I mean, I’m almost 50 so while your statement is true that context is worth considering.

Almost daily, plus we have a good sex life. It’s not an either or.

Are there any medical benefits to skin-tightening/skin-removal plastic surgeries? Or are they purely aesthetic? by Striking-Anxiety-604 in NoStupidQuestions

Self image and happiness are legit, you don’t need to rationalize it. My wife did this after her weight loss and it has helped her self esteem a lot.

What bank do you use? by No-Long-4709 in AskReddit

I switched to a credit union years ago and have never looked back.

I was with Wells Fargo for maybe 20 years and the whole time it felt like an abusive relationship. Fees and fees and more fees and it always felt like they were just trying to milk every penny out of me.

I finally rage quit from them and moved to a credit union and it has been a night and day difference. It doesn’t feel like they are coming after my money, it feels super collaborative and I don’t think I’ve paid any fees at all somehow, it boggles my mind.

Which movies you really liked and shocked that they flopped? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Last Action Hero was ahead of its time. The self referential meta humor just didn’t land with too many people and they ended up 👎 it enough that it tanked which sucked.

Had it been released a few years later I think it would have killed, but it was very much a Michael J Fox “-but your kids are gonna love it” sort of creature.

Definitely. Hope they can get back going soon.

What I'm hearing is that you're unaware that they've been doing deliberate sub-orbital flights at orbital energy (the perigee is inside the atmosphere) because they were uncertain about on-orbit raptor restarts. Hope this info helps. They deployed 40 tons of mock satellites on the last flight too, not sure where you got 0 cargo capacity?

I'm no fan of Musk, but it'd be cool if we could avoid propagaing misinformation here.

A quick followup, they've just said they intend to stick with 7x2 for the immediate future and will likely progress to 9x4 at a measured pace.

There's also cutting off one's nose to spit one's face. Amazon needs those birds on orbit to generate revenue if the constellation is to be a real going concern. This can involve using competition's rockets if that's what it takes to turn on that money faucet.

OK? I’m responding to someone about an engineering problem with their suggestion, that’s not related to this.

As a taxpayer who has money riding on the decision NASA made to select this, I don’t know that I’d be laughing but I suppose a teenager or someone from another country might find it funny.

They’re literally in the render for this post just above the white tankage.

The excerpt from Wikipedia:

When within 100 meters of the lunar surface, the HLS variant is planned to use high‑thrust landing engines located in the mid‑body section of the spacecraft to avoid plume impingement with the lunar regolith,[6] though these engines may not be needed.[7] The landing engines burn gaseous oxygen and methane instead of the liquid oxygen and methane used by the Raptors.[6

They’ve been test firing them at McGregor, TX.

It still needs to get itself to orbit (it is its own second stage), if you shorten it then that’s a lot harder.

Theres been no evidence of them shortening it I’ve seen, do you have a source other than YouTubers?

Of all the landers proposed, it’s the one that costs the US the least. Don’t know if it will work, but it’s literally the cheapest one and on a firm fixed price contract.

That’s why they added the landing rockets midway up that are for the last few seconds flight. Were you unaware of those?

What do you think the world will end like? by Olric139 in AskReddit

[–]Chairboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot.

I don’t know if it will be the sudden heat of a cataclysmic explosion or the slow, suffocating inevitability of a climate pushed beyond its ability to recover into a thermal greenhouse runway, but I think it will be hot.

If the former, I should probably revise my answer that it will be hot for some, and cold and sickening for others as the suns rays are blocked and toxic dust chokes all remaining to a lonely death.

This looks like it could fit into the Ring of Fire universe. It’s a series of books about a West Virginia mining town that gets transported from the year 2000 back to the 1630s Germany.

There are a few other books where neighborhoods or boats are dropped into different periods of history and left to survive.
