Launching just one sounds like the primary purpose is for messaging, not taking out whatever single target. They want to remind Europeans that they aren’t safe just because they live far away. The west has been getting numb to the constant threats of using nuclear weapons. I believe this launch is to give those threats more weight again.

The US will no longer be a threat to Russian ambitions come January. Expect an urgent fear campaign to get the rest of NATO to no longer want to stick their necks out for Ukraine.

Starlink v2 sats in the next flight? The micro g engine relight seemed to go ok, so orbital trajectories should be an option going forward.

Why would they bother making an xbox layout when they’ve already gone through the effort of making the xbox controllers compatible with games? What advantage would that have over just using an actual xbox controller or one of the numerous generics?

They’re smashing a bunch of decor together at very high energies hoping to discover a new fundamental holiday to capitalize on.

Not quite. Although the “losing bid” here was of a higher payment amount. However, the trustee chose the onion bid because the families who are owed assets out of the settlement were willing to forgo some of the payments they are owed to back the onion bid. That would lead to more being paid back to Jone’s creditors than with the straight cash bid.

So it is a bit of a unique situation and the court is right to verify that the trustee made the right call. Ultimately the onion bid should be the winner since bankruptcy proceedings should prioritize paying creditors.

While flossing and brushing are definitely best practice, they absolutely do not guarantee never getting cavities.

You might end up in a sticky situation.

Florida man and Texas Judge are the dynamic duo we didn’t really need.

Would he? I’m terrified of his ability to double down on obvious bullshit even when presented with facts directly countering his claims.

As bad as Trump is, I’m almost more concerned about the people who saw his first clown show and thought either “I have got to get in on this” or " I can use this to accomplish my goals. "

Do you want President Vance? This is how you get President Vance.

I think someone ran the image through an ai upscaler. The textures on the rails an stuff are too smooth and the edges are overly sharpened.

My samsung phone does this level of overprocessing when taking pictures and I wish I could figure out how to turn that off.

I think the second pinky is actually a white line in the rock.

Don’t victim blame. Godzilla didn’t cause the radiation, he suffered irreparable changes from it.

It’s easier to layer tops than bottoms. So shorts with short sleeves covered with a button up long sleeve can be surprisingly practical even though it feels silly. Open the button up when it starts to get a bit warm, and remove it entirely when active in the sun. Large diurnal temperature swings can mean committing some fashion faux pas.

Isn’t that when student loans became bankruptcy proof and death or payoff became the only legal ways to be rid of them?

Nvm those changes occured in different phases from 1976 through 2005.

All animals are far, but some animals are more far than others.

I’m not a meteorologist, but I do know a thing or two about plasma.

Plasma is very short lived. Think on the order of microseconds at atmospheric pressures. So unless there was a massive linear source of power along the whole length, this isn’t plasma.

The visual effects probably have to do with the fact that the sun was very low. I’m guessing the particle size distribution in that line is notably different from the size of particles in the clouds surrounding it, leading to much stronger reflection of evening light.

I am curious as to the meteoroligical explanation for the line though.

I think this actually is a linear regression plotted on a log y graph.

Which a linear regression is a bad choice for something that must be asymptotic at best.

It’s also absurd that the fit line dives down to be cheaper and earlier than an optimistic projection that will likely move further to the top right as time progresses. That’s a chart with an agenda, not an analytical regression.

The fuck are people supposed to do who don’t even own the car?

Their failure on this point is particularly concerning if they want to run a robotaxi service.
