Imgur is becoming rife with points-obsessed twits. Don't be one.
*patty
*golem. We're not waking it again.
They'd still have to be tied down because friction won't stop the coils in a high-g situation like braking, so you still have to tie them down. There are racks that keep them when they're stationary.https://securement.pslogistics.com/manual-section/coil-set-up-and-securement

Debris is tracked tightly, but also it's _very_ unlikely to actually hit a piece. The ISS sometimes maneuvers to keep a generous distance from an object.
This is flawed the same way as Apollo conspiracy theories: there's too many people involved in this for too long. Also it's not hard to track the radio signal from Earth with a small dish antenna: https://dxzone.com/listening-to-spa">y-radio">https://dxzone.com/listening-to-space-how-to-follow-artemis-ii-and-the-iss-by-radio https://www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl/2026/artemis-ii/
They don't work in warehouses. Data centers are perhaps the most fire protected workplaces - light a piece of paper, an alarm goes off and you have 10 seconds to cancel it or get out before the fire suppressant gas floods the place. They won't have access anyway, nor they want to ruin their career.
Yep, everything was nominal. Just a bit of fluff by OP, I guess.

unless she's strapped by her feet, which aren't in the shot
notice how you don't see her feetshe's strapped
I think they mean in the URL, but most servers don't just keep the same image in multiple formats.
she's tied by the feet just out of view
I've listened to this so many times trying to make out what Towa says after "nandemo"
I think that one's easy: "it's not an /s/; let your tongue hang out, touch your front teeth, blow _softly_". They'll be sounding like Daffy right away.
ankle strap and lanyard - don't trust someone's butter fingers
you don't see her feet, do you?lanyard
it is, but you're not seeing the lanyard on her foot
The format is actually great, but inertia and "good enough" are harsh bitches so it hasn't been implemented more widely. I've heard similar things about AVIF.
Yes, that's a good approximation, a bit like a D with a lazy tongue. You can also just follow instructions to produce it by touching the tip of your tongue to the alveolar ridge (gummy shelf behind the teeth), behind the D place and more softly: https://youtu.be/UMaobzfRtY4I think if you just start with a D and pull the tongue back gradually you'll get there.
Maybe they picked a diverse crew on purpose, and indeed it's a lunar orbit without landing (a simpler one than Apollo 10, btw). But if you haven't (say) ridden a bicycle in decades you don't start again with a super steep mountain trail. This is a new spacecraft (not reusing anything from Apollo) and a new generation of engineers and astronauts, so it's more like your kid following your steps to eventually outdo you.

"If you had any balls, you'd say 'Oh my God, what is that thing?' and then cut your mic" Michael Collins to Neil Armstrong, while en route.
they could've coached Brendan a _lot_ better for those two lines
This is "getting back on the saddle" to go beyond bootprints and flags and set up something for the longer term.
Yep, as a native speaker of Spanish it's so easy to produce. But many people assume it's always /r/, and then they start hearing /l/ in songs: "ilu" instead of "iru". Turns out, to them they're just ways to pronounce the same phoneme.
nope, can't say I've ever been clocked in the face with an unwrapped VHS tape (all sharp corners) thrown through a window like a fastball
For those wondering: Japanese does have an /s/ sound, but the forward position of the tongue when pronouncing it before /i/ (as in 'beet', not 'bit') makes the consonant morph into 'sh'.So you have sa SHI su se so; ta CHI tsu te to; za JI zu ze zo.
yeah, I got it right awayI'm neighbors with them so it surprised me that I hadn't heard it before
objection, it's a cat, so it can't possibly be sportsMANlike !
