We have a similar problem in Canada. Our "far left" is the NDP and they've run the same guy since 2017. He's not going to win, every election he's done worse. But there's no other candidates or something.

NESW

Not Everyone Wins Sayings

Not Everyone Wants Sausage

I wondered...

The elections are short, but we've known the candidates a long time. De Dluca was elected leader shortly before the election and no one knew who he was and he totally tanked.

*see, I even got his name wrong. Del Duca.

Maybe they flushed and went back to work. Or sleep. Or are back country camping.

I heard somewhere that all the money raised for the Biden/Harris campaign would stay with Harris if she ran for president.

I don't know if that's true, or what would happen to the money if they both drop out but I heard someone say that.

Have a gander at Roger Stone He looks like he's about to run a highway through Toon Town.

ITAR restricts a lot of jobs to American nationals.

Downvote it first, the upvote. Then they get two!

Love the launcher, hate the payload?

Starlink will never be orbital trash in any meaningful way

You're right. They'll be atmospheric pollution. That's what "burn up on reentry" means.

I'd like to see what people's reactions would be if we put all the 6,219 starlink satellites in a pile on the ground and lit them on fire. Would they say "fuck yeah! Fast internet!" or would they say "are you out of your mind?"

And they plan on having 12,000 or something each lasting about 5 years.

Do you know what all those puffy clouds coming out of the engines at engine cut off and start up are? Kerosene or methane and oxygen. Do you know what injecting methane and kerosene into the upper atmosphere does to the planet? No, no one does because it wasn't ever a problem when there were 5 launches a year. Now that there's 5 launches a month we're getting to the find out stage.

Same with starlink. What does aerosolized aluminum (and whatever else is "just burning up" on reentry) do to the upper atmosphere? When there were one or two satellites a year how would you know? Now that there's several a month (20 in the last launch that didn't make it up) we'll find out.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say none of that will prove beneficial to life on earth. But yeah, the rocket is pretty cool.

Take it one further, don't use starlink.

I thought that spacex was "incredibly important" once. Now I realize it's a fast track to a more fucked earth. By the time we get to "planet B" "planet A" is going to be a fiery ball of shit.

Don't fret, I do.

He did it... for Johnny. This is like that movie Citizen Kane where you later find out Rosemary was a sled, but we'll never find out who Johnny is, cause, like, he's dead.

Context It's quite prescient because he did indeed catch the bullet right in the ear.

If you live in a world where spear rhymes with prayer.

And when it's ten o'clock in Toronto, it's 1980 in rural Canada. She's still here and still serving.
