Probably buy RD-180 tech package or just the engines from the Russians.

The RD-180 is one of the most robust and reliable rocket engines ever made. Slap that baby on the bottom of a couple fuel and oxidizer tanks, and you can reach just about anywhere in the world in 30 minutes or less. The North Koreans stole the plans for it and now they have ICBMs, the Iranians could do something similar.

The average global temperature has been rising steadily with greenhouse gas emissions, for over 50 years, but sure we’ll just ignore that and say it’s impossible to know.

We only have the one planet, sometimes you can’t get multiple data sets. But you can certainly study the things that are happening and make predictions based on that.

Let me address your concerns.

Leaving their hand and going into mine is about as instant as it gets.

Excel and open source equivalents exists.

Buy a safe and keep your damn mouth shut.

Don’t be a criminal, or don’t do 2 crimes at once.

Production cost is irrelevant to how fast the currency goes from person to person.

Any currency will have a lag for economic stimulus. That’s not a currency issue it’s a human emotion and thought issue.

I can go to the next state and pull out a thousand dollars in cash, come back, pay for my stuff, and now it is practically impossible to tell who has what bill, when they got it, what it was used for, or anything else about it after it left the bank. Your mechanic and grocery store don’t catalog the serial number on every bill they get for every transaction.

Cash is instant. It leaves their hand and goes into mine.

That what I’ve told all my girlfriends. They’ve all said I have beautiful eyelashes and they want to know if I do anything to them.

I have literally never touched an eyelash besides wiping one out of my eye.

When I had shoulder length hair, I washed it with head and shoulders every other day and never got split ends.

Now some of that is probably genetics, but also I do think that so many beauty products that women are sold is designed to keep them buying shit to “fix” things that their body will eventually fix on its own. Humans didn’t evolve washing their hair with 3 different soaps every day. Hair just kind of takes care of itself, and the only thing that might need fixing is dandruff.

Or, and hear me out, make a list.

My wife shops like you, and it drives me fucking nuts.

I make a list organized by type of food. Bread and pasta are often close to each other in stores. Canned fruits are all in the same aisle. Produce is all together. What ever we need from each section is organized. I can buy food for both of us for a week in 45 minutes, and that includes waiting in the line.

My wife has the compulsion to look at everything, regardless of the list we made. She also has ADHD and time blindness, and will not acknowledge that we cannot go to 5 different stores and shop her way at each one, and go home and make dinner, and play a game together, and do chores. I love her to death but sometimes it can be exhausting.

How does it feel to be objectively wrong?

I have a golden retriever puppy, a Labrador, and 2 cats.

When I hear loud unexpected noises, I wait until I’m mentally prepared for seeing whatever they fucked up. Sometimes that means it will wait for an hour or more if I didn’t hear any glass. The puppy is getting better at not rough housing inside, but she’s still very young and energetic.

My house could be haunted as shit and I’d still blame the animals. Anyone who immediately thinks “Ghost!” Or “Robber!” Clearly has never owned pets.

You’re not a real water connoisseur unless that good crisp water gives you the fizz.

I’m just wondering who’s using a physics textbook from before the Industrial Revolution.

Was on a plane for the first time a couple years ago for my honeymoon.

Likely going to be for the last time, given every time I get a raise, the price of everything fucking triples.

Dwemer: We will use a science like approach to gather a deep understanding of the underlying magic that powers this world, then we can build a device to ascend to godhood.

Universe: Get the fuck out, nerds.

The elderly keep many disappointing restaurants afloat.

There’s a place by my house that has aggressively mediocre food. Every dish on the menu is merely edible, nothing to rave about. The sphaghetti tasted like Chef Boyardee, the steaks are under seasoned, the fish is overcooked, burgers are decent but always dry, gyro platter and sandwich are served with watery tzatziki that ruins the otherwise pre prepared meat, and the entire breakfast menu is always served just slightly warm. This place has like 150 menu items and does none of them well.

The only reason I go there is because I take my grandfather out for dinner twice a month. I ask him where he wants to go, and half the time he wants to go there. I have taken him to good restaurants but he doesn’t like the selection. He wants to be able to pick from 200 choices in one spot, even if none of these are particularly good.

They’re called broken arrow incidents by the US government.

The Russians have a list as well.

The US has almost detonated a hydrogen bomb over the US state of Georgia. The plane had to ditch its bomb due to an engine issue, and all but one of the lockouts failed.

The Cold War was a nutty time, both sides had enough nuclear armed planes flying to decapitate the other side at a moments notice. Accidents were bound to happen.

There’s also been incidents on both sides where launch detection systems have falsely identified nuclear launches, and only the intervention of a few people prevented a retaliatory launch.

Nukes are stupid.

You know, none of the “AI is dangerous” movies thought of the fact that AI would be violently shoved into all products by humans. Usually it’s like a secret military or corporate thing that gets access to the internet and goes rogue.

In reality, it’s fancy text prediction that has been exclusively shoved into as much of the internet as possible.

Have you trained yourself to shit out little cubes?

And does this adversely affect your plumbing?

Gwindolyn from DS1 was a ladyboy, he also made an appearance in DS3, although has being vored by Aldrich.

And then Miquella from Elden Ring is a ladyboy that loves radahn, a big beefcake looking dude.

I’m pretty sure there was a ladyboy in DS2, although now I’ll be honest that I only played through that once.

People say this, but I still don’t believe it.

And no, that’s not just because I’m an American and love refrigeration. I’ve stayed in Mexico for extended periods and they do the same shit where eggs are left out at the stores.

And every time I’m down there, I play Russian roulette with fucking eggs. Making hotcakes? Crack every egg into a seperate bowl one at a time before adding to the batter, because 1 in 10 are fucking rancid. Making breakfast? Cook eggs one at a time because, again, it’s rancid egg roulette and I’d rather not throw out 2 perfectly good eggs because one is totally fucked.

And yes I know the trick of checking if they float in water, but that means I also have to waste water in a desert. I’d rather just use a separate bowl.

Just because you don’t have to refrigerate something right away doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. My eggs in America last for weeks in the fridge, and I never have to worry about ruining an entire cake or dish because I cracked a bomb of rancid shit into it.
