Do you think they's stolen Starship technology?

Yeah, Landing rockets is old hat by now - Indeed, while Spacex is the ones we always think of, New Glenn is a lot better. Hovering, fixing itself to the deck. I have no doubt that the Chinese will succeed in landing their rockets.

New Glenn has one other very important advantage while we are at it. It's ability to hover, and fixing itself to the deck allows for a much expanded launch envelope. Easier to put that barge where you need it. Spacex doesn't seem to care for doing this all that often any more. Severely limiting the launch profile when you have to return to the launch site.

So give the Chinese time, they'll stick the landings soon.

You appear to be making a statement that sounds like "Until every combination of tattoo inks is proven to cause problems, none do." I'm sure you aren't saying that, right?

What this study has said is that the ink migrates within the body to lymph nodes causes inflammation, and oddly enough, causes different reactions to different vaccines. Also an induction of apoptosis in cells, including macrophages. The macrophages see the ink as an infection, and do what macrophages do.

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.10... I reposted the study and experiments. If anyone thinks this is an okay thing, they need to research further,

Maoris's are susceptible to diabetes. I only mention that because I had a friend who developed an allergic reaction to a tattoo (the gold color in it specifically) and soon after came down with insulin dependent diabetes.

That's pure speculation at this point, the standard reason is that they eat the same food we do now.

And a remarkable lack of boundaries in so many cases - which might feed into the poor self image.

In the young groups I am around, Tattoos are considered passe', and not cool.

As one young lady said, "In 40 years, we'll hear "Tattoos? Ewwww, my Grandma has them, they look gross" "

A lot of Pop culture is still stuck in the idea that the more tats, the cooler. But that's how fads and social trends go. When the Tattoo craze ends - there might be a surge in laser removal, at least until the person having them removed ends up with a tattoo ghosting - the removal process removes skin pigments with the tattoo. But the question must be asked, if tats are cool, why would anyone have them removed?

Somewhere in these messages is my recounting of a friend who became allergic to his tattoo, had it removed. And while not certain, a 50 year old healthy and fit male developed diabetes that required insulin to control soon after. That was many years ago, when no one was seeing a potential correlation, much less causation.

In the end, people are welcome to do with their bodies as they will. The rest of us are allowed to have our opinions (and sometimes facts) about that.

You're at 4 funny, but I hope it is true. I don't like tats on anyone, but it is especially sad on women. I will note that I've noticed that women around 21 are sporting less tattoos than many I see in public that are a bit older. At the restaurants My wife and I go to, there seems to be a correlation between tattoos and lack of a wedding ring.

This does not mean that they lack in male attention, but they are considered entertainment only, and the men who use them for entertainment are generally not good for them.

But the new rule is the more tattoos a woman has, the more social credit she has. Tying to use the Angry Desert God's "words" to prove anything one way or the other is one of those games that allows anyone to make any claim. Leviticus reads like an attempt to kill as many people as possibie, IMO. However, I'm surprised a bit by this study. Intentionally putting metallic inks into a person's body having ill effects isn't anything new. Perhaps a study of just one of the ill effects is kinda new.

A friend (male) who had a Bald Eagle in war pose tattooed on his biceps in color became allergic to it, started having fevers, and the head of the bird started erupting in blisters. Whatever it was, it was in the gold ink. So he had it lasered and cut out. He decided the laser hurt enough, he left the rest of the tattoo there, an eagle in war pose, with no head.

Not too much later, he developed insulin dependent diabetes, even though having no risk factors - he was 50 and fit, and ate in a healthy manner. Was it connected? No way to make a definitive answer, but interesting, That the tattoo was causing his original problems is certain. When it went bad on him, it was after several years, so he had a ticking time bomb under his skin.

Which is why I have great concerns about women and the present pop culture demands for them to get tatted up as some sort of flex. Or social peer pressure causes them to decide it is some sort of statement of individuality. Women in general have a more complex biology, and if the ink is affecting her immune system, what might it do to her unborn child?

I know a lot of people, and no man I know professes to liking tattoos on a woman, most consider them as the mark of a person who tends to make bad life decisions, and the more tats, the worse. Women are inherently beautiful, without need for body modifications. Of course, a woman can cover her body with tats, piercings, or brands. It is hers to do with any way she wishes. https://radiosplendid.bo/wp-co... Esperance Lumineska Fuerzina 99 percent of her body is tattooed, she has a split tongue, teeth sharpened and dyed. All well within her rights. The very sad part is her picture from before she went on her "journey", she was quite beautiful. Obvious she wasn't ever given boundaries.

Hey! It's their bodies, their choices

A true "When will Jesus Bring the Bacon" moment.... which kinda shows the truth of the matter. Mod down, me hearties!

Wait, you didn't make a pun about all the exploding Samsung phones? Or did you just bamboozle me, good sir?

Maybe Samsung will make their own version of that abomination - the iSock?

I believe the problem is over-reach, or at least one of them. Any time one or the other groups is in "power", the over reach starts.

If we look at the Republican side When in power, the reach is to become more conservative. This will continue until the populous has had enough. When you start talking about cutting out SS or Medicare, and doing silly stuff to your voter base like that, you end up losing support. In my state, there was an attempt to recall judges for not thinking right, so to speak. It failed. Attempts to remodel the judicial system with a bunch of Karl Roland Freislers was classic overreach. We've seen this in the past with attempts to eliminate teaching Evolution in schools, and replace it with young earth creationism taught as science. Just two examples of conservatism gone bad. Compounded by Republicans going batshit crazy after O'Blama was elected, then insane when he was re-elected.

On the other hand Democrats are not immune from overreach idiocy either. After Trump was elected, many had the same reaction as Republicans had with O'Blama. They did some strange things, like take up anti-science and anti-biology positions, they abandoned core demographics like Unions and the resulting workforce union adjacent demographic, they supported schools superseding family authority, moved to getting marching orders from a small group of far left wing academics, then were surprised when the demographic they had spent years dehumanizing - males in general, and young males in particular didn't vote for them. A worrying thing, since males tend to become more conservative as they age.

I'm certain I pissed everyone off, which is another core overreach of the present system. Whatever you believe, the other side hates you and wants you to fuck off and die. I get most of my vitriol from the left wingers lately, but I can piss off the far right just as easily.

It was their bikini clad shots at the beach bar with 10 men that got them in trouble.
