@russellybarra Dude, you aren't eating in a restaurant. You are eating in an airport terminal that has a restaurant in it. Totally different. You're lucky they didn't charge you for a whole salad to get the extra ranch.

One of my pet peeves is going to a restaurant and being nickel-and-dimed for something as simple as asking for a little extra dressing. It would be one thing if I had already been served an appropriate amount for the size of the salad, but the dressing I ordered to be served on the side came in a small 1.5-ounce portion—the same amount they gave me when I asked for extra, not realizing I would be charged extra. It’s up to the restaurant to establish the proper portion for every item in relation to the size of the entrée. If the standard portion isn’t enough for the dish being served, the solution is to adjust the portion—not charge the guest extra for having to make up the difference.

@niccruzpatane @SpaceX I can't believe how precise they have to be to get this footage. Think about it, they chucked that thing up on the other side of the planet. And yet they have drones and multiple camera angles to capture it. That f'ing amazing.

SpaceX released some epic high-quality footage today of Starship’s splashdown in the ocean during Flight 12. Starship 39 did this despite being down one engine. Pretty incredible. Seeing the @SpaceX team go crazy after a launch never gets old. Very well deserved.

@Hot_Pepper76 I'm 58 and have been out for over 30 years, my dad is 83 and has been out for 60+ years. But we both still have frequent dreams about out time in service. Like at least once a month. Any vets out that experience the same?

@Hot_Pepper76 Ernest Borgnine. And, I'll let you in on a little secret. Anyone who's ever served NEVER forgets their "military roots". It's baked into your brain. Every vet I talk to regardless of age or time since they left service still have dreams about it regularly. It really is for life

Before he became an Oscar-winning actor, he spent ten years in the U.S. Navy. After Pearl Harbor, he re-enlisted and served throughout World War II on antisubmarine patrols along the Atlantic coast, rising to the rank of Gunner's Mate 1st Class. He never forgot his military roots, spending decades supporting veterans and the armed forces. Do you know who this is?

@UnwantedBlog On the flip side, SpaceX has been doing it for almost a decade and are on the precipice of recovering an orbital space craft, not just the booster. Meaning full reusability. I'm glad others are starting to catch up. I personally hope that accelerates.

@UnwantedBlog I don't get it. We should all be excited that the world is bringing down the cost of spaceflight. That opens up so many opportunities that didn't exist 10 years ago and it's only going to get better from here and benefit all man kind.

@omgsidewalks "happiness and highest quality of life possible for its citizens" That's your problem right there. Both of those goals are subjective. So, trying to use government in pursuit of that goal is going to fail. Get the government out of the way, and society will make that happen.

Unpopular opinion: I believe the goal of a society SHOULD be to secure the happiness and highest quality of life possible for its citizens NOT to endlessly generate capital for the ownership class at the expense of everyone else.

@izme_josh And, the poorest of the poor still have a higher living standard than the middle class in France. You know, we could have the same benefits as France if we would tax the middle and lower classes like they do. The billionaires don't have the funds to cover it.

@GarandThumb1 Marine rifle qual. 10 for 10 @ 500 meters X 5 years in a row. M16A2 service rifle with iron sites. Not particularly impressive but very consistent.

• Food shouldn’t be sold for profit. • Water shouldn't be sold for a profit. • Healthcare shouldn't be sold for a profit. Absolutely, nothing should be sold for a profit if its absence can cause a damage to you.

@omgsidewalks The government has told us since the great depression that's what they are using your tax money for while asking for more every single year. And, in that time things have only gotten more expensive. So, I gotta ask, who's the one that's been hoodwinked?

I still DO NOT understand how so many of you were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.

@lady_valor_07 If miniseries count I gotta go with Band of Brothers with The Pacific being a close second. If not, I gotta with (in no particular order). The Simpsons, the Sopranos, and The Flintstones.

@davepl1968 As far as I understand it, it's the stater vanes that facilitate the compression.

OK, so here's the thing I've never understood about jet engines, maybe someone can explain it to me. There's no "valve" between the compressor stage and the combustion chamber. So, unless the compressor stage is at a higher pressure than the combustion chamber, why doesn't it just backflow? What makes it go out just the back instead of both front and back?
