New dead Internet theory just dropped

As far as I know, NASA has two current plans. Either sell the ISS to some billionaire, or deorbit it and drop it into the ocean. Both are really sad conclusions to an important scientific and engineering project.

The funny thing is, the league of colonial crackers don’t have the capability to deorbit the ISS. Right now only the Russian Progress vehicle can significantly modify the orbit of the ISS. If it’s not deorbited quickly and precisely on purpose, it’ll deorbit on its own in an uncontrolled manner, with a slight risk of dropping debris on inhabited land.

I find it really icky and distasteful. There’s plenty of things we can make jokes about without needing to insult others (regardless of whether this is with the consent of the person on the receiving end).

According to it, if you are malnourished and physically stunted because of it, you can still be classified as not poor if you have a phone.

Next the US will claim to have solved homelessness because you can’t possibly be homeless if you have a phone.

If anti-productive things like interest and rent are counted as GDP then so should illegal activity.

Depends on who owns the business. If it’s a bourgeois then yes, if it’s the workers themselves then no.

That’s fair, public media in liberal states is just oligarch media with extra steps.

I’d expect that kind of trash from PragerU, but this is from a public broadcaster. Then again, I shouldn’t be surprised given what drivel the German or British public broadcasters (for example) produce.

With how irredeemably greedy Boeing is, I can’t help but think that Airbus is probably just as bad. Everything the US government does and will do for Boeing, the French and EU will do for Airbus.

Unfortunately for us in the US dominated west, flying on COMAC and Ilyushin airframes will never be an option.

Same, although instead of chapo I was one of the “Bernie bros” on Facebook in 2020.

The US Midwest, as well as much of Canada, is built like that. Winters are long and cold, so houses are more or less built to keep heat in, but not to keep heat out, or cool down quickly once hot. I say more or less because historically energy has been so cheap that instead of properly insulating like people do in Europe for example, many just turn up the heat in winter. So even when people can afford to buy and run an AC unit and the power grid cooperates, the AC can often only cool one room, and maybe not even quite handle that sufficiently.

In historically temperate areas like the pacific northwest, homes aren’t really built with extreme temperatures in mind, so anything outside of the usual 5-25°C range is very uncomfortable very quickly.

Many of us are here cause r/GenZedong got quarantined two years ago for the crime of being honest and popular. Not that gz was exclusively about China, but it was one of the few spaces you could be on reddit where “China good actually” didn’t get you immediately dogpiled and likely banned.

Blackrock has $10T of assets managed vs. Blackstone’s $1T, so definitely not smaller. They just have different focuses (real estate and private equity for Blackstone, and traditional stocks for Blackrock), and have been separate companies for a while.

We have investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing.

We also have no idea as to why quality engineers are turning up dead.

Thanks for your professional input, I really appreciate it.

Your last paragraph is especially important. I overlooked that part, although it’s obvious in retrospect.

Doesn’t matter which team nominated him. A spook is a spook, anything they touch is gonna get spookified (not that any product from Silicon Valley isn’t already a fancy surveillance and propaganda system).

Just wait until the then-president pulls a Trudeau (Senior) by declaring martial law to put an end to the separatists.

In case you didn’t know, there’s a browser plug-in called Sponsorblock which help skip those in-video ad segments. It relies on user input to work, so someone has to watch the video and timestamp the ad segments and maybe a couple other important points in the video, but it works really well most of the time.

The entire EU supply chain is subsidized.

It’s been a couple years since I finished reading them, but my memory is that all nine books feel like one long one. I don’t remember there being any change in quality or enjoyment.
