finally took the plunge and joined bluesky
I have used twitter for almost 15 years but now Im just straight up seeing holocaust denial and random racial purity accounts show up on my feed. I gotta get out of here. if you are also on bsky and see this, lmk and ill follow you!
old joke: four rabbis are arguing doctrine. its 3 against 1. the odd one out asks God for a sign that he’s correct. it snows. the 3 dismiss it. it thunders. the 3 dismiss it. finally a voice calls from heaven, “hes right”. so one of the rabbis says: “alright, now its 3 against 2”
@_giacomo_volpe_@BlighttownNIMBY yeah like as example the elevator widths in NA are way higher than EU because you need to fit a stretcher from every orientation, but when you talk about it people then say you’re against “emergency response standards”
@TaS0022@Tulipspeculator@SeanMcCarthyCom@_LarryJ_ that one taxed sales, this one is just a yearly tax on living outside the city with an expensive second house. if this leads people who don’t want to live in new york to get out of the nyc real estate market that seems like a good thing
@hecubian_devil this is a good take. The thing about "slop code", is that most of the time its got objective things you can measure success with. Does this load? is it fast? do the tests pass?
But there isn't really an equiv for writing. Whether it "works" is way more subjective and vibes based

this isn't some mystery, you can look at the launches and the pad. spacex launched out of vandenburg on march 17th, 20th, 26th, 30th, and april 7th. Vandenburg has 2 pads but even halving that it's like one launch a week. let's be real here
@LowIQSpaceymen just to be clear I do agree that musk bit high on his own farts with the initial progress of starship, and it turns out orbital speed landing is super fucking hard (especially if you want it reusable). I just think SLS fucking sucks and is everything bad about 'old space'
@LowIQSpaceymen it's a hard problem.SLS's been in development for 15+ years, uses existing shuttle boosters and launched twice for a price of 24 bil so far. People saying starship would launch before SLS (which fair point they did) was less about hype for starship and more about how shit SLS is.
@donerkebab7@djonesuk@reddit_lies@davidbombal@ThreatLocker yeah basically you end up having to only radiate away on the side in shadow, and then the sun facing side you'd put very reflective material. so half the area, but still not impossible
@NMc1520321@sleethestak@sapphyreblayze I agree. I hope that isaacman finally cancels SLS and china spurs nasa and US to increase funding because as you said thinga are in the right direction
@NMc1520321@sleethestak@sapphyreblayze also I called you a bot because some of your sentences are a bit wonky structurally and your tag is a bunch of random letters and numbers. my apologies but you never know these days
@NMc1520321@sleethestak@sapphyreblayze 100% if they changed the design specs a bit the falcon heavy could have made this trip years ago. This whole mission is just a way to justify SLS, which is basically a jobs program for Alabama and Louisiana.
@NMc1520321@sleethestak@sapphyreblayze I am more talking about SLS than artemis. And you definitely can, you can do test launches that don't have a full integration test stack. Remember, artemis 1 was supposed to initially supposed to launch 2016 and artemis 2 2020. These things were not quick.
@NMc1520321@sleethestak@sapphyreblayze idk if you’re a bot or what but launching and landing are actually pretty important in rockets. The reason SLS is refurbishing shuttle boosters from museums is because developing new tech requires testing, which is too expensive and takes too long the way they do things.
