SpaceX's largest customer is the US government; once that relationship has been repaired I'm ambivalent about private/public ownership.

HMmmmM?

because let's be honest, without tons of US GOV'T SUPPORT, SpaceX wouldn't have ever been able to provide all those POPs, terminals and services. Funny thing that.

we’re not going to nationalize the entire economy because that’s really stupid.

Yes, that's why no one in this entire thread suggested anything even remotely close to this. it's stupid, and a stupid strawman.

Nationalizing spaceX temporarily in order to restore confidence in it's largest, most important customer, after that customer's trust has been repeatedly violated by the executive and the board that keeps him in power, is NOT NATIONALIZING THE ENTIRE ECONOMY nor would it be untoward if Boeing or Lockheed's CEO was dumb enough to engage in this bullshit.

how can you trust a board that trusts such incompetence, for DOD projects no less?

failure up and down.

this isn't incorrect. ULA is a fucking pork barrel of hideous proportions. doesn't mean we shouldn't nationalize spacex.

I've been saying this for years. the footprint that spaceX represents in national launch authority is out of whack to say the least.

and add a couple of frames to the sprite sheet in order to animate the scarf if that's required.

one, show up, please, on time please, but not like 3 hours early...

two, if you want food, bring food you want. if my snack supplies don't suit your palette.... that's not my problem to solve.

three, for gygax's sake remember, it's a game, a game, it's got chutes and ladders yo, it's not the instant gratification machine some think it is.

consider for a moment: in any pre-2016 administration, simply - even completely jokingly - referring to acquiring Canada and Greenland would probably be a scandal if not a career-ending disgrace.

It's so fucking cringe-stupid, when examined from any angle - diplomatic, logistical, tactical or strategic - much less humanitarian - so unutterably fucking half-witted - and is universally received that way except for conservatives, who have rigged the government through gerrymandering and vote tampering, so they are the only ones who could be shamed into doing something about HERR FUCKING MORON, and as we see time and again: Conservatives have no shame. They don't care what they look like, they can worry about that after they've installed a tyrant moron.

what an elaborate fantasy.

yup. hell no magic underwear either

this is where dm'ing is much more about storytelling and less about direct mechanics.

for example, in this case I'd let them attack the kraken, only for them to realize as the crossbow bolt sails up towards the eye, then down, into the sea... "Your weapon doesn't have the range, for shit's sake, the arms are hundreds of feet long, it's much larger and further away than you assumed." Block out a disengagement - it grabs a few villagers and smashes some stuff (roll for athletics to dodge flying debris) and is gone leaving a trail of slime and destruction to the sea before you know what's happened.

Now, when they follow the fucker to it's lair.... then it's on like donkey kong lol, stupidity can only survive so many attempts.

TY!

tho no mention of vladivostok in that link, which I think was the purpose of the person I replied to

lots of shit behind paywalls :|

they also hit vladivostok.

on the other side of the continent. all the way from europe to the end of asia.

SLAVA UKRAINE, goddamn

their ICBM fleet is poorly maintained - both land based and submarine launched; this event is a solid kick in the strategic nutsack.

SLAVA UKRAINE!

Are they all inhumane, or are the commanders and some of the most brutal soldiers?

just the ones committing war crimes and stealing appliances, but unfortunately they're indistinguishable from the rest.

anyone on that side that wants to survive this better find a way to surrender.

I call them orcs because of their inhumane behavior on the field of conflict.

And yeah, it'd be real, real bad for any poor ivan crossing that border.

115kV AC.

well, they can, once....
