Rockets are needle-like affairs, no different than a dart or a bullet. If you have allsorts like cameras poking out the sides, they would snap off or upset the trajectory. The resistance at the top end of a rocket is much greater than at the bottom. Thus, you cannot put cameras on the upper stages o...

There is still no uncut video of a rocket going from earth to space It is a video of a rocket going up to an altitude of 56 kilometers. Space supposedly starts at 100 kilometers. I don't normally get involved in these things, but in order to get that shot, you'd have to build a second rocket, attac...

That sounds weird. I'm not criticising it, but why?

In Marxist terms, it's a 'crises in capitalism'. Parachute in a reserve army of labour to drive wages down and increase profit. It's a strange sort of 'leftism' that would support this.

Sort of interesting, in terms of his demands on Canada. He's going after the 'Digital Tax Canada' applied by the Trudeau government retroactive from 2022. It's a 3% levy on the American tech behemoths (META, AMAZON, Uber etc.) for the money pulled out of Canada but not subject to taxation as the hea...

The McDermott effect reared it's ugly head in the second half, the Bills were cruising and then went into an offensive shell. Up by eleven with two quarters to play? Let's kill clock. Fooking hell.

If you climb a water tower (with or without a rifle, your choice), you can count at least one other water tower at each point of the compass. That's how flat this place is. We gotta pump our water into the fucking air before we can have indoor plumbing. Y'all better stay on the coasts. You're not t...

Unfortunately the tundra doesn't have a need for a bridge.

Tundra does not prohibit the need for bridges. Invest in clocktowers, they're cheaper.

Bucatini is a go-to pasta here. But rarely with such a light sauce. It is best in my opinion when used with a rich, heavy, red sauce. But wouldn't a heavy sauce not fill the Bucatini? You'd need something light to penetrate the hole in the pasta. I am in solidarity with Mikey's choice of sauce, pro...

His “threats” are a means to get the attention of countries he wants to rein in as far as trade, border security, etc. Undoubtedly there are more diplomatic ways to do that, but , after 4 years of being walked all over, his point is that shit is over and done. We won’t be kowtowing to anyone any mo...

Jobs is like Buddy Ryan, he's got his system, he's running it come hell or high water. Bad year for those tactics, I remember hearing October was the worst months for books in 15 years, nothing but faves covering the spread. Then Bet QL is saying the worst season for 20 years.

Well don't stick your feet or hands in it. It may feel nice at first, but it's no different than eating too much delicious buffalo and then getting a tummyache.

Just my advice, hide in the cave next to the sacrificial rock.

Fire is a wonderful and mysterious thing, Mikey - but shouldn't your people have had a sit down with the village elders on it's practical uses? Someone should come round and explain the dangers of fire, bubbling tar pits and poisonous plants.
