And yours is a monarchy, with the closest thing to a constitution only being a charter that only guarantees any rights at all to barons and nobles, whose descendants to this day still hold their titles and rights from ages past. The only thing it promises, but does not guarantee to you, is a jury trial. You guys sentenced Markus Meecham to jail and a fine en banc, putting a felony conviction over his head making him unemployable, over a youtube comedy that didn't involve any kind of violence or threats. The only way he makes a living at all is because he's paid by an American company to entertain his viewers.

And for voting...well...you don't even get to vote for your German head of state, who is not just for life, but by birthright to each successive generation he begets. Your prime minister legally only acts in an advisory role, who your king has the power to veto.

Anyway, how is ol' Boris doing?

I know a lot more about this subject than you do, Pootin.

Who's anus did you felch this turdbit from?

Unlike you, I'm a strong believer in giving credit where credit is due, regardless of what else I think about whoever it goes to.

Without Elon there's no SpaceX. Full stop. He bet everything on it twice. And unlike you, it hasn't received *any* federal government subsidies either. The ESA, NASA, Rocketlab, Blue Origin, and many others were essentially betting against the idea of reusability, the ESA in particular making fun of the idea in a press statement, and Elon in particular who was the only one in the industry pushing hard for it, not only to the engineers, but investors. The rest is history.

Shit in one hand, wish in the other, and see which one fills up with what you consider to be edible faster.

I'm sure that where you're from, that's exactly what would happen. I'd bet on it, even.

Effectively the argument is that by doing a split, you're going to reduce the market cap, which is total nonsense. In fact, usually the exact opposite happens after a split.

There's no rhyme or reason to this argument whatsoever. You guys are just fucking dumb.

The number of shares outstanding has zero relevance to that. What you're arguing falls entirely on trade volume. How are you supposed to increase trade volume if, as retardedsilvergun says, you're trying to keep the total number of shares outstanding to a minimum? That does exactly the opposite.

He's just one of many. Forcibly removing privacy from the internet, one service at a time.

Fuck collectivism.

That isn't even remotely how market capitalization works. Indeed, this statement alone is a QED that you have no idea whatever how to make investment decisions.

I've been working in this industry for over 3 years and we always refer to it as a "flight", as in "fly". Launch and liftoff just refer to specific phases of what is usually suborbital or orbital flight.

One of them keeps ending up in the Senate even though he's a moron. Regardless, I've long advocated for removing party affiliations from ballots. Just a name and an office is all that a voter needs.

What difference does it make? SS is a scheme designed to rip off people like me. I'm more than likely not going to live far enough into the age it allows you to start receiving benefits from, meanwhile I've been maxing it out for years.

Why can't we just have a mandatory individual retirement contribution system like other countries already do instead a stupid fucking Ponzi scheme, which by design, causes some people to lose? Oh wait, I forgot, it's not a Ponzi scheme if the government does it.

In California, taxes to fund road maintenance are the "for downloading Linux ISOs" argument for adding new forms of taxation, like the mileage tax that keeps getting proposed. Everybody here knows that will never get any funding no matter how many new taxes we add, but it makes a viable argument anyways because bad roads is something we all experience daily.

Ideologues who think they help open source by placing demands on developers are hilarious.

"You guys need to perform work I'm not paying you for on MY terms!"

If I wanted money for my open source contributions, I would have asked for it. If the idea of somebody else making a billion dollars off of your work and paying you zero doesn't sit well with you, then simply say so in your license. Be sure to tell the pseudonymous contributors what their share of that is while you're at it, assuming you allow contributions at all.

Iran and Pakistan did, and both came away pretty disappointed. Even right now, Iran is relying on Chinese radar systems that keep getting knocked out before they even see anything at all. The only thing they've been able to do with any measure of success is firing kamikazi drones at things on the ground in neutral countries based on intelligence provided by Putler.

Not with hypersonic weapons. In fact, the most success Russia has had at evading patriot interceptors has always been with slower missiles.

Not only that, but it needs to be said that you're INCREDIBLY fucking stupid.
