Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Fucking loser. For those lucky enough to be stranded and then located. Hang on, your snack is on its way. It's a nightmare scenario. You're on an ambitious mountain hike when you get lost, injured or stranded. The good news is help is finally on the way, but the bad news is it's going to take time to reach you and you're out of food. That's when a buzzing drone comes flying in for a landing. Not only do you get the snacks, medicine or water it's carrying, you can eat the wings to tide you over until the rescue team arrives. This scenario could become real. A team with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL) has developed a prototype edible drone. The munchable machine is part of a broader project called RoboFood. RoboFood is about investigating edible robots for humans and animals as well as foods that behave like robots. Instead of worrying about the soaring costs of fuel and food Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is worried about the effects of Ticket Master crashing. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Ticketmaster of monopolizing the ticket sales industry on Tuesday after the company's site crashed as Taylor Swift fans attempted to buy pre-sale tickets to the singer's upcoming "Eras" tour. Ocasio-Cortez took the opportunity to voice longstanding concern about the 2010 merger of Ticketmaster, the ticket sales and distribution company, and Live Nation, the events promoter and venue operator, into Live Nation Entertainment. "Daily reminder that Ticketmaster is a monopoly, it's merger with LiveNation should never have been approved, and they need to be reigned in. Break them up," the Democratic congresswoman from New York tweeted. I guess AOC didn't get the word about the private jets being used. Interesting story. Above my pay grade. I wonder what our former naval Morons think. Navy captain censured over fatal Marine AAV accident recommended to command aircraft carrier Eight Marines and one sailor were killed in the deadliest training accident involving an amphibious assault vehicle in Marine Corps history. President Joe Biden’s widespread student loan forgiveness plan was blocked for the second time in less than a week, this time by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis. The federal appeals court ruling comes after six conservative states—Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Carolina—filed a lawsuit arguing that Biden’s loan cancellation plan hurts state revenues. The three-judge panel of the appeals court issued a nationwide injunction on the plan, meaning the Biden administration cannot forgive any debt under the program. “The injunction will remain in effect until further order of this court or the Supreme Court of the United States,” the panel of appeals court judges wrote in the ruling. Perhaps the adults in the room didn't want MushHead to party with them. He took an unexplained pass on Tuesday’s final festivities at the G-20 summit, but President Biden still had a very busy day diplomatically as the Group of 20 summit of the world’s leading developed and developing nations wound down in Bali, Indonesia. Mr. Biden unexpectedly skipped the gala leaders’ dinner, returning to his hotel room for the evening. It is unclear why Mr. Biden decided on the last-minute change to his schedule, which came at the end of a full day of meetings. A sex war is “Gas prices? They’ll go down. But sure, tell me more about how you want the government to tell me what to do with my body.” So writes one liberal feminist on Twitter, following it up with: “Republicans suck. I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to hear your side. I don’t care. Y’all are bad people.” If 21st-century politics is shaping up as class war, the American midterm elections have concretised a troubling facet of this political landscape: this class war is also a sex war. Writing about the dynamic as a feminist is uncomfortable in the extreme because it’s difficult to do so without being accused of misogyny. This is not least because among the very online Right, there really is more than a tinge of misogyny to the term most commonly used to denote progressive-leaning Virtual women: AWFLs. Twitter employees are once again in an uproar after CEO Elon Musk made a ridiculous discovery involving the program’s costs. Twitter’s San Francisco HQ’s free lunch program was axed by the technology mogul after he discovered they were costing the company close to $13 million a year, the New York Post reported. Good!

About command of an Aircraft Carrier.
Lots of requirements. - Naval Aviator in good standing. - Successful command of an aviation squadron, usually fighter/attack. - Successful deep draft (the Amphib command where the training deaths occurred). - Successful completion of Nuclear Power School, including prototypes). He would be a senior officer compared with the sub/CVN engineering community participants, and the instructors go a little easy on them. Not much, but a tad. -- Not a lot of people in the Navy with this list of quals. Posted by: NaCly Dog (u82oZ) at November 15, 2022 10:17 PM (u82oZ) 43

From what I saw with the Amphib exercise deaths, the main culprit is an overaged amphibious vessel swamping suddenly. THe training tho get out safely (enhanced by emergency oxygen supplies) was the Marine Coprs commander embarked.
Still, the CO is inescapably responsible, and had "bad luck." Did he learn? Get better later in the command?

Correct me if I am wrong... but Pres and VPcannot be from the same state. Posted by: Sassy You're technically incorrect, but functionally correct. The Electors may not vote for both a President and a VP from their own state. So if you have enough electors from the other 49 to get both your guys in, you're okay. In the case most people are talking about--two Floridian Republicans--that won't happen, since you can't let that many (R) Electors sit out the VP race. Or you'll wind up with Trump and AoC in the White House. Posted by: mikeski at November 15, 2022 11:10 PM (P1f+c) 273

You CAN NOT borrow any of my velvet smoking jackets for your "special party".
Posted by: Miklos sez no on the cravats too at November 15, 2022 11:40 PM (NOVDU) For years I thought a smoking jacket was just some gay looking bathrobe looking thing that men wore as they smoked as if it was part of some silly decorum ritual. Then I though because they seemed to be red a lot maybe it was like a warning,"fire hazard here". I never understood it. It was only later in life when I started smoking anything that burned and eventually noticed the little tiny holes in my shirts did it occur to me its to actually protect your clothes from sparks and ashes.

Late to the party and was browsing the Trump Announcement thread where you asked what would Kari Lake be doing for the next six years.
Trump should make her his VP. ---------------- That was my implication. ================= But I'm with Dave in Fla now -- there is NO PATH to 270 for any Republican until the Election Integrity issue is addressed & eliminated ... which means, since the GOPee (establishment eunuchs) won't do so, there will likely never be another R POTUS. ------------------- I mean yeah but I think you and I have been here since 2020. Combine a fraudulent voting system - mail-in ballots for regular people should be illegal in any sane civilized rational country - and "our" party who would see us dead before succeeding in the goals they've been promising us for 40 years... and yeah, the party's fucking over.

Damn. I was just reading about two assholes who should be in the running for Genius Awards. Prisoners at the William Head minimum-security prison near Victoria, B.C., they walked away from the jail, entered the home of a postal worker, and used his computer and landline phone to search their own names and to order a water taxi in one of the perp's own name. Then, when the postal worker came home, they murdered him and stole his truck, leaving a trail of evidence a mile wide. Turns out one of the prosecutors at their trial is a relative of mine.

Whether DeSantis actually has a secret or not it's moot. That is the risk you take with someone "new". No secret, true, new or made up is going to suddenly derail Trump. But anyone who is new to the scene, which DeSantis is, can and likely will be ruined by simple innuendo. It's amazing that people don't seem to have any inkling of what the spotlight would look like on DeSantis or anyone else. It's like some kind of amnesia or denial. Being governor of Florida, even as some kind of rock star conservative magnet, is like a tiny shard of a peanut shell compared to the Planters factory in a five alarm fire with nukes pointed at it from seven different countries while Mr. Peanut anally rapes everything in sight with his dildo power cane in a 10.0 earthquake and fireworks made of flaming clown boners until something collapses from the sheer weight of chaos. The global headlines alone will cut anyone remotely normal to absolute ribbons. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Trump makes it look easy.

My grandfather (born in Bad Axe, MI, 1885) prospected for tungsten in Cuba. People were more mobile, and adventuresome than many of us realize.
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at November 16, 2022 12:22 AM (2eKfM) I was in an old mine near Nelson, B.C., the "Granite-Poorman" mine, worked for gold, which also had veins of Scheelite, a tungsten mineral. Scheelite fluoresces bright blue-white under a short-wave UV lamp. Was pretty spectacular underground, with all the helmet lamps off.

The police aren't protecting us from them. They are protecting them from us. Top Democrats understand this reality. They also know that since they pay the police and are in charge of promotions, the police will always majority come down on their side.

#405, actually that was Barzan al-Tikriti, a Saddam relative and at one point head of his intelligence service (and a bit of a clown and loon). Hangman did his job right (well trained by the Brits), but was unaware that Barzan suffered from a degenerative disease that inter alia weakened his skeleton. Thus, oopsie, when they dropped him. So a hangman has to know quite a bit to it "right".

Was on vacation in FL back in the day, near Tampa.
Went to a SLS launch scheduled for 1am - it got halted about a minute or so before launch, some redundant pressure sensor or some such. Got scrubbed until the next day. Went back to Tampa, got up, buddies had to take a semi with a refrigeration unit to a Publix in Ft Myers, then we went BACK to Cape Canaveral to watch the launch, again scheduled for 1am. This time it went off. We were at the entrance to the NWR. I could feel the heat of the rockets, and feel the vibrations in my sternum when it took off. Way fucking awesome.

He can blowtorch the whole fucking place and the most he'll have to worry about is just what vacation home he'll die a happy man in. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at November 16, 2022 12:51 AM ------------- Um, have you guys ever heard of the term "lame duck presidency"? Nobody has to do a damn thing Trump says because they don't have to worry about him being reelected. Also, because this election was such a disaster, nothing is going to get through the Senate because the GOP won't have anything close to 60 votes.

Posted by: BetaCuck4Lyfe at November 16, 2022 01:30 AM (MFZ8i) No. Vote fraud is a many-headed Hydra. Ballot harvesting, voting machine algorithms, multiple voter registrations, trunks of ballots miraculously being found to turn around an election, polls worker tabulating votes behind closed doors, states ignoring their own election laws vis-a-vis mail in ballots, plus I'm sure there are more ways the Dems cheat. Unless people literally hang for vote fraud, we are boned as a Nation.

Trump will never be "allowed" to win. Even if every registered voter in the nation cast a ballot for him, the Dems would magically produce the same number plus one.
And besides, Trump's plan to counter the fraud is to demand same day voting and election night counting.

I'm looking forward to Starship OFT, hopefully soon. They just did a 14 engine static fire on the booster. Space Daddy says a few more static fires and then Full Send.

Artemis Missions: one needs to use Little People (hey you can pack more in). One astronaut needs to be a Little Person of Color, trans-Female, dickless, titted, from Africa or one of those Pacific Islands with cannibals, with a degree in Basket-Weaving in a Weightless Vacuum -- or will have that degree on return to Earth as THE FINAL EXAM can be part of the mission. Imagine being the first person to graduate on the Moon!

Woman of color landing on the moon, women, women, women. Look, I've got nothing against women. I married one. But holy hell.... Posted by: Colonel Travis at November 16, 2022 02:10 AM (RG7Wy) For decades NASA has been doing "outreach" with space food and cool videos of launches and astronauts doing spins inside the space station, targeted at grade school and middle school kids. Objective is to get kids, especially women and minorities, interested in STEM degree tracks in colleges. Because who doesn't want to become an astronaut and eat freeze-dried ice cream while spinning in zero-gee? Yet I've never seen any statistics or heard anecdotal evidence that this has had any effect on STEM college enrollment or graduations. But this crap will never end.

FUN FACT Many years ago, I met the physical trainer for the Hungarian Cosmonauts (it was commie time). He explained that Hungary had developed Space Booze (palinka in jellied form, so it wouldn't float around in weightless conditions). Gave me a tube. It was actual 44% alcohol Hungarian palinka in a tube. Said the Russkies wanted the recipe, but NO.

Lithobraking.
Fancy term for mountain road emergency truck braking ramp in the steeper downhill grades. And if de-obriting at 24,000 mph doesn't qualify for an emergency braking ramp, then what does? *envisions fifty mile long decel lane with 3ft. deep gravel deceleration medium as "pavement" along it's length* Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at November 16, 2022 02:41 AM (e6UQI) Posted by: Sir Perigee Raise-Burn at November 16, 2022 02:42 AM (NOVDU) 629
Perigee burn good. Full thrust, manuever completed. Now, orbit is good, TLI will come next. That will be a long burn, 8 minutes. Perigee burn was just 30 s or less. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (Mzdiz) at November 16, 2022 02:43 AM (Mzdiz) 630

TLI in about 8 min. If I'm looking at the profile trajectory right, this thing is not going to complete 1 full orbit before TLI. Get on the back side of the earth, relative to the Moon, and do TLI. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (Mzdiz) at November 16, 2022 03:06 AM (Mzdiz) 637
