    Webb Space Telescope Takes Flight

    Thanks for the lengthy response. You're right. ULA is a joke compared to SpaceX as far as their innovation goes. They were so mad when SpaceX came to town and pissed in their kool-aid. Its why there were so many lawsuits that were brought on by SpaceX, challenging the government's decision to...

    Sounds good if is true PC gamer article

    Maybe it's to a point to where the foundation is done so now, they just have to throw bodies at SQ42. More bodies = more progress. Thats not always the case with game dev, sometimes no matter how many people you put on the project you really can't move any faster if certain things aren't in place.

    I guarantee you if this was a news cycle for a couple days the amount of people wearing masks will double at a minimum.

    Yeah but the government benefits are top notch. The downside is that senior officials have an incentive to sit on their ass and ride the rest of their days out on easy mode until retirement. Not disparaging their jobs and their achievements, just pointing out things I've been told by a NASA...

    Try harder, she has to understand! Pull out a penrose diagram. Show her the hubble deep field photos. Explain redshift and general relativity to her. And if that doesn't click, compare it to us confirming the existence of the higgs boson and gravitational waves.

    It was all theater. He can't pull funds appropriated by congress. He can "impound" funds for up to 45 days but then it goes back to congress to approve or deny.

    So theyre saying they dont want more boosters, they want a better vaccine. I didn't really think about that, I just assumed what we have is the best we can do, and the boosters were filling in the gaps as new variants emerged.

    Dealing with Loss (serious/emotional thread)

    If you do however want to be proactive, here's some stuff put pretty bluntly. I live with my elderly aunt who is also like a mother to me. She checks the obituaries every day to see if her name is in there. She talks about how she has all of this stuff ready for when she dies so I might as well...

    Dealing with Loss (serious/emotional thread)

    One day you're going to wake up and she's just not going to be here anymore. Don't spend *all *of your time right now worrying about what's going to happen too far into the future. If you worry too much and stress yourself out, it takes away from you being able to enjoy your limited time with...

    I can't believe I just now liked the top post. @Shive you should publish the whole thing in a book somehow.

    Talking to my aunt, she goes to Walgreens / CVS a lot and asked them why they had such long lines for the covid tests. Normally you should get an appointment, but they told her they're all the people who didn't make one. As to why they needed to get tested in the first place, she was told most...
