Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

The best (worst) part was when I asked your representative to do the math as a gut check. To which she responded she'd have to check with a supervisor. I sat on hold for over an hour before getting disconnected. @californiapuc will get a formal complaint if not fixed this week.

Dear @Verizon @VerizonSupport ... last chance before I resort to filing a complaint with the CPUC. After spending countless hours on the phone with your support, I still can't get my bill fixed. Four lines at $31.11 isn't $300-800 and yet that's what you've been charging me.

Yes, I brought my own phone. Yes, I signed up for paper-free and autopay. Yes, I understand taxes and surcharges.

Looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie but it's not ... just captured this from the #Artemis live stream. Stunning! @NASAArtemis

People are interesting. Quick scan and I’m seeing maybe 5% of people wearing masks at SLC airport. Including one guy that didn’t stop to wash his hands leaving the restroom.

@andyd Agreed, based on my (admittedly limited) experience with mirrorless cameras it’ll be a long time before I can see retiring my 5D…

Amazing! 160 years since invention of the SLR camera. Canon, who made of top selling SLR of all time (AE-1), and top selling modern series (5D) can see the end of the SLR. I haven’t yet held a mirrorless equivalent that I’d use in pref to my 5D for staged portraits & sport pics.

Well progress was made… and then stopped. It is now late July and still nothing. This after paying a low five figure “install fee” in December. (Order was originally placed online in October.) That’s right… 9 months. Comcast has a pile of my money but I have no cable.

The number of hours I’ve blown waiting on hold or talking to people that are clueless is borderline criminal. The tech already visited twice, gave an estimate for the build, I agreed. Nobody seems to know what the next step is.

Hey @comcastcares @Xfinity do you want my money? Been trying for over a month to get service, agreed to pay for the build to my house. (200 ft from pole tap) Literally dozens hours on hold, in phone transfer hell just trying to get to a human that can get the order placed.
