Same reasoning behind not giving infants anesthetics during surgery.

Is 'z' even in the British alphabet?

39 yo American. This is the first time I have ever seen or heard of the word normality... And I read a decent amount of British regency literature.

My personal opinion is that it fails because SpaceX, like a lot of space startups, embrace a silicon valley coding mindset of 'move fast and break things', which results in them spending much more of their time and effort on testing than on design. Make a change, test, make a subsequent change, test. It gets them to a working prototype more quickly than legacy space/ defense companies. However, there's no emphasis on modeling or design, which is problematic for solving complex problems that haven't been solved for 50 years already.

You mean like Starship?

So we oppose US intelligence agencies overthrowing democratically elected leaders in other countries but not their own?

Attacking the commenter personally is not helpful. Obviously the whole destruction-of-American-Democracy thing is very different. But let's look at some salient issues.

As far as the war in Gaza, Biden/ establishment Democrats still stood behind Netanyahu in the wake of Oct 7th. There was only slight functional differences in Biden's America's stance on Israel in Gaza and Trump's.

Less salient, adding a cap on mortgage interest deductions on taxes. Republicans under Trump I did it to punish wealthy coastal (high home value) residents who rented to vote blue. Democrats left it in place because they approved of people who have more home value paying more taxes.

It goes on. Both Democrats and Republicans failed to close Guantanamo, advance voting reform, advance marijuana legalization, end the war in Afghanistan, or take ANY action about climate change for decades, etc.

It's not every issue mind you, but Democrats are frustratingly adherent to the status quo while the United States has needed meaningful reform for decades.

Smite! Smite! Smite! Smite!

I'm in favor of sticking him out there and seeing if Zeus is ready to smite him yet.

Certainly the caricature of all of the worst parts of America doesn't know who he was:

Anything can be pappered over with greenbacks.

As someone new to Lemmy, thanks for asking this. I just joined lemm.ee from a Reddit link, and I don't know all the different flavors of the different domains.
