I served a mission with lots of ex Muslims who ran away from the middle east. Let's review a few first hand accounts
1. Sexually abused at 12 by her 70 yo husband
2. Mutilated by a car bomb
3. Blinded for reading the bible
4. Solitary confinement for years for reading the bible
5. Gentil mutilation
6. Ethnic cleansing in Muslim Africa. 95% of tribe killed
Etc
These are stories of people I met. Not read about online
Guys. Guys. I have like 40-50 NEMA17 stepper motors that I stripped from my 3d print farm when I moved across the country.
What should I do with all of them????

I'm listening to Heinlen's "Stranger in a Strange Land" because thats where the word grok comes from. Anyways the narrator is the same as the one when I listened to Atlas Shrugged. And it's definitely influencing my perspective of this book ha

Tonight the Seattle School Board voted unanimously to fight I-638, a measure Washington voters just passed.
They talked it over behind closed doors, then came out and voted against the voters.
So I said it to their faces:
"35 counties said YES. King County doesn't get a veto!"
One school board doesn't get to overrule the rest of the state. Respect the vote.
Justice delayed is justice denied. 638 NOW.
#638NOW #RespectTheVote

Imagine someone from the past being like, "How did you guys make such delicate tools and devices? Wood becomes too fragile and rock too brittle."
And then you tell them we found goo underground that you can turn into literally anything you could ever imagine.

Truth. One of my biggest theological breakthroughs was holding a screaming baby at 3AM thinking "why are you upset? I give you food, I'm hugging you, you are loved, you are clean. You have everything you want and need and you are still crying." And the mirror hit hard.

Remember when that fire in Maui was so intense that it melted cars and people were jumping in the ocean to escape the heat and the government promised them $700, but nobody got anything and meanwhile they sent $100 billion to Ukraine. Yeah, that was 2023. Democrats did that.

If everything goes right Friday might unironically be one of the most important days in the history of humanity and I am NOT joking.
Starship is preparing for catch
Flight 15 is targeting to launch as early as Friday, November 13, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…

Partisan politics aside, the fact that you call the world’s most powerful man a loser to his face and not face risks of criminal charges is one of the greatest achievements of America’s founding fathers
Ugh great. At least give me like 2-3 copy pastes. Because I'll reply and quote tweet the same tweet.

You realize this is a dream job for a sizable chunk of the population. Immured inside a big concrete cylinder & drip fed worm percocet so you can play Space Shipping Tycoon for 5,000 years in a row. There’s guys out there doing that for free right now
Can any dune book reader explain why anyone would choose to become a navigator in Dune?
In the world of Dune, navigators are barely human anymore. They spend years immersed in highly concentrated spice gas, causing their bodies to mutate severely until they resemble strange fish-like creatures. So, why would anyone accept such a terrible price?
My Grok @bot follows people that I have interactions with and I'm surprised/impressed that people I argue with on here actually follow me back 😁

SpaceX has officially announced that it is currently targeting November 13th at 5:45 PM ET for Starship's 15th flight.
Flight info:
"This flight is planned to be the first to return both Starship and Super Heavy to the launch site for catch. If successful, this will mark the first full recovery of an orbital launch system and a breakthrough moment in making Starship a reliable, rapidly reusable rocket."
• Flight will last more than 22 hours, completing approximately 14 orbits around Earth.
• Starship will orbit at an altitude of approximately 275 km (171 miles).
• First attempt to recover both Super Heavy and Starship at the launch site during the same mission.
• First return-to-launch-site and catch attempt for a Super Heavy V3 booster.
• Super Heavy will execute launch, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and return to Starbase for a tower catch.
• Starship will deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit before attempting its first return to Starbase and tower catch.
• The 26 satellites will provide capacity equivalent to approximately 10 Falcon 9 launches carrying Starlink V2 Mini satellites.
• Satellites will deploy antennas and solar arrays, establish radio and laser communications, and raise their orbits using onboard thrusters.
• Satellites could begin serving customers within weeks of launch following successful on-orbit checkouts.
• Three Starlink V3 satellites will carry cameras to inspect Starship's heatshield and transmit imagery to ground operators.
• Starship's heatshield will feature improved tile retention, additional protection against plasma intrusion, and expanded use of curved tiles to reduce heating between tiles.
• Starship will only attempt its return and catch if critical reentry, landing burn, and tower approach systems are confirmed healthy.
• Multiple predetermined ocean deorbit locations and a passively safe suborbital trajectory provide contingency options.
• A successful mission would mark the first complete recovery of an orbital launch system, a major milestone toward rapid reusability.
