@JAtanackov I think if I can ever see an Aurora as far south as Houston, TX, we will be having some serious problems... And not just because Houston is approximately Bortle 83 million.

@projecthailmary @PrimeVideo Need Blu-ray please

@JenMsft My problem is, everything has a blue icon lately - word, outlook, zoom, vscode, teams, edge, notepad, etc etc etc. And why did they change outlook from orange/gold to the same blue as word?? Yes I know it's not a recent change, but still...

@physicsgeek This morning, a very appropriate comic graced my feed...

@pcgeek86 Not by choice... Yt just randomly switches to it by itself

@Vizekonig @DJSnM I miss the one that was him (or maybe one of his kids) holding up a little paper rocket and making rocket sounds with his mouth as he moved it around. Apparently that intro was lost when someone stole his laptop.

@ColdHeart_Prj I have 2x 5-gallon gas cans for my generator. I empty them into my car every year so the gas doesn't go bad sitting in my garage. Yeah I could add StaBil or something, but don't need to do that this way.
Also, my 40v lawn mower batteries don't work for my car. 😁

@Neorio12321 @AnechoicMedia_

[Gibson99 @Gibson99dotcom]

@AnechoicMedia_ Exactly like everything else the IRS does. There is absolutely ZERO reason most people should ever have to file taxes - everything is computerized so we shouldn't have to go through all these forms every year.

@TSStarfish Conveniently, the art you just posted is on the cover of the album I'd choose. Test Flight.
Can't choose just one song though - no matter how good a song is, vi can't just put it on loop or I get tired of it. A whole album though... 😁

[Gibson99 @Gibson99dotcom]

@FastSloth87 @DJSnM Yup

[Gibson99 @Gibson99dotcom]

@guyrleech @metamacky If only self check was fast/reliable as humans... I avoid self check unless I only have 2-3 items. Saw a video years ago - scan items directly on the cart/trolley as you shop, then pay at checkout while the checkout stand itself bags everything for you. Still waiting for that!

@MekanipWrites To me, it's just like when people who don't have kids try to tell parents how to do things. Or when a non-computer person tries to tell a senior developer how to write a program. Exactly the same energy, so it's just as easy for me to laugh and dismiss/ignore.

@JenMsft (yes I know this is a washer not a dryer. Whatever. 😛)

[Gibson99 @Gibson99dotcom]

@JenMsft Just like laptops - "if not made for sleep, why is it made of warm?"

[Gibson99 @Gibson99dotcom]

@Starshi88212664 @ThreeDeDaniel Yeah, Congress messing w/ shuttle and making it way more complex than needed is why I have so little love for SLS - it's basically shuttle 2.0 but with a ton of downgrades and increased cost. What's not to love? (as long as you're in Congress or a company like Boeing) 🤢

@Mackieangrybea2 @ThreeDeDaniel @Mookafish @Erdayastronaut Ah, I hadn't looked at the mission profiles for the various Artemis flights. I thought they would try to land on the moon but this is basically Apollo 9 v2, where they just practiced docking and everything with the LM in LEO. Yeah no need for tankers & depot for that.

[Gibson99 @Gibson99dotcom]

@Mackieangrybea2 @ThreeDeDaniel @Mookafish Don't forget tankers and orbital fuel depots since they can't do direct ascent even if they expend booster. @Erdayastronaut just put out a long video about it.

[Gibson99 @Gibson99dotcom]

@ThreeDeDaniel "We might see starship explosions in the future"? That makes it sound like it hasn't blown up yet... But it has. Many times. And I'm not even counting the *expected* explosion when it tips over after successful soft landing.

[Gibson99 @Gibson99dotcom]

@Starshi88212664 @ThreeDeDaniel Even then...
