Wouldn’t work from home allow the government to sell office buildings it doesn’t need, and therefore save money?

That only works if the other guy stops punching you when you try to negotiate.

$40k a year sounds super reasonable.

That being said, it’s not crazy to ask the country who has been developing anti-Russian weapons for 50 years to donate those weapons to an anti-Russian cause. That’s what they were built for after all.

If you think that Starship has the exact same issues that SLS has you’re truly stretching reality. A billion dollars and two years is a TINY cost overrun compared to what they are doing. I know it sounds like a lot but for comparison, SLS costs like $2.5 billion per launch, not including development costs.

Ehhh, two years late for a rocket isn’t terrible. Space is hard.

But yeah 2030 is an aggressive timeline. I’m shocked NASA didn’t go for an Apollo-style service module and lander that gets assembled in-orbit, launched by Falcon Heavies. That seems like the least crazy architecture and requires very little new technology.

Slightly worse in design, far better in consumer-friendliness!

Practicality beats purity, sadly.

Another thing it means is that if we had ranked choice voting, those 3rd party votes would be the deciding factor in who won the presidency.

Agreed on all points. Trump is intentionally using a legitimate but small problem to excuse and fuel his overt racism.

I 100% agree. If you read my comments you’ll see that I said we should not deport people who haven’t been found guilty of espionage. Collective punishment is evil.

In what way is it naive to say that Chinese espionage is real?

Or are you implying that we should deport all Chinese people because a handful of espionage actually happens? Because that’s morally abhorrent.

If you’re making a claim, please cite your sources.

Bad people can do good things sometimes, and you should never interrupt or shame them for doing it. Many people on the internet forget that.

I said I do not agree with collective punishment. In no way should a Chinese person be deported or put in a camp because a different Chinese person was engaged in espionage. Only people found guilty of espionage should be deported, period.

What I’m saying is that Chinese espionage is based in reality, unlike the claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets.

As much as I despise the policy of mass deportation (collective punishment is morally repugnant), at least this has a plausible reason behind it instead of “they’re eating our pets”.

BRB, raising another round of capital to integrate NFTs

If you think hyperlinks have any danger of going extinct, I have shares in a crypto-based AI-powered bridge to sell you.

Nukes. The hesitation is always about who is unhinged enough to actually fire a nuke.

Muscular never really hurts, it’s just not the most important feature.

He was fuck on in his twenties, and then fuck off in his thirties. We already established that.
