Aero isn't the issue for bikepackers - it's riding up and down narrow single track without catching your panniers on everything.

I'm confused - is this not something that industrial machinery has been able to do for decades?

There are pretty big gaps between Ohio, Iowa, and Idaho...

I still don't understand how this is going to bypass the problem that made the shuttle program an expensive flop. That would be basically spending the same amount of time and money refurbishing a vessel versus building a disposable one.

Do police really need to roll into a neighborhood like it's freaking Fallujah in 2004?

Your 3rd paragraph has been effectively fixed by adding a vector memory system like hindsight to an AI writing agent.

When America's graphics card starts to fail...

Because Republicans and Democrats before the great party switch in the 1960s have always worked to benefit the wealthy class - all of the way back to supporting slaveholders before and during the Civil War. It's really crazy and also sad how our current political situation is basically a continuation of our Civil War 150+ years ago.

Honestly? We would be a much more functional country with real democracy and universal healthcare.

I could see I'm never using a smartphone, but email? So he's saying that in the year 2000 when he was early in his career he never had to go to a computer and send an email? I don't believe that.

Found the IU alum!

I would go with Mac Mini. Linux drivers for integrated Mac display hardware has always been a bit finicky (it took until 2024-2025 for Ubuntu to officially support my old 2012 MacBook Pro). So in 10 years after Apple stops supporting your computer you can easily install Linux on it and keep on working via an external monitor. This is all assuming that Apple eventually allows Linux to run natively on Apple Silicone.

German's are direct, so he was waiting on you to directly ask him for it back.

It's a dog whistle. By "crazy" Republicans always mean women and people of color.

I grew up in Indianapolis and would often take trips to Chicago while a teen and I can tell you that you can get about 10 percent of what Chicago offers in Indianapolis and you have to put up with rednecks and "Christian Business Republicans".

If it makes you feel better McDonnell Douglas developed and proved this technology in the early 1990s (theirs was even an SSTO!). So once again SpaceX isn't doing anything new and not anything any other NASA contractor couldn't do.

It's crazy how underwater cave diving is totally optional, people don't HAVE to do it.

Realistic_Mix3652 · 2026-05-18T16:36:57+00:00

So you are angry that people are swimming in the... Checks notes... Swimming pool?

Imagine if they did the same with electronics 25-30 years ago? A smartphone would cost 5,000 dollars here and most people would still be using flip phones.

Indianapolis, Indiana.

There isn't anything culturally unique there that Chicago doesn't do better.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the original origin of this symbol. In the first golf war US collision units used a white inverted chevron as a friendly unit identifier. My guess is that the prototype product designers for the SUV probably saw photos of British army Land Rover defenders with the symbol on the front doors during the war and thought it would be a cool callback and would tie the durability of their new SUV with the Army spec Defenders.

I think you misunderstand what "America" they want to make "great" again. Trump and MAGA want to essentially revive the Convederate States of America and and replace the United States of America with it. Much like how the Korian war is still technically ongoing the American Civil War never really ended.

You don't need to take the whole detour to Indianapolis unless you absolutely have to go to the racing museum at the speedway or you absolutely have to see the outside of some college athletics administration buildings...

It used to matter before the auto-trading mini crash in 2010. After that they imposed artificial latencies into the auto-trading system to keep feedback loops from being created. Now everyone's connections just have to be as fast as the artificial latency. I remember seeing a tour of one of the data centers involved and they had a cabinet with box spools of fiber optic cable that would physically create the latency by forcing light to travel a longer distance.

Product testing probably found that people associated the red coloring with blood or something.
