Have you never heard of tunes?
Any idiot can make substantial software changes to almost any modern car with easily available inexpensive hardware. Look up Cobb, ECUtek, openflashtablet, Hondata, etc
You literally just plug it into a port and flash the software
And fifth/sixth derivatives are crackle and pop because some physicists thought it would be funny to have it be “snap crackle and pop”
Oldest F-16 I have seen in the air is no more than 50 years old. Oldest biplane I have seen flying was over 100 years old
Ergo, wood and canvas is the superior construction method
I spent most of my 20s doing grassroots campaigning, with a large part of it being protest planning and organization. You generally do not need a permit to conduct protests on public property, even large ones, in the USA.
The exceptions are very specific; i.e. blocking roads may require a permit.
Businesses seeing a drop in revenue as a result of a random patchwork organized online effort for a temporary boycott won’t have any effect?
No it won’t. This just means people buy the stuff the another day and is absolutely meaningless to their bottom line
Absolutely.
I lived a lot like this during the 2008 recession. I was always looking for work, but there was none to be had. So we spent all day watching arthouse DVDs from the library, having sex, cooking, making art, and talking philosophy in our 250 square foot apartment. At times, it was truly beautiful.
However, there came a time after a year or so where the money really ran out and we got evicted. The relationship imploded and it all went to shit.
My takeaway is that, for long term happiness, stability is important too.
If you wanted it spelled right, you should have talked to an englisher
The natural lifecycle of the Jedi Master is to retire on some remote planet to become a depressed asshole hermit, just as Yoda did before.
To me, The Last Jedi rejects the constant stream of fan service in most new Star Wars films to return to the roots of the series. IMO, it’s by far the best of the sequel movies.
On the ULA engine topic, New Glenn was announced and BE-4 was under development years before they won the contract with ULA
My issues with BO are more about their whole “business” model being noncompetitive, either through lawsuits
Say what you want about this, but most major government procurement contracts involve some sort of legal battles. Kinda the name of the game. I was working the contract on the NASA side when it happened and the space enthusiasts blew it way out of proportion.
or the megabillionaire owner paying for everything and underbidding and winning contracts that should go to real companies, like Rocket Lab, Stoke, Astrobotic, etc.
You mean, like, how SpaceX underbid for HLS?
In any case, this is just plain wrong. Blue generates bids that they expect to turn a profit, they just have far better facilities and economies of scale than everyone else besides SpaceX.
Still hilarious to have “theelonmusketeers” posting memes making fun of Blue right after SpaceX has a high profile RUD
Honestly, spaceX fans taking issue with Blue is a bit silly in general. There’s plenty of market demand to go around and more suppliers could only help the future of human space flight
Meanwhile, New Glenn flew the same day starship was raining debris from a failed second stage…
A well made pour over will be every bit as “good” as a well made espresso. It’s also way less demanding in terms of equipment and technique.
Making an espresso on par with the best coffee shops requires a great deal of skill/experience and thousands of dollars in equipment. If you don’t have the skill or equipment, straight espresso is usually pretty disgusting.
You can make a phenomenal pour over with a YouTube video and $150 in gear.
However, they’re different styles of drinks. A pour over is much less concentrated and doesn’t have the crema/body of espresso.
That’s where a lot of American nuclear assets are. Silos, mount cheyenne, etc
A properly dialed pour over with fresh roasted and ground beans is far better than Keurig.
K-cups are better than Folgers, but not good coffee in the general scheme of things. In a scale of 1-10, I’d rate the k-cups around a 3 and a good pour over a 9.
If you think it’s wrong to keep a cat inside then you shouldn’t have a cat. They’re an invasive species in most of the world and it’s unethical to put them outside regardless of what justifications you come up with
Yeah I’ve been seeing this Ron and Harry meme all over the place. I’m not a potter fan, I don’t think the books are anything super special, but still
It’s very clearly shown that Harry would be willing to help them out financially but they don’t want Harry’s money in the slightest
Like most buildings, my house has windows I can exit in an emergency
Double cylinder deadbolts are pretty common IME
For the longest time, Reddit allowed some of the most toxic, explicitly hateful, communities out there. It continued to grow very quickly under those circumstances. Furthermore, the more moderate communities continued to exist. It wasn’t until later, when they were trying to monetize, that Reddit started cracking down on the allowed content.
As much as I disagreed with those communities, I think Reddit was a better place when the admin had a looser hand on which communities could it could not exist
