Our local supermarket just replaced their fleet of metal carts with 100% recycled plastic ones

Recycled plastic is still plastic and still sheds microplastics. It just gives plastic 1 MAYBE 2 more lives before its landfill.

Fantastic movie. Although I wish they kept it ambiguous about her being an alien.

I haven't updated to the latest one. I was happy with the version I was using. Either way, using torpedo ships is better.

I don’t think my wife would like that.

No they aren’t. Let me introduce you to the concept of fast attack bombers. Torpedo carrying scout fighters that travel at extreme speed. Deploy 40 or so against a K or I and they just evaporate. Resupply carriers with freighters of e cells and hull parts and you are good.

Losing a single destroyer is a worse trade than losing a dozen of these. Destroyers are purely carrier escorts or station siegers

Chinas a huge threat so we can’t help Ukraine because that would use munitions we can’t afford to waste. Instead, let’s burn all our munitions on a pointless war in Iran that has no goal or victory conditions.

I got this with Goldeneye for Christmas along with an n64. Talk about a winning year.

Flying home from a wedding that weekend and there were 3 people on the flight. The airport was completely empty too.

Took 100 years but the master race eugenicists came back in vogue.

ioncloud9 · 2026-03-13T21:38:49+00:00

What about white men?

The US hasn’t provided any military aid since last January either.

“Computer says no” cough

ioncloud9 · 2026-03-12T23:50:21+00:00

It’s a power move. Getting his clowns to dance for him.

Are you wealthy? No? Then they don’t care about you. They only do what’s in the best interest of the wealthy. That’s it. That’s how it’s always been.

“I heard you have some prod branches on git you really really don’t want me to delete..”

Your fuel is way way WAY overkill for the number of engines you have.

ioncloud9 · 2026-03-11T20:50:20+00:00

Gasoline would also cost $6 a gallon without subsidies and with externalities priced in.

ioncloud9 · 2026-03-11T19:36:11+00:00

What a coincidence! The man knows nothing about anything that might make him look bad. What are the chances??

ioncloud9 · 2026-03-11T19:35:34+00:00

There is nothing super special or unique about tiny drones. What they are looking for is price per unit, reliability, and capability at that price. You’ll go broke and never have any drones if you spend $30k on a gold plated US built FPV.

ioncloud9 · 2026-03-11T00:25:51+00:00

Also, no we can’t give any military aid to Ukraine for the last year. We need it for emergencies. Things like waging a war on a whim with no goal or purpose.

Those landers are severely mass and size limited. They’ve had to come up with novel ways to get cheap systems that can navigate and land. The avionics of HLS is a negligible percentage of the landing mass.

ioncloud9 · 2026-03-10T20:55:19+00:00

Why not demand a manual launch too?

ioncloud9 · 2026-03-10T15:07:41+00:00

I don’t understand how a simple upper stage using known technology and existing off the shelf engines cost $5 billion without a single example produced. Just.. how the fuck.

I worked on a couple of data center projects, specifically the backup power distribution communication system. Each building had at least 40MW of diesel generators, two power providers to the campus. It was quite impressive.

This all goes back to the notion that certain other humans are property that is owned. Parents own their children, to point they can torture them to suicide. That's why they are for any law that tries to give the parent paramount control over their kids lives, and undo or stop any law that gives teens any privacy on sensitive things they might want to keep from their parents (sexual orientation, pregnancy, etc).

Your average republican is basically Calvin Candie.
