I'm talking about the good ol' HBC Although you could easily argue they were more of a hat manufacturer.

I will kindly remind you that the government of Canada was created to protect the interests of a blanket retailer.

I thought they hired temporary foreign works because no locals wanted to work? Oh, it's because youth unemployment is up. Gee, I wonder why? Fucking slime balls.

I was very interested in space and learned a lot. The more I learned the more I realized this is just another case of capitalists destroying the planet for profit.

Yes, some rockets are hydrogen/oxygen. The space shuttle was. The Falcon 9 uses kerosene/oxygen (or RP1, rocket propellant 1 but it's just refined kerosene) the new rocket, starship, uses methane/oxygen. They'll tell you that methane burns really clean but the part they don't tell you is how much "leaks" out. Rocket engines don't just start, they have to 'spin up'. The pumps have to be pumping and all the propellant has to be flowing before it'll ignite. So a certain amount of raw propellant (oxygen and or methane or kerosene) will get 'spent' as in 'thrown out the back'. Perhaps it's not that terrible at launch, but during second stage ignition the rocket is way up there. How much comes out? Don't know, they don't say. You can watch the streams and see it happen for your self. The two stages separate and big puffs of 'mist' happen. Again, the mist is oxygen and or methane or kerosene (there are other gasses, like nitrogen and helium used for maneuvering but we're talking about what comes out the back). Right there is enough for me to think it's a bad idea and will end up fucking us over, and that's just the obvious part. Now make a business model that says you're going to launch these 5 times a day to deliver tons and tons of electronics into space that you plan on burning as a means of disposal. It's almost as if Samsung had a recycling program where they just burned everything out back. Except that it's at high altitude so it's way worse. No planet B my ass.

Interesting! So ~10?

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago

Was it more than 10?

Which gives me huge misgivings about the current space push.

Someone who is most powerless is least interested in aliens?

I don't even want to hear any of that over text at all. I can Google African countries, I don't need my friends to tell me.

It's a leveling foot for a table or cabinet.

Boeing is for sure a shit show and terribly managed, but I don't think they would blatantly kill guys like that. I think it's far more likely that the first guy did kill himself because he figured everybody would think Boeing whacked him and that would do far more damage to the company than his testimony would. Now any news falls under a suspicious gaze and here we are thinking some other guys unfortunate death is due to nefarious deeds.

Or I'm wrong and Boeing has a CIA division ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've made a few posts, most about sync, but none show up in my profile under 'posts'. Even the ones I made in my own instance. What's up?
