@Adam65207241 plus it probably staged at the end where there’s a glow and/or the angle is look into the back end at that point in flight so the plume looks wider…..totally normal.
@Adam65207241 I don’t see it, the ticket follows a normal trajectory as it rises to parallel the ground. The fanning exhaust happens as you fly higher into lower pressure atmosphere where the plume expands…
@MichaelAArouet The characterization about southern Italian ‘culture’ is ignorant. S. Italian immigrants thrived/flourished wherever they went; the US, Australia, SAmerica, Canada. They started businesses and grew massive wealth. Ideas about cultural malaise/differences belies the history.
@MichaelAArouet Have you ever been to Italy? The Apennine Mountain range runs right down the middle, it’s pennisular, w/thousand(s) yr old towns built up in the mountains for defensive reasons now depopulating as seniors pass on.
The north is more flat with prox to the rest of Europe.
@dotkrueger@americanmlnm Well not really, Biden’s team realized Trumps focus on China and delinking chips was strategically smart and they followed through as they did in a few other Trump 1st term things. Prior to Trump no Dem was taking about China as an adversary nor a strategic threat.
@Andercot Yes the blue origin capsule isn’t coming in at the same speed as dragon. BO goes straight up like a baseball, hits a peak and returns in free fall vs dragon which is at orbital speed then reenters where it sheds speed for heat…
@dotkrueger That’s true if markets are equal
in purchasing power, consumption, the US is the prime consumer market so Trump’s leveraging this knowing they need us more than we them, to force trade equity, not tariffs alone ie non tariff imbalances as well.
@AnnaBower So what, she’s a junior level, 4-6 yr, nothing to lose, it’s still a grind at that level, probably wanted to leave anyway, and she’s smart to publicize a likely ‘popular’ move in NY. So bottom line, she’s a climber, don’t canonize her.
@leftcoastbabe @batts_jlynn @TomiLahren@DOGE Yes, because the SS # is used to provide cover for illegal employees; the system doesn’t/can’t cross check (thx DOGE reporting this) ss #’s with other data. On the ‘books’ you can match a number of employees to a number of SS #’s. And so a pool of SS #’s masks illegal hiring.
@leftcoastbabe@TomiLahren@DOGE It’s not the fraud and abuse, DOGE has said repeatedly the 80/20 is indifference/auto mode payments v fraud. Multi IT systems don’t talk.
Folks > 120 or < 11yrs are low hanging fruit yet checks are going somewhere. An IGA report from 2008? said the same. No one cared to fix it.
@leftcoastbabe PS, the ponzi scheme is the fact that your money’s already been spent by decades of reckless congressional spending, it’s not in a Gorian ‘lock box’, more like the movie ‘dumb and dumber’, you’re banking on a suitcase full of IOU’s. The $ printing must continue or we default.
@thorsson_john It’s ‘bottom line’ is to be a steward of the public $ trust; misallocating billions of $ because no one cares or are indifferent is a violation of that trust as it w/b from a board of directors, ie a business. And $ wasted is unavailable for more public good or can be refunded.
@WASDTF2@choeshow She’s getting charged a/malicious mischief. No one‘s going to jail, the people they’re trying to lock up as terrorists we’re fire bombing dealerships and being paid by larger organizations and where was your outrage when they were locking up 70 year old grandmothers.
@OlgaNYC1211@EricLDaugh@elonmusk It wasn’t. It was a discussion about ‘doing it, ‘let’s do it, etc… only Goldberg is saying it had that level of detail but won’t release. This is exactly like we saw for years with ‘anonymous sources’ and Adam Schiff stating publicly he had evidence that never materialized.
@TaraBull808 He had this info 9 days ago, he waited until Sun the day before a planned senate meeting w/intelligence folks as a setup. This was planned, an insider got him, of all people, on the chat and he waited for the senate meeting to release. Now he’s threatening to release more. BS.
@SpaceChickJen Damn, yeah it’s a condition….great photo. Check out Everyday Astronaut, Scott Manley and The Launch Pad channels on YouTube, good reporting and assessments of all things rocket/space hardware related.
