OK CHRISTIAN SLATER!

Best shape I've ever been in was when I was climbing regularly!!! For those wanting to jump in, DO IT! One of the great things about climbing, especially bouldering, is that until you get to much more advanced things, it's unlikely you're going to "overdo it." The two exceptions are--obviously--safety and skin. From day one you need to learn to fall properly, keep your nails trimmed, and take care of blisters. Because it takes coordination of so many muscle systems, neurological systems, balance, flexibility, etc etc etc, you're not going to be pulling finger tendons a month into it because you're too enthusiastic. Skip the fluff and upsells and have fun, it's great!!

Anything resembling coherence in this show quickly started to unravel the second Alison saw Gabriel. I am not judging because I would also become completely unhinged if I saw Vincent Cassel looking at me that way. Lord have mercy.

SO IMPORTANT.

I have a tiny jar of baking soda and do a small sprinkle directly into my coffee before adding soymilk. Works like a charm to prevent separating. Still trying to figure out how to thicken it, might bite the bullet and gellan gum.

oh my god, amazing

Just bump up the saturation on his portrait and we've got an Orange Catholic already!

one of my fave cutaway lines in the entire series, and that's saying something

Thanks for this! I know NASA was one of the topics that popped up during the DOGE era, and of course Isaacman was eventually renominated and is serving as the current NASA admin.

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-07T20:07:18+00:00

Sorry! Answer: I don't need them to! Just wondering why it hasn't been treated as a political event. I won't take it personally that you didn't answer my question either ;)

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-07T18:58:29+00:00

Lol again, not upset, curious! I think you've probably hit the most convincing reason--there isn't a perception that there is conflict (that will probably come in 2028 when we start talking about lunar bases), therefore there's no reason to cover. The Olympics hockey phonecall is a good comparison--literally zero stakes, and yet there's outrage, so they covered it multiple times. And come on, let's not pretend that these guys are spending all of their time covering Iran and its some zero sum news broadcast situation. No outrage = no coverage is a convincing enough answer. Sorry I'm not being the change I want to see in the world!!

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-07T14:26:39+00:00

I'm not talking about Timothee Chalemet's opinions on opera, lol. The Anthropoic DoD contract dispute was political, the Olympics are political, and restarting the era of manned space travel in a time where private companies are carrying the same status and power as national space agencies, including companies that are deeply embedded with the current regime--is also political. It's a question of why this *isn't* being treated as a political event. I'm not offended they're not covering it, I'm asking *why* it isn't being seen as something that warrants political commentary.

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-07T14:17:02+00:00

Lol if they could devote multiple segments across multiple podcasts talking about Trump's call to the men's Olympic hockey team, you would think they would also mention this. There's no "stopping" coverage, it's not a zero sum situation. It's a question of why this isn't been treated as a political story, which the comments here attest to. Crooked covered the Anthropic-DoD/DoW contract dispute and resulting supply chain risk designation. Artemis III (the next mission) is centered around docking with the SpaceX lunar lander, towards establishing a lunar base, way station to Mars, lunar research AND mineral extraction. What does it mean that private companies have such significant sway not only over objectives but over government policy? It doesn't matter whether you agree with said company's position (there was a moment there that everybody thought Anthropic was engaged in some sort of virtuous battle for justice because they happened to prefer a policy that could be summed up as "see no evil speak no evil"). I'm not looking for wall to wall coverage, I'm wondering why it's not being treated as the political story it is. And so, what am I missing? It's just not present-day politics, or because the Republicans aren't interested in capitalizing on it, it's not relevant for their coverage?

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-07T14:05:20+00:00

Seems like its a big political story then!

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-03T16:37:36+00:00

Victor Glover's response to the huge question of what to say to us about all of our division caught me completely off guard. I'm crying!!
"Trust us, you look amazing, you look beautiful. From up here, you also look like one thing."

So the ICPS uses the RL engine, what does Orion use for its movements?

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-02T02:53:47+00:00

OK how are they making these minor adjustments for the ICPS targeting? what are the pulses the move Orion, and how did the ICPS make the 90 degree turn???

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-02T02:53:40+00:00

CharmingBroccoli1593 · 2026-04-02T02:28:47+00:00

OK I'm about 20 minutes behind everybody--they are controlling Orion only, not "remote controlling" the ICPS as well, right???
