I get that, but because the leak isn't even on the part of Starliner that will go through reentry, whether or not it will impact its ability to survive the return trip shouldn't be in question.

Wanted to clarify again since I wasn't specific earlier. The capsule itself is airtight, no danger there. What's leaking is helium, which is kept in compressed tanks in the service module and used to pressurize the reaction control system thrusters. The tanks aren't leaking though, it sounds like the leak is somewhere between the tank and the thrusters, which is what needs to be researched.

Just to be clear on this again, they aren't "stuck" because they're in danger, the stay keeps getting extended so engineers can gather as much information as possible about the leaks before they return. Starliner is still fully capable of reentry, but this is Boeing's last chance to collect data that can be used to fix these issues in the future. The leak problem is in Starliner's service module, which detaches from the capsule before reentry and burns up in the atmosphere, so there won't be anything left to study after the astronauts return.

It's a troll account made an hour ago

Haha I came here to insult the Samsung keyboard but you've already done my job

I dunno man some of these AI memes are 👌🔥

This guy:

Schools have lists of approved models for standardized test taking. If students (the largest market) can't use your calculator, making one is probably not going to be profitable.

Definitely not long enough for me to sit on the couch and play in the living room. I had to get a bluetooth adapter for that.

Sounds like solid life advice tbh

It's totally possible to do without the suite! With my free Gmail account and my domain registered through cloudflare, I have a custom email address for just the cost of the domain. I have the custom email set as an alias in Gmail, and Cloudflare does routing.

Any chance they move to the fediverse?

It was just a packaging thing, supposed to keep the ice cream from melting down your hand while you held it on a stick. As you ate, you'd slide the tube down and push more ice cream out of the top.

huh I somehow missed that news too

I just noticed this today. Do we know why?

I don't know how far things have come since the aptly named Acer AH101-D8EY, but that was the last time I tried to be "productive" in VR and it was absolutely not working.

Does this statistic account for Hannah Montana Linux?

Shinji and Kaworu

IIRC, these things exist to exploit a legal loophole around vehicle registration in Japan as well. Safety is not the highest concern lol

Do they have a case here? Are they entitled to have that money returned if they paid it out already?
