Christ, when you attend a wedding you get what you're given and if you don't like it or don't want it you make polite noises anyway.

I remember my mother-in-law asking why we had so many vegetarian and vegan options at our wedding. Two of her three children are vegetarian, not to mention like 30% of our friends.

Astronaut boyfriend hits super close to home to me. There’s an entire article written about me (without my name used or even knowing about it until years after she published it) where a woman reflects on her wanting to work in space as a middle schooler, but was so intimidated by the fact that I wanted to work in space too and, that how could she ever hope to compete with me. (Her phrasing, not mine) Everyone who wants to work for NASA deserves to work for NASA it owns (I do not currently work at NASA, or even want to work for NASA)

les enfants Terrific! posted:It's not like the guy became diabetic yesterday - He has to know that his sugar will dip and it's baffling he doesn't have any preparation for it, or the sense to order food for himself. One of my roomates in college was diabetic and used to "Wing it" with his insulin doses rather than actually test his blood sugar. One morning he woke up with *extremely* low blood sugar as a result and started crying out for help. Slight problem with this is his room was behind two locked oak doors and a cinderblock wall. So I did not hear these cries for help. I did however hear the loud thud when he rolled out of bed to get to his glucose tablets, since he slept on the top bunk. But that didn't really assist with the "Locked oak door" issue. He got real pissy with me that I didn't break down the security door to help him and it's like buddy, the person responsible for your health is you, if you're gonna pull this bullshit maybe make sure you've got tablets within reach of your bed or something?

No they haven't. A detailed description of the accident, including the fact that the engineers tried to warn it would happen and were overruled by the suits, was in my school science textbook. In the 90s.

Weren't the faulty O-rings on the challenger made by literal children in some dudes living room? I think they came from the Warren Jeff compound because child labor let him lowball all the other contractors.

CannonFodder posted:It's possible to eat healthy at a big wedding buffet by paying attention to portion size, choosing the healthy options, and having some self control. I mean I think they are pretty much saying "Your brother has no self control with food, so him attending this wedding with this menu is going to be a problem." Based on the groom's response it seems like he's probably out of patience with his brother's effort or lack of effort in the past and not willing to accommodate it anymore, which is his prerogative.

The Roger's commission was literally 6 months later and universally concluded it was a problem that NASA management repeatedly overrode safety concerns from the engineers and kept pushing for more flights in shorter time frames, that management basically doctored safety results to wildly unrealistic levels like claiming failure rates of 1 out of a million for things that couldn't be measure to those tolerances in the slightest, that they knew about the O-rings for nearly a decade but since no one would be dumb enough to launch in that temperature they didn't bother to improve it. From my experience the Challenger mission has always been described as the archetypal avoidable accident, as the presence of the civilian meant the suits were pushing to disregard weather/temp issues in order to get that good press. It was a massive amount of disregard for established safety protocol at almost every level. When Columbia blew up, the big thing that came out was NASA management was pulling the same poo poo that happened with Challenger and the corporate culture there was totally hosed.

I may be misremembering that episode pretty hard, but I was under the impression that while the Rogers Commission revealed most of that, NASA attempted to portray it as a freak accident to the public for a long time. That's certainly what I was taught in school in the late 80s/early 90s. Apologies if I'm wrong.

EDIT: And if he's managed to drop 150 pounds I would say that he's probably developed fairly good self-control and habits, because weight loss is hard as hell from both a psychological and physiological standpoint. He might have to rigorously plan his meals in day-to-day life to remove the temptation, but it's a wedding and if he indulges himself I'd say it's fine.

Yup, culture was AFU. Organizational cause of the Columbia accident The problem of debris shedding from the external tank was well known and had caused shuttle damage on every prior shuttle flight. The damage was usually, but not always, minor. Over time, management gained confidence that it was an acceptable risk. NASA decided that it did not warrant an extra EVA for visual inspection, feeling that it would be like a car going down a highway and hitting a Styrofoam cooler.[citation needed] A NASA official turned down requests for satellite-based inspection also. https://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/13/us/shuttle-team-sought-view-from-satellite-nasa-official-says.html

I don't think it makes me a Q conspirator to believe a power hungry pedophile might have unscrupulous business practices.
