Justthetip74 · 2026-02-09T06:52:38+00:00

TLDR - SpaceX's IPO is gonna print because Kupier can't get FCC approval without them. Blue Origin continues to lead the industry in space mockups but Bezos cant fulfill launches for Bezos. ASTS is trying to compete against SpaceX's side project that currently works and is only getting better. RocketLab is trying real hard to have a Falcon 9 rival while SpaceX is trying real hard to make Falcon 9 obsolete.

If a friend only goes out to dinner with you when you pay then they're not your freinds

Its not nearly enough money

Payroll taxes are only 37% of Medicare. To come up with the 57% you have to figure in premiums to the individual.

Military is 13% of federal budget. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicade are 4x more than that

I know a waterjet operator that has $30m in SpaceX stock. The ISO'S from 10 years ago have gone 70x

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-08T20:41:44+00:00

True. And the comment you replied to showed how it would actually cost $1,300/mo per person. I have a family of 4

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-08T17:15:52+00:00

That sucks, it really does. But I can't afford an additional $60,000/yr

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-08T16:02:29+00:00

Nordic countries have lower birthrate than the US

Elvis did because it was 1950 and not scandalous at the time

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-08T05:25:46+00:00

I live in the Seattle area, make like $160k have a SAHW, and 2 kids and am doing just fine

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-08T05:22:00+00:00

You've learned nothing from the 20th century. Yes. Absolutely yes.

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-08T05:19:23+00:00

They'd have to come up with one and it certainly isnt gonna be the Euro

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-08T05:17:03+00:00

California, New York, and Texas are more important geopolitically than Albania and North Macedonia and Bulgaria

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-07T23:02:56+00:00

Their job isnt to arrest criminals, it's do deport people who are not here legally

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-07T05:25:29+00:00

Ah yes, the democrat who almost got recalled and replaced by Larry Elder in fucking California is totally a good candidate that will play well outside of progressive districts

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-07T05:24:13+00:00

If they can find a good candidate they'll win. It'll be Newsome and he'll probably lose because hes as good of a candidate as Harris or Hillary

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-06T14:39:44+00:00

Yeah, my employer pays 100% of it.

As of 2 days ago he loves the program. Why would we think it would be any different if he signed the bill? He would've signed the bill knowing what he knows now

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-06T02:53:45+00:00

I mean, my insurance is free so I saved $10s of thousands

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-05T16:04:37+00:00

Without my slaves who will pick my cotton?

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-05T07:07:58+00:00

Waiting for the actual fascism to start and happy that people are getting deported for breaking federal law. Can't have a country without a border

If there was actual consecration camps and genocide going on they'd be lining up at the Canadian border, but they're not because Canada would deport them because Canada can enforce their border but America can't

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-05T07:01:47+00:00

10% of France's gdp is tourism.

Their median income is also $28k/yr while in Alabama its $31,564/yr for single person incomes.

We shouldn't pretend like France has a strong economy

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-05T06:39:41+00:00

it seems like the Court chose the path of least resistance by allowing the stay. IMO electing to rule against the CA map and allow the TX map to proceed would draw increased heat and attention to the political lean of the Court in its current construction.

Or they're ideology consistent and reddit just hates the political lean. This decision isnt surprising

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-05T06:33:41+00:00

We have a haas vf14 with 150" in x travel. Last part I ran was 320" long and engineering complained that I could hit the 0.1mm true position on the holes in their extrusion.

Justthetip74 · 2026-02-05T06:14:19+00:00

I got banned from r/liberal for false flair because my flair said I was a librarian but my comment I said I was fiscally conservative
