Did you go to Hogwarts?

Kitty!

Implying that the officer probably would’ve gotten out and arrested him otherwise.

It's not really important that the national debt get to zero. It's not even ideal. If, as a president, that's what you're focused on, then you're focused on the wrong things. Debt is a very, very useful tool for growth.

Like, consider the Louisiana Purchase, the purchase of most of the Midwest US and Louisiana from the French. This was funded by debt. Was this a good investment? Abso-fuckin-lutely.

Anyone good with money is going to focus more on the quality of the investment overall, not just whether it is funded by debt or not. The debt just becomes part of the calculation.

A note: debt is a bit more dangerous for government when you're on a hard currency standard, compared to today, when US debt is denominated in US-gov't-issued dollars. But even on a gold standard, that doesn't mean you should always strive for zero debt, any more than a large corporation should.

It’s a UK bus.

Orion and it’s service module have less delta v capability. It just doesn’t carry enough fuel to enter and exit low lunar orbit

I agree that the TSA is low skilled and not the best solution, but they're not taking away rights like crazy people suggest. They're strictly trying to keep people from taking over planes and turning them into human filled missiles. It's a huge inconvenience, but better than doing nothing.

Lmfao you think spelling errors are an indication a photo is fake? Like, people don’t make spelling errors that make signs or decals?

Very Space Vehicle Niceeee

Yeah, that's a basic paradox of security - has been for all time. If you let them, the security people will just continue to ramp up forever. It's totally reasonable to demand a clawback every now and again. ADS-B and real-time weather have nothing to do with letting the TSA strip-search people who are just trying to go on vacation. I shouldn't have to give up the contents of my phone just so I can attend grandma's funeral.

It's hilarious, and rude, to me that you've painted this picture in your mind of me as a "Christan conservative" who "stopped learning" with no idea as to the truth. You think I'm some right-wing moron who can't adapt to the future, but the truth is that I'm a Canadian liberal with a PPL who gives flight lessons to noobs in VR. I watched 9/11 happen, and I remember what flying was like before. Not everyone who wants their rights back is a Trumpy. Try not to make assumptions about people online, dude. You brought identity politics to a discussion about security theatre and that's just rude. You were a real prick to me back there with your "it pays to never stop learning" schtick.

The white I assume is cloud cover. Looks to me like there is more green/brown in the top half, and more blue in the bottom, so maybe Asia on top and the Indian and Pacific oceans below?

I am sure NASA didn't orient it randomly.

Considering he was the only president in the history of the USA to get the national debt to zero, I'd say he was pretty good with money.

Wait until they file the insurance claim

I looked at a home in coastal Maine in 2003 to buy. The front door used a skeleton key like this as the main lock.

Being pedantic, it could be the South Pole since it's more visibility white ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

You're making some assumptions about demographics there. Government debt could become a real catastrophe under a shrinking population, which is an imminent problem across the first world.

Does he roll on shobbos?

You would be very, very wrong. Not sure what his race has to do with it though.

Oy Veh!

The angle of the text looks off, too.

It looks to me like the North Pole is pointing up, so this is the "natural" orientation for the photo.

Apparently you can eat him and your rabbi says it's okay.
