Comment Re:If you're under 40 there's no reason to change (Score 3, Interesting) 145

I happen to know a lot of factory workers and am well aware of how broken their bodies are. While some places push for ergonomics, many just see it as a hassle. Then you have some jobs such as plumbing or HVAC which just break you down over time because they were never designed in a way to be maintained.

Comment I love how we have money for these (Score 2) 39

I love how police departments always have money for these extremely expensive tools but when money for programs such as SNAP or other programs that benefit poor people, we are immediately met with criticism and are asked, "WHAR'S THE MONEY COMING FROM????"
You could feed tens of thousands for $250,0000.

Comment Before Memes were a thing (Score 1) 134

This was something that was supposed to start under the Biden Administration but for some reason or another the Trump Administration is continuing down the path. I agree, cancelling any sort of subscription takes way too much work and cancelling a subscription should be easier than signing up for a subscription.

Comment One Billion Dollars!!! (Score 1) 183

If you aren't saying that in a Dr. Evil voice, you are seriously missing out.

The orbiters on the STS program cost 10 billion to make in 1981 dollars. That would be about $50 billion today. Now, I know that Elon is doing what he can do to drive that cost down, but there is only so much you can do. We are comparing a reusable rocket vehicle that made it to LEO vs one that is going to Mars.

Granted, Elon gets billions from government contracts. I don't think this extra billion is going to do much if he can't deliver HLS
