The rockets exploding is differen than the rest. It’s literally rocket science and blowing up a bunch of test vehicles is kinda par for the course, and SpaceX has actually been pretty sucessful overall.
But that has zero to do with Musk.

I’m starting to wonder if these Armageddon cultists see Trump as the Antichrist and see that as a good thing.
Anything to bring about the end.


Insurance companies make deals with hospitals along the lines of “We’ll pay 1k for this procedure which should cost 300 bucks, or 40% of your standard rates, whichever is lower.” So the standard rate becomes $2500.
Then the insurance company will require a 40% “copay” based on the standard rates, and the patient ends up paying the $1000 and the insurance company doesn’t pay shit despite collecting hundreds a month in premiums.
If you tell them you don’t have insurance they’ll frequently discount the fee to the $300 it should cost.


He didn’t have to move aside. She drove around him. Her last action in life was making sure not to hurt the man who was going to kill her.


But the prices won’t go down. Reductions in production costs are only reflected in sale prices when there’s a market force driving the costs down. Right now, people have to own cars, and the barriers to entry into the matlrket are too high for new competitors. There’s no reason for the auto manufacturers to lower prices if their costs go down. They can just pocket the difference.


In my experience the window also isn’t usable from the window seat unless you’re really short. And the way the fuselage curves up at the side, there’s also no shoulder room.


The point is that even six-figure earners are struggling.
And there’s something to that. People with 6-figure incomes tend to work in more metropolitan areas where housing is very expensive. I make about 80 grand, and the only reason I’m getting by at all is because my drive to work is about 2 hours with traffic. A modest 1br apartment in the city where I work is about $3,000/month.


I feel like there’s an opportunity for a multi-layered Epstein-Barr joke in this whole situation, but I can’t quite put it together.


That’s why you have to light the fireworks before eating them. They undergo a chemical reaction when lit and are not longer gunpowder after a few seconds.


Yeah. Bastards everywhere should feel insulted.


Did you see the video?
Even the AI knows he has issues with his diet.


Squirrels are very frequently hunted with a .22. It works great for squirrels, but (like a pellet rifle) can be lethal to a human - especially if you shoot them in the head.
And there’s legitimate reasons to shoot squirrels. I used to do it for an exotic animal preserve because their population would explode and they’d eat everything in site.


No, the liquid helium cools the magnets to the point where they become superconductive. As to how that works exactly, I do not know. I don’t think I have the math for it.


Depends on the machine type. Closed bore machines (the vast majority) use supercunducting electromagnets that are surrounded by liquid helium that creates a very strong magnetic field. To demagnetize them requires dumping the helium.
Some open bore machines use electromagnets, but they’re much less common and not as powerful.


Every 118 years then.


Sus a slow clock, not a broken clock.
She’s right every couple decades.


If a 24-hr clock is one second slow per day, its correct once every 236 years.


K-12 schools and universities in a state can also be very different in terms of quality.


They mentioned shitholes full of idiots.
Do KitKats even have chocolate?
