From that article: I think there’s an error there. Shouldn’t that say “political interference” instead of “political guidance”? Also, looking at the concept art with LFBs made me wonder if F9 cores could work, but they don’t have enough thrust. If they used 3 or 4 it would work spectacularly, but would probably require too much redesign of the core and MLP

Yup, intermittent issues are a nightmare for whoever is trying to fix them, in any industry

I'm with Elton on this one...

A bug that had a bug? That is a seriously bugged algorithm. One would think there should be some sort of penalty, so companies make sure their algorithms work properly before they turn them loose in such an environment and cause such havoc.

Fascinating. I saved my first programs to 5.25” floppies, while I remember loading programs from cassette into a Commodore Pet and an Apple II at different times. Maybe Elon can turn all his scrap stainless into stainless steel punch cards to store the Starship blueprints for posterity...

I just noticed that I haven’t clicked this thread since June. Do I get a cookie?

But pets don’t talk back....

Yeah, fakes are no good...

Blasphemy!

Also today,, Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer and voice behind Sesame Street's Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, died at age 85

Too many or not enough, depending on who (Mortimer or Werhner) is asking. The more interesting question is how many did I deliberately destroy?

If you have BG, I've used hinges to keep the stack narrower by folding the scanner parallel to the stack, then swing it out to deploy it facing out from the stack. Or, swap places and move that mod part to the side (use a cubic octagonal strut if you need a node) and the scanner at the top?

I believe the stock inventory system is there as part of the base game, for mods or BG to make use of. Without either of those, it's still there but useless.

RIP Odo.... First a the writer, now an actor. And bad things happen in threes? Kirk better watch his back....

And since it's in Forbes, this issue also made it onto TV's Global News National edition.

I hope so, it’s been a long time coming

We need FarSide optical and radio telescopes, although that two-week day might be a bummer

Pushing you to the 20k mark for that gorgeous Space Coast dawn. I know, not your pic, but still....

It's supposed to be set a few years after RotJ (which fits the stormtrooper style) so it's most definitely not Boba or Yoda. Mandalorians appear to have their own cult/religion, all wearing the same style of armor...

Yeah, that seems strange that they would have a sudden transition like that

And they didn’t even include a campaign mode! That’ll make sure it stays dead!

Good book, but been too long since I’ve seen the movie to remember if it was any good. Another decent Dirk Pitt book, on the other hand, was an awful movie. I certainly didn’t care for the casting

And, I had to update this earlier post with a newer, more appropriate meme...
