Every day is a good day to die for democracy!

I haven't seen Zombiland Saga so I don't know what about it you might have disagreed with, but why did one show make you give up anime entirely?

I still watch anime, but I've definitely slowed down since graduating college, just because of less free time. Frieren pulled me back into it pretty hard too though, so I'm also watching more now than I was last year. I don't think I can go back to the amount I was watching when I was in college though lol

Can we do that here? It'd be cool

Something I've noticed with my computer monitor is that it does this shifting thing. The usable resolution is 1440p, but the screen is actually a slightly higher resolution with maybe 10 extra pixels in each direction that it uses to very slowly bounce the display image around in like a very large DVD player screensaver.

The original Reddit thread in the screenshot, not this thread

If they don't want to be accused of ripping off US consumers, maybe they shouldn't be ripping off US consumers.

The people in every one of these Starliner threads seemingly hoping for the worst case scenario to occur just so they can dunk on Boeing for it are disturbing

In a day? These laps don't have to be consecutive for it to be illegal?

Just to be clear on this again, they aren't "stuck" because they're in danger, the stay keeps getting extended so engineers can gather as much information as possible about the leaks before they return. Starliner is still fully capable of reentry, but this is Boeing's last chance to collect data that can be used to fix these issues in the future. The leak problem is in Starliner's service module, which detaches from the capsule before reentry and burns up in the atmosphere, so there won't be anything left to study after the astronauts return.

This article seems to be playing up the idea that the astronauts are in some sort of danger, but NASA has repeatedly stressed that is not the case. These extensions are for research and information gathering, so improvements can be made that properly address the issue in the future.

I've also lost trust in Boeing, but a lot of the reporting surrounding this mission is starting to get annoying. It almost feels like they want a disaster just so they can write about it.

I like this article on the most recent docking extension more. https://www.space.com/starliner-astronaut-mission-landing-delay-july-2024

Yeah, the implication is something is about to happen that the Pentagon is preparing for, and it's keeping their employees working late and away from the gay bar as a result.
