My county flipped blue. Democrats didn’t even have someone running for the house seat here, it was uncontested.

They probably wouldn’t have won, but they didn’t even try…

Damn, that’s pretty sweet. Nice job on the setup.

This is why he moved to Texas

Theme?

The original still exists, a remake for modern times doesn’t delete the first one.

I think if it’s done right, FP would be a perfect movie for a remake.

The original is pretty good, and has decent special effects, but it’s certainly a product of its time.

The overt sexism and racism is pretty obnoxious. As long as the remake keeps the story mostly the same, but just cleans it up a bit, ESPECIALLY if they stick with the retro-futuristic style.

I hope they have a good use for it. I’d love to see them utilize the name to try to de-radicalize folks.

The Onion seems to have gotten a new life after they were bought, so maybe they’ll go the Cards Against Humanity route and start to push things in a better direction.

Pritzker has been very outspoken about defying national orders, and even protecting the vulnerable in other states.

I’m not surprised he’s leading the charge.

I thought he was going to be another shit governor in a long line of shitty Illinois governors, but this guy is knocking it out of the park.

The supreme court has no ability to enforce their decisions. The states can and have ignored their orders in the past.

If an order comes back that’s blatant enough, there will be pushback.

The states control the elections, enough of them could literally just refuse to put him on the ballot.

Assuming he’s only actually married to one person, it’s just adultery, which is mostly legal.

Of course, that assumes everyone is there consensually, and is free to leave whenever.

Which is customized for every patient, so it currently costs $500,000 and isn’t FDA approved for wide use, AND it is only available inside the US in a limited number of facilities.

Still, it’s very promising, and if it holds up, it’ll eventually be more widespread. At the end of the article it says they’re working on a more generalized approach that could lower the cost and increase availability.

Am… am I from New York? That’s exactly what I would do in that situation.

Interesting take. I really enjoy when artists can reflect on their work decades later.

Unless some numbers are opposite of a gap, then it could never land with that number facing up.

Each side needs an opposing flat part, and I don’t think that can happen with a die with an odd number of sides.

Oh, he claimed it was still stolen in 2016. He says that he won by so much more, but the Democrats stole enough votes to make it look close.

Toothbrush and time

You’re putting words in my mouth and exaggerating my statements. Just look at how the NASA manned space programs have run since the start, AND how they are currently run. Congress puts a lot of stipulations on how they are manufactured. NASA has a big problem with congressional interference.

Their science/unmanned programs are different, because congress is more hands off. Those are running just fine. The problem is that SpaceX is a huge cost and has a lot of manufacturing and jobs associated with it. That invites congressional interference.

Not only that, but they also have a large commercial presence already with the Starlink. The government doesn’t typically run things like that, so they’ll probably sell of the Starlink portion of the company.

It’s not a conspiracy, it’s not libertarian-ism, it’s just how NASA is run. Once the budgets get into the billions, congress can’t keep their hands off it.

Yes, there are certainly problems with the Commercial Crew program right now, just look at how Starliner is run. We probably won’t get a capsule from Boeing, because they don’t have an incentive to finish, due to the fact that it’s not a cost+ program like the SLS is. SLS is also constrained by politics, they are required to use so many Shuttle parts, just to keep those sub-contractors happy.

It could, but that’s not how these types of programs get run. They’re as much about making jobs in specific areas as they are about solving a problem.
