You can use less washy words. For example you can say "a woman has been accused of a hate crime, if these alligatons are true then..."
The way these stories are written now not only use the "allegedly" they also tend to use language that down plays the event.
"possible hate crime".....
Well I did call him the Giant Tiger Dr. Evil but no one got the reference.
Space Launch System (SLS) is a joint project of Roketdyne, Boeing and Lockheed Northrop Grumman. My issue is that Boeing is not getting enough shit and the other two are not even known.
edit, got Northrop and lockeed mixed up.
Yeah, but NASA does not actually make rockets anymore. All of these companies get money from NASA not instead of NASA.
Its the Costco store brand, not really relating it to a city in a foreign nation. But the reason bazos is Temu brand is just since its funny. Feel free to call them <insert what ever> brand Dr. evils though.
Same for Boeing, Rocketdyne, Northrop Grumman and the like. Why are they getting a pass?
Blue Origin
From what I can find At least $2.5 billion. So maybe kirkland branded Dr. Evil (musk) is better at spending then Temu Dr. Evil.
Yes, it is clearly in the billions. I also get angry that Boeing, Northrop Grumman (the $50k for a hammer people) and the like keep getting a free pass wasting truck loads of money without delivering.
I am arguing in good faith, this is what I could find on the prices (and since this is a private (not publicly traded) company I do take it with a grain of salt). I think you might have a bit more emotionally tied up in this then you are willing to admit.
For more fun I started to look at some of the other development costs of Space X rockets.
Starship (the big spender) : $5 billion to $10 billion
Falcon Heavy : Over $500 Million
Falcon 9 : $300 Million
Falcon 1: $100 Million
Like I dislike the kirkland brand Dr.evil as much as the next dood, but I think boeing might just have a spending issue.
SLS cost to develop so far: US$23.8 billion nominal
Falcon 9 cost to develop so far (note this was for falcon 9 1.0)(estimate): US$300 million
Once again, not even close.
Even ignoring all the other aspects of one working and the other not; The big one is even with the musk grift the cost to taxpayers is orders of magnitude different.
SLS is Over US$2 billion excluding development (estimate) per launch. While Space X just upped their cost estimates in 2022 to $67 million per launch.
I was trying to trick the bingilator into making something I did not expect. Also I was just told to pick up bananas if I had the chance.....
Its funny at that point of my life I would have moved for the right job, but these where often my literal job but in a worse place.
Hey at least it is in the same city, I used to get ones for 2000 Km away.
But what if I stuff a turkey's succulent ass with the amazing flavor sponge that is tofu?
Really what is with peoples dislike of a bean product? I never got why tofu is seen as gross.
So the prompt I used was:
"The best space program ever made showing off what it can do. No space shuttle can be in the picture as it was a failed project. BING NO SHUTTLES. NO SHUTTLE! IF YOU PUT A SHUTTLE IN THIS PICTURE YOU HAVE FAILED AS A GENERATIVE AI MODEL"
Not salty at all.......
Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have noticed over the last few months my feed(?) has started to act odd.
No matter what I do I don't see any posts from .world. I checked and mander does not seem to block .world (kinda why I liked this instance) and even weirder is how my feed gets filled with mostly .ml posts with almost no activity no matter how I sort.
This did not happen before and got me thinking, I don't even know how this works across federated instances.
Does anyone know:
-
How does the sorting work on an instance? Is it all the same no matter what instance it is?
-
Did anything change in the last few months, that would cause all .world (and I assume others) posts to not show?
-
Other then changing instances what can I do to mitigate the weird slanted results?

The rural city of Grants Pass in southern Oregon has become the unlikely face of the nation’s homelessness crisis as its case over anti-camping laws goes to the U.S.

> The scenes were emblematic of the crisis gripping the small, Oregon mountain town of Grants Pass, where a fierce fight over park space has become a battleground for a much larger, national debate on homelessness that has reached the U.S. Supreme Court. > > The town’s case, set to be heard April 22, has broad implications for how not only Grants Pass, but communities nationwide address homelessness, including whether they can fine or jail people for camping in public. It has made the town of 40,000 the unlikely face of the nation’s homelessness crisis, and further fueled the debate over how to deal with it. > > “I certainly wish this wasn’t what my town was known for,” Mayor Sara Bristol told The Associated Press last month. “It’s not the reason why I became mayor. And yet it has dominated every single thing that I’ve done for the last 3 1/2 years.” > > Officials across the political spectrum — from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in California, which has nearly 30% of the nation’s homeless population, to a group of 22 conservative-led states — have filed briefs in the case, saying lower court rulings have hamstrung their ability to deal with encampments.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a controversial bill Friday stripping citizen oversight boards of their power to investigate police misconduct.
I keep seeing more and more news that fits here.....
Police in Japan have arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of selling illegally modified Pokémon save data to customers online — a practice which is banned under the country’s 2019 Unfair Competition Prevention Act.
Well today has been rich in boring dystopic news.....

Dang it, why are they not working more jobs?!
