I’ve worked for several aerospace companies including Boeing. I have nothing but contempt and hatred for Boeing and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Management is garbage, safety comes second to schedule, people are treated like disposable cogs, but I would trust Boeing over NASA. I work with a lot of NASA and ex-NASA people right now on a couple major projects. Dear god NASA upper management makes me want to put my head through a wall! The insufferable sense of superiority trying to tell us “how things are done”. Bro, how is SLS coming? That’s what I thought, shut your mouth and stop pretending like you are the Apple of space systems. Luckily, most of the ground level people at NASA are more down to earth (pardon the puns) and easier to work with.

Just code in assembly

Why would God allow this to happen?

If she did one squat with the bar it would instantly double the size of her ass.

Also, I pay for 4k streaming but because of compression or something else they are definitely not sending me 4k content. I was watching a movie on Netflix that I had forgot I pirated. Both were 4K but the quality of the pirated one was far superior.

God needs to take notes. If you truly care for something you provide free shelter, free food, free healthcare, and unlimited love.

Edit: also, politicians with trillions of dollars at their disposal could take notes. Imagine if I told my dog she can’t eat today because I needed to mount yet another 50 cal machine gun to the roof.

I use Firefox because I want you use a web browser whose main focus is browsing the web.

Worse than what? Paying Atlantic for a subscription?

"They can tell us about deep space in ways we can't learn otherwise," says particle physicist Jamie Boyd of CERN. "These very high-energy neutrinos in the LHC are important for understanding really exciting observations in particle astrophysics."

Can anyone who knows more about this subject elaborate? What are they expecting to learn, or do we not have an idea yet? Like what different things could we learn from this that we aren’t learning from other possible colliders or deep space telescopes like James Webb?

Edit: why am I being downvoted for asking questions in a science sub? As a non-physicist who is trying to learn more that seems unwelcoming

If Twitter has nothing to hide, then they should have no objection to this bill.

I can’t believe a lawmaker said this with a straight face. This was the same logic to pass the Patriot Act .

Where is all the money going healthcare? I went to urgent care and was given ibuprofen for a herniated disc. I waited hours and the doctor spent 2 minutes with me before running back out. Was charged like $600. Who got that money if not the doctors and nurses? Even with overhead they were churning people.

Bonus question: where is all the money going in education? I’m passing $1200 for a physics class off 300 and the PhD student running it makes $28k/yr
