  • I can shop at Costco for my family of two. There are a lot of bulk items that don't make sense for me to buy, but non-perishables and especially any electronics or big (for me) money items I try to buy from them

    I just say that because I hear a lot of people hesitant to shop there with the reason they won't be able to finish everything before it goes bad. But they sell a lot of household items and the lifetime guarantee is worth the membership cost by itself

    Also if you're an executive member you can add someone else for free! They don't even have to be in your household. I added a friend in need so they could get some necessities

  • It reminded me of a strange book I read when I was young, an 80s sci-fi I think was called "the wizard of sunset strip"

    I'd have absolutely believed this could have been a book by them

    When mutilated bodies begin turning up in Hollywood and the police are baffled, the young wizard Wydrune and his band--a beautiful cat burglar, a Cockney punk possessed by the spirit of Merlin, and Camelot's last survivor--take the case

  • It isn't! I don't remember which article it was, cbs I think (I'll edit the comment when I find it)

    But a detailed assessment of the health of the spacecraft and its payloads awaited analysis of telemetry. Finally, two hours after touchdown, the company reported that "after troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data. Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface."

  • They updated the article:

    Finally, a faint signal was picked up by a communications antenna in the United Kingdom, indicating the spacecraft had, in fact, survived the touchdown.

    "What we can confirm, without a doubt, is our equipment is on the surface of the moon, and we are transmitting," Mission Director Tim Crain told the flight control team. "So congratulations, IM team! We'll see how much more we can get from that."

    And then further down:
