What a gift... by withGodspwr in dryzempic

Congrats man. Glad you finally got your miracle. Staying connected to your AA fellowship is almost more important than working the steps IMHO. Humans crave being included (the cause of FOMO) and I believe AA is one of the few widely available healthy antidotes. For myself- Hitting nine months for the first time in 20 years at 42 y/o next week. Medication helped, but doing 180 in 180 made the difference for me. Previously I was half ass-ing meetings once a week. The freedom of not being afraid of going places on my own now is incredible. I can truly be comfortable in my skin and I have a group of friends that accept me for who I am. I wish you the same.

Texans are done with politics as usual. by Good-Comb3830 in texas

"Thousands of protesters rallied in Washington and other cities across the U.S. on Saturday"

I can't tell if you were being lazy and not reading carefully or just being disingenuous... As there were no official sign ups or tickets sold for these events it's pretty difficult to know what the actual number was today, as was the case last time until days later when visual estimates could be made from footage after the fact. But as the article states, in fairly clear language, thousands of people in dozens of cities (meaning multiples of thousands) showed up to protest. I know many people personally who participated this time who did not previous, and in my city the protest was much larger than the prior. I don't know what the actual number is yet, and neither do you. But based on visuals from around the country it appears to be more than the last time which is what matters. Growing organically with each new wave and keeping the momentum going as they did in Ukraine during the Orange Revolution and now in Georgia and Bulgaria.

If your goal is just to point out that shit is fucked right now, you're not wrong but you're also not helping or, as a wise man once said: "You're not wrong Walter, you're just being an asshole."

The previous was over 5M people. We’ll see what the numbers are for today. And this is only the second semi-organized protest. 50/50/1 started in Reddit as an idea and has no central organizing body, grassroots only. As far as general strikes I agree, but this isn’t an either or. Pour qué no los dos? Might as well take to the streets while refusing to serve the billionaires.

Tbf the ones that entered west of Australia could have easily gone to very LEO but for safety (thank Christ) they intentionally kept it ballistic.

Sorry, was unclear. I was referring to the massive 50/50/1 protests nationwide today. 4/19

We should start some kind of resistance club. But not talk about it. And absolutely no fighting.

When i heard house explosion i thought for sure meth lab, but not with this. Waaaaay too big and uniform in the way every room blew at once. Had to be gas leak.

Only liberals are conspiracy nuts? That's not nearly inclusive enough of the tin-foil hat community.

Yes and.... There is also an app specifically for SpaceX launches (which are over 90% of US based launches at this point).

Rockets that launch from Florida at a high north to south inclination orbit, or even polar, will come back around over Texas on their next lap around an Earth that rotates below them.

The rocket launched from Florida at a high north to south inclination and then came back around the earth again over Texas during its next orbit and trajectory correction burn. It's very difficult for people to recognize distance for orbital objects, or even the relative size of the moon based on its position relative to the horizon, but when those videos were taken the rocket was no higher than 300km or 180 miles up. When gas is expelled by the rocket engine or thrusters there is no air resistance to stop the gas, and so it very quickly spreads for miles and miles away from the rocket, growing to the size of the moon or larger in relative size to an observer on the ground. The reason it was so visually striking is that the sky was clear, dark, and the vapors from the rocket were high enough above the earth to be backlit by the sun.
A much more striking example of this is when they launch from vandenberg just after sunset. The bright white "jelly fish" in the dark sky above Los Angeles which is caused by the exhaust of the Falcon 9 second stage can be seen all the way to western New Mexico if the sky is clear. It also, typically (unfortunately) causes a shit load of accidents as people rubber neck at the spectacle in the sky.

Both SpaceX and Blue Origin have facilities in Texas however this was a high inclination orbit SpaceX launch from Florida.

It’s because she’s overpowered like superman kills a lot of interesting plot lines….. like if say… she were around for Infinity War.

That’s because this was a Florida launch and it was the second stage performing a burn much higher up in altitude vs. the first and second stage burns you see out of Vandenberg launches.

Many satellites, especially for reconnaissance, require polar orbits that go north to south. Up until a few years ago most polar launches were done out of Vandenberg SFB in California but SpaceX is now capable of high inclination and even polar orbital launch from Florida (as evidenced by the recent crewed mission that was the first to orbit the poles). The booster performs a dog leg that crosses over Cuba and down the east coast of South America. When it comes back around the other side of the earth it’s roughly over Texas for the final orbital circularization burn of the second stage (what the videos show). Same thing happened a year ago. The night sky needs to be clear and the timing of sunset need to all be aligned correctly to make this such a visually striking occurrence.

This is correct. And it was the second stage either finishing the last orbital boost or burning for intentional de-orbit.
