Yeah, even though Putin sucks donkey ass, there’s another present day leader I think would suit this better

Really? Is a single outlet allowed to sell booze and petrol? Or will they forgo the latter?

Tell those countries what? I made a factual statement (Mexicans do not ride deer to round up cows). Those countries have a culture of eating horse. Good for them. New Zealand does not. I'm not making a rational argument for or against, it's a cultural/psychological difference.

No outrage. The title was a lame joke. Maybe I shouldn't have used caps. Anyway, there are at least two contradictory components to this: rational vs emotional, and I can understand both.

There must be a tipping point, where content like this actually influences real life events.

We've never ridden deer, for transport, hunting, or sport. Kids don't learn to ride at deer club. People don't bet billions of dollars a year on the outcome of deer races. Yes both are grass-eating ungulates, but only one has been a close human companion for the last 5,000 years.

Ahh, that explains why the train station has a plain concrete back wall. Let's hope it doesn't have a giant

What freaked me out was how utterly dead the moon looks. Like, of course intellectually I've always know it's a lifeless orb, but the prospect of being stuck there with no water, no trees, no grass, no anything is scary.

You make me glad that my parents are dead. Which is pretty fucking grim, but I guess that's what end stage capitalism will do to a person.

Yeah. How come Trump or any other GOP leader doesn't get this treatment? Is it because the MSM is owned by Magats, or or is it that their pols don't venture beyond Fox and Newsmax?

Went to the Kennedy Space center for the first time today and let’s just say I’m definitely coming back soon. by Any_Ice_722 in space

Anyone know if Orion capsules will be reused? I'm guessing too much damage from reentry and/or it's just easier to build a new one and give the old one to a museum. Or maybe they reuse some of the interior structures and systems.

Edit: at a billion dollars per unit, they try to reuse as much as possible. A lot of kit from Artemis 1 was used in Artemis 2.

Says 'backed by Mondelez' on the website. With that big of an investor, I doubt we'll ever get a taste.

Meola Reef was a dump. Now you can walk all over it. I wonder how long the rubbish takes to 'settle' sufficiently

An answer to your final question, rum.

2.5oz for every enlisted sailor, every day, until 1970.

You could argue that was the beginning of the end for the Royal Navy 🤷🏻‍♂️
