California Renegade. Against the Liberal Orthodox. For the restoration of the Golden State.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

This is the story of New Space vs Old Space in a nutshell.

Neverending "Review Boards" vs. "Just build it and test it".

I hope Bezos succeeds, as I hope Elon succeeds with SpaceX and Rocket Lab succeeds with its reusable rocket

That said, it does appear that Bezos's "slow and steady" approach of step-by-step advancement, instead of SpaceX's of speed is paramount, has been generally discredited

The idea was that there would be fewer incidents like these and steady progress towards reusable rockets by going as slow as it took to do it right the first time, rather than pouring resources into making innovation and advancement happen quickly, as is done at SpaceX

So the number of hours worked aren't as high, the pace of innovation and experimentation is less frenetic, the goals are more realistic, etc.

But all that has meant is that Blue Origin is well behind SpaceX in capability. "Slow and steady" has just meant slow, not steady. Meanwhile SpaceX is constantly pedal to the metal and so Starship i

I think there's a great lesson in that outcome, one that Trump and Co. would do well to heed as the fight over ICE tactics heats up again. It's best to just go for it, and try to win quickly. Slow and steady will just mean slowness, if it happens at all. Stagnation is more likely, as such an outlook allows for it. Forcing progress by pouring resources into innovation and demanding success at a rapid pace from the best and brightest, however, does in the end stimulate success. Would be great to see that applied

What do Scott Wiener and homeless drug addict encampments have in common?

They should both be prohibited from being within 1,000 feet of elementary schools. Right, Nithya?

For those interested in the situation in Bolivia.

Evo Morales, former President/Dictator was running a child sex trafficking ring where he raped young children himself.

He was convicted by a court and is now staging a rebellion with his paramilitary force against the state.

Utter bullshit. EVERYONE has time and capacity to cook their own food.

[Dirty Engineer @Drte_engineer]

@MenAreSpeaking You can make it in even in metro areas and high cost of living areas if recognize the trade off and make the appropriate life style adjustments. People will do what they do and suffer the consequences and rewards there after.

[Donut Operator 🍩 @DonutOperator]

People REALLY don’t like being told to cook their own food.

Bravo @JeffBezos!

[RazörFist @RazorFist]

We don't.
Care.
About ISRAEL.

Not for. Not against.
We simply don't give a shiny shit.
That goes double for rural Kentucky.

The Sperg-Right will either wake up to this irrefutable reality?
Or they will remain a marginal irrelevancy in politics.

If I wanted to design an op to fragment, demoralize, and distract the Right it would look a lot like Candace Owens and Russell Brand asking whether Israel had secret control of Brigitte Macron’s penis and the rifle that killed Charlie Kirk.

The problem with identifying as Libertarian is that eventually you have to graduate from Jr. High School.

[Sheriff Chad Bianco @ChadBianco]

I hate politics. Honestly, I can’t stand most politicians.

The problem is as sheriff I’m forced to live with the consequences of their mistakes.

I can’t anymore. That’s why I’m running for governor.

[Sheriff Chad Bianco @ChadBianco]

California isn’t failing because of our people, it’s failing because of our politicians. It’s time for something new, something different. This is the year we take our state back.

[Dirty Engineer @Drte_engineer]

@MenAreSpeaking @Panagiotou90St Taking care of business. I see the usual suspects are still overreacting on this site. Caring less about what's happening internationally at this moment and more about the local politics.

[Sheriff Chad Bianco @ChadBianco]

The energy is here. CA is ready for change. No more elitist governing for the sake of their special interests and woke agendas.

[Dirty Engineer @Drte_engineer]

The key is to pair it with something rich and fatty. Hence the common use on bratwurst and reuben sandwiches. Vinegar and pickled vegetables are great at complimenting those kinds of foods.

Nobody actually likes sauerkraut. If you grew up eating it & developed some sort of Stockholm syndrome complex, you have my full sympathy & I withhold all judgment. But there is no way a grown adult tries sauerkraut for the first time & says "yum... more please"

[Dirty Engineer @Drte_engineer]

Was making a good point till the end. Jefferson was notoriously sympathetic to Revolutionary France, to a fault. Revolutionary France was literally the opposite of "Catholic France".

[Aidan Mattis @MattisRedacted]

One founding father had a slightly positive opinion of Islam before he encountered anyone who actually practiced it

Then he encountered people who actually practiced it, and he sent the US marines after them

Oh, and that same founding father’s favorite place was Catholic France
