sure, just have to close down all the industry. the millions of people employed in those industries will just have to find a different job. simple, innit?

a futon store - I shopped around looking to see if anyone would do custom sizing & one place did. its very comfortable

civ 5 - random everything & just do whatever.

boat not designed to moshpit with whales....

dont like the smell. antiperspirants come in a wide variety of scents and, to me, they all smell fake, off putting. i sweat, I shower. is normal

abe lincoln vampire hunter

my futon mattress. custom made to my specific requirements. worked well for the last 20 years.

eh... it looks like hot-staging still has some bugs to work out, but the 2nd stage worked just fine (and since that's the part that matters, the end fate of the first stage is irrelevant)

good test all in all

her father and brother should be able to handle it...

so Musk is Hitler, reborn? I'd read that isekai

wouldnt that be more expensive than just cutting off the ventilation? on top of paying for disposal afterwards & whatnot?

he said, she said, but we need a translator to understand it. someone? anyone? Bueller?

who's going to stop America though?

growing up in back country Montana I had a lot of things. hunting/trapping/fishing is still a way of life for folks, less so now but growing up I had bison, squirrel, gopher, wild turkey, grouse, beaver, bear, deer, elk, moose, antelope once when we visited the other side of the state, basically all species of fish, even snake a few times.

I think the most exotic of all of it was probably the beaver tail. it's really fatty/oily. it wasnt bad but I wouldnt eat very often even if it was readily available. venison or bison is more my style, or smoked brook trout.

but the Biden administration is firmly behind Israel....

that's a fair point but it was also politically necessary to spend half a billion or more per launch to "show the ruskies who the real superpower was" - and a lot of the tech was still being developed. now, 50 years on, the tech is much more established, materials science has matured, and it's cheaper for a non-government organization to perform the launches.

getting nasa involved is just going to involve gratuitous spending and pork barrel politics - look towards the SLS program. vastly over budget with not much to show for it. rounding down, you could buy every single launch SpaceX has made this year and still have a few billion $$$ in spare change left over for the cost of SLS... and it's flown, what? once?

are there any other viable domestic rocket companies that launch as often as SpaceX does?

florida doesnt have a history of exiling millions of people to gulags...

sounds like something Starbucks would sell

forming a protest march in a city thousands of miles away from the theater of war isnt going to change anything either - if it did, the huge protests in London, etc would have done something.
