Not bad, Jupiter. Considering you have 120x the surface area of earth, that's a lot of moons.

I get that this was written to be like, "dish soap OMG!" But there is nothing in here explaining why that might be wrong or dangerous. Why not a sentence like, "instead X lubricant should have been used because Y according to Boeing"? Underground water and sewer pipes that fit together and continuously withstand a larger pressure differential than the aircraft portals in planes use "pipe soap" to help fit the bell and spigot together. If it's wrong, tell us why! I thought the bolts were found to be the reason it failed anyway. Even if "Boeing assembly instructions thought to be insufficient by workers" is the main message, that doesn't grab the clicks though, huh? I'm expecting too much from a business insider article I guess. [Inebriated internet grumbling]

Wait, you're telling me my favorite brand doesn't actually support LGBT stuff? They're only in it for the money? Whaaa?

“We disagree with the Court’s opinion that employers can require employees to be taught — as a condition of employment — that one race is morally superior to another race. The First Amendment protects no such thing, and the State of Florida should have every right to protect Floridians from racially hostile workplaces. We are reviewing all options on appeal going forward.”

I have an extremely low opinion of intelligence of the "anti-woke" warriors but, like, do people really think that's what's happening? They're honestly thinking DEI stuff is teaching that one race is "morally superior" to another? That's just a wild fucking line to throw in there.

How about some consent and payment for my info? Swingy peephole cover thing over the camera. Offer a discount if the machine can take a picture of you. Oh that's right, it's only worth something when you amass a ton of the data. 0.004 cents off isn't that appealing is it?

Maybe don't hold it in China again if they're so worried about this sort of thing? They didn't think that through did they? You think they might with, you know, science fiction often commenting on real life things through speculative analogues. They cowardly caved to just the idea of repercussions. Nothing in the article says the committee was actually under pressure from anyone to do what they did. Weak!

wasn't the big deal with the Russians that it was at the level of the entire organization rather than done by limited specific individuals?

This dude is super creepy and I hate he's in congress, much less the speaker, but does anyone feel like the other headline "monitors each others porn activities" purposely makes it seem like they're each reviewing the porn they each do look at and making sure isn't toooo skeevy? Like it's weird enough, do you have to push it?

Made me picture them high fiving each other the next day, "yeah buddy! I saw that one, too. Nice."

They still can't come up with anything other than "it's not safe!" And "you're so irresponsible"?

Previous articles on this say the water is less contaminated than that which comes out of some of China's plants.

This article: IAEA says 10,000 becquerels per liter is the safe limit. Japan's output will be 63 per liter.

Cool info. If you were going for a copypasta type thing you nailed it.
