bruh

@_MaxQ_ Great question! With our first refurbished booster we elected to replace all seven engines and test out a few upgrades including a thermal protection system on one of the engine nozzles. We plan to use the engines we flew for NG-2 on future flights.

@sarlloc losing my ability to study properly. Started scoring wayy less, failed 2 subjects in 9th. Failed 11th entirely, had to give re exams. 12th was also miserable. It has ruined my rlsp with my father to a great extend and also ruined my mental health, where i had to take meds.

@sarlloc Can confirm about them asking questions above the kids grade. They told my parents that i would be left behind and become a nobody, etc. i used to be in the top of my class. After taking byjus, the pressure from them and my father (cuz he spent a lot of money) let to me 1/2

The most satisfying downfall for me. Salespeople from Byju's would insult kids in front of their parents by asking them questions 2-3 grades above their standard to make them feel dumb and sell their shitty course. One of their loser manager was boasting on linkedin how he tricked a poor farmer to take a loan against his small land to purchase a course from Byju's. Not only that, the farmer put that loser manager's photo in the little temple they have build inside their home, thinking this guy is good for their kid's future. Sales people from Byju's would trick people into getting loans telling them what they are filling is an EMI form and not a loan. They would get their money, and the collecting agents would later on harass the family. All this is just a tip of the iceberg of the shady shit of Byju's They did not build a business, they built an empire of malpractices and scams. I so glad the company is bankrupt.

#NationalScienceDay marks the discovery of the Raman Effect, encouraging young people across the country to continue pursuing their passions in STEM. Today feels like the right moment to share what we've been building to fuel further innovation at Skyroot.

The entire Starbase pad 2 water deluge system including the top deck was tested for the first time today. 2/16/26

Take me to the carwash.

We are also hiring elite engineers at our new 230 MeV cyclotron facility in Florida, where we are bringing single-event radiation testing in house to accelerate development across all SpaceX vehicles.

@BellikOzan @JoelSercel Ah, got it. Was not aware of laser thermal. Thanks

@yeeterman222 @JoelSercel Solar electric does give way to nuclear electric as you go much further out. But I think laser thermal is actually a better large scale & long term solution.

Ozan's post is basically correct. There is an argument for large electric propulsion tugs for cargo transport, but solar electric power always wins over nuclear.

This man who grew up in middle class India literally built the only startup outside US/China/Japan that sent rockets to space. Here's the never-before-shared crazy story of Pawan Chandana: > be middle class kid growing up in Vizag > terrible student, get 51 marks in maths > ambitious dad doesn't give up, puts you in IIT coaching > fall in love with math and science > go from worst to best in school > crack IIT first attempt > 2007: go to IIT KGP for mechanical engineering > everyone around you chasing big packages, consulting, going abroad > you just love rockets > 2012: join ISRO as scientist straight out of campus > pays peanuts > loves it > doing so well you want to retire here > but entrepreneurial bug from IIT days never left > dreams of building a global space company from India > but no policy allowing private rockets, no funding environment for space > 2018: quit anyway, ready to survive in rags > googles "what is equity" > zero connections > cold DM Mukesh Bansal on LinkedIn > he writes a $1.5M check > COVID hits, seed capital running out > Series A is a brutal struggle > no fund invests > founders of renewable company Greenko invests > 2021: PM Modi opens up space sector to private players > become first company to sign MoU with ISRO > get largest check in Indian DeepTech, $51M > Nov 18, 2022: launch Vikram-S: India's first suborbital private rocket > reaches 90km > Prime Minister Modi inaugurates your new facility > grow to 1000 employees > build India's largest private rocket factory at 200,000 sq ft > valued at $527M > first orbital launch, Vikram-1, planned in 2026 > will be one of ~5 companies globally regularly launching to orbit > next: reusable spaceships > Open Space for All We talk a lot about Elon Musk and SpaceX, but imagine having NO prior wealth. Being in a developing country. Constantly saying no to money. Being unable to raise any venture funding multiple times. Being called crazy by everyone. And still having the perseverance to dream beyond the stars. I'd call Pawan's story inspirational, but honestly it's more than that. It's beyond what I can fathom.

@AbhinavXJ gave bad feedback to one of my prof in a non-graded subject (meaning it doesnt affect cgpa, you just have to qualify the subject, which is ez) cuz he wasnt teaching shi and was giving unfair marks. Bro fucked up my internal marks, also externals. I failed the subject👍.

average tier3 engineering college > non-motivated professors > outdated syllabus > only motive is to finish the syllabus before exam > just read out loud a PPT in the class ( which they didn't even make ) > give shitty grades, target students who question them > profs get a heavy paycheck for teaching nothing whole sem > feedback form, which never is considered

@Swole_Medic tracked a single merlin up to 32 flights (sn129) at one point before I lost it. It was last on 1062 but was removed before 1062 crashed. that was two years ago. probably sent it to hell at mcgregor or something and there's no doubt in my mind they've surpassed that since

@vigiciann Do we have an alt for that biscoff spread?

Parle g has same ingredients as this btw… stay away from this imported palm oil slop and stick to indian palm oil slop
