I feel like this should be a bigger news, they rolled out Artemis 2 to the launchpad this weekend, it’s cool that they use the same crawler I believe that was used during the Apollo missions. I believe the earliest possible lunch date is February 6, with other launch dates spanning throughout the spring.

If he'd offer every Greenland citizen several million US$, I imagine they might agree. Let's say 1T$ , that would be $15 million per citizen or something.

And yes I'll die on the hill that the Ossia Cadenza is MUCH better than the cheap Tocatta Cadenza.

Personally I'm impressed that @moonbat is able to capture these thread that overlap with his area of expertise (e.g., scientific research) out of left field. No pun intended.

You already can take a low interest loan out against your 401K for a home purchase, and the interest is paid back to you, and it happens before taxes are withdrawn. Beyond that, there are so many first time howler downpayment assistance options out there, that you would have to have to nothing in the way of a downpayment to have the downpayment be your obstacle.

Those are awesome

They’re real and they’re spectacular

Yeah sounds really cool

Howdy!

Indeed. Instead we all appear doomed to have to endure the near future (and beyond) with this jackass of the apocalypse.

I remember him getting cucked while he was a politician, by an elderly female who called him out in some town hall. That probably stung. We talked about it here at the time.

We warned you.

Those videos have been making the rounds in the youtube algo. Watched one myself a week ago, narrated by Brian Cox AI voice. I think mostly based on his actual writings. Yes, it makes sense, and I have no confidence that humans will ever be an interplanetary species.

Yeah basically a return to the way it was in the 19th and early 20th century.

It is funny how reading something like this posting can trigger a memory. Long long long time ago, I was kind of remote location and the office had a library and one of the books that I read was "The Marsh Arabs". It focused on the people in Iraq rather than Iran, but there were probably a similar group in Iran also. I hadn't thought about that book in years. LOL During the years he spent among the Marsh Arabs of southern Iraq—long before they were almost completely wiped out by Saddam Hussein—Wilfred Thesiger came to understand, admire, and share a way of life that had endured for many centuries. Traveling from village to village by canoe, he won acceptance by dispensing medicine and treating the sick. In this account of a nearly lost civilization, he pays tribute to the hospitality, loyalty, courage, and endurance of the people, and describes their impressive reed houses, the waterways and lakes teeming with wildlife, the herding of buffalo and hunting of wild boar, moments of tragedy, and moments of pure comedy in vivid, engaging detail.

A shark can swim faster than me, but I can run faster than a shark. So in a triathlon, it would all come down to who’s the better cyclist.

Even the “small” gambling called Fantasy Sports completely destabilizes trust.

@Mik The list ought to have included Halliburton alongside SLB. Also, there are deposits of light and medium crude outside the Orinoco Belt area. Some in the Lake Maricaibo region but elsewhere as well. That wildcatter, Hamm, could make tons of money in short pay back timeframe if he could latch onto some of those reservoirs.
