It's actually been really wet and rainy here in SoCal. Everything is really green, except the mountain tops, which still have a bit of snow.

quote:


A NASA contractor is urging the space agency to suspend the upcoming Boeing Starliner launch over major safety concerns with the aerospace company's wares.
In a press release, the president of ValveTech, a NASA contractor that supplies the agency with parts, warned that the buzzing sound heard during the now-scrubbed Starliner launch could indicate something seriously wrong with the transport capsule.
"As a valued NASA partner and as valve experts, we strongly urge them not to attempt a second launch due to the risk of a disaster occurring on the launchpad," ValveTech president Erin Faville cautioned. "According to media reports, a buzzing sound indicating the leaking valve was noticed by someone walking by the Starliner minutes before launch. This sound could indicate that the valve has passed its lifecycle."
After the incident, which occurred just before Starliner was supposed to attempt its first crewed launch earlier in May, NASA has said that it won't try again until at least May 17. According to Faville, much needs to be be done between now and then to head off the worst possible outcomes.
"NASA needs to re-double safety checks and re-examine safety protocols," he said, "to make sure the Starliner is safe before something catastrophic happens to the astronauts and to the people on the ground."

Thankfully for the economy and all of us workers the figures and graphs informing this idiot bitch rear end in a top hat brain genius are all accurate and trustworthy and do not give an incorrect view of things by targeting a narrative first and literally nothing else second.

Thank god our entire economy is ruled by a small group of these learned and astute academic professionals who can make expert decisions based on the right data at the right times.

the shrinkflation poo poo pisses me off so much, is any of this factored into inflation estimates?

i never used pods, but did switch from liquid to a box of cascade powder for like 6 bux instead after i watched duder on technology connections ramble about dishwashers. i also use way way less than 'recommended', so that box has lasted well over a year. i also switched to cheaper coffee, and only buy those thin and cheap commercial paper towels in bulk, and just keep eliminating more and more stuff. but then there are things i cant avoid like laundry detergent that just keep getting smaller and it makes me so mad

:eng101: some of the old girls turned me on to laundry sheets & smaller is better than a bigass plastic jug of detergent.

I haven't done a H2H cost comparison but I'm a cheap poor & I can't see them costing me more than the plastic jugs, all told.

eta: These are the ones I recently bought for $8.

I use biokleen unscented powder for the laundry. I'm loving drat near allergic to everything and my skin is super sensitive and its one of the few things that doesnt bother me at all. the value is insanely good too which rules. Takes me a solid year to go through a single bag/box.

And woolballs in the laundry for drying faster and destaticking.

Oh yeah, p$g is really great with shrinkflation especially at Costco.l

Buyers would really push back before and probably switch to an alternative but as we all know Costco is going to poo poo now.

yeah he has two, one where he talks about pods and liquids and powders and rinseaids

and then another where he talks about how much you should use and that you don't need nearly as much as the box says. i use even less than he shows
