The New Coffee Room

Fun game. Played it once, 5 rounds with a score of 33,000 or so. Not sure how random the images are as the last 2 were pretty easy to nail almost precisely.

That is cool. Their whole goal was frequent, reusable, economic launches.

I posted in the New Glenn thread, the Blue Origin stuff gets a lot of jokes because how far "behind" it is than SpaceX, but I really enjoyed the 1.5 hour watching of those 2 behind-the-scenes tour with Jeff Bezos, it really, really, dare I say, really shed light into all of the work and decisions that goes into building reusable boosters and orbital vehicles.

It also shows you what can happen if you have 100 billion dollars and are very smart. Kind of like @jon-nyc if he had 99 more billion dollars and 99 more smart.

I think we said many months ago even if files were released, there's no way to trust them at this point. It's like asking robbers to open the bank door so you can take fingerprints and they keep saying "sure, just one more minute!"

BTW the FBI site in Winchester is not a secret. It's called the Central Records Complex (CRC). I had a buddy (she was a hot programmer akshully) who worked there a year or two ago.

@jon-nyc said in Tell me aqain who the censors are:

I would say people in power who are threatened by ideas. History bears this out pretty uniformly.

She probably has no power but she (or her ilk) used to be and she hasn't quite internalized the shift.

I skimmed through the video of the public comments. You're pretty accurate. Most of the comments were along the lines of "TP USA is a threat, look at the evidence!" and then the evidence they would cite would basically be words or messages they don't like. That TP USA says trans people have mental issues, or TP USA dehumanizes with their posters... Many of the speakers were parents with LGBT kids in the high school. I find it a bit ironic that a year ago they would want compelled speech (e.g., call my kid by their preferred pronoun!) and now they are against free speech. I guess there is a theme, there.

AI is a supersonic tsunami, as Elon says.

Sooooooooo dumb. This is why we'd lose WW2 if it happened today.

Rudolph reminds me of Trent Green or, more recently, Kirk Cousins. A talented backup that never much of a chance earlier in their career but seems to have the arm to lead a team if he's given enough of a real chance (i.e., a multiple games).

Of all of the people I trust to solve a debt problem, it’s not gonna be the guy who has bankrupted most of his companies due to debt.

Solid plan

Sure, changes the meaning of when I do “the robot” on the dance floor.

Here’s the 2nd part of that first video. The launch pad. It is really mind blowing, the size and scale. Even the propellant tubes that are along the midsection, have to be able to be flexible based on the pressure… imagine telling an engineer that they need to design proponent tubes for 300 feet, but also maybe 320 feet. Just insane. All of it!

For context of how big the rocket is that they landed. If you watch the first video, I posted above as Jeff Bezos explains everything, it is really, really, really fascinating. At least if you’re into space flight stuff.

My favorite part is how normal of a factual statement that has become

Luckily Bondi is someone who will keep Trump in check.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Faroe Islands in the World Cup?:

Now you've got me thinking about kippers, which for some inexplicable reason don't seem to have caught on over here.

To further the tangent, I’m surprised the Italian dessert “Granita” hasn’t caught on more here. It’s essentially shaved flavored ice served with a little warm cream. Absolutely delicious and nutritionally not terrible compared to most desserts.

Wish I knew. I think the simplified version is it was a mine site that had waste water being pooled or dammed up, but the actual mine location was getting too close to where the water retention was, resulting in the collapse of the retaining “wall”.

No joke one TV show I’ve watched consistently year after year is Gold Rush on Discovery channel, and this is a common problem to deal with the downstream waste water
