@georgetakei She should have slapped that stupid hat right off his head, and maybe knocked some sense into him. 🙄

You, of your own choice, buy her the drink. You give her the drink. After that she can do whatever the fuck she wants. Because she doesn't owe you anything.

You gave her drink. You didn't buy her.

How the Lincoln Nautilus surprisingly won me over with its ride, huge screen

How I stopped worrying and learned to love the big screen.

@arstechnica Yeah, so how much will you be out of pocket when it breaks? And how are you going to drive when your screen fails to boot, or chokes on a software update?

Two of the German military’s new spy satellites appear to have failed in orbit

Did OHB really not test the satellite antennas on the ground?

@arstechnica Wouldn't be the first time.
Years ago, one of the first launches I worked, we noticed the telemetry we were getting from the satellite kept stopping and starting. And we couldn't command it either; we'd start to send a command, and it would disappear from the screen.
Turned out that the company that designed and built the satellite cut the antennas too short in an attempt to save money.
Multi-million dollar satellite, and we barely managed to save it.
For a few dollars. 🙄

By delaying Trump's Jan 6 trial, the Supreme Court's far-right justices have effectively become Trump campaign surrogates.
