You're right, its clearly worse than rape. Given the choice between being raped or spending 15 years in federal prison, you know that you'd bend over and bite the pillow without a second though.

It was worth trying. They were using a new type of concrete capable of surviving higher temps. It tested fine under lower thrust levels. The next step was to try it at full thrust and see if it would survive. If it worked, it would have saved them a ton of money in the long run. It didn't work, but nobody was hurt, and the resultant damage was well within their ability to handle, so what exactly is your problem? As for the "village", its a small smattering of buildings, most of which are owned by SpaceX. They attempted to buy out all of the residents exactly because of the " danger close" aspect of it, but some of the residents refused to sell, which is their right. Are you suggesting that SpaceX should have had the government seize the buildings using eminent domain laws?
Life isn't a zero sum game; only children and fools see it as such.
Why in the world would you need links for something so well known? It's like demanding a link to prove that Neal Armstrong said "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". Don't be a fucking idiot.

I fail to see how having your own monistary could possibly fail to boost your productivity.
Of course there aren't; they fucking cut them down!
That's not a problem, that's a feature. I understand that you prefer to live in one large extended building; you are welcome to move to a place that builds such things. Most of us prefer some space.
I live in the USA also, and my experience couldn't be more different than yours. We have our own playground in our back yard which we also allow the neighbours to use, but there are also 2 playgrounds within walking distance. Public pool is wonderful and located right beside one of those playgrounds. Soccer and other sports are free through the local school, and paid sports/groups like gymnastics and martial arts are relatively reasonably priced. School funding is decent; good facilities, good teachers, good equipment (not happy about some of the bullshit being taught, but even that's not bad compared to many other places). A bachelor's degree isn't remotely required for a decent job; local trade schools and apprenticeship programs can have a highschool graduate earning an excellent income by the time he/she is early 20s. One common experience we have is that child care is indeed insanely expensive, however cost of living is so low that the wife and I decided we might as well just stick to a single income and have one parent actually spending time with our children instead of pawning them off on strangers. And I can't imagine children being treated as "nuisances" on the regular; but maybe that's just a difference in how we raise them. All in all
It's a dude? Thanks, that checks. Any time I hear about a chick being unusually prolific in a tech field, a quick check under the skirt quickly proves that the old stereotypes are still true.
Thank you. I can't believe the number of morons who have completely missed the fact that this study CONFIRMS the fact that for weight loss purposes, a calorie is a calorie.
Wait
I mean the irony of you talking about cognitive dissonance is just incredible
You're basically here saying "when left-wing people tell me that they believe misinformation, that's actually evidence that the right-wing is lying about the left believing misinformation".
You've been mind-fucked so hard that even literally seeing the evidence with your own eyes isn't enough to convince you that you're wrong. I really cannot comprehend that level of indoctrination. It's mind-boggling.
How I spend my money IS expression and government in the US isn't allowed to censor me.
My freedom of speech = freedom to spend how I want to spend my savings.
Oh, no, you're not the dumbest person in the room. That would be the spherical Angelo, or maybe rsilvergun. You might be a cranky thoughtless old curmudgeon, but you've got nothing on those two! Don't sell yourself too short.
You are aware that Facebook and prior Twitter took orders from the standing administration, correct?
