I'm not talking about people who just want Boeing to fail, I'm talking about the ones who think the best path to changing things is if they publicly kill two astronauts. eg. See the "morally gray" comment below

Call me crazy but hoping for two innocent astronauts to die on the off-chance things improve isn't something I would consider morally gray.

Yeah that's right, they've decided to not use one of the 5 again because of performance inconsistencies.

The people in every one of these Starliner threads seemingly hoping for the worst case scenario to occur just so they can dunk on Boeing for it are disturbing

Completely untrue. There are currently only 3 human-rated spacecraft docked to the ISS and none of them are set aside as some sort of emergency capsule. There's no trickery here. The number of astronauts on board is equal to the number of seats available for them to ride back home in. The only reason they aren't stranded is because Starliner is still fully capable of undocking and taking them home whenever necessary. If it wasn't, then they would actually be stranded with no alternative way back beyond straping them to the floor of Dragon.

I think it's the NES for me too. It was my dad's, and he kept it in good condition. He mostly only had sports games for it though, and Super Mario Bros. I've heard the NES came with a combo cart for SMB and Duck Hunt, but we don't have Duck Hunt and Mario is on its own cartridge. We also don't have a R.O.B. I have no idea what that says about what time period or in what package combo he might have bought the NES.

Most recently, I got a copy of Super Mario Bros 3 and I've been playing through that. I also still like buying new games for it whenever someone like Limited Run publishes them. When I was there last, I bought Alwas Awakening and it sure feels wild to be playing a game on the NES that's also sold on Steam.

Sometimes I would turn the DS off as a child when he popped up just to try to get a less annoying dialog on the next go-round

No, there's only one Soyuz from the Russian side of things, and its seats are spoken for

What's good this time around? In my cart so far I have Until Then, Disco Elysium, and MS Flight Simulator.

Pacific Drive is in there now too.

As it turns out, eels don't grow their testes until mating season, which is why Freud was unable to find them.

I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way (My own way) 🎶

It's opt-in because it's a beta

It's not designed to like Starliner, but Dragon can in emergency situations. Starliner has airbags to cushion it on touchdown, but Dragon doesn't so it would probably be a much rougher landing for the astronauts.

Neil Gaiman?

Yes it is actually! When it finally returns, this Starliner will be landing in New Mexico at the White Sands Space Harbor, which is basically a backup space shuttle landing strip.

That's fair. I'm not exactly testing their endurance, just use them for YouTube and podcasts, so it's likely they've degraded quite a bit without me noticing.

This headline makes me think maybe AI isn't as useless as I once thought

What's wrong with OneUI? I like it more than stock Android these days. I know TouchWiz was the worst and most bloated Android skin out there when they were still using it, but ever since the switch to OneUI, stock Android has been playing catch-up implementing its features.

I would never praise these things, but I've been using the same pair for 5 years now. Why would they become e-waste so quickly?

This is a good point. It's definitely a possibility something catastrophic could happen like that, but the small scale of the leaks and amount of extra helium on board makes it very unlikely at least.
