Headline says, “Flight 6 already tested” which is misleading until you read in the article it means static test.

only two flights, Flight 1 and Flight 4, have had engine outs on ascent. In fact, during all phases of flight for Flight 4, not a single Raptor shut down prematurely.

Contradiction, I think they mean flight 5 had no engine outs

I stopped reading here

Article seems to be full of typos that make the meaning unclear

What is the actual point of becoming a 1% co-owner of a rental house? Is this some kind of tax thing?

That’s probably good advice but it’s about 15 years too late for me to use it :)

<not autistic person>

The way I use those words:

A reason is a cause for an event or a thought process that caused a decision.

An excuse is one of:

• a true reason why a person did a bad thing
• an explanation (true or false) why the cause of events or decisions was somebody else’s actions, not the speaker’s actions
• an explanation (true or false) pretending to be a reason, that isn’t actually the true cause of the event or decision

If I said, “don’t give me any of your excuses” to somebody, I would be meaning all of:

• something bad happened and I think it’s your fault
• I want you to agree with me that it’s your fault and accept blame
• I think you have a pattern of not seeing (or not admitting) that your actions cause bad things, and that’s happening again now

This is a bunch of very negative stuff to be meaning. It could be whoever said that is an asshole, blind, or unfair. If they treat everybody with negative shit like this that’s likely and there’s just no winning with such a person.

I actually have said stuff like “don’t give me excuses” to my kids. I think I’m not an asshole. When I said it, I thought my kid was flailing about doing dumb shit without thinking. What I meant for my kid was, “I want for you to start thinking about how a chain of events fits together, and I want you to accept you have the ability and the responsibility to see a bad outcome forming, and to take actions to make a better outcome instead.”

I bought my very own gas station squeegee at a car parts store . Life-changing events.

I’m very ignorant here — what kind of discrimination in health care are we talking about? What does that look like, like the doctor just doesn’t take you seriously?

Campaign money goes where the votes go. Then government spending goes where the votes are.

You mean to say, power will be more evenly distributed per person instead of per acre?

I’m ok with this.

It’s a miniature laundry machine. People use them sometimes on boats and RVs.

That would be super awesome if navigation apps had profiles.

Like, when I’m driving my car I go the speed of traffic or maybe a little fast.

And when I’m driving my motorhome I go 65mph tops and really slow up hills.

But totally nobody does this. Even the RV Trip Wizard app (built around Here navigation) makes you choose between “I drive XXX speed on average” (ignoring actual speed limits and conditions, just assume constant speed) or just assume normal traffic.

Why can’t they recognize that different drivers drive differently???

This image appears to have been color-enhanced, in case anybody is concerned with reality. A brief image search (which will no doubt do wonders for my reputation with the CIA) shows cheetah testicles scrota range from tan to slightly-orangish-tan

I never asked for a credit score.

Unfortunately the credit agencies don’t have much reason to care what you want. There are people with money who asked for everybody to have a credit score

Truth. RVs and sailboats are not here. But I feel confident I’d get all the discussion I need if I wanted to install Linux on my sailboat.

We pushed “the guide to getting it on” on our children at a relatively early age and invited them to discuss, which ensured they would never, ever, ever ask us anything about sex.

Yeah this guy was great. Was. For a little while. Is he a cop anymore?

I think the issue is that the people writing the captions don’t understand and can’t write it down.

Obviously the producers could fix that but it would be a process change, which would take some attention from a powerful person who cares about the issue. As you imply, that seems to be in short supply.

First I’m hearing this claim — what did Apple do to Bluetooth hearing aids? My mother has been using Bluetooth hearing aids for a couple years now that have nothing to do with Apple, are you saying Apple was standing in the way of that?

Looks like. I was in Coober Pedy a few years ago and it was pretty much an ordinary town with ordinary buildings. There was a mining museum including an exhibit of how they used to furnish old mines and make houses out of them but I guess modern air conditioning has pretty much ended that.

Edit: ok the town was pretty fucking weird actually and very interesting. But it does appear to be 99% made out of ordinary buildings

Holy crap my iphone goes hard — I do not type like this:

“Women are not allowed in this world anymore because they don’t want their husbands and children in this country and the rest are forced into the hands and knees to get to work for their own selfish desires “
