Tell them that the south has renounced the pope. That'll do it without further complications.

The company is impressive technically, I guess? I don't know really. Like I wrote before, Shotwell is running it, not Mr ego personified, so maybe the shine hasn't worn off like it did for Tesla and Twitter for some people?

I like what they've achieved, I think that it will motivate for ULA and Boeing to 'do better' and they've proved its possible to succeed at a number of rocket technologies that had been previously written off, like cost effective reusability and full flow staged combustion.

That said, I'm not going to be upset if ULA pulls ahead of them, or if Rocket Lab has a huge win, or if ArianeSpace decides that it's time to stop sitting on their hands. I'm a fan of space technology, and I don't particularly care which company advances the cause.

*Edit: motivate not moticate

What's that got to do with anything? SpaceX isn't traded and doesn't pay dividends.

Not the greatest example, imo.

SpaceX has been very consistent in delivering on its government contracts with far more cost efficiency than any of its competitors.

The most glaring example is the Commercial Crew Program. They were given far less money than Boeing, and it looks like they might end up being the sole US provider of commercial crew to the ISS.

Starship HLS (moon lander starship) is government funded, but core Starship is not, it's financed with private equity - so the rocket explosions haven't been on the taxpayers' dime.

That all said, Elon doesn't really run SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell does - which is probably the smartest business decision Elon has ever made.

How obvious is it that it's a bot?

Reminds me of an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, Game of Kings.

You can use version numbers, but it's on you to change them when new point releases drop.

I guess it's a good thing the Debian releases all have version numbers then.

What did you do to them?!

I un-licenced the Emily games from my steam library. The writing felt... arrogant? Like, it didn't matter what you chose you were wrong.

I know what consent is, I don't need a videogame to do things without mine and then rub it in my face.

It's good for bragging rights, but a u2955 Celeron Chromebook is better value for money.

I duct taped a RPi4 to the back of a Motorola Lapdock and used custom cables to make the combo into the worst laptop ever. If yours counts, mine does too. This is what the Lapdock looks like:

I've got a 500mhz Celeron from the P3 days, it runs OS/2 and has an ISA EPROM burner card in it.

The designers of the Tu-22 would like a word.

Sure looks like he's claiming that the team has been reduced from 4 to 1, not the 11 to 1 claimed above, and one was for customer support? Not to say it's insignificant, but doesn't sound like the train-smash originally portrayed.

Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.
