#spaceflight #museum #education thought.
I love it when space museums have exhibits that let you walk through spacecraft. E.g. the backup Skylab to the National Air and Space Museum or the Space Shuttle replica Explorer which I saw at Kennedy Space Center.
I want more of these.

As long as we can keep manufacturing both lithium iron phosphate batteries and photovoltaics at or below *current prices*, we have essentially set a ceiling on the price of electricity *forever*.
There is no such ceiling on the price of petroleum.

It becomes even more clear that when the current admin. is planning how to sell their policy, they don't ever have anyone play devil's advocate and point out flaws and inconsistencies in their arguments. Even the more "experienced" politicians in the cabinet are failing this basic test.

I'm not sure how to grade most foreign policy, since it's mostly about signing and enforcing treaties. Maybe maximizing the weighted average Human Freedom Index?

Maybe an anti-war candidate could be measured on how much money is spent on foreign military action or on the number of service members killed.

Then every quarter, they'll get a report card on just those objective measures. Yes they can add spin (these are a result of something Congress did, not the President; or there was a pandemic that disrupted the global economy) but there is only so much spin you can put on a number

I kind of wish that every president gets to choose (before the election) a set of objective metrics that they plan on maximizing or minimizing. E.g. Home ownership percentage or median real income or employment -population ratio or percentage with basic health insurance or food inflation rate.

Ignoring the fact that a war is probably going to do more harm than good.
Ignoring the fact that it seems immoral.
Ignoring the fact that it seems poorly thought out.
Let's just emphasize that it is clearly illegal and unconstitutional.

the democratic response to the SOTU should start with “is Donald Trump a pedophile?” and from there be entirely about the files

We'll never make any progress while there are 60 baby boomers in the US Senate.
Can we just declare that the entire generation was exposed to too much lead in their childhood and shouldn't be allowed to hold positions of power?

I think this skit should be deemed historically important. It captures something significant.

Being autistic isn't hard. All you have to do is remember the 3 things that make NTs most mad:
- Misunderstandings
- Any effort on your part to prevent a misunderstanding
- Any attempt after the fact to clear up a misunderstanding
So long as you avoid those, functioning in NT society is easy!

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

Anyone surprised? Feeding info to Putin? Today we read he’s invited Putin to serve on his peace team for Gaza?
Translation Putin has the P tapes, Putin has the Epstein files!

One small thing I hope comes out of this nightmare is at least renaming the Department of Homeland Security. “Homeland” is not a word Americans use. It sounds like a translation from Heimatsicherheitsabteilung.

No—it's even worse than this. And I'll tell you why.
Trump knows that if he invades Greenland, no future Democratic president would do anything but give it back. He can't allow that. Which means invading Greenland is also him deciding that there'll *be* no future Democratic presidents.
Get it now?

Can Congress just weigh in once and for all: do US citizens need to carry proof of citizenship with them at all times? Pass a law saying it is legal to walk down the street with no ID, or pass a law saying ID is required. Let's get some damn clarity here.

I feel so dirty when I edit #html using #regularExpressions.
I know it's wrong and it will probably fail at some point, but I need a quick and dirty fix. I even know what the right answer is, but it would take a few extra minutes.

Buying a company by taking out a massive loan, then making the company you bought responsible for paying off that loan, is so patently evil that it should be beyond illegal. The kind of thing that inspires enlightened societies without corporal punishment to bring back the death penalty as a one-off
