So the article says they've done ten successful launches.

What does that actually mean? It's real short on details.

They've successfully put ten payloads in orbit? Or what?

Ahh, man made horrors well within my comprehension

Ugh

Ugh. Jesus christ.

And yet, people living in vehicles are 'homeless' and looked down upon. They've left no room for anything else to be realistic

Unibody cars, as in, the ones with the pinch welds under discussion, don't have a frame

The sheet metal is the frame.

Which, in my opinion, is why nobody gives a shit-any car built like that was built to be disposable fucking garbage.

What's really crazy is how fucking Good all those microphones are.

I've been using alfredcam to utilize old phones and tablets, and holy shit they can hear so well.

Like the k88, an ancient tablet that was useless when it came out, foisted upon at&t users. The mic on it will pick up conversations clear as a bell OUTSIDE my house

Shit's fucked, yo

The cleanliness of the panels isn't actually as big a deal as it's made out to be. Like yeah, they can't be completely obscured, but you'd be surprised at how fucking filthy they can be and still make juice. Or half-or more- covered with trees, or other shade.

Right now, my panels are covered in enough crap I really should hose them off, and they're still kicking 20 amps. So ahhh... fuck it. Maybe it'll rain and I won't have to.

Same with cloudy days-sometimes I get more power on cloudy days because the panels don't get at hot. Hell, some streetlights put out enough light to harvest energy from-but they're largely getting replaced with LED's. Sad face?

I expect with the type of traffic going on between rails, these will need vanishingly little maintenance. I hope it goes well

Gatorade isn't actually a good source of electrolytes though.

It's sugar and pinch of salt.

However! There's totally good electrolyte powders that are packed with the goods, and they're not much pricier.

Also, sour patch kids have a weird ingredient in the coating that most electrolyte stuff doesn't have. Potassiumsomething something, irrc?

If you're super dehydrated while drinking a fuckload of water, stick some of them under your tongue

Nobody is coming to the US to be homeless. That's not a thing.

We're shitty enough to our own citizens to make plenty of our own folk homeless.

You are closer to living on the street than you realize.
