  1. Its the one who got missing and the second who was shot down <...>. Later folded Malaysian airlines. What's the probability of Malaysian Airlines (not PanAm (rip), not Lufthansa, not other giants) to tragically lose two planes one-by-one at rather strange and unusual circumstances? We'll unlikely know the truth about both incidents, and if we do, we'll unlikely recognize it. Did you personally know anyone onboard of any?
  2. Spacebanns commercials aren't banned.
  3. You forgot to take off your HelloWin mask. Waiter! Were you bringing this steak so long, because it's rare and hard to find?
  4. Granted. You get pasts and futures instead. I wish for hyperdimensional virtually limitless virtual memory.
  5. Yes, because the people would lose an aim of the life. Do the colorblind people distinguish Coca and Pepsi?
  6. "Look! What a horrible hurricane at the horizon!" P.S. Btw, you can switch the vowels, and the sense doesn't change. "horrible hurricane" = "hurrible horricane" (something horrible which makes you hurry up)
  7. A battery makes a rocket independent on power cables.
  8. 37B is not a bomber itself, it's a prototype of 37C, which is scaled up by 165..180%, so 5 times bigger, and thus will be able to carry a sixpack of the 37B cargo. So, it's a potential prototype of a maneuvering orbital aeroballistic sudden strike glider, used to place warheads in space on a custom orbit, and return them back if they weren't needed. You don't need to test the reactor fissiles launch-by-launch, every time with integer month duration and integer month interval. Because you dont store the reactor in space, you just use it, so such experiments are irrelevant for the reactor needs. Several tens of the Soviet nuke-powered sats were flying in space, and the USA could definitely make their own, if they wanted. It's a test of a pack of fissiles which are not to be used in space, but to be stored in space for years. You need a clear picture, how will the multi-layer pack of fissiles feel after years of being exposed to the space factors of all kinds. Including but not limited with long-term unpredictable solar and extragalactic radiation events, vacuum degradation of the materials, electromagnetic fields affecting the circuits and the conducting layers, dust and water particles inside the pressurized hull in zero gravity, etc. Unless it's a planned control headshot for DimorphosDidymos, it's a physical prototype of a space-storable warhead, able to survive a high-speed re-entry. Certainly, the SDA Space Development Agency and PWSA Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture initiatives are declared as purely defensive, but , and the X-37 warhead petting looks like a logical part of it.
  9. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-21/hyperloop-one-to-shut-down-after-raising-millions-to-reinvent-transit Hyperl...oops.
  10. The Generalized Constant-to-Noise Ratio is pretty invariant to the mechanical forces, but the Graduate Certificate in Natural Resources can be torn apart.
  11. My water heater is doing this too, when the charge is low. They should replace the ignition battery.
  12. A few words about the philosophical direction, known as Russian Cosmism (e.g. Tsiolkovsky and others). The English wiki article is absolutely tiny, so the Russian one. https://ru-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Кузнецов,_Побиск_Георгиевич?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp The photo. Additional info about the mentioned persons.
  13. On PC vs IRL. Lifestyle. The mind has been formatted.
  14.

Definitely an integer amount of months, probably 36 now. And definitely to expose something decaying. (That's why integer months.)
  15. Vendigo (a diminutive for "vendor", "vendie" + "go") A street salesman. Usually a food vendor, that's why associated with hunger.
  16. No, because you still can put the fire into a pot. If "potable" = "drinkable", is Harry Potter a drunkard?
  17. Inform their manager about the personnel pathetic look. Let'em wear Santa caps and smile better.
  18. What were these sadists going to find in her brain after just a several minute long flight? Disgusting and unforgivable. More unforgivable is that the CERMA has killed several more cats in similar way.
  19. It's not gone, it's completed. It's was mission after all. How much is many?
  20. It's a temporary design, to prevent its stealing by the foreign competitors. Last time the designer had made a wireframe model, Tesla immediately released a wireframe-looking car.
  21. There was a reusable shuttle, with 30 t of cargo. It was to replace all other rockets. But it was never flying with payload even close to its capability. The problem was not in the shuttle, it was in the presence of payload. And SLS has a great advantage, it's a foot-in-the-door for combat missile manufacturers, so it won't get gone. The N1 engines weren't gimballed. Looks Lovecraftian, like N1 inside in descriptions.
