Denazify Moscow!

@laurenlself Yes. I love my son, but that first few years with a kid were a financial disaster. We waited six more years to have another baby and were much better prepared financially.

Reagan launched his 1979 primary bid for the GOP nomination with an extended call for free immigration, free trade, and political integration with Mexico and Canada, where "peoples and commerce of its three strong countries flow freely across their present borders."

@brockpierson Watch who you are calling a fossil, junior. But I did just miss the age of punch cards, thank God.

@peterrhague I might still have that one in a box somewhere in the basement.

@DJSnM If there just one place to see, it's got to be Red Rocks!

@DJSnM sulfur?

@MichaelEWebber I can't say I have seen any indication that the gasoline infrastructure is shrinking. The EV charging infrastructure is definitely growing, but I still avoid using it whenever possible, and charge the EV 99% at home.

@SpaceAbhi Hopefully they'll soon be selling moon rocks in the NASA gift shops for a buck each.

@travelingflying Bloody Hell they don't. I married an uneducated lady for my first marriage, and it was a financial disaster. Requirement #1 when I started dating again after divorce was a college degree.

PhDs almost always take more than the 4 year limit Trump seeks to put in place. This is just a way to push smart people out of the US. Intelligence is the enemy.

Advice for future space colony life support system designers: Hydrogen peroxide is effective for killing pool algae but it is not a permanent fix on its own. Also: be careful how you clean your solar powered algae bioreactors. Hydrogen peroxide is not the best paint remover - but it does remove paint. #chemistry

@KenDBerryMD Have these sissies never picked a fish or lobster from a tank, and eaten it for dinner?

The US primary process is broken. It selects for extremism over national unity and results that benefit all Americans.

Case in point: Trump continues to dominate the GOP and purge any Repbulican who challenges him during the primaries, even as he plunges in national polls of Americans as a whole. Bill Cassidy, Thomas Massie, Brad Raffensperger, the Indiana redistricting opponents, etc are gone from the party. These are people who stood on principle over personality, exactly the kind we need, on both sides.

If we want functional US politics, we need to do something about the toxic combination of "safe seats" that always go to one party (80% of Congress) and primaries that select for the most ideologically extreme voters.

@DrPhiltill It still looks like some kind of anime character, not a real person.

@ramez @davidad In Denver, we also have big problems with finding enough water for new housing. Construction costs are only part of the problem.

BREAKING: Starship Flight 12 NET May 12, 22:30 UTC / 17:30 CDT

An advisory has appeared on the CADENA Operational Information System.
- NEW Trajectory
- Afternoon Launch Window

The window spans 22:30 - 00:43 UTC, which is 17:30 - 19:43 Starbase local time.

Instead of flying the corridor between Florida and Cuba, Starship Flight 12 appears to be targeting a more inclined corridor, threading the needle between Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

Despite this change in launch trajectory, splashdown remains in the Indian Ocean, with a corridor running through Madagascan, Mauritian, and Australian airspace.

@space_stations Looks like Starkiller Base. :)

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket
