Yeah, I’m sure that’s an unfortunate truth, but I also don’t know that NASA should be getting into what will undoubtedly be more militaristic operations in space, because the world sucks, so why not make space suck too. And NASA doesn’t suck.

I was thinking spā-SĒ-men.

They sure had some nice uniforms though.

They deal a lot with satellites. There’s 10k+ US satellites in orbit, and a ton of non-US ones as well. It’s legit, and it makes sense to branch off a bit.

Yeah, then just their spouses will work for the oil, tech, or war companies.

I do agree with everything you said, I just also know they’ll slime their ways to paydays one way or another.

Where I live, lawyers go on to be judges, preside over landmark cases, leave the bench, and go work in that industry for the people they presided in favor of. We live in joke world.

It doesn’t have the same ring, you know? And 911 being the emergency number here in the US, it was a real double whammy for us way back then.

That’s barely enough room for spaghetti! I won’t stand for this!

The fork is the part that bothers me the most. So much handle, so little tine.

Wouldn’t be Lemmy without someone going off the rails in the comments.

Was with you til the end there. I use the personal blocklist extension, and I got it specifically for pinterest. It’s grown to include others, but Pinterest was the beginning.

Yeah, my wife scooped up two black cats off the street and brought them home 12 years ago. One, Rudi (RIP) was the temperamental one, she would come lay on your lap but if you brushed her too many times she’d get pissed off. The other, Bruce Willis, is the coolest motherfucker alive, a real credit to his namesake. Rudi might go as far as my porch, but Bruce is a neighborhood wanderer.

That being said, Bruce has been in fights with other animals many times sometimes winning, sometimes losing, always really loud and in the middle of the night and I have to wake up and sort things out. Rudi got in one fight because we forgot her on the porch. Poor Rudi. She would later swallow something and it killed her. She was a pain in the ass but we still loved her.

Now, House has different theme songs depending on where it was originally broadcast. I watched first run in the US and enjoyed Teardrop (and Massive Attack are awesome, them and Portishead, with that triphop sound), and then my wife and I threw an episode on a decade later and it had some weird knockoff tune instead of Teardrop.

Billy Strings is my Bluegrass pass, guy’s phenomenal.

Has me wondering if underground infrastructure is an issue. I see shrubs in pots, which is what eventually happens when people are told to plant trees and they can’t because there’s “too much shit underground.” I’m paraphrasing of course, but that’s the gist of it.

Blame someone else for everything, probably.

I would be okay with it if it was all leading to a post-money society and it allowed art and trchnooogy to be created for whomever to access. But it ain’t, someone else is just getting rich off it.

Gonna have to settle for keys, I guess.

I’ve straight up shown my kids how to do this and they still don’t get it.

I have not shown them LotR, in print or screen format, yet. They need to get the trick first.

Aren’t exams in person? I know board certification exams are written and in person in front of, believe it or not, a board. I just can’t imagine cheating your way through knowing that, at the end of the tunnel, it’s going to be just you.

Maybe I’m just old though.

Well, gonna be real gay when that transgender protagonist is now in a romantic scene with a dude.
