If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Not good

@DJSnM
SpaceX has lost as much as 80% of the Starlink satellites launched on Thursday due to a solar storm, combined with the intentionally low deployment orbits used for debris managements.

Methinks they've encountered a few more bugs than they expected.  It is the first time they have attempted this procedure, after all.

They started to do the lift less than 5 minutes after I decided they were probably going to wait until tomorrow and I went to bed  :facepalm:

B4 + SN20 = 4-20

Now did Elon do that on purpose or not?
