I just don't buy that 3D printed gun killings are that far underreported.
We seize and connect absolute loads of 80% guns to crimes and murders. If it was just as simple as "we don't see them in crimes because ghost gun" that wouldn't be the case.
From what I have seen being a designer in this space for a long time, I think the answer is just that most people printing guns are smart, financially stable hobbyists who don't have typical crime motives.
Marco Rubio jokes about UFC Freedom 250
Cage on White House lawn.
"The president's threatening to leave it permanently... Maybe we'll just host weekly fights between people in politics and settle our scores that way."
Will you be watching the UFC fights today?
Can we debunk this nonsense?
Elon Musk was awarded (note: not given) cost-per-result contracts to perform a service for the US government. The total of those for SpaceX specifically is ~$22B, which includes repaid loans, state tax incentives, etc.
The deal was simple: put stuff into LEO at or below a set cost. If SpaceX does it below the set cost, SpaceX keeps the difference. If it doesn’t, the company is responsible for the overrun.
End result? SpaceX & Elon lowered the cost of getting 1 kg into LEO by 95-97% vs what NASA was paying previously.
And for the record, every other company around at the time was offered the same opportunity to bid on the contract - Musk/SpaceX just took it.
The handout narrative implies the taxpayer is the patron and SpaceX the dependent. The cost data shows the opposite: before SpaceX, NASA paid Russia’s Soyuz $80-86M per seat; SpaceX delivered at ~$55 million. SpaceX saved the US taxpayer $300M-$465M each year on that alone (the US sends 12-15 astronauts to space each year)
On the lunar lander, NASA estimated SpaceX’s fixed-price bid saved $20B-$30B vs the Boeing-preferred cost-plus approach.
So: SpaceX saved the US taxpayer more than the total value of contracts it earned on a single project, PLUS provided the US government with the requested services (put stuff in LEO) at the best possible price.
My girlfriend starts furiously cleaning the house when she’s upset
So when Max didn’t get off the line at Monaco she set off cleaning
It had been 4 hours, so I asked her if she will keep going and she simply replied “Brembo Brakes”
I instantly knew. She could not stop 😭

Thanks to the @oasishealthapp I’ve switched from poisonous FairLife Protein Milk to Bourbon and I can’t even begin to explain how much healthier I feel.
nuclear trained sailors average 12-36 weeks of training and they’re fine.
the grift of ‘we need foreign talent’ is treasonous lies.
any 16-36 american man out of nebraska can do any of these jobs you just don’t want to pay them or allow them to have families.
Again, Americans genuinely do not understand how much higher our standard of living is than most other parts of the world. Yes, your rich high school friend loved his month in Europe at five star hotels.
That is NOT how most of them live.
