I’m going to buy a metal baseball bat and have the words “Spirit of Clair Patterson” engraved in huge letters on it.


since the law is exempting politicians
But only politicians who toe the capitalism line. If this guy had advocated for living wages instead of sniffing underwear, he’d probably have a mysterious car accident.


I can’t wait to see where everything goes!!
I wouldn’t dare spoil anything, but I have a hunch you’re not going to be disappointed.


I still think this is all because Trump is too stupid to understand mercator projection.


This is amazing. Without spoiling anything, the major running plot is extremely relevant to current world events. It’s aged very well. It’s refreshingly free of “end of history” brainworms for an American sci-fi show made in the recent-post-USSR era. The CGI is a little cheesy but it’s not as bad as some people would claim. And I know for damn sure that hexbearians will love the S1 episode “By Any Means Necessary”. If the episodes are embeddable I think it would make for a fantastic hextube experience, the moral of the story is basically “shoot fascists on sight” which is a message that I think many reading this can get behind.
Trekkies are going to love a lot of the guest stars. Fans may have bickered, but the production crews and actors of TNG/DS9 and B5 were on very friendly terms, you’ll see a lot of familiar faces getting to play against type in fun ways.
Spoiler-free advice to new viewers:
Don’t google anything. Go in totally blind. This is not a “Lost” situation, plot questions do get answered in very satisfying ways.
Skip the opening credits for seasons 2, 3, and 4 until you’re about 4 episodes into each. I don’t know if the youtube versions have spoilery credits as I can’t watch at the moment, but most streaming platforms have the spoiler-credits. I’ll update this later when I can watch the youtube version and confirm.
The first season is a little uneven. I’d say it’s about on par with DS9 in that respect, it’s certainly nowhere as bad as TNG S1/S2 were. It soon finds its feet in S2 onwards. It took a little time for some of the characters to be fleshed out and for the showrunner/writer and actors to nail down the performances. There’s a tragic IRL reason for one famously wooden S1 performance, but that’s resolved by S2.


I’m wondering if it’s also about having factories in places difficult for Russia to bomb.


I’ve spent too many decades with C and its cousins to wrap my brain around Python. These days I’m pretty much just using Go, with a little C++ for microcontroller-powered projects.


I’m excited to see further R&D successes for the Mengzhou capsule. It’s a good design, a big improvement over the Soyuz-derived Shenzhou. At this point I have little doubt China will land on the moon on schedule. There’s always the chance of some showstopper issue in the future, but so far so good.
I really like Long March 10. In a way it’s like a scaled down Saturn V, and almost certainly way cheaper on a kilos-to-space basis. And I especially like the crew-safe propellants. No solids, no hypergolics, just plain old kerolox and hydrolox which is about as safe as it gets in spaceflight.


I’d bet it works for a day or two, then your account will be suspended due to “suspicious activity” and will require this ID process to unlock the account.


Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge between Ontario and Michigan . I’m sure it’s a total coincidence that a close political ally/donor owns the existing competing tolled bridge.
But it gets better. In the same truth/social/whateverthefuckitscalled post, he claimed that if Canada/China trade deals happen, “The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup”.


When I’m in a trolling mood and on some forum where chuds gather (like reddit) I’ll post screeds that the last act of the standing US military (before it’s disbanded for also being communistic government interference in the free market) should be to actively destroy all public highways and bridges to make room for private toll highways and bridges.


People with less to lose are harder to control. It’s not about money, it’s about power.


And all of this is because they have to use hydrogen because the US senate required reusing space shuttle contractors so they have to use the RS-25 engine, designed for reusability, in a disposable way.
I hate SLS. Stupidest fucking way to build a rocket in the 21st century.


It’s an entirely different kind of flying, altogether.


It was a missed opportunity in 1945. It’s not well known but Canada was a part of the Manhattan Project.


For anyone curious about The Owl House and who hasn’t seen it before, please don’t read up on it at all beforehand, let this wonderful series surprise you.


Australia has particularly nasty laws regarding governmental access to digital services via individuals involved in providing those services. UpScrolled cannot be trusted.


Prediction: American voter registration in the future will require a background check by ICE to confirm citizenship.
I wonder when Trump will learn the term “stacking the court”.
