quote:“Bob’s never done a threesome with two men. He’s done it with three women. So he’s a little bit nervous but he’s gonna come cuz I want him to,” Redstone tells the woman, before he explains what to expect next. e: moar quote:“Of course I love you. I wanna gently caress your rear end off,” he gushes. “You know what? I can arrange for you to participate on Friday. I think you want it. I know you’re shy but you said you want it…Sucking [another male partner] off. It would get me very happy if you did it. Then we’re gonna have a real future of sex. So let me know on my cellphone if that’s ok and I’ll arrange to have you picked up.”

i think i've brought it up in this thread before but my dad's the guy who has to check off the boxes for NASA when third parties want to send NASA cargos into space and he's gotten an in-depth look at the Falcon 9 several times and, well, Musk clearly has the same weird unrealistic blind spots we've seen with Tesla when it comes to rockets as well.

my favorite part was one time my dad asked to see some particular diagnostic output from the onboard computer - for literally every other rocket ever made, this is a pretty simple process where you just wheel over a little cart with a terminal and some equipment on it, plug a thing in to the rocket and get your data. for the falcon 9, you can't do that. instead, all the rocket's systems are fed through a (possibly off-site) ~cloud~ server and checks are done using automated python scripts. nobody who was with my dad was authorized to just pull ad-hoc data about the rocket, only to run the scripts, so they had to call up some sysadmin to write them a new python script for it and wait for him to run the results down.

I was under the impression that after a launch pretty much everything expensive in a rocket is scrap due to having been exposed to incredible heat and vibration. seems like a properly designed computer controlled ram air parachute would get you 99% of the way there for a fraction of the weight.

Oh it's 1952 and we're about to have infinite cheap fuel, didn't you hear? Also you dont get as much buy in from the fuel suppliers if you dont have a rocket that literally sprays raw flaming fuel out the rear end end to do a controlled descent

they probably pay $0 extra fuel costs all said and done versus having a sane chute based approach. Why innovate when you can burn gas?

the no vote is more likely to be in the outer areas and the yes vote (the cave to uber vpte) was more likely to be in the central areas. the splotchy yellow areas in the middle but north of the river are the cbd and the university of texas which have more young people and students (and fewer residential areas, which is why so much of it is gray). so i guess young people don't value safety and regulation?

some artistic license going on there because Austen's voting precincts are nowhere near that granular. what I find interesting is that West Austin voted more heavily "for" than you would expect from a bunch of rich NIMBY fucks. according to a friend who was involved in the campaign (on the for side  ) they really love their UberBlack rides to the airport.
