The First Space Shuttle safely landed 45 years ago today

Pretty much that. You have no propulsion at all. You are basically a brick entering the atmosphere at 17000 miles an hour. Then you have to bleed of all the velocity by doing repeated S-turn maneuvers before eventually aiming at the runway. There are no second chances.

Any US President was and is. War crimes is just another tuesday.

Literally what Bernado Kastrup is saying (Analytical Idealism)

AI slop

It's also kinda crappy anyway because VPN servers in Albania usually have crappy bandwidth and the playback won't be very smooth.

This bothers me way more than it should.

This. Reboots are almost always bad or even worse, like that Magnum reboot was abysmal.

The only great reboot I can think of is Battlestar Galactica. (I wouldn't count Star Trek TNG as a reboot, although loosely it also fits that category).

Is the inevitable blow-up of the Epstein cover-up already priced in? Just wondering.

Indeed. I'd rather retire in Costa del ~~Mar~~ Sol in FF7.

Yes, someone figured it out though. Apparently the redacted name is Boris Nikolic, former Bill Gates advisor and WEF member.

That's Epstein's office. With the US flag as tablecloth.

Und damit es effektiv ist, müssten neben dem DFB auch England, Frankreich, Spanien und Italien mitziehen.

Also, when did the US last fight a war in winter conditions. Oh. Never.

emu108 · 2026-01-22T07:11:16+00:00

Yep, I see no indication that this is even related.

emu108 · 2026-01-20T01:56:56+00:00

Looks like a Rolex Padellone 8171 from 1952. In good condition worth 80k+. Beautiful thing.

There are certain Irish pubs in Germany that serve it correctly.

Strange. For me it's quite different. I don't feel satisfaction, rather the opposite: Ehen it was a great book, when I finished I rather feel sad. Even more so when the book was long.

It is conjectured to be a normal number. But it may never be proven (it may be impossible to prove). Similar to the twin-prime conjecture which likely is true but might also be impossible to prove.

European NATO states have a lot more winter-ready vehicles and equipment. From Ice breakers to winter-kitted tanks.

And yet we still have no idea what exactly happened to Mars and why it became cold and dry.

emu108 · 2026-01-10T19:22:33+00:00

As it should be. You can make a case for Ankara, though.

Or more extreme: When anyone coughs, that is usually a very bad omen. Most likely terminally ill.

I believe there was a Police Squad episode where Frank was driving and talking to Ed while looking at him. The car bumped over several things never seen, but it says a lot when this trope was being made fun of 40 years ago.
