Depends on the instance. Looks like you're on .ee like me, and AFAICT, .ee has a lower file size limit than some other instances. Which, tbh, I get it. Shit gets expensive fast.

Yeah, I mean, if taking over a social media platform and directly boosting Nazis on it, throwing a very public Sieg Hiel twice on national TV and directly financially sponsoring the AfD (new Nazi party) as well as the global alt right makes you a Nazi, then you could practically call anyone a Nazi, right?

States rights, but only when it suits us. Just another example of why you should never take a fascist at their word.

RIP

Tbh, that was part of the appeal. You accidentally download the wrong thing and your computer throws an error message that you never get to read because it shuts down too quick and you know you fucked up. I can't explain it, but the danger was part of the fun.

I'm a millennial who's old enough to remember those days. It's an absolutely huge difference, though at least if you're expecting a phone call, you don't have to scuttle your whole day sitting by the landline.

Best of luck with this. Would you guys find it helpful if you had more GH contributors?

I really don't think either of those facts mattered to dad. I think what matters is the reality that police are so rarely held accountable in even those cut and dry cases that there is no perception of justice at all.

I have never once regretted leaving Oklahoma. The chief exports of that state are obesity and alcoholism. This is just them trying to get noticed by senpai, somebody wants a position in the administration.

This is the kind of thing people do when they fully believe that there is no path to justice. If we ever held cops accountable, this wouldn't have happened.

That's what I was thinking as well. As flaky as private companies can be, we could well end up right back at no heavy lifters if Elon wakes up one day and just decides "eh, fuck it"

So I've heard, but I think I heard recently that NASA had made a lot of headway getting to program on track, and it was supposed to have a heavier payload than even starship by a good margin. It's basically a modern Saturn V program. Idk, I'm skeptical that it was dumpstered based on evidence and that this wasn't just a handy premise for setting up more gibs for Elon.

So, tl;Dr

• The Mars sample return has been shitcanned
• The lunar gateway orbiter (or was it a transitor?) has been shitcanned, or at least our funding for it has. There are other internation partners that we're leaving on the hook here.
• Artemis and Orion got dumpstered past Artemis III in favor of "more competitive commercial launch systems". I'll give you one guess who that contract is going to go to, though that's not part of this announcement.
• No mention of the Roman space telescope, but climate monitoring satellites got the boot too
• Human space exploration is prioritized in the new budget, with 6 billion to work towards establishing a lunar base and 1 billion for human mars exploration (lol, lmao even. Here's a hundred dollars to go explore the Pacific, have fun, kiddo)

Always has been.

The US has been exporting a lot of terrible, insane policy around the world predicated on "golly, you wouldn't want to upset your dear uncle Sam and his wallet, would you?" Good to see it go.

I don't think that's true, unless the same car I've had for years is getting aerodynamics updates.

I've got a whole row of borage flowering in my container garden, and haven't seen a single bee in it :/

You are not required to be a member to start a chapter, and from all that I've seen, they're very supportive of you send an email asking for guidance. I would start by going to local city councils or board of supervisor meetings, put flyers up at the library and small coffee shops or anywhere else you can put up flyers, and start holding regular meetings at least once a month

Yeah, do it! Speaking from personal experience, it can be a little scary at first, but it's not even a tenth as bad as you think. It's actually a surprisingly social experience.
