He doesn't have a name. He's a stray at the diner where I work, though we really shouldn't be keeping animals around, even outside. Must be tough living outside when it's sub-10 f. Took him months to let me near him, but he loves having his ears scratched. He shies away from your hand when you go to pet him until the end, when he actually jumps up into your hand.

Aww any chance of you adopting him?

Completely different case as you have total control over which vaccines you take. Whereas most women don't have control over the laws that dictate their birth giving. Sure you can have activists that harass people outside and inside of clinics but that isn't the majority of people. I grew up with a lot of conservative people that were pro-life and Even my own mother was pro-life. She just didn't like babies dying but still saw the value in abortion. She even aborted one or two before I came into the world so she could prioritize her career.

How exactly are you defining "pro life"?

Said she was attracted to him, enjoyed it, and thus briefly entertained it enough to get offered a number and an invitation out of the bar which she says she didn't follow up on. She didn't initiate, but initiating isn't expected sequencing even for interested single women at bars. Also commentary about not wearing a ring.

No one's a bad person for this specifically. But CE's so wildly reactionary towards the slightest hint of pseudo-cheating under any circumstance and would destroy a dude for this.

I don't remember the phone number bit (seems like something I *would* remember) but no way to be certain now I guess...

I *think* I agree with your "expected sequencing" description though "she went to a bar and flirted with guys" still carries a different image from "she went to a bar and a guy flirted with her", especially as reactionary CE can be (agree there).

It was a big topic a few years back. It stuck out in my memory because there was a big split in who thought that was appropriate, given that as you noticed, most posts are about grievances she has with her husband.

The topic I remember was her getting attention from one guy at a bar but not taking the phone number or initiating the flirting/interaction... CE was split over how she should feel (good versus guilty)

I don't know, that's why I was asking how Aristoph concluded there wasn't anything to punish them for.

Obviously I don't know these parents or any details.. but I can definitely see things a parents does falling into "they should be punished too for their intentional negligence/active support" like other parents encouraging violence of not securing guns etc. I'm asking how Aristoph knows *these* parents haven't done anything that would fall in that category.

Good.

Dafuq? Does nobody remember being a kid and how often you lied and hid shit from your parents? My parents were great, but they had no idea of half the shit I got into with my friends. Now I'm not a psycho, so the shit I hid from them didn't include beating people to death. But come on, these are teenagers. There's no chance the parents had any idea what they were up to if the kids didn't want them to.

Part of being a parent is trusting that when your kids are out of your sight, they're still being good kids. It's not always true, of course. But you do at some point have to trust your kid on his own. Micromanaging and hovering over them 24/7 is just as unhealthy and damaging to a kid's growth as ignoring them entirely. The situation sucks, the teens deserve to rot in prison, but locking up their parents too doesn't do anything to help anybody.

I... I didn't lie and hide stuff from parents - at least to say I did often, though that's just my experience. What do you know about these specific parents to say them facing punishment won't "help anybody"?

NASA should continue developing and supporting its in-home and contracted solutions. SLS can and should continue. The money is already spent and it will have unique capabilities if ever fully realized. Artemis might be possible without SLS but we really should use it for the crew rating and abort methods.

NASA should also be extremely proud if the Dream Chaser launch goes perfectly next month.

If there's a rush or a new space race, it's because geopolitics and the dawn of literal space warfare began this past month. Twice now. That is not an excuse to cut corners or endanger employees. SpaceX has a cowboy bang-that-together attitude and it has unacceptable costs It has to stop. Mistakes and shitty safety culture on the ground will kill. And then those same mistakes can be deadly or costly as Russia, Blue Origin, SpaceX, etc have shown.

So the bolded is why you are making these statements about urgency? Which incidents are you referring to? (I genuinely could have missed them) The Israeli missile defense incident doesn't seem to apply..



I can post contracts and the like but 1 billion per launch is insane. The cost comes from these contracts being legacy and poorly structured. Falcon Heavy isn't even 100 million per launch and it's mostly reusable.

Reference:
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-105609
https://oig.nasa.gov/docs/IG-23-015.pdf

None of these show "massive corruption" or that the project "only made it this far because of Shelby"?



For example, SpaceX exhaustively tested their Crew Dragon using helicopter drops. Boeing decided to do paperwork instead to barely meet the requirements and then still had their parachutes and other components perform poorly during their Starliner tests.

If I'm following you correctly, SpaceX used a different method to test their capsules than Boeing.. and did more paperwork? I'm not sure how this is a criticism of NASA?

Frankly Im not sure what you see in modern NASA for them to be a alternative.

A) "Utter stagnation" is also a broad generalization, how exactly are you qunatifying this?
B) Please cite where NASA disregarded safety precautions that led to injuries on the scale SpaceX has
C) Are you complaining about NASA as a whole? Or NASA's methods to launch things? Because your first paragraph is the former and your second is the latter...
D) Interesting that you didn't post anything till Starks longer post... do you have anything to add beyond "What he said"?

It's extremely corrupt. SLS only made it this far because of Sen. Shelby leading the committee in mandating it when Alabama, his state, would benefit most. And because SLS is still a thing, it's billions of dollars too expensive per launch and is years behind schedule. It's endless paperwork. Boeing chose to do similar paperwork for their capsule and it still failed countless tests. Meanwhile, SpaceX tests their way through approvals.

You didn't answer my question - what's the problem w/ continuing to allow NASA (and potentially SLS) to progress? Why the rush to get into space faster that justifies condoning SpaceEx fatalities?

Also your "it's extremely corrupt"/"only made it this far" are really broad statements (like saying NASA only creates jobs to create jobs) - do you have a source? Wiki shows some criticism of the selection process - but nothing concrete?

Finally what do you mean "SpaceX tests their way through approvals"? Successful launches? That wasn't your criticism of SLS - it was cost per launch.
