I like that the Staff doesn’t know where the Egg came from in the first place. They really adopted an Egg without help.

IAmTheZeke ,

Although it is not known how Curtis and Arthur acquired the egg, staff said the most likely scenario was that the egg “was abandoned by another couple”.

Yeah they know

DragonTypeWyvern , in Newsom threatens to take money from counties that don't reduce homelessness

Send them back to Texas! Problem solved forever amirite

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Send them to the conservative states like they sent immigrants via bus and plane to liberal states. Seeing as they say they have low homelessness problems it must mean they have a solution that will help these people, right? Prove those lib states wrong.

Guess what, sending rocket in orbit is one of the most polluting business out there and most of it it’s done for business

FilthyShrooms ,

Is it? As far as I can tell rocket launches don’t cause that much pollution compared to a coal powerplant, or the hundreds of daily airline flights.

Cargo ships are probably up there as some of the worst. They burn copious amounts of really dirty fuel.

@PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. They burn heavy bunker fuel - the sludge that is too bad to be used for anything else.

Considering the amount of shipping, it’s horrendous.

But - and there’s always another view - I don’t know how much energy you’d need to use to haul that much cargo by other means like rail and trucks. One container ship carries as much as a thousand trains could carry. Vessels are really, really large, which make them quite effective.

cows_are_underrated ,

And trains can’t cross Oceans. Even tho that cargo ships need a shit load of fuel it isn’t that much per ton of cargo due to the efficiency and sheer mass they are carrying

Oh you are right coal is worst we can keep blowing up rockets and send them in orbit so that billionares can have their nice trip to space

If a rocket gets to orbit, it most certainly hasn’t blown up ;) Furthermore if it is reusable (which only SpaceX has) then it doesn’t even crash into the ocean.

Let’s be very clear on what rockets generally do. Last year, there were just over 200 launches worldwide (a world record, btw). ~10 of these sent professional astronauts to space stations. The rest deployed satellites that do all sorts of amazing things, including astronomy research, weather and earth observation, and communications. If 1 or 2 are a tourist flight, what’s the big deal?

what’s the big deal?

Here’s the big deal, are you paying attention?

Personally, I think it’s a great thing that the US arguably has the best military surveillance and communication satellites. Certainly I prefer money going there than into literal bullets. In any case, doesn’t this have nothing to do with space tourism?

How Right-Wing Billionaires Infiltrated Higher Education

The key, Pierson explained, was to fund the conservative intelligentsia in such a way that it would not ‘raise questions about academic integrity.’ Instead of trying to earmark a chair or dictate a faculty appointment, both of which he noted were bound to ‘generate fierce controversy,’ he suggested that conservative donors look for like-minded faculty members whose influence could be enlarged by outside funding.”

“They must be given grants, grants, and more grants in exchange for books, books, and more books. [To be clear, books written by the Ivy League professors Olin bought; not books for students]

They know their ideas are bad for us and they’re forcing them through anyway. I’m sure nothing we don’t already imagine, but the linked excerpt from Jane Mayer’s Dark Money brings receipts.

I don’t get it. If you can traverse obstacles you can plan and strategize. Why is this news?

AbouBenAdhem , (edited ) in Trump campaign office near DC burglarized, police say

Police published photos of a man, his face visible, walking around the office and appearing to stuff items into a backpack.

So… why don’t they include these public photos of the burglar in the article?

“Orange skin. Bright-yellow-bleach-blond hair. Mid-80’s. Fat; wearing a cheap suit with padded shoulders straight out of the eighties. Slurred speech. Kept muttering ‘…by the pussy…’ and 'they just let you.”

-A description of the burglar, maybe.
