Chewy -> Lion
Leia -> Dorothy
C3PO -> Tin man
That leaves Luke as... the Scarecrow?

Edit: I can't believe I missed Mouse Droid as Toto!

Targeting Friday, May 17 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 @Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Florida

threelonmusketeers OP Mod , (edited )

Norminal launch and landing. B1062 lands for the 21st time!

Edit, Starlink deploy confirmed: https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1791644360918102053

Deployment of 23 @Starlink satellites confirmed

"Could"

Until a working prototype is built, I will be treating the field of warp drives (even sublight warp) with a healthy dose of skepticism. Glad people are working on it though.

threelonmusketeers ,

Aren't the events depicted here alluded to in a later comic as the reason they "have not been to the museum for a while, at the museum's request"?

This thread probably, next thread perhaps less likely?

Interesting statement by the FAA to NSF regarding IFT-3 mishap investigation:

https://x.com/BCCarCounters/status/1791600893151821827

Statement of FAA provided to @NASASpaceflight
about SpaceX led investigation:

"If the FAA agrees no public safety issues were involved in the mishap, the operator may return to flight while the mishap investigation remains open, provided all other license requirements are met."

https://x.com/BCCarCounters/status/1791611426991157438

NSF followed up with the question if this would mean that a positive outcome of this investigation would mean the launch license will be modified before the mishab is closed?

The FAA answered: "Yes, provided all other license requirements are met."

threelonmusketeers ,

If you have a good heat exchanger, don't you get most of that energy back when expanding the gas?

threelonmusketeers ,

Wow, I didn't realize they'd launched almost 20 of them over the years...

threelonmusketeers ,

I’m very confident they don’t want someone who’s not NASA killing their very expensive instrument prematurely. They probably would feel better about a NASA astronaut accidentally killing the telescope

I wonder if Polaris II would ever become a joint mission with NASA? Perhaps with a pair of NASA astronauts and a pair of private ones?

threelonmusketeers ,

Ooh, a Tracer Bullet story!

threelonmusketeers OP ,

I'm using Violentmonkey. Is that similar?

threelonmusketeers OP ,

What’s the challenge with extracting from the url?

One problem with the first approach is that ytp-cued-thumbnail-overlay-image does not seem to exist in all cases, so it seems (to me, at least) like an unreliable method.

For the second approach, I'm not sure how one would go about locating the adVideoId text.

  • Should I be trying to automatically search the page HTML for it?
  • Should I be trying to figure out where it is ahead of time, and navigate to it via the DOM tree?
  • Something else entirely?

Are there paleontology jobs which are primarily indoors? I'm thinking of tasks like removing the matrix from fossils which have already been dug up, but need to be prepared for preservation.

threelonmusketeers ,

Huh, I never thought about this. The plurality norms don't quite match snail mail.

  • "The mail is here" (this sounds normal)
  • "The mails are here" (this sounds unusual)
  • "I got an email" (this sounds normal)
  • "I got a letter" (this sounds normal)
  • "I got a mail" (this sounds unusual)

I guess this comes down to the fact that there is no widely-used word for a single piece of electronic mail. Perhaps "eletter" would be the analogue, but I've never seen it used. As a result, "email" is used for both a single piece, and the category as a whole.

threelonmusketeers OP Mod ,

You've obviously not read past the headline. These restricted profiles would configured by the teen's parent or guardian, not by Tesla.

Over the years, many people have asked Tesla to bring in restricted driver profiles, similar to Tesla’s currently existing Valet Mode. Valet Mode already serves to restrict the car’s maximum speed, reduces acceleration, and disables the use of Autopilot and FSD. The new restricted profiles will let you apply certain restrictions to driver profiles without the full-fledged restrictions of Valet Mode which also limits HomeLink, GPS history and more.

About 1$ and 34¢ at the current exchange rate (GBP to USD).

Would you prefer to have not survived? Not trying to be snarky; honest question, as I feel conflicted.

Would you prefer it if someone else had lived a healthier life in your place?

threelonmusketeers ,

Most interesting. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

The last (only orbital) test flight

After the first orbital test flight, they did do a second test flight which did reach the ISS.

threelonmusketeers ,

Definitely a good sublemmy, along with !goodnewseveryone, !goodnews, and !optimistsunite.

I think OP is looking for instances though, not just sublemmies.

threelonmusketeers ,

Binkly originally wore glasses?

threelonmusketeers ,

So would that put a full brain scan somewhere in the zettabyte range?

threelonmusketeers OP Mod ,

Norminal launch, booster landing, and Starlink deployment.

threelonmusketeers ,

Very well put.

threelonmusketeers ,

I don't have the patience for that shit

You are fortunate to be in a position where you have a diversity of employment options. Remember this.

What an unfortunate introduction to Star Wars...

threelonmusketeers ,

Cool! Are you aware that others have already done this, and more?

Harmy's despecialized edition and project 4k77 are some of the best-known ones...

threelonmusketeers Mod ,

kPa and Bar are obviously superior units!

Jabba is a religious figure?

  • Aspirational Mars goals from the CEO: "Less than 5 years for uncrewed, less than 10 to land people, maybe a city in 20 years, but for sure in 30, civilization secured." I'll eat my hat Beck-style if this timeline holds, but I'm glad he's still ambitious.
  • IFT-4 launch license for early June should be feasible for the FAA.
