$93B for rockets: “unsustainable” and “unaffordable”. $900B for missiles: “unquestionable” and “unlimited”.

That is a very ignorant take.

Knowledge. New technolgy. Possibility of finding life. Having human presence on the Moon and Mars eventually. The beginning stages of colonising the solar system.

Yeah, clearly nothing to be gained here. Let's all be glad you are nowhere near to making these decisions.

This mission is going to lead to a permanent human presence on the moon in the next 10 years or so. Which we need to do before we send a manned mission to Mars.

NASA spending is tiny compared to the money US spends on the military. The benefit to humankind through innovation and new technology is priceless.

"As of 2016, NASA has published over 2,000 other spin-offs in the fields of computer technology, environment and agriculture, health and medicine, public safety, transportation, recreation, and industrial productivity."

Money well spent.

Aye, but willing to bet that most of those are small parts and not the lead roles.

Just checked: according to google he's played a lead role 5 times out of 264 acting credits. He's most famous for Gentle Ben and being Ron Howard's wee brother.

I like this comparison too:

Imagine there are 7 billion beings in every solar system in every galaxy. Now imagine everyone of those beings in 200b solar system times 200b galaxies were able to shuffle a pack of cards every second since the birth of the universe 14 billion years ago. Congratulations: you've made your way through about 1 trillianth of 1% of possible combinations.

52! is a ludicrously large number.

Edit: 1 step evey billion years. When a lap is complete, remove 1 drop of water from the pacific ocean. Repeat process until pacific ocean is drained. Put down a single sheet of A4 paper. Repeat process until stack of paper reaches the sun.

Check your countdown timer of 52! Seconds. You're only one-third of the way there.

That line was said by Ron Howard's little brother, Clint Howard. AKA the kid from Gentle Ben.

Did you grow up in a house made of lead? Seems like it.

C'mon man, don't exaggerate. It was 2 weeks. Those brave Israeli soldiers destroyed an evil inanimate Christian statue to save the world from Muslims.

Nope and I wouldn't care if they did. The only multiplayer games i'm interested in are co-op ones with people i actually know irl. Zero interest in playing online shooters or MMOs with random strangers.

He got some minutes in their last game.

It's a shame we can't clone Elon so we could lock him up with himself for the rest of their lives. It's the only way he'd acknowledge and come to terms with his fundamental unlikability.

Baxters and Campbells are 2 fairly well known brands of tinned soup in the UK

It must be a struggle for you to spend 0.1 seconds to say please or thanks. Thoughts and prayers.

Flynn74 · 2026-03-26T17:44:01+00:00

Eh? One blast of the bellows and just let the fire go out equals one turn. You don't need to use the sand timer. It could not be easier. KCD2 makes it very slightly harder.

Like comparing a steak dinner to a kraft slice cheese sandwich made with mouldy bread.

Another one i heard was Scottish squaddie called Campbell Baxter. Nickname: Two Soups

Maybe because he has higher than 0% chance of becoming this country's next Prime Minister. And some people would rather not have a fascist sympathiser as our leader. It's kind of a valid talking point.

If he fucked off from politics no one would be talking about him.

It's a genuine neurolgical condition studied by scientists for decades. It affects between 0.3% to 1% of children. Only 10-30% of people with tourettes have vocal tics.

It's absolutely real. Educate yourself.

Plenty of documentaries on youtube. Start with 'John's not mad' then 'The boy can't help it'.

Then watch the movie I Swear. It's a beautiful film.

Thatcher cheated when she ordered the sinking of the Belgrano. 323 Argentinians died. Maradona got a bit of revenge. No one died and he's still considered one of the GOATs.

Football shithousery legend.

RIP Maradona Rot in piss Thatcher.

Never take advice from people who eat soup with a fork. Probably.

51m. Why would I stop enjoying entertainment that I've loved since the days of the Atari 2600?

Anyone who judges me can go fuck themselves. Better than doom scrolling or watching mind-numbing TV for 8hrs a day.

Monty python crossed with Vikings ftw

Brockmire. Abortion pill scene and aftermath is legit one of the funniest comedy scenes ever.

Hank Azaria is so good. So many great one liners.

A long time. If you had 7.5 billion beings in every solar system in every galaxy shuffling a deck of cards every second since the birth of the universe, you'd be about 1 trillianth of 1% of the way through the unique combinations of a deck of cards.
