really? does USA have a dictator running the place for 25 years, regardless of the rules? Who even appoints State governors, maybe mayors even? Court judges who rubberstamp decisions sent down from him? An actual oppressive apparatus designed to jail anyone and torture and murder? A population poor enough that an offer of a couple of thousand dollars a month is enough for them to go die in a pointless war, where theft and rape and murder and torture is not only for the enemy but is a common tool to force the own military to go forward? There us more, I can do this all day.

You don't understand what their lives are, all of them are on the dole, the main value to them is ability to get something from the government for free, be it a public transit pass or government provided housing of some sort or government provided doctor appointment and especially they are worried about their government provided pensions. A government provided pension is more important than anything to them, including their dignity (which does not exist at all there, see any video with them standing on their knees, asking putin to give them as or housing or whatever).

They are descendants of feudal system that have never outgrown it, they are completely convinced that theirs is the best place in the world as well and that Ukraine attacked them somehow together with NATO and that the West wants to steal their land and destroy their values. They love it when putin talks about Sarmat or Burevestnik (Skyfall or more literally Storm Harbinger) nuclear missiles hitting London, Berlin or New York.

Every day on their TV sets they tune into Soloviev, Skabeeva etc. propagandists, who keep telling them that everyone wants to steal from them so they have to attack them first to kill them before the theft happens.

Most ruzzians are poor AF as most of them do not live and work in Moscow, where the wealth of the entire stupid place is concentrated in a few hands and all of the prostitutes who serve these hands.

They are sending their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers (and some women as well) to murder, rape and steal from Ukrainians on daily basis and should they somehow defeat Ukraine, the rest of Europe will be next on the menu.

Do not worry about the 'poor AF ruzzians', worry what will happen if these zombies get their way with you.

I don't care about America and if you are an American you should blame yourself, after all, he is your guy in power.

As to ruzzians, these are zombie cocroaches that allowed their dear leader to be in power for the last 25 years because they are all on the dole and their sense of national pride is above any level of human morality.

Any story about ruzzians and of anything they do anywhere around the world is just another reminder that they are a scourged, they do not belong in the civilized society. They are murderers, thieves, death cult following zombies. I do not trust a single one of them and I suggest you do not trust any one of them either. Do not engage with them, do not listen to them, do not trust them on anything. If a ruzzian's mouth is moving, it is lying (and I say 'it' with prejudice). It is thinking about stealing from you, murdering you, raping you, all while declaring that you are the one doing that to it.

Comment Good. Screen Culture was a plague. (Score 3, Insightful) 31

Screen Culture in particular was spamming YT with fake trailers years before AI really blew up, and labeled them very, very deceptively ("Official Trailer Release", and such). YouTube should have banned them years ago, and the studios should have sued. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

They aren't clones, they are just the optimal shape. The USSR's Buran had similar claims made against it, but it was very different to the Shuttle. No main engines, larger, different mission profile, and much faster turn-around times. It's just that the best shape for a spaceplane is the shape that the Shuttle is, so every other one looks like a "clone" of it.

Yep. Similar to aircraft. There's a reason why planes that perform a specific function at specific performance parameters tend to look alike. Because the parameters demands certain shapes, airflow, capacity, etc, and you end up with planes doing the same mission but designed by different teams yet look alike. See the DC-10/L-1011 airliner situation.

The stable genius jr. has concluded that fusion technology is pointless anyway. Coal and oil are the future! Soon also on Mars.

Oh FFS. Trump is the most pro-nuclear president in four decades, including supporting fusion research and exploring new reactor designs: Trump Bets Big on Nuclear

"United States President Donald Trump is putting his money where his mouth is as he doubles down on efforts to accelerate the expansion of the country’s nuclear energy sector. The government will spend billions in public funding to reinvigorate U.S. nuclear power, following decades of underinvestment. Unlike renewable energy, Trump views nuclear power as key to expanding the U.S. electricity generation capacity and recently announced the target of quadrupling nuclear capacity by 2050.
In May, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the U.S. to develop 10 new large nuclear reactors by the end of the decade. In addition, several tech companies, including Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft, are providing billions in private funding to restart old nuclear plants, upgrade existing ones, and deploy new reactor technology to meet the growing demands from the data centres powering advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DoE) loan office will dedicate significant funds to the nuclear energy industry to support the development of new reactors. This week, the Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated, “We have significant lending authority at the loan programme office By far the biggest use of those dollars will be for nuclear power plants — to get those first plants built.”

This guy either socially engineered his way through a line, analyzed a weakness in the line, or time-traveled from the '90's not realizing we've set up an incompetent but totalizing police-state control grid to interpose every tiny aspect of our lives.

To be fair, "pay on board" is less applicable to airplanes than trains because seatbelts are important in turbulence.

That said, the lack of capacity is widely acknowledged to be a feature of wildly incompetent management.

We just heard they've started a new project to rewrite the air traffic control system for the umpteenth time (and billions and billions later) to hopefully allow for more frequent landings and departures. I fear it won't be specified for AI-assist takeoffs and landings and will be obsolete before it's done.

Better make some more 8" floppies.

Repeating someone's stupid is the dumbest cargo cult imaginable.
Starship is an idiotic system, it doesn't do anything useful for any purpose whatsoever except transferring money from the people's pockets through the government manipulation apparatus into the hands of Musk and his cronies, that's all. The Chinese could really find a better way to waste money, I am sure of it.
