I really wish the collosal shitbirds that keep vociferously claiming to represent non-belief and skepticism in public discourse would all go die in a fire. In my teens, I stumbled across a YouTube channel with a pretty narrow focus on the word of the Bible and the problems inherent in it, but then found my "recommended" videos filled with racist, proto-alt-right, misogynists claiming to be voices of reason. So glad that I noped out of that immediately.

It is utterly hilarious that proselytizing internet atheists/the cult of Dawkins have become everything they claim to despise.

Always be specific when you lie. Just try to cover up the official email of the federal agency tasked with having to back up your bullshit after the fact. Journalists will probably get it!

I'm not familiar with this airplane, is the runway really narrow or is that thing the size of a 747?

It's roughly the size of a B-1 bomber (though it's not the one that looks like the B-1). A bit smaller than a 767.

I got into an argument with someone once a few years ago about drug testing for welfare recipients. I brought up statistics about how drug testing for welfare recipient will be a net loss (the whole issue is wasting money for people who don't need it or spend it on drugs or whatever, right?). He didn't care. gently caress those poor people. Economic gains/losses don't matter.

I knew it was pretty drat big, but never had a clue of its size relative to the things I thought were the biggest loving bombers in existence.

Christ, it is considerably bigger and heavier than even the B-1 or the B-52 and can drop the equivalent of fourty-loving-five times my car in ordnance. Good god.


Also, in current events: When are we due for the next caravan? Trump already talked about the third one that was CURRENTLY FORMING (tm) with like 8,000 people, but since these things basically have the same mechanics as a Starcraft campaign mission (except all four of the blips in your fog of war are nothingburgers, not just three), I was wondering what the interval is.

just go back to that interview where the lady was mad at Trump because he was hurting her and not the people she elected him to hurt.

Something has to tell it to turn on though, doesn't it? I don't think it's capable of suddenly turning back on once the solar panels are cleared off, not without some kind of low power mode that, y'know, requires power to maintain.

I'm pretty sure it'll go into comms mode on power. Source: A bunch of books I've got on spacecraft design, and NASA going after long lost probes from time to time like IMAGE, that were designed the same way. There isn't a real reason you'd design the thing not to try and establish comms on power.

By the time that happens, if it happens, the staffing for that mission will probably have been moved elsewhere. Still the rovers are impressive as gently caress. They landed when I was in middle school, and one kept going until I was almost 30.

The worry is that even in low power mode it will a) break due to cold or b) run out of power and lose system time
