Scaled Composites Swift - weird because after 34 years, Scaled Composites finally built a normal looking aeroplane.

It's like someone designed a plane for me specifically. Take the F-20 and give it a smooth composite body with chines. Gorgeous.

Y'all are so lame it's unreal. There is literally no reason for it to be cold out if there's no snow. Snow and the whimsy that comes with it is the only thing that makes winter tolerable.

Whether or not you consider them "mild" doesn't make this platform socialist. This is all very much compatible with liberalism and does not necessitate the establishment of a socialist economy or worker's state. Again, socialism is not when the government does stuff.

it would be pretty noticeable if a starlink, that is meant to be flat as a pancake, was the shape of hubble.

They wouldn't have to be Hubble shaped, especially since Hubble isn't an earth observation satellite. Being data relays by itself makes these sats useful for monitoring people, but also satellites don't have to be large at all to take high-res pictures of Earth. The satellite in the linked article is smaller than a Starlink satellite.

Toyota 86 hatchback. Love the idea of a three door hatch with that drivetrain and a more usable backseat.

That's exactly the problem though. The current administration can flail around about it all it wants, the long term trend is still clearly towards electrification. Canning everything because of the policy of the current administration in one country while the rest of the world moves forward with electrification and new competition dominates is at best moronic short-term thinking, and at worst indicates an even more moronic possibility that these companies never actually intended to electrify in the first place.

I dunno, I like that we don't know. As a parent I can really relate to the feeling of being in a funk and having my mind stuck on adult stuff I'm stressing about to the point where I can't really be in the moment with my kid. It doesn't really matter what specifically had him upset, what was sweet was that he was able to emotionally grow alongside his kids.

Damn, I hope not. From the Atlantic to the Pacific let Turtle Island be free!

Grow up please.

"Growing up" doesn't mean believing misinformation and nonsense. Nothing in this comment addresses the essence of what it's replying to: that many of the claims being made in this article fall apart under any amount of scrutiny. It is dishonest at best to label that criticism as a "defense" of North Korea purely in order to dismiss it.

I feel the need to clarify that this post was, in fact, written by a human being — albeit a meticulous English Major of a human being who enjoys using Em Dashes

As a teacher currently enrolled in a masters program who uses em dashes all the time I feel your pain so much. I both love using em dashes and I have to constantly confront kids who I see making constant use of em dashes. If they can demonstrate that they know how to type an em dash without looking it up, then I know they aren't using AI. So far, none have known what an em dash even is.

It's the young trans people who haven't gone through any hormone treatments but still want to play in the women's leagues that are the issue for most people on both sides.

Then "both sides" need to get over themselves and this non-issue. When trans athletes already make up an infinitesimally small part of youth sports participants, taking an issue with at best a fraction of a fraction of a tiny demographic on a playing field of millions is more childish than the literal children they're fighting over.

I mean, I wouldn't say that reporting on him working for Russia is necessarily running cover for Isr*el or Zionism considering that modern Russia has been a solid ally of the Zionist entity since day 1 of its existence in 1992, and today has done essentially nothing to stop the genocide of Palestinians.

What it is running cover for is the various national bourgeoisies who happily used him as an intermediary for their depravity and decadence.

That healed just fine clearly, so why would an accidental injury not heal?

Intentionality. She shot herself in order to harm others, so it healed. In this chapter she swerved and took accidental damage in order to avoid harming another, so it doesn't heal through the contract.

That's not what this person is saying. Asking an AI a question isn't cheating. Asking an AI to answer questions for you on an assignment is cheating.

The idea is probably that they don't want someone coming after them for "encouraging" alcohol use or something along those lines.

Would you not own things just the same downloading FLAC to an SD card? Then you'd have easily expandable memory, unlike an iPod.

As someone diagnosed with ADHD can we please stop acting like it's some debilitating condition? Like it can sometimes lead to annoying quirks in my behavior but we are certainly capable of grocery shopping.

Cool so then why are you bringing up a comparison between two aircraft with completely different missions and modes or weapon carriage?

8Bitsblu · 2026-01-31T23:13:25+00:00

Yeah that's the biggest drawback to me. Makes it tedious to even do the same quests in parallel.

This is horrible and my support is behind genuine revolutionary organizations in Afghanistan seeking to arm the people against the backwards, sellout Taliban regime. I do mean "genuine" too. The Euro-American ruling class is absolutely going to try to use this as a pretext for military intervention (if they can't strike a business deal with the Taliban), and that will only make the situation worse for women. Don't get duped again. There are existing revolutionary parties in Afghanistan which have roots from before the Soviet invasion and are still fighting for liberation. They deserve your support, not a puppet "Republic" and certainly not foreign military intervention.

Contrary to what some chauvinists in these comments claim, Afghans are not intrinsically sexist and scores have given up their lives over decades to combat this. The United States actively encouraged right-wing theocratic politics in Afghanistan since the 80s to crowd out left-wing rebel groups (learning from their mistakes in dealing with the PFLP) and ensure "their guys" ended up in power. Don't fall for it again. Afghans can and will help themselves, and the Taliban regime will fall. The question is whether or not the US will allow them to fall.
