SLS is also ridiculously expensive. They hope, with time, to bring the cost down to $1 billion per launch. And the first one took 6 years longer than expected. If we're going to get to the moon more than one more time before I die, this isn't the vehicle I'm going to pin my hopes on.

And like congress hasn't made that a pastime for the last 20 years.

I don't like the idea of politicians swaying judges, but it would be nice if someone told the Supreme Court that Biden has a number of teams standing by to create vacancies there should it be determined that it is, in fact, not illegal. It doesn't have to be true, mind you, but it's definitely something they should be thinking about when they make their specious claims.

"Hmm, we have this tradition of pardoning the former president for acts committed as part of his role as president. We did this because of our firm belief...that the president...couldn't be charged for breaking the law?" Yep, sounds legit.

There's good evidence that cats are the only self-domesticated animal we have. Coupled with the very strong evidence that stupidity, complacency and obedience were the traits selected for in man-directed domestication efforts, it's no surprise that cats are both more willful and more clever than most other domestic animals.

They can still be an enormous pain in the ass, just in different ways than dogs, so pick your poison. Cats, for me.

We've gone from the most reliable battery being an alkaline through 3 different rechargeable technologies as well. Too bad that research never pans out...

Chase it down? It says 720 Wh/kg in the thumbnail image.

So I went to my search engine of choice, typed in solid state battery, set the time range to 1 month, went to the news tab, and this is the first link. 2 days old.

Just because no one went out of their way to remind you that researchers are continuing their research doesn't mean they stopped doing it. And when the bar is this low to satisfy your curiosity, it really is on you. It would have taken less time to get the highlights than it would to post your comment.

If you could be exposed to the vaccine second-hand it wouldn't be such a big deal if you didn't get the shot (it would just take longer). But that isn't how it works.

This is always the problem with laisse faire capitalism. People have shown time and again, they will do whatever they can to increase profits. If we don't have regulations to stop them, and strictly enforce them, corners will be cut and profits will increase until people start dying in large numbers.

And this is, in fact, a dovetail. It slides into place. He just happened to do it on a curve. He shows it in motion at 4:00.

If you asked for a drink that's different and unusual and I suggested bleach, that would be out of line, mostly because it would kill you. There are drinks that are different that won't. How many unmoderated social media sites are there that aren't as toxic as Voat? Twitter?
