@Mike39962570 About 10 years ago, a major healthcare provider opened a newly constructed, large, modern hospital in my city. The cost was just under $500 million. I use that to think about large numbers thrown around by the government.

What America could have got with the Iranian Regime GIVEAWAYS: BumROCK Obama. $150,000,000,000 Joe Blunder Biden: $28,000,000,000 This is just 100,000,000 US dollars. You’re asking: How many times does $100 million (100,000,000) go into $178 billion (178,000,000,000)? Step-by-step: \frac{178{,}000{,}000{,}000}{100{,}000{,}000} = 1{,}780 Final Answer: 1,780 times So, $178 billion contains 1,780 chunks of $100 million. If you want, I can break this into finance context (e.g., budgets, deal sizing, or headcount scaling) so it’s more intuitive.

@ShawnRyan762 Here, I'll save everyone the click. Shawn referenced a Daily Beast article which links to a Free Press article (behind a paywall) citing an anonymous source. This is what Shawn Ryan has resorted to.

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side. They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will. So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican? thedailybeast.com/trump-official…

Can I just throw out some alternate facts here to take into consideration one everybody should have a place to sleep people and dogs and the catch is that everybody wants to put a bunch of rules on people before they give them a house which everybody just deserves the house you can’t make somebody get clean you just can’t. You can’t force somebody to do something. They don’t wanna do plain and simple and there’s people doing drugs up on the street all the way up to mansions and all in between so if maybe they weren’t living like dogs they would want to get clean and that gives him a better opportunity or maybe they don’t and they don’t, but you can’t force people and I don’t think we should be making that a caviar for something we know it’s not gonna work. You cannot be like ok. You didn’t have a house will only be get clean first of all they’re not ready to be clean. Second of all, I mean, I just don’t know why anybody thinks that would work unless they just know Walmart so they go round and round I mean, obviously they’re ready to clean. They would’ve didn’t work, but I’m telling you if they have a better chance of wanting to be normal if they’re living normally I’ve been homeless and I’ll tell you what I would absolutely never do that. Not high ego try that not knowing where gonna go at night. And everybody is too obsessed with wanting to control other people behavior, which is impossible to try something different and often times it’s not even good controlling. It’s so many people involved. It’s abusive controlling were adult adults or human beings. Everybody should just have a roof to sleep under regardless I bet less money would be spent just Housing them somehow then not Housing at all and all this bullshit of Program that shit doesn’t matter how many programs you offer they don’t want it. They don’t want it build a bunch of tiny houses if they wanna live slob like people do it everywhere every day and lots of homes cross the world. It is what it is, but you’re never gonna force somebody to do them if they don’t wanna do.

Elon Musk: “The homeless industrial complex is really dark… The network of NGOs should be called, the drug zombie farmers… The ‘charities’ get money proportionate to the number of ‘homeless’… so their incentive structure is to maximize the number…”

@BidenInflation2 @brysonjames1595 @LangmanVince He's one of the only ones having a serious discussion about any of this, and that' precisely why paid scum and low IQ retarded fucks like you hate him. You just want your forever war for Jews and we won't just give it to you. Get the fuck out of MAGA loser.

None. Know why? The project had the backing of our tax dollars to test and over test every single element before flight. That’s expensive and time consuming. The Saturn V program cost us $100-150 billion in today’s dollars. SpaceX is testing Starship destructively. It’s a different engineering approach that yields results faster and cheaper with today’s sensors and automation. It means the Starship has advanced as far as it has for about $15 billion.

I want to correct a misconception @elonmusk and @SpaceX follower keep repeating. - No one thought reusability was crazy or impossible before Musk/SpaceX. Shuttle orbiters and SRBs did it 1981-2011 so we knew it was possible because we did it.

@HPsnifter @PebMet1 @NinaBar52496637 @elonmusk @SpaceX How do people think technology improves ffs? They think you get it right on the first try? It takes time and experiments.. In the case of Starships, you are lucky to see those happen in real time

The 2nd downed F-15E crew member has reportedly been recovered from inside Iran. It seems we had to leave a few aircraft behind due to the weight of the giant balls of all the operators who went in to rescue him... 🇺🇸 #war #israel #iran #f15 #rescue #OAF #LittleBird #C130

@NinaBar52496637 @elonmusk @SpaceX To date, SpaceX has not proven full reusability. F9 Stage 2 is expendable. Everything about Starship has been Musk speak. To date, Version 1 and 2 of Starship were incapable of carrying the amount of payload Musk claimed they would.

@KenP_3L @mathelirium You’re right. This is how you configure the wing for a stall - not exactly a good visual to prove the OPs point, which is wrong anyway.

It is often said that the lift on a wing is generated because the flow moving over the top surface has a longer distance to travel and therefore needs to go faster. This common explanation is actually wrong.

Tesla Self-Driving sucks and doesn't work. This compressed video shows 90 minutes of Tesla's V14.2.2.5 moving through the heart of Philadelphia, and back to the suburbs for some errands. As you watch this clip, you'll start to realize that Tesla's goal of autonomy at-scale is very far from here, and probably won't ever actually happen. The entire charade is nonsense. Tesla cars have level 2 ADAS just like SuperCruise and BlueCruise. Yes, your Chevy Silverado does do this. More music by the homie @StainlessOne

@kmh That was supposed to be NASAs finished product. We all know SpaceX’s engineering feats are still in development. Well, those of us that are engineers and not political monkeys anyway.
