Comment What do you expect? (Score 1, Insightful) 283

They're being groomed by mouth breathing nitwits like Andrew Taint, Joe Rogan, 4/8chan, and Jordan Peterson. Emotions are for p*ssies, it's not r*pe if you paid for her meal, and "why is that woman talking?" is the curriculum they're being fed. They're not falling behind; they're experiencing evolutionary regression.

Comment Starship is a dud (Score 3, Insightful) 71

It will never work the way SpaceX and MuSSk think it will. Its payload capacity is too low. I will never be certified for human flight because the life support requirements are too heavy, and its safety factor is too high for a safe reentry with a craft that large and fragile. It will need fuel to go to the Moon or Mars (which we will never succeed at because colonizing Mars is a nearly impossible joke). To get enough fuel to space for a single expedition would require over 30 Starship sorties just to lift it all. The math just don't math for Starship. And SpaceX can't sustain as a business with the diminishing market needs for space delivery systems. But OK.

Comment Re:Some schools ban them for the wrong reasons (Score 0) 66

We never needed metal detectors in american schools before... because we didn't have the proliferation of handguns and military grade semiautomatic rifles resulting in their increased availability to kids like we do now. Metal detectors have been around for decades before cell phones. Since 1881 to be exact.
