I have a friend who won’t put his kids in the back of his Tesla because of this.

What is Russia’s motivation for confirming this?

Is the downside that quote posts make it easier for people to dog pile? That seems like it should be less of an issue because of defederating instances with that proclivity.

Yup, I always tell people I’m biased about WI because I left. I’m sure OH has a lot of similar reasons.

Welcome to the resistance… Dick Cheney?

I’m not really into the idea of moving everything to a baby Google, even if they’re currently good about privacy. They just added an AI tool to email and a crypto wallet, which could be either awful or great signs depending on your perspective.

Ron Desantis’s “Weekend at Bernie’s president” joke at the RNC, like every other accusation from the GOP, was just more projection.

So is his diaper

A DA will be a nice foil to the convicted felon.

So does Valve?

Realistically, there’s a SpaceX Dragon docked to the ISS, so that’s probably their emergency shelter and ride home.

This process led to Falcon, which is one of the most reliable rockets of all time. The launch rate and reuse are unprecedented. Iterative design is a big part of how they got there. Their prowess in manufacturing and mass production is another large part of that success.

It sounds like they still have some hope of bringing it back, so, fingers crossed.

It looks like more Venus probes will start launching over the next few years. There’s the Rocket Lab / MIT mission first, then more from the US, China, India, and Russia to close out the decade. Plus ESA’s next probe in 2032.

Better than nothing. Hopefully this prevents some deaths.

And it will hallucinate and give wrong answers

VW must be running them

What about Substack?

In 2018, right? When’s the 2nd launch supposed to be?

SpaceX, in a perfect world, just wants to be the railroad to facilitate others who want to build stations, bases, mining, recycling, etc.

As far as the greenness of rockets, recycling would be 5th in the 5 R’s:

• Refuse: refuse to use wasteful rockets? I don’t really know how to apply this one.
• Reduce: I suppose rideshares and vehicles with multiple hosted payloads are good
• Reuse: See: SpaceX
• Repurpose: Wet workshops?
• Recycle: energy intensive and would need tons of infrastructure to process and use on orbit

For the rest of us who aren’t in states with the trial this year, I’ve been using Freetaxusa for a few years. Free federal, $15 state.
