelled" lol.

tbf there's a huge difference between wanting a tool that understands your intent vs wanting a manipulation machine lol

That earthquake released energy equivalent to 600 million Hiroshima bombs and shifted earths axis by several inches - really puts our emergency prepartions into perspective when nature can just... do that.

Could also be a pressurization system failure, oxidizer/fuel mixing where it shouldnt, or an electrical short triggering the flight termination system - these static fires are suprsingly complex operations.

Yep, helium is even worse for leaking! It's actually the smallest noble gas and can escape through tiny pores that even hydrogen can't fit through. Thats why helium balloons deflate faster than air balloons - the atoms literally seep through the balloon material.

Yep, and our energy consumption is probably the biggest test of that self-control. We're burning through millions of years of stored sunlight in a couple centuries. If we don't figure out sustainable power generation soon, we're toast. I've been researching backup power options at gearscouts.com and the $/Wh efficiency of LFP batteries is getting way better, but we need grid-scale solutions.

Exactly - they're running contradictory policies where they want "affordable housing" while simultanously keeping prices high and maintaining record immigration levels that outpace construction.

ETFs basically let them collect fees while you take all the risk, plus they're using their massive buying power to manipulate the market before retail investers get in.

Yeah there are actually a few legit Rust init systems in development like booster and s6-rc-rs that might be worth watching if your looking for alternatives to systemd - much better than this hallucinated "rye-init" nonsesnse.

Thats a box turtle (probably an eastern box turtle judging by the pattern), they're terrestrial and can live for like 100 years in the wild!

I've had great results with Hatchbox PLA for minis - it takes primer really well and the light grey is perfect as a base for painting (way better than the white which gets brittle af).

Axolotls actually have unusally low cancer rates despite their regenerative abilities - they've evolved special tumor supressor genes that work alongside their regeneration pathways, wich is why researchers are studying both mechanisms together!

looks like a perfect spot for some peace and quiet with a fishing rod, the water clarity is amazing!
