Idk, that sounds better than the actual sequel to Shark boy and Lava girl was.

Definitely not perfect, but besides for a brief hiatus the dev is still pushing out updates and actively listening to the community for feedback. 90% of the issues I’ve had have been resolved at this point.

Take a visit to /r/worldnews, then

China is de facto a State Capitalist country, so…

Eh, I don’t get paid enough to care about peoples cars, I just want them in the corrals so it’s easier to deal with them. I’ll of course stop a cart from hitting a car if it was my fault it was about to happen, but if the wind pushes a loose cart that’s between the car owners and god at that point. I drive a shitbox so I personally could not care less if a cart dings it.

I work retail, I occasionally have to push carts. The corral is good enough. Also frankly, even leaving the cart loose in the parking lot is better imo than the people who leave their carts inside the store right in front of the racks of carts, but don’t actually rack it up(or even face it the right way to be racked up). As soon as even one person does it, everyone does it, and I have to waste fuck loads of time just clearing the entrances of loose carts.

As an occasional cart pusher, I’d absolutely agree when the weather is nice. Being able to chill for a second as I walk to get the straggling cart is nice. If it’s raining or extremely cold/hot out tho, fuck anyone doing that; I wanna get as many carts in as I can as fast as I can.

But when was the last time they landed on the Moon?

1972, which was the last time NASA even bothered attempting to land on the moon at all(well, soft land. They’ve sent up an impactor since then). It’s not like they kept trying and suddenly started failing, they just never planned another landing mission until Artemis 2 and 3.

Tell me though, what did Apollo 17 have that every moon mission since has not had? Oh yeah, people, and not even for the first time ever, no. That was the 6th time in a roughly 3 year timeframe that NASA put people on the moon. Oh yeah, and on all 6 of those occasions, and even the disastrous Apollo 13, all the astronauts made it home safe.

So the last time NASA even tried to land on the moon, they 100% successfully did so, while doing something for the 6th time that no other space agency to this day has done before or since.

Let me know when JAXA puts people on the moon, and then we can talk about them being more capable than NASA.

NASA tells us they’ll have Artemis ready by, what, next year?

Yawn, I’m so tired of this argument. Literally all you guys ever say nowadays when trying to denigrate NASA is “You really think Artemis will launch on time? lol”. I’ve been hearing the same low effort argument since well before Artemis 1 launched. How about expounding on it for once and actually explain why you think Artemis will fail, as you clearly think it will? Not be delayed, fail. Everyone paying attention(clearly you weren’t, or you would have already known and not needed to edit your post) knew for over a year prior to the official delay announcement that A2 and A3 would be delayed, that does not mean anything as far as the success of the actual mission goes.

Sure, congress could slash their budget, as they’re often prone to doing, which could possibly kill the program, but that still says nothing about NASA’s technical capabilities.

Lemmy is VERY left leaning overall, and also still very small. You’re just not going to find enough people here to populate an entire instance based around the terf’s book series. Moreover, why would you even need an entire instance dedicated around one fandom? I’m still confused as fuck that Star trek has multiple dedicated instances.

Additionally, putting the terf aspect aside, the Harry Potter fandom just isn’t what it used to be. Cursed child was garbage, Fantastic Beasts were garbage… and that’s all there’s been in recent memory besides “Wizards used to shit themselves”. The last HP movie was 12 years ago, the last actual book 16-17ish years ago. The fandom is moving on.

That all being said, this IS Lemmy. Absolutely nothing is stopping you from starting a Harry Potter instance.

Hair is three dimensional.

I can’t help you with this in the general sense… but trust me, if they block you, you won. That’s a full retreat on their part.

What a stupid metric to base competency off of. NASA has successfully landed on Mars 6 times in the last 20 years; the most recent of which included a drone, achieving the first ever controlled powered flight on another planet(and it’s still going, over 60+ flights more than the “optimistic” 5 that were planned).

Landing on Mars is exponentially harder than landing on the Moon, and only NASA and CNSA(China) have fully succeeded at it(The USSR’s Mars 3 only gets partial credit imo), and only NASA has done it more than once(9 times total, to be specific)

I mean, a bog standard rejection email at least would be nice. Being entirely ghosted sucks, at least with a rejection I know not to keep thinking about that job.

It’s not just that. Ovens cook with heat originating outside of the food, so the skin cooks(and cracks) before the inside gets hot enough to detonate. Microwaves on the other hand cook by exciting water molecules inside the food, and since the inside of the potato has way more moisture than the skin, it heats up much faster than the skin does.

Not old enough, apparently. They originally were two wheels, and even when they switched to the ball, there was actually still two smaller wheels inside which were turned by the ball.

Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t be picking domains based on stuff like “hehe it says queer as fuck lul”? What did they expect to happen picking Afghanistan of all places for the domain of an LGBT instance?

DVDs were also commonly used as external data storage prior to flash storage becoming the predominant method. Anyone still have their spindle of dvds with a Win XP backup lying around?

Blu-ray doesn’t have that advantage. The only major commercial applications it has been used for is movies and games, and games are already breeching the size that even a 4k blu-ray can hold, and have long since required faster data transfer speeds than blu-ray is capable of(this is why even with physical games, the game has to be installed to the console)

Ehh… as someone that has seen it, it’s still not that big a deal. Sure, in still frames the difference is really noticeable, but when you’re actually immersed in the movie and the action and you’re not just scanning the scene with picture quality in mind, it really makes no difference to me.

This isn’t NASA, it’s a private company completely unrelated in anyway to the Artemis projects success chances. NASA meanwhile, has a great track record for landing stuff on mars, which is much harder

That being said, no one who is actually following the Artemis project believes Artemis 3 will happen next year, we all know 2026 is the earliest it’ll be at this point.

ETA: Annnddd it’s official, Artemis 2 delayed to 2025, Artemis 3 delayed to 2026.

You’re weird
