I don't want to be accused of being racist so I need to know this before I go around saying it.

White pride is usually expressed at the expense of others or arbitrarily defining who is white.

Buying a new one and an adapter didn't do anything for me yet. I don't miss how noisy and springy the controller is. If I really need my muscle memory and pressure-sensitive shielding that badly, it should be more readily apparent.

The Pro controller feels great in the hand. And that's impressive for a Nintendo console. The company went from a PS-style on the Classic Pro, to an abomination for the Wii U Pro, to an Xbox-style in the course of 3 gens.

It's time to let go.

Space Force is 2030s, if ever. We need vehicles now and the private sector is lapping NASA, ESA, JAXA, Roscosmos, etc.

Countries keep talking about next-gen vehicles that are still only on paper when stuff like BFR is already being tooled and built.

SpaceX is ready to step up and they may be our only hope for the next year or two as other companies catch up.

https://www.space.com/42097-soyuz-rocket-launch-failure-expedition-57-crew.html

A Russian Soyuz rocket carrying a new U.S.-Russian crew to the International Space Station failed during its ascent Thursday (Oct. 11), sending its crew capsule falling back toward Earth in a ballistic re-entry, NASA officials said.
A search-and-rescue team has reached the landing site, both crewmembers are in good condition and have left the Soyuz capsule as of 6:10 a.m. EDT, NASA spokesperson Brandi Dean said during live television commentary.

The Soyuz rocket and its Soyuz MS-10 space capsule lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at about 4:47 a.m. EDT (0847 GMT) with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin aboard. The pair were due to join the three-person Expedition 57 crew already aboard the International Space Station. But something went wrong minutes after liftoff, sending the Soyuz capsule into a ballistic re-entry, NASA officials said.

"Confirming again that the today's Soyuz MS10 launch did go into a ballistic re-entry mode a little bit after its launch around 3:47 a.m Central Time (4:47 a.m. EDT/0847 GMT)," Dean said during live television commentary. "That means the crew will not be going to the International Space Station today. Instead they'll be taking a sharp landing, coming back to Earth." NASA is providing live commentary on NASA TV, which you can watch here.

The three astronauts currently on board the space station have been informed of the failed launch and their schedule for the day is being reshuffled, since they'll no longer be able to greet the incoming duo. Mission control told current station commander Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency that during landing, "the boys" experienced forces of about 6.7 G in a call that NASA later broadcast on the live commentary.

The pair landed about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan. "Search and rescue crews are always pre-staged in the event something like this does happen," Dean added. Helicopters have already dispatched to look for the Soyuz space capsule, she said.


The implications here are awful but all signs point to the ISS becoming empty for the first time in 17 years at some point in the near future. The crew on the ISS may not even have a viable lifeboat as the current docked Soyuz was damaged/sabotaged on earth with a drill hole that caused the recent pressure leak. Even if they want to use it, they can't wait past the rapidly closing 200-day lifespan of the capsule.

There won't be another Soyuz launch for months while this is investigated. Those astronauts are stranded unless Russia wants to rush an uncrewed launch or the US wants to do something incredible and reconfigure the uncrewed SpaceX DM-1 mission in January or the crewed DM-2 mission in June as a lifeboat mission.

This incident will kill Soyuz and a good chunk of the Russian space program. The US isn't buying seats past 2019 and this may well be the final purchase. Between the recent Proton cargo and Soyuz cargo failures as well as the Soyuz module sabotage, Russia really has nothing going for them other than ancient designs and new hardware that is struggling to get past planning.

You know how you can brick a phone? That happened to my car's headunit today.

Apparently Hondas have a 1 in 10 chance of not rebooting properly if you force a reboot. If it doesn't come back up, you can't do anything but turn off the whole car and wait 30 minutes before turning it on again.

Car is still drivable if this happens and thank god I didn't have to. Honda had enough sense to make the digital dashboard, or at least the speedometer and gauge half of it, a separate system.

Honda CR-V EX

Hackable headunit

Sunroof
Lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control included: The Rogue only offers adaptive cruise control on the SL trim. Lane-keeping and stop-and-go, which is more powerful than what Honda offers, requires 2 packages on top of that.
