If you want to see something cool tonight, NROL-44 launches in ~20m: https://youtu.be/wPu0OMqwDsU

It's a Delta IV Heavy *night launch*. It's worth watching.

EDIT: Launch is on hold, window expires at 6:25am Eastern.

Yeah, since it aborted at ignition it's gonna be the better part of a week before there's another attempt since they have to change out the engines. -_-

It's also delaying what would've been SpaceX's second launch on sunday because that Falcon's flight path passes directly over the pad NROL-44 is sitting on. As someone in the spaceflight thread said, they're parked in front of Musk's driveway.

Kenosha is basically done already. There have been two straight nights of mostly quiet after the usual cycle. There was a night of rioting, then a night of insufficient/bad policing (thus Chuddy Jr.), then the nights of calm after enough police/guard are there and the militias go home.

Donnie's going to roll in, credit the National Guard (because he thinks he's IN CHARGE), and then quickly leave so he can avoid protests. Same as Minneapolis.

It hit a few hours east. We didn't even get any rain in Houston. I think even Beaumont got off relatively lightly.

Cameron and Holly Beach are pretty much gone though, and Lake Charles got really torn up by the wind. Pictures will focus on the worst, of course, but it looks like wood framed houses got shredded en masse. Reminds me of what Andrew did to Miami.

The most active season on record was 2005. That's the year they ran out of alphabet and had to use Greek letters. Katrina hit at the end of August. We just got through the letter M. :thumbsup:

Officials (and Donnie) are going to tour the area today. From what I gather, the storm surge wasn't as bad as predicted, the hurricane moved out quickly, and the Hurricane tracking forecast was dead-on accurate, so it turned out bad, but not terrible.

But, a new development is that we appear to be exporting our stupid and it's Kinda Not Great.

I wonder if he asked them to consider how much hurt they're causing everyone with their protest. Alternative answer is no strikes but drone strikes

Storm surge was as strong as predicted but there was a jag east so it missed the initially predicted areas and just hit some bayous

You can view the damage that we’ve mapped here. You can toggle between the pre-damage satellite view and what our planes took pictures of. We have a King Air we usually send after hurricanes hit that spends the rest of the year doing coastal Lidar mapping.

E: the weird dark lines in the zoomed out view are what we’ve updated, if you zoom in it’s photographs from earlier this week.

Players reaching out to Obama ≠ Obama jumping in to end the strike. Real loving weird that a majority black league would reach out to the first black president :rolleyes:

Also "practically nothing" in this case was getting the owners to turn arenas into voting centers and spending money to drive turnout among other things.

LeBron's also been putting his money where his mouth is in trying to fix poll worker shortages and polling places getting closed due to "lack of polling workers"
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/24/us/politics/lebron-james-poll-workers.html


Like if you wanna be disappointed with that, go wild, but shouting they got nothing and that Obama shut it down is just stupid and wrong as gently caress.

Asking this in good faith, what did you realistically expect them to do here?

Because the shithead Chud has been charged and they finally dropped the bullshit charges against Blake (thank gently caress). What they got may not be enough for some people and if that's how you feel, I'm not gonna say you're wrong to feel that way but just loudly proclaiming they got nothing is objectively wrong.
