Look at the size of the Starship Flap. Who says they couldn't do a flap landing leg?

Getting sick quickly. It’s not the actual illness I fear; it’s the viral-induced asthma. If I’m slow this week, that’s why.

American air traffic control uses PAPER STRIPS to keep track of flights! Why wouldn’t they use modern technology? Because government doesn’t do anything well. Solve it! Privatize air traffic control.

Graham Platner calls out Jeff Bezos: “There’s absolutely no question that if we target the wealth where it has been hoarded for decades and put it into social programs like healthcare, childcare, paying teachers what they are worth, we will absolutely improve the lives of working Americans. I think what he is pitching is propaganda. It’s meant to protect himself and protect his crony friends and we’re gonna come after them for it”

“The EPA just authorized the release of 2 BILLION Genetically Modified Mosquitoes.” Bill Gates funded OXITEC BIOLAB granted “Emergency Use Permit” to drop lab engineered mosquitoes onto American citizens.

My efficiency has been amazing this trip. Coming back from Destin and averaging 320-340wh/m. What everyone else averaging in their cybertruck?

@MatrixMysteries What the hell don’t you understand about a nonprofit? That means they have to spend all of the revenue. It is not a Charity.

“Delta Dental calls itself a nonprofit — while its CEO took $48 MILLION in four years.” Her pay ballooned from $4.5 million to $15 million a year. Provider reimbursements were cut. Patients paid MORE. ‘Nonprofit’ for the tax break. For-profit at the top.

@ApoStructura What the fuck are you talking about? iPhones are luxury phones. They are 1000 fucking dollars. They should be 300.

I think luxury cars are going to end up like luxury phones. Nobody buys a “luxury phone” anymore because you can get an iPhone with similar specs for a fraction of the price. And nobody will buy a "luxury car" like this when you can get a Model 3 for 1/10th the price.

Well I am all done. I simply started out by just wanting to drop by my nearest Best Buy to see if I could get a new in-car adaptor for my Starlink mini (mine is a couple of years old), and it turned into a 2-hour due diligence inventory observation. Forget about getting a mini off the shelf, they were all wiped out and on back order from their distribution centers in Dallas and other locations. Even the generic 12V adaptors were nearly sold out, I was told folks have resorted to getting generic ones for the minis when the minis are in stock. My takeaway? The associates at the Humble, TX Wal Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, and Best Buy are trying to pump the SpaceX IPO. Do you have no shame Elon Musk?
JC Christopher@JCChristopher

Just left Wal Mart in Humble and the guy said they can’t keep the minis on the shelves, and are on back order from one of their distribution centers in Dallas. Well, Houston folks may not be paying $99/month for FSD, but they sure as hell don’t seem to have a problem with $80-$150/month for Starlink.

@CynicalPublius The problem is that the Republicans are a bunch of nutless pussies, who are part of the problem. They never call them out.

Republicans do not need to call Democrats "Nazis," because "Democrat" is bad enough. -The Trail of Tears. -Slavery. -The Civil War. -Jim Crow. -The KKK. -Concentration camps for Americans of Japanese descent. -Opposition to all civil rights legislation. -Embrace of Marxism. -Racial eugenics via 66 million aborted babies. -The Re-Racialization of American society in the 21st Century. In most nations throughout history, that's enough for a political party to be outlawed.

Bad take from the Pope. Tech revolutions tend to eliminate some jobs while creating others. If we cling onto jobs, we’d still be plowing fields by hand out of fear of disruption.
Simone Syed@SimoneSyed

“The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good.” - Pope Leo XIV

@MaryBowdenMD Isn’t that a little circular? It seems like the drug overdose argument is better because this one just moves it back to an adrenaline surge caused by what? Caused by being restrained by police.
