I'm just wondering how they simultaneously got pictures of a full moon and a full earth on the way to the moon.
The cool photo of the Earth was a long exposure of the night side illuminated by the Moon's reflected light. It's why you can see stars and Venus in the photo as well.
How come DOGE didn't manage to kill this one?
DOGE's mission was not getting rid of "waste, fraud, and abuse". Their mission was the removal and/or neutering of any government body that could have stopped or slowed down the orange grifter's activities. Musk benefited as well, so bully for him.
Taking a chainsaw to other agencies that actually helped people that are less fortunate was just icing on the cake. Taking that funding away meant more to go towards the One Big Beautiful Bill for Billionaires. Cruelty is not just a side effect for these assholes; it's the whole point.
Artemis, like the Shuttle before it, has parts of the program spread across the country, making it a nice jobs program for many US states. Effing with that would have gotten most Congress critters upset.
is something that just isn't taught properly, if at all, in schools. We see the lack of it everywhere.
So it's understandable that many are offloading this to something else because they just don't know how to do it themselves.
Laziness is also a factor, yes. But inability, I feel, is the biggest factor here.
People able to critically think are far harder to control than those who can't. The powers that be can't have that, so it's no wonder that the "dumbing down" of Americans has been in place for several years now.
The minimum wage going up does cause inflation, e.g. in restaurant prices. It made me less likely to get restaurant food.
Nowadays there's been so much inflation that I don't get restaurant food at all.
Not raising the minimum wage hasn't stopped inflation either, and also makes it more difficult for people to afford said inflation.
Oh, is that why elected Democrats are against voter ID even though the overwhelming majority of voters, including Democrats, support it?
Because any time that the GOP implements it, it is done to make it far more difficult for certain voters to be able to obtain such ID. The ID itself is claimed to be free, but the documentation required to obtain it are not free, making it effectively a poll tax.
Do you want Voter ID? Then implement it the way that Colorado has. Have you noticed how no one complains about Colorado voter ID? They make it easy to have a valid ID. https://www.sos.state.co.us/pu...
You cant rely on illegal immigration to prop up falling birth rates. That's absurd. If we're concerned with why we have a population decline, we should be looking at falling birth rates, not importing bodies.
With the cost of raising a child going up and up and UP? Good luck doing that while Gen Z (aka those of child-bearing age) gets squeezed ever tighter by corporate rent-seeking. Birth rates are falling because young people can't fucking afford to raise them!
Ironic that a person using a name like "BothPartiesAreEvil" very clearly aligns with the more evil of the two parties.
It's a ploy to handwave away the reprehensible shit that the GOP does by somehow equating it to less than ideal things that Democrats do.
Democrats are meh at best, but they're clearly not the current dumpster fire we have with the GOP.
Also, hospitals seem to be a common link in a LOT of deaths.
I know of a common link to ALL deaths. Birth! We should do something about that...
And replace ivermectin with what?
There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of "Wonder drug", penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide; "especially on hundreds of millions of the world's poorest people.

Oh, you didn't know that millions upon millions of people take ivermectin safely and effectively and have for decades?
Ivermectin is indeed a "wonder drug", and is very effective as an anti-parasitic. What it is not is an effective treatment for COVID19. In vitro testing showed that while ivermectin had a positive effect on the virus, the dosage needed to be effective would have been highly toxic to humans.
TDS: the affliction where sufferers practically worship the current POTUS no matter what he says or does. Victims have the inability to understand why someone else could possibly dislike the current POTUS, assuming that they must be deranged.
issuing grossly wrong recommendations, such as the improbability of community transmission.
WHO did NOT say that community transmission was improbable. What they said was that there wasn't enough evidence at the time to definitively say that it was airbourne (AKA they didn't have proof). Which was quickly revised when the evidence became available.
This idea that plans must be set in stone immediately and never change due to new information is completely insane.
I am sure the Clintons do:
Those Clintons calling for the complete release of said files? https://abcnews.go.com/US/bill...
That would be as close as one gets to vaccinating stupid...
Imagine... a vaccine for stupid. But how could you get Americans to take it?
Call it the new formulation of ivermectin.
More people died from COVID in the U.S. *after* the vaccines were available than before vaccines were available, why aren't those deaths Biden's fault?
The Florida Orange Man was POTUS for about a year during the pandemic; Biden had 3+ years. The FOM spent that year denying and then politicizing the pandemic; by the time Biden took over in 2021 the damage was done. Hard to handle something when a large fraction of the population has been gaslit to believe it was something safe to ignore.
Only one political party spent months casting doubt on COVID vaccines before the election, then suddenly announced their entire response to COVID was for everyone to get vaccinated
Once said vaccines got their Emergency Use Authorizations, yes. The only vaccines that had been deployed en masse before November 2020 were from China and Russia. You trust those governments, don't you?
The pass democrats enjoy for their part in Covid is fascinating...
As if that excuses the part that the MAGA GOP had in it. Remind me which party was doing the most to open the floodgates before mass vaccinations could take place?
Trump himself was a Democrat until about 5 minutes before he decides to run for the Republican nomination. His whole family were Democrats and donors too. His cabinet has Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr, both Democrats until Trump.
None of them were/are Democrats. Neither are they Republican; they are all opportunists. They just discovered that conservatives (especially the religious ones) are easier to gaslight.
Trump has really turned the Republican party quite blue, both in terms of staff and economic policy.
Dear Leader and his GOP's policy has exactly zero to do with anything Democrats advocate.
Interchangeable parts won't.
