Dude, being alive puts us at risk of being injuring and exposes us to carcinogens. Firefighters signed up for the job, they know the risks. I guarantee there's not a single firefighter there that would've rather stayed home.

Dude are you kidding? Firefighters getting dispatched to a real fire react the same way dogs do when you say "walk" in front of them: they get excited zoomies. These firefighters are going to be reminiscing about how much fun they had on that call for years.

They've been creeping up the entire goddamn time. I haven't had to buy toilet paper since June last year (I live alone and work a lot), prices are up 25-30% from what I remember.

That doesn't matter when there is no fire suppression system to begin with.

Over-ear headphones work best, The top-end models from Sony, Apple, and Bose are the best for noise cancelling, expect to pay in the $250-$350 range. That said, even if it isn't perfect and some noise can still make it through, baby crying at <50dB is a fuckton better than a baby crying at 100+dB.

At this point if you're flying without noise cancelling headphones, it's on you lol

Ahahaha Amazon would lie out their asses all the time to make it seem like the delay was anyone else's fault but their own. Usually they didn't even have USPS tracking numbers despite saying it was with us, and the handful of times they did, when you'd check them internally, they'd never even sent the package through us let alone have it be where it said it was. Their logistics is a fucking nightmare that fucks up all the time but gets praised by investors because it's profitable.

I don't know how it is with other couriers, but when I worked for the USPS, leaving a notice was a way bigger pain in the ass than just having someone sign for it. 9/10 it wasn't the carrier that was lazy, it was the customer. There's a million ways to get your package, and they'd manage to avoid all of them lmfao. We'd try redelivery like 5 times before it gets returned.

Solar panels can be a few hundred meters away, and it probably doesn't need batteries because deserts get rather cold at night because sand doesn't retain heat very well.

Breathalyzer just means he wasn't drunk, and refusing to do the urine test tells me he was probably high. That and the fact that afterwards he announced he's going to rehab lmfao

ULA is separate from Boeing though and actually does incredible work.

This mission has been in the works for years of not decades dude, touch some grass.

Yeah, except that's not what she said. The quote she reposted literally said that Israel's actions are directly responsible for much of the hatred towards Jews. That is not even remotely close to "defending attacks on Jews" or whatever you're trying to misconstrue it as. You are part of the problem here.

Sounds like mostly horseshit to me. The first quote is incredibly vague and indirect, the second is just true. There's more to that second quote which makes it clear that it's about Israel being responsible for hate towards Jews because they can't stop genociding people, which, yeah. And that first quote could easily be someone completely misconstruing a statement about how Israel is using the Holocaust as a shield/justification to carry out their own genocide, which is also largely true.

The Atlas V has never gone to the moon, it has also never exploded or even failed once in its 92 launches. Assuming you're talking about the Saturn V which performed all of the Apollo missions, the answer is one partial failure, Apollo 6, which just meant they couldn't complete the original mission objective, but still made it to orbit and crew landed safely after several hours orbiting Earth. So uh, not sure what you're on about either.

Holy copium Batman. What "abnormal" stress have they been under other than the pressure to launch well before it's ready? You trying to tell me they all blew up because of bad weather or some shit? Lmao, I hope you remember how laissez-faire you were about their bullshit when a SpaceX crew becomes the first to ever be lost forever in space.

The Flying Fortress was the B-17. The B-52 is the Stratofortress. The B-17 was all but removed from service after WWII ended due to the large numbers of B-29 Superfortresses in service and newer designs entering service, even most B-29s were retired after the war ended due to how many they produced in its short manufacturing run.

What SpaceX does is not "testing to failure", they're cobbling it together and sending it, then fixing what broke last time until it stops blowing up every time. Actual testing to failure is pushing things to their extremes to see when they fail, not seeing what fails under normal conditions until it works *most* of the time. Test flights should not be blowing up half the time, if they are your design needs a LOT more time to cook in the oven before your next launch.

I'm confused what your point is. Practically every military in the world uses MRAPs like M-ATVs these days.

Yeah... "just fuckin send it and see what breaks" is NOT the type of mindset that you want when sending actual people to space let alone the fuckin moon. That's the kind of mindset the US Navy had with submarines (and Russian Navy STILL has) until multiple nuclear submarines sank with all hands. I want every valve, weld, and bolt meticulously inspected before people come anywhere close to flying on it, otherwise we're sending corpses, not crews, to the moon.

Why would they invest in building it for a country that doesn't want it, has lower energy costs to boot, and is no longer subsidizing the cost of building it? They can just go build it anywhere in Europe and make far more revenue with lower build costs to boot due to subsidies.

The Starship has also blown up half the time it's been launched and both the SLS and Orion are designed to be the safest launch systems ever developed. Can't wait for the next Challenger/Columbia type disaster where entire crews perish and SpaceX stans/goobers to go "that's just the price of doing business."

Newsflash, shitty people exist everywhere. This happens across the world. The only places it generally doesn't are where it's been made illegal (and those laws actually enforced).

The alternative would be to build them anyways and still not get paid so uh not really sure what you're proposing.

The bacteria that causes syphillis is only found in primates, so maybe if someone was fucking around with a monkey at some point which spread it to humans but definitely not livestock.

2 weeks ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I just perused the Wikipedia article on it, sounds like there's still considerable debate over whether syphillis was brought back from the Americas or had existed previously in Europe. There's emerging evidence that points to it existing prior but nothing conclusive so far.

Looks like it fits pretty well until the bee does some crazy shit by removing it. And why would I not try the simplest solution first? The last thing on earth I would expect is a fucking bee to be able to pry a nail out that's flush with the brick. You are brain broken.

They literally can't. They sign a contract that says the government owns them for X amount of years. They can only leave when that contract ends and they decide not to renew, or when the government tells them they can (AFAIK almost exclusively due to a medical or dishonorable discharge).

OR the person saw a bee going through a hole to their house, plugged it up with a nail, found the nail had somehow been removed, and recorded this video when they finally figured out how the nail kept getting removed because this is kinda crazy. Some of you mfs really need to go outside and touch grass. Not everyone is a little internet gremlin like you.
