That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life.

Nope, that wont help you.

Why would I include rockets from a different company when determining quality?

Do we lump Microsoft and Apple together when discussing quality of their software, since they are both from the USA?

Yeah right. They will just keep things as shitty as before except charge even higher prices once they get Uber and Lyft banned.

What makes you think they won't protest over that as well? Anything that hurts their regulatory capture will cause the same reaction.

I am a big fan of SpaceX but it is hard to compare this. You can't realistically lump in all of USA made boosters and compare them to a single rocket. But you can compare each company and rocket family individually.

Ariane 5 has been flying in various configurations since 1996, and after the first disastrous failure due to a software error, and 4 failures in its first 14 launches, it has over a decade without a single failure for 63 launches in a row.

Falcon 9 has a perfect record for 13 launches, but is much younger, only flying since 2010, so it is more difficult to compare reliability. However rockets tend to fail more early on. (see Ariane 5 for an example)

Both are excellent launch platforms, but it is likely that SpaceX's cost is less which makes it popular. Once they have the reusable system going, Falcon may become unmatched in price per launch.

I have never seen a bottle of beer overfoam at a bar before unless it was spilled.

Try not drinking shitty beer.

Ghost Writer, or Zombie Writer? :)

Ok, that is pretty freaking awesome too.

Next will be a Fish Rifle, and Fish Tanks... we can have a whole fish arsenal.

Well, ok, I suppose US military might not have the same problems, but their problems are quite severe when considering the rules of engagement concerning civilians in a war zone. If there was a riot in a war zone, they could simply open fire and say they were all military hostiles (which might be true, but it is still a big problem)

That is not how viruses work. If you are immunized the virus gets killed by your immune system and you do not become a "carrier".

Also, yeah, a lot of vaccines need boosters or reapplied. It isn't a conspiracy, it just needs updated. If you don't get the booster, you run the risk of getting the disease and dying.

So you are saying, what, because some vaccines Are not permanent, why bother getting it?

Or many doctors.

Sure, but having you walk around spewing viruses everywhere is making the rest of us insecure in our bodies. Your rights don't trump mine.

You have got to be kidding. "Nobody gets shell shock or ptsd, there are never mental health problems with our military, because 'Murika!" And then we shove all the soldiers that do need help under the rug because nobody wants to admit that it is a problem.

Obviously the solution is to put a tax on all normal coffee and send the money directly to Keurig.
