@ChadowskiIsBack Moon base might be the first step in the path to basically unlimited power and rare metals and these idiots would rather prioritize making it marginally easier to get from DC to Chicago

@MattWalshBlog Honestly? The only value I see in a Moon base is being able to have a pit stop before you're launched elsewhere. If that's the idea, then fine.

Hard to fathom how impoverished a person must be in mind and spirit to not see the value in space exploration. I think this is awesome. I'd much rather spend billions on rocket ships and lunar bases than buying junk food for fat people, or any of the countless other wasteful expenditures. Western civilization has always been marked by its curiosity about the universe and desire to expand, explore, and grow. We've lost that spirit in recent years. It's time to reclaim it.

To build a sustained human presence on the Moon, we are building @NASAMoonBase, prioritizing surface operations and scalable infrastructure.  - Frequent robotic landings and mobility testing including MoonFall drones  - Starting in 2027 nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon.  - Investments in power, communications, and surface mobility  - Scalable infrastructure to support long-term human presence The objective is clear: build the foundation for an enduring lunar base and take the next step toward Mars.

@Empty_America No the assumption is that target pays that much and is a far easier job.

In the book Rocky speaks using Chords of distinct notes that Grace uses a pre-built frequency analysis software to interpret and excel to keep track of. He has this software because in the book he has every piece of software that is available on earth.

You’re watching a science fiction movie about humans quickly developing interstellar travel fuelled by a fictional alien microorganism, and where the main character meets a rock-like alien and you’re hung up on the fact he was able to develop translation software? Give over!

@pittstony1 They do it to the lowest level white collar people too. I think the logic is that any other expense is easy to cut in the future where as wages are very difficult.

@JimmyThomist @pegobry_en I almost said "a half English half French government would be hell" then I realized we don't have to speculate, that does exist and it is hell.

@andyrucos @TheBlackHorse65 Crying over someone's critique of The Hobbit movies is an NPC take. Are you even sentient or are you just one of those background characters without an internal monologue? You seem like you're basically a cow.

@HeloProcurement I do think Caleb get a bad wrap on this. He never intentionally talks about it. The people on his show just cause it to keep coming up and every time he's asked about it he basically says "I'm not against these benefits I just want them going to the people who need them"

That's, somehow, fine and has been for 50 years. Some vets show up on the "I suck at life" show and suddenly it's time to reform the VA. That this is happening in light of the Somali fraud getting sidelined only makes it worse.

I think this is a pretty decent example of part of why we're all so pissed that the fraud thing is going on. We've been dealing with the VA being garbage since time immemorial. You guys talk about it, say "it's terrible". It never bothered you enough to get up in arms.

My favorite part of the VA discussion tonight is that not even five months ago I watched one of my Marines rapidly develop and get destroyed by rectal cancer that was linked to swimming in burn pits. He was one of several guys from that deployment that died that way almost twenty years later. Me and the boys are all pretty much waiting our turn at this stage. We had a company Gunnery Sergeant that was an absolute piece of shit on my first deployment. His hobbies included eating all of the Otis Spunkmeyer muffins, and finding menial and pointless tasks for the Marines to do when they could instead be sleeping. One of his favorite ways to pass the time was to sit on the hood of his gator inside of FOB Omar while the React Marines police called the burn pit looking for “non-burnables.” You see, the cool thing about a burn pit is that after a while they just stay on fire, like pretty much forever. They get real soupy in the less hot parts, and you can walk on top of the plastic soup. Sometimes, lazy Marines will throw pen flares, lithium batteries, SAW drums full of 5.56, and other random fun things in there instead of disposing of them properly. It was easier to toss the shit than it was to deal with Gunny interrogating you on why you needed to get rid of a dead battery. Most of the time, those things just pop on their own anyways. It’s no big deal, since it’s all just trash and it’s usually sequestered away from sleeping areas. For Gunny Diaz though, this was unsightly. You could see the “non-burnables” in the burn pit. What if the Battalion Commander, or someone from higher up the chain of command were on the OP when one of those things popped, or worse, what if they saw a radio battery!? Well, that would bring Gunny Diaz’s reputation as a Company Gunnery Sergeant into question. Can’t have that. His solution was pretty simple. Take the Marines from react, whenever they weren’t busy escorting Iraqis into the OP to get free money from “Captain Tom,” and have them wade into the burn pit to pick out the non-burnables. Easy. Gunny got a Navy Commendation Medal. We all get to have cancer twenty years later. Fuck you Gunny Diaz. You were and always will be a useless fat piece of shit, undeserving of the 0369 MOS and title of Company Guns. It wasn’t a very kinetic deployment. It wasn’t just us infantrymen that got to swim in the burning plastics. The cooks got a turn. The comm guys got a turn. The mechanics got a turn. Everyone got a bit of cancer swimming in. Great fun for everyone. Kevin died in November. He left behind a family who was entirely abandoned by the VA once he passed. They haven’t received any of the help his widow was promised. But yeah, financial Jerry Springer really do be doing the hard hitting investigative journalism on the massive VA fraud numbers.

@Aelthemplaer Saw the movie last night. Enjoyed it. Vibe was much more optimistic than the book. Movie cut out a lot of the on earth story that made it a slightly darker story.
