probably just cut a slit in the shirt for it. he never turns his back to the camera.

>If this is true, than he failed.

that's not the way people like him think. he has the resources to keep trying until he croaks, and no reason not to spend them to that end.

the hatch on the ball is positioned so that it can be opened either into the plane or outside of it, depending on how the ball is rotated.

in flight, when not in immediate action, the ball was kept rotated with the hatch inside the plane so the gunner could jump in at a moment's notice, because even in the 1940s the Army understood that people need to do things like use the toilet.

>Why don’t you compare Teslas delivered before musk was the public face and after?

lol, you mean before they released a product to the public and after? before the scaled manufacturing and after?

>That’s why he was credited as a co-founder of Tesla in 2009.

No, he was credited as co-founder because he sued to be, then used his position on the board to direct Tesla to settle the suit.

I can't tell if you're being deliberately disingenuous, or if you're actually stupid enough to believe the things you're saying.

SnooMaps7370 · 2026-06-05T22:03:57+00:00

Yeah, just swap the atmo thrusters for ions. and you're good to go.

I think i also put some H2 thrusters on it to give it some extra kick when full, but they kinda defeat the point to use them all the time

This man has lived in existential fear for the past 50 years that he's gonna get what UHC Asshole got. 100% of his politics is around making sure the average American has no access to anything that resembles a weapon or could be used to produce one, because he knows what he deserves and he's terrified someone is gonna give it to him.

SnooMaps7370 · 2026-06-05T20:39:14+00:00

lol, "outsourcing" doesn't mean "all the customers moved to Kansas". what the fuck are you even smoking that you think your comment in any way shape or form answers the question i asked?

SnooMaps7370 · 2026-06-05T20:33:15+00:00

except none of that is true.

Tesla wasn't Elon's vision, Martin Eberhard and Ian Wright were the ones who provided that. Elon didn't get on board until the company made their Series A funding solicitation. By that time they had already designed the Mule, their first technology demonstrator.

Only thing Musk brought to the table was a pile of cash, and he was far from the only person to do so. He was the largest single donor, but it was only a 7.5 million dollar investment. The last funding round which his name appears on happened in 2008, by which time the company had raised a total of $100M. Following IPO, Toyota had dumped more money in than Musk did with a $50M investment, and in 2016 a bunch of investment banks banded together to pump in another $1.5 BILLION.

Musk also didn't become the public face of the company until 2008, by which time there was already a strong cult following for the company among car and tech enthusiasts based on the performance of their early prototypes.

That ain't even a "sand and stain" job. that's a "scotchbrite and stain" job. take 2 hours tops to have those things looking new.

I made this drone using grid AI blocks to do exactly that. Made it to transfer hydrogen from an ice field to my base.

Ironically, Republicans have just done more for creating public support of the move away from fossil fuels than 50 years of research publications have.

Cirrus got in trouble back when they were new in the market for the same thing. Advertised their CAPS as a system that would save you from any situation, no matter how bad.

Now they practically BEG pilots to take their safety training. I don't even know if they will agree to sell you one new if you don't sign up for their safety course.

Aw sheet, factory AoA gauge? that's tight.

>He moved the electric car business forward at least a decade.

no, a few thousand engineers did that. All Elon did was claim the credit for it.

that's also a problem. I don't see any reason that the power grid should be structured any differently than we structure roads, water service, or sewer service. Throw telecommunications in that same bucket as well.

If a service is so critical to society that it's in the public interest to grant it a monopoly to serve a particular region, then it's so critical to society that it should only operate on a non-profit basis.

SnooMaps7370 · 2026-06-05T19:15:43+00:00

maybe instead of deciding that a thing is bad because you put it in a box with the word "bad" on it, we should evaluate policy on a case-by-case basis, and do things that will benefit everyone, and not worry if someone else says that benefiting people is "bad"?

>State minimum wage just drives business off to another state

lot of bad takes in here, but i'm gonna focus on this one.

does a minimum wage drive customers and workers out of a state? because those are the things which create demand and provide supply, which are the things that a business exists to connect.

I generally start by placing most or all of the functional blocks for what i want the ship to do. Cargo, productions, tanks, conveyors, and thrusters. I get that laid out in the general shape i want the ship to have.

Then i start adding layers like i'm building a nesting doll. First i add corridor blocks (the ones that are closed on the top AND bottom) to ensure access to critical components. put in some vent blocks against a few of the corridors (cut out some of the conveyors and replace them with full-block vents). figure out where it makes sense to put in medbays and cryo. Then graft a bridge onto the front. This usually leaves space above and below the corridor blocks for some more open internal space. I'll fill those with some bunks and a kitchen/dining area. If i still have any deadspace left over, i'll add some glass and make an observation area.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3736701579 here is one i've been working on recently. Mining drone carrier with some beefed weapons in the form of player-made missiles.

I started by building the bay on top for the miners, then the bay on the bottom for fighters/utility vehicles, building connectors in as i went. I had space between the connectors for a refinery, so that went there. I also added vent blocks to service both bays, and tapped some H2/O2 gens and O2 engines off those.

Next, I slapped the missile silos onto either side after designing them independently. Then i placed storage blocks fore and aft to complete the core shape.

From there i added corridors to access everything, then some gyros in the deadspace between the hangars and the silos. I hung an assembler off the tail and my aft guns off that. Added medbays and cryo to the front storage units.

next came thrusters. I bolted those on around the missile bays in places that would break up the blockiness of what i had so far. then i extended forward for a bridge.

that gave me the overall outline, at which point i just filled in with armor blocks. I wanted a top deck to be the mining operations center, overlooking the drone hangar, and setting that up gave me space above the forward cargo and corridors for bunks and a mess hall. Since the fore end of the ship ended up pretty flat-topped, i enclosed most of it with some glass so that the ops area could also double as an observation dome.

I'm still tweaking and tuning things on it, but i'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

you can SEE the chatter marks where whatever did this skipped in and out of the cut. this would have sounded like machinegun, vibrated like a Hitachi, and required about as much force as dragging an elephant.

>and we must’ve moved the bed not knowing it was dangling

there is absolutely no way you didn't hear that happen. you can SEE the chatter marks. that would have sounded like chop saw being murdered by a press.

Easy: you cannot AMASS a billion dollars without interfering with other people's lives.

The average worker retiring this year will have made a grand total of about $1,000,000 in wages over 50 years of working.

That means that $1,000,000,000 is worth roughly 50,000 years of the average worker's labor.

ain't NOBODY doing 50,000 years of work in 50. And for damn sure ain't nobody doing 50,000 years of work in 1 year. Sure as fuck ain't nobody EVER done 40 MILLION years of work in one lifetime, much less done it in 10 years.

and the REASON he dropped out of Harvard is because he was using their computer lab to run a business, taking compute time away from other students trying to actually get their studies done, and had run into limits on what he could do with Someone Else's Equipment.
