  • Maybe this is a better question for degoogle@lemmy.ml, but:

    What's a good way to get off Google Photos and Drive on my phone? It looks like Proton seems like the right fit, but compared to Google One for $20/year, Proton for $120 seems like a bit much. I guess you're paying to not be the product? Although, shoot, my VPN auto-renewed for $100 a year, so I guess I'm already paying $120...

  • I liked Deep Rock. I started playing it during the pandemic with some friends instead of doing in-person board games (and Jackbox and boardgame simulators got old). I definitely ended up playing more single player than multiplayer. Buuut I probably haven't played it in a year? It just got really samey after getting through a lot of leveling up and unlocks.

  • The new batch of student loan forgiveness should help 3.6 million people.

    Inflation is slowing overall and some prices are "deflating".

    How is Joe Biden interfering with his son's cases? Can you give some examples?

    I think you're misrepresenting the Ukraine support, but another comment covered that.

    Doomers gonna doom. Are there any specific ways you would approach some of these problems differently?

  • My dad's VW Touareg could tow like 7700 lbs, which is more than a lot of trucks and easily enough to pull plenty of boats and campers. Even a compact SUV that can tow 3500 lbs can pull some boats and campers as long as people don't buy giant oversized versions of those, too.

  • Axiom seems the furthest along so far, so throw some more contracts their way to try to expedite things?

    I'm holding out hope that Vast and Gravitics are fast enough to bypass the whole Commercial LEO Destinations program and get their own stations up before Orbital Reef or StarLab.

  • Adding on to the planned reuse from other companies:

    Electron has reused 1st stage parts (engines, avionics?) but not a full 1st stage.

    Vulcan will only reuse the engine section, but won't debut with that functionality.

    New Glenn and Terran R will have Falcon 9 style 1st stage reuse.

    Neutron will have 1st stage + fairing reuse.

    The Stoke Nova is planned to be a fully reusable 2 stage rocket.

  • Seeing the pad improvements in action and all the 1st stage engines working through stage sep was such a relief. Hot staging working and the 2nd stage getting a mostly (?) successful burn was a great next step.

    Hopefully we're only a couple months away from IFT-3!

  • The Falcon 9 might be the safest rocket ever. It's at 200+ consecutive successful launches.

    Their groundbreakingly (heh) ambitious dev rocket just made a huge stride compared to the previous flight. If they can figure out what happened with the 2nd stage at the end, they can start launching Starlinks on these while trying to figure out recovery and reuse.

  • I want to die on Mars.

    Ideally not on impact!

    I want to live out my later years somewhere with low gravity (Orbit? Moon? Mars?) so I don't have to care about bad joints. I miiiight need to make a lot more money for that to happen in the next 40-50 years or so...

  • Are you talking about protesting by not voting or wasting a vote on a 3rd party? Without ranked choice voting, the only good spot for that is primaries and small local elections. The lesser of two evils is still the lesser of two evils. Life will be a hell of a lot worse for tons of people if the former guy wins again.
