Pretty much just kerosene. So not the best, but not horrible. It just uses LOX and RP-1 (highly refined kerosene) for fuel.
Destin at Smarter Every Day and Steven Mould seem like solid guys, and content similar to Tom Scott if you haven’t seen them.
“lack of experience in the area…”
Boeing dwarfs SpaceX in experience building spacecraft.
Mercury and Gemini spacecraft were both built by the McDonnell Corp. That company merged with the Douglas Aircraft company (which built the 3rd stage of the Saturn V rocket) becoming McDonnell Douglas in 1967, which merged into Boeing in 1997. Boeing itself co-manufactured the space shuttle orbiters with Rockwell.
On paper and judging from experience and history, if you were going to pick a single company to build a spacecraft, it would be them. Not some brand new company run by a space-obsessed software engineer.
Clearly Boeing has huge cultural issues and has for a while.
Just saying if you wanted to go off experience alone, they’re the best there is.
That is a notable change from “we’re just double checking things on the Starliner, which we think we can fix. We expect them to ride it home soon” that has been the message for a long time. Now it’s “we’re looking at all options”.
Or what has been called one of the most historic and tumultuous years of a century (1968)… Yeah.
Now I gotta look up 1973. Never heard it mentioned in this context…
Answer:
That’s what the saying means. It doesn’t mean perfect isn’t good. It means perfect is great, but don’t let it stop good.
They technical don’t make airframes or doors either (and still don’t until their buyout of their supplier goes through).
They did it once, then did it again and not only is it still just a fine, the fine didn’t even go up. Given inflation since then, the fine actually went down in real terms.
That’ll teach them for sure! /s
My thoughts exactly.
Hopefully this isn’t too pedantic, but it shouldn’t say “first name” on any of these. It should say “given name” or “personal name”.
The entire point of the map is that it isn’t the first name for some cultures.
“Ewoks Caravan of Courage”? “Star Wars Holiday Special”?
You can say it’s all fun. You can even say you like it all.
I even like the sequel trilogy over the prequels (because I’m of a certain age).
But not sure about “all” Star Wars being “great”.
That’s awesome. Bookmarked!
I think that’s the basic premise of the Star Trek hypospray. Pressure pushing in medicine rather than a needle.
Most of the people you’re thinking about as a problem haven’t read the Bible either. They’d think the stuff Jesus said was commie, bleeding-heart, socialist stuff (because it is)
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.
Or my favorite variation: You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t wipe your friends on the underside of the car seat.
Roadrunner & Coyote. Tom & Jerry (mostly, there was some weird talking occasionally). Shaun the Sheep. Pink Panther.
Lots of examples of famous main characters who lead shows with little to no dialogue.
There are also characters like Snoopy and Gromit who are silent characters in shows where others speak, but there are long stretches where they do their own thing with no dialogue.
That’s the great part about Lemmy - just switch instances or roll your own. No need to complain about heavy handed mods!
I avoid watching trailers because they are loaded with stuff that I consider spoilers. I skipped past your list of things in the Asokha trailer for exactly that reason.
I understand not everyone thinks that way, but I’ve had too many great moments in a movie/show ruined by poor trailer work (Phantom Menace, Thor Ragnarok, etc). If there’s a movie/series I know I want to see, why risk spoiling it by watching a trailer? I go in so much fresher and ready to be surprised if I avoid them.
So I feel like anything new in a series that is currently airing is spoiler territory.
The guidelines I’ve usually heard is also to give people at least a week to watch an episode. Not everyone can watch within hours of an episode debuting.
From what I can see in your post history, you haven’t commented on a single one. I think I know at least part of why they’re dead. Maybe that’s a Lemmy account thing where I can’t see it though.
But I can’t say that I have gotten a few responses when I’ve been posting. Not always live during a game, but the beginnings are there, considering it’s still preseason.
