  1. If you're earning $15/hr, you're probably not excited to go pay $60 to go to the movies with a date or $100+ for a dinner with drinks. Shit is more expensive every year and pay is flat. The presidential crypto is doing gangbusters though!
  2. I mean it looked like a work instead of a shoot and a bad blade job by a clapped out WWE hall of famer to me /s But lmfao "the president is gonna wet his beak" we are fucked, the graft is worse than the 1920s

    Scott Manley's overview video had those details, as well as some of the freeze frames of flames coming out of the control surfaces joint
  4. Hah thermal tiles are washing up on the beach in Turks and Caicos

    Nope, everything was within parameters. But the risk profile of future missions is certainly going to be greater now that there's a datapoint of exploding on ascent and tossing a huge debris field. It still causes a ton of flight diversions and a few declared fuel emergencies. Everyone was safe and all that, but the FAA is likely to want to mitigate future stresses on the system with a larger hazard area which will take longer to obtain
  6. As long as you're driving into a protester, any lane is fine it turns out
  7. A 2 basin sink sucks ass, fills the under sink space with plumbing, and is just less useful than a large single basin. Before my current house, every place I have lived has had 2 basin and I'm never going back. If you can't replace the basin though, putting in a new faucet is only $150 or so and can make it seem nicer
  8. That's 100% the play, and the Democrats are more than happy to step on that rake again
  9. Lol he released DMs and revoked verified status of twitch streaming goblins that called him out. He's gonna be in the Whitehouse beefing with nerds on Twitter while defunding public services

    Those are generally used for descent, not ascent. But I have seen some folks getting freeze frames of fire licking out from the inside near the fin joints
  11. Booster is working great, Starship didn't make orbit it would seem
  12. Wouldn't Bruce Willis be a better ambassador for trump?
  13. I'll believe it when quantum systems are generalizable to start solving actual problems. But yes the promise they present would be earthshaking. It would also completely break modern information security and bumblefuck cryptomarkets, by virtue of (theoretically) solving blocks and crypto keys in O(1) time rather than a constantly escalating exponential number of calculations
  14. Thing is - large language models ARE the next big thing when it comes to handling extremely large and complex sets of data that are spread across a variety of different modes. There's been some fascinating research with LLM's being used to quickly explore possibility spaces within mathematic theories in academia. But that sort of usecase AIN'T what's being sold. Every "AI" widget at CES was just the same shit from last year with a chatbot front end slapped on it. There's definitely more hay to be made, but right now the leaders are leaning into AI slop. Hell, Meta considers AI slop for boomers to be a critical part of their platform strategy for FB because it keeps engagement up
  15. What are you talking about? The Steamdeck is the best place to play Switch games!
  16. Oh neat, if you're in the Dallas area there's a "Switch 2 Experience" coming to you April 25-27 https://www.nintendo.com/us/nintendo-switch-2-experience/
  17. Water weighs about 8lbs per gallon, and getting hit with even one 8lb unit moving at a hundred fifty knots would be awful. Now imagine a thousand units hitting you
  18. CBS: Southwest pilot removed from cockpit, booked for DUI A Southwest Airlines pilot was removed from the cockpit ahead of a Wednesday flight from Georgia to Chicago and was booked on a charge of driving under the influence, a source familiar with the incident told CBS News. David Paul Allsop allegedly smelled of alcohol and may have shown other signs of intoxication, the source said. Airport police in Savannah removed him before flight 3772 to Chicago's Midway Airport took off.
  19. He literally deployed unmarked federal officers against protesters and fired rubber bullets to clear them away from a church. And he faced zero consequences for it. We'd better be ready to bite the fucking pillow 'cause they're frothing at the mouth to go in dry
  20. Hahaha their youtube video has the date in the other direction
