Long overdue.

Just another symptom of our broken "IP" system of malignant copyright - patent abuse finally hitting some kind of limit.

Looks like SW is going down with Boeing and the 737s from corporate arteriosclerosis.

I can remember when checkin - pay the ticket, throw my checked bag to the counter and running from the curb outside and onto to the plane could be done within 10 minutes of door closed and plane rolling. (~1983-4), and those $15 flights.
Guess the hots pants and free booze wont be back either. My mom actually saved up the little bottles, from post flight give/throw aways from kind flight attendants that would last her another 30 years (still in the wet bar when she moved to a nursing home, before we hired an at home RN elsewhere).

Please archive and post the diagrams, instructions, program notes etc for future moon inhabitants...

I buy cheap chinese stuff because it's expendable with careless, semiskilled labor for the house.

I would not buy disposable cars that incinerate at 10 - 100 x the rate of Ford's old Pintos. Which is what I suspect will happen with accumulated EV mechanical and weather cycles, in battery cycles, vibration, and cumulative minor traffic damage.

One news source suggested that Cyber Truck flammbes were 17x that of the Ford Pinto. If so, I would expect even more from the chinese EVs, short of early abandonments after 1-5 years. Fortunately for Oz, there is a lot of terrrain to store/abandon these things as we await the fireworks...
Go, MGuy - my favorite Ozzie engineer and attorney to watch for EV yt videos.

"...10.6 ounces (300 grams), equivalent to the weight of an apple."
most commercial apples in the US are 3 - 4 - 5 ounces

In Asia shit fertilized prize apples do better, even pounds, but 10.6 sounds heavy for a reference

With Blue Origin tours I keep thinking about the Titan submersible tours for rich people.,,

my low wattage laptop or handheld for viewing pre-Code Hollywood or films on free servers on a cool/breezy hilltop without AC like our house

Phuck some ignoramouses bugging us all the time with their particular political message, on our leisure time.
Maybe this is controlled opposition for MAGA, just pissing people off with intrusive climate messaging.

Reminds me of one Rice University prof in the early 1970s claiming there was a problem with a lack of new [strategic metal] mercury reserves being discovered, when there were already 100+ year reserves, not to mention the radical decline in usage/desirability since then.
I was an admirer of Gerard K ONeill, L5 Soc etc the 1970s, and suspect Musk might be putting us back on track for 1-2 cent/KWh wholesale power with less than 20% terrestrial heat and 0 carbon...

What's missing in the conventional treatment of prostate cancer are known phenomena that alter the transformation of lower grade cancer cells and even severe metastatic prostate cancer lines. This includes specific extracts, vitamin isomers, minerals and dosages that seriously affect (e.g. kill or slow) many malignant cell lines with less (or no) side effects.

That is, that some cell lines will be slowed or stopped in their tracks with seemingly mild treatments or severe cases, synergistically treated with chemo too. Here tracking with both more thorough imaging and extra labs and markers becomes important. Best case, stopped with less drastic side effects. Next best case, slowed dramatically with less drastic side effects. Unfortunately, you need the extra support ($$$) to work extra labs and angles beyond low budget insurance or DIY if you have the real technical capability to make sure to drive things to improvement. Many things are actually cheap, but not "standard".

My cancer search always starts with Life Extension Foundation articles on cancer treatments (combined modalities - conventional and pharma+natural chemistries beyond), extra basic lab tests that might add $100-250 per test cycle (1-3 months), and papers on high dose, specific nutrient molecules with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and/or immune promoting properties that change/results/improvements can be measured or tracked with the extra lab work.

Sometimes cheaper/better/more convenient medicines not available in the US are available overseas.

Presumably previously harvested data and code sensitive to the CCP have had time to be drastically reduced if not scrubbed 100% clean.

No doubt some CCP cadre get a chance to position themselves for a payout now, too.

Yes, we can't wait to see the new SLS + Starliner MAX.

IMO, the federal rule should only apply to manned aircraft unless historical analysis of legislative intent shows otherwise.

I'm more worried that the drone, like so many EV's simply burns/fails, and then falls over my house or property, endangering **us**, is already bad enough.

This threat of federal "aircraft sabotage" seems like both a federal over reach AND a new means for unscrupulous businesses to blame/squeeze someone else for "damages" from an unreliable machine in some marginal business. This seems like a glaring moral hazard in the devolved US today, and more so tomorrow, whether manufacturer of EV, seller (EV or package) or package sender.

Just tax it. Sudden, total bans are dangerous and damaging.
Colorado may have some funny sounding but serious problems starting in 2026...

FedEx in bed with the police?
FedEx going full Stasi on US ?
Sounds like they might develop whole new profit centers on/from the proles.

Sounds like more than an abusive Ex in the Feds...

to me, it depends on which/whose flute she was blowing on...

In asia small LPG tanks are often inside the house (kitchen) or 50/100 kg smack up against the building.
Fifty+ years ago, residential towers with opening windows would have LPG tanks in each apt/condo...
About 12 years ago a restaurant down a major street from where I was staying had an LPG explosion overnight from a leak (or left on during cleaning) - made a big mess visible from the street.
