The problem is and has always been “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”
People have been twisting that to mean that anyone that isn’t born to American citizen parents means that you are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
You need minimum B1 language in most European countries for both immigration and businesses to consider you for long term employment and or settlement, so that’s a start.
In 2001 when The US authorized use of force on Al-Qaeda that, along with The 1973 war powers resolution gave the president (as in the position of president, not just Bush) unlimited ability to bomb anyone loosely associated with Al-Qaeda in perpetuity.
It’s what allowed Bush, then Obama, then Trump, and then Biden, and now Trump again, to use the military as they see fit for performing military operations against basically any state and group in the middle east.
The United States is tied with Vietnam for fewest number of minimum National holidays on Earth.
Wasn’t the National Guard the people who shot those kids at Kent State?
I’m no expert, but usually when missiles “go ballistic” their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.
This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.
It’s not just helicopters. Commercial satellite imaging is good enough to detect mold and askew shingles (usually more through running the image over multiple angles and finding reflectance differences)
I worked for a company that does large scale construction updates based on SAR and Maxtor reflectance data, it’s pretty terrifying how accurate it is.
Yea I think “8-12 launches” is the ideal with the launches being at a steady pace (not taking into account weather, launch problems requiring delays etc.)
The article you’re commenting on is about EU grocery store honey being fake
beating SLS in just tests
Technically the booster/starship combo has yet to lift the tonnage that SLS already lifted with Artemis I.
It’s obvious that it’ll be cheaper per ton than SLS but It’s still a little early to say what level of cost savings it has until we know how many tons super heavy and starship can actually lift. (The estimate SpaceX has been giving goes down by 50 tons every year)
There’s that Smarter Every Day video that says something like 8-12 (joke is that with schedule slippage it’s more like 20)
Best part of this is that they just won the contract for launch services even though they still haven’t proven the thing can fly without blowing up yet.
They still haven’t tested it under the Artemis payload weights, either. They’re testing with 17 ton payload and last year at the starship launch celebration Musk said starship is supposed to be capable of 50 ton payloads to LEO. For comparison SLS block 2 can lift will be able to lift 100 tons to LEO.
The Artemis HLS is supposed to be 110 tons to the lunar surface, but supposedly loaded up in like 12 launches.
I assume they’re still a few years away from Starship being usable.
SpaceX is still hitting the milestones on their NASA contracts
SpaceX has missed every single HLS milestone and is the primary reason the Artemis program is delayed:
By definition, this is not a bailout or waste of taxpayer money, as it was fairly competed on the open market, and approved by the congresspeople who were voted in by the public.
SpaceX famously hired William Gerstenmaier and Kathy Luedens right after they awarded them billions for the falcon and crew capsule. They barely skated by the government’s “revolving door” conflict of interest regulations because SpaceX put them on “unrelated” projects.
The contract awarded to SpaceX and Starlink under the Trump FCC was rescinded after Biden’s FCC decided that they weren’t meeting the requirements of the contract.
Now SpaceX is awash in newly minted federal contracts from Trump’s new federal agencies and Musk’s “special employee” status.
SpaceX’s funding has never been “approved by congress” outside of some confirmed cabinet positions, nor has it ever been what one could call completely “fair.”
“The future” is whatever the majority of young people decide it will be, regardless of it’s the past or not.
It’s kind of crazy the variety of opinions people have on Andor and Rogue One
I feel like it’s more likely more and more young people will just retreat from the open internet and only trust content from people they already know don’t post AI clips.
I can understand the opinion that bringing kids into the world is causing them harm because the world sucks. But the number of people who seemed to bring that opinion into the real world on that sub was kind of scary.
Not an insignificant number of people who had stories like “my stupid natalist coworker wanted to take off to attend their kids’ graduation, I told them I wouldn’t help and they shoulda thought about that before they had their little shitstains” were there.
Like having kids already sucks enough, making parents’ lives harder seems to be actively adding to the harm you’re trying to reduce…
Nah you can’t even use cash in a lot of post offices now.
I’m curious if this means that certain cities or states will become citizenship havens because their local courts decided to provide injunctions for their jurisdiction.
