This the same SpaceX that caused multiple airliners to divert after their rocket exploded and rained debris onto active flight corridors?

That last panel really got me.
Surprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.
I don’t know if Mr Rodger’s was shot on film or video, but either way, the flame was glowing in a wavelength the camera couldn’t pick up. Either it was a color that the chemicals in the film don’t react too or it’s not something the electronic sensors were sensitive too. Probably a high frequency violet bordering on ultraviolet. TV cameras are optimized to record the frequencies of light the human eye can see, making allowances for cost & technological capabilities. They may not work the way you’d expect as red fades to infrared or violet goes towards ultraviolet, especially when using 70’s or 80’s TV cameras in the price range of PBS.
Everyone assumes Canada is super liberal country just because of universal healthcare. They forget that Alberta is basically snowy Texas, and the other prairie provinces have more in common with the Midwest than New York.
This takes me back. This is, what, an iPhone 4s, at the latest, with the shorter screen?
It’s fine, it’s not like he’s going to be disappointed if she makes him sleep on the couch.
Point taken.
Strange New Worlds season 1. A lot of Trek series have a rough first season. SNW seems to have avoided this curse and hit the ground running.
It’s not like Russia is going to issue press releases on its troop deployments.
Probably lutefisk, fish cured in lye.
I’m afraid I may fail that version of the Voight-Kampff Test.
This is not The Way.
Wow, a DEC AlphaStation computer. That couldn’t have been cheap.
Only Mac OS 10 and later, based on BSD, uses ‘/‘. (And, I guess, A/UX.) Classic MacOS used a ‘:’, but it wasn’t regularly exposed in the UI. The only way most users would know is that the colon couldn’t be used in a file name.
Indigenous names are heavily used. Half the states have Native American derived names, a much larger proportion than I thought. Pre-European population density was much lower, though so there were a lot fewer settlements to name.
It’s useful for people with unisex names like Taylor, Chris, or Jordan, especially in email, where you may not have any face-to-face contact.
Sucks for anyone named Jamie or Alex. Trump is acting like he won in a landslide, even though he wasn’t even able to scrape together a majority of votes; more people voted against him than for him.
No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There’s always a boom tomorrow.
The FAA had to activate a contingency plan, a Debris Response Area, after the explosion. Instead of one rocket, you have an expanding cloud of debris that takes varying time to descend. Some planes had to enter a holding pattern to stay out of the area, while others delayed takeoff.
