  1. Looking at the picture of the kid before he went up it really looks like the harness didn’t come down far enough. It was probably locked but that seems like a design problem that was considered safe for the ride to go. I can’t see how that could safely restrain anyone at that configuration. I’m not sure what the rule is on posting the image, I can post it but I’m going to refrain from doing that unless I get confirmation from someone else that it’s kosher with the rules and mods.
  2. well I worked today too but I’m not gonna be bitter about folks enjoying their time off!
  3. This whole billionaires playing at space is boring. If Bezos wants to pay $2 billion to play around in space then let him do it I guess. I'd care more if they were to actually accomplish things that haven't already been done for decades.
  4. Turns out I’m eligible to get a third shot because I mixed shots (pfizer and moderna). I guess I’ll get another shot in a few weeks when I’m not so busy.
  5. We’ll be ok. We might not make the 1.5 degree limit but I think we’ll manage to peak emissions this decade.
  6. Qaddafi’s Son Is Alive. And He Wants to Take Libya Back. - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM In his first meeting with a foreign journalist in a decade, Seif al-Islam described his years in captivity — and hinted at a bid for Libya’s presidency.
  7. I guess there are advantages to living somewhere where nothing ever happens.
  8. Before Quebec had their independence referendum, the Canadian government removed certain military assets out of the province. I don't remember the specifics exactly, but I know that fighter jets were all flown out of the province prior to the vote. Of course, in the example of Canada, we don't have much of a military and don't really have anything comparable to nukes to deal with.
  9. Didn't Pompeo impose sanctions on China due to China's treatment of the Uyghurs? I think both sides of the aisle are pretty united in their "China bad" messaging.
