1970s technology does not work so great in the absence of 1970s technicians and engineers.

It's not just NASA. SpaceX has also had problems with their heat shields. My guess is that manufacturing and installation and the exact angle and speed of attack on reentry have extremely small margins for error.

"Medical" websites, such as Cleveland Clinic, for example, have valid information, but it is invariably extremely superficial, and generally not very helpful, with the most common advice being "see a doctor." If you want better info, ask google for specific citations to original peer reviewed literature.

New report says Coke tastes better than Pepsi.

Everything not forbidden is compulsory.

And, how much is this now going to cost me?

I wonder how Hannah Natanson is able to get 1000 sources for classified material?

Maybe instead of miles, airilines should give away ozempic shots.

The wikipedia examples all sound like run of the mill marketing copy. Which also should be expunged. However, when I've tried to do that, it is immediately reversed by Wikipedia editors.

The oil industry is in the hands of a relatively small number of players. This is news? That Saudi Arabia controls a lot of oil?

The "creatives" demand that we exclusively buy THEIR slop, not AI slop.

This just seems to be another way of saying that cities tend to grow until they run out of basic resources, and a common one of those is water.

One of the main rationales for limiting the use of SATs for college admissions has been that "disadvantaged" (new word for black/latino) students can't afford SAT tutoring, so the SAT is racist. Now everyone can get it for free. Well as long as google lets it be free.

My incredibly crappy 60's era street bike weights 40 lbs. (2.85 stones). My decent quality 70s era racing street bike weighs about 25 lbs. (6400 drams). Your sileage may vary.

Motor vehicle laws for ages have had exceptions based on maximum speed and type of motor. These days, those were adequate, because few people had those vehicles. Now they are all over the place, with 10-year-olds around here zipping around at 30mph (80639 furlongs per fortnight) with no clue about traffic rules or even which side of the road to drive on or just driving on the sidewalk. There are in increasing number of injuries, and some of these kids are gonna die. You can argue Darwin, but still it's messy when they get flattened and it damages your front end.
