I almost hit you up to ask what parts of town i should cruise through. Then i remembered. Do a google search for exotic swords.
Seeing Falcon heavy takeoff and land two boosters simultaneously was pretty damn cool. Florida wasn't all bad.
Anyone following the story with Elon and the disabled Iceland guy? Short version is that he was a Twitter employee and Twitter removed all access to his work computer. He tweets Elon to ask if he is fired. Elon proceeds to make fun of him publicly on Twitter. Iceland guy asks to discuss this privately and even asks if he is allowed to discuss this publicly. Elon mocks him more and gives him permission. Turns out the guy has muscular dystrophy and can barely move, but he did make a company years ago that he sold to Twitter for a job. He wanted the job for many heartwarming reasons but didn't need it, he structured the Twitter sale to golden parachute $100 million if he is fired. Elon is now being reasonable, apologizing and probably shitting himself.
Is ABM still glad Musk ton board? Along with Candace Owens, Tulsi Gabbard and DeSantis making it a crime to hold rallies in state capitol?
Starlink bandwidth has dropped yet again...now only getting between 25-30 mbps. Thanx for nothing Musk.
I think Twitter sucks. The people I engage every day are great, but this platform sucks. The Follower Limit Reached is completely unnecessary.
Twitter threatens to lock some accounts as soon as Monday https://fox4kc.com/business/twitter-threatens-to-lock-some-accounts-as-soon-as-monday/ KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Twitter is threatening the possibility of locking the accounts of millions of users as soon as Monday. If you’ve noticed a warning pop up on your account recently, you may not want to ignore it any longer. What is changing? Twitter began warning users that two-factor authentication using the popular the text message/SMS method would end March 20. Two-factor authentication is the process that requires a user to take two steps to verify the account belongs to the person using it. The first step asks for a user name and password. The most popular second step is a code texted to the phone associated with the account. It’s popular because it’s easy to copy and paste the code from the text message into Twitter. Beginning last month Twitter no longer allowed new accounts to enroll in the text message/SMS method of two-factor authentication. Why is it changing? Users who pay the $8 monthly fee for Twitter Blue will still be able to use text messaging for two-factor authentication.For everyone else, the reason why Twitter is making changes all comes down to money. Elon Musk says phone companies scamming Twitter with two-factor authentication is costing the company $60 million a year. What are my options? The good news is that you do not have to pay $8 a month for Twitter Blue to use two-factor authentication. You will need to download an authenticator app and link your Twitter account to it. You have a lot of different options that are free to download, including 2FAS, Google Authenticator, Twilio Authy, and Microsoft Authenticator. Another option is to use a security key. What happens if I don’t do anything? The warning from Twitter says users utilizing two-factor authentication and don’t disable it before March 20 may not have access to their accounts. Twitter’s blog doesn’t mention locking accounts, but does say accounts with text message two-factor authentication still enabled on March 20 will have it disabled. Disabling text message two-factor authentication does not automatically disassociate your phone number from your Twitter account. So, maybe nothing, or users may have to deal with Twitter to try to get accounts unlocked.
Twitter Responds To All Email Inquiries From The Press With A Poop Emoji, 51-Year-Old Owner Elon Musk Reports
LMAO @ Musk and SpaceX... (I actually watch this launch live yesterday.) "Minutes after ignition, SpaceX’s Starship rocket exploded mid-flight. The company calls it a “rapid unscheduled disassembly.”" https://weather.com/science/space/video/why-did-spacexs-starship-rocket-explode Wow, talk about putting a positive spin on something...I learned a long time ago that if someone tries really hard, they can find a way to justify just about anything.
The goal was to clear the tower. Everything after that was gravy. They learned a ton from this launch.
The actual goal was to orbit the earth nearly once and to splash down and be recovered just off Hawaii. Several of the engines either never fired or quit working shortly after launch. So in that sense, it was by no means an optimum outcome. If you want to view it as a success just because it "cleared the tower" that's up to you. But needless to say, SpaceX has a LOT of work to do. I'm not a fan of Musk and could care less about SpaceX. I simply pointed out the hilarity of SpaceX's spin on on yesterday's malfunction/explosion as a "rapid unscheduled disassembly".
I don't particularly like musk either, but yeah... It's a good idea to have a plan if your ship can do it. But seriously. This is the first launch ever with that many engines. The odds of going orbital were incredibly low. Almost 0. And SpaceX knew that.
Sure, that's what they say now, what else would they say? Not like they admitted before the launch "This thing will probably explode 4 minutes after the launch, we just hope it clears the tower"...lol But you gotta admit, the "rapid unscheduled disassembly" was laughable.
Prior to the launch https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/16/world/starship-spacex-launch-test-orbit-scn/index.html
Geeez...once again...I'm not debating whether the glass is half empty or half full...instead, I only posted about the silly spin SpaceX put on it. ("rapid unscheduled disassembly") And Musk was not the one who posted that lame spin. My initial post stands...nothing more, nothing less.
I don't think it's spin. They expect these things to explode untill they get it right. And they don't expect to get it right yet. The explosions are fun. Of course it would be awesome to have it all work on the first try, but that's not a real possibility when you're advancing this fast. The ("rapid unscheduled disassembly") is a nod to the fun part of these mostly expected explosions. They expect explosions, but they don't really know at what point they will happen. Thereby, unscheduled. Again, I don't think it's spin. That was the longest flight we've ever seen from that large of a rocket, or a rocket with that many engines. It's an incredible achievement, and there is no doubt they learned a lot from it. This is why they make so much more progress faster than other rocket companies.
