Eating any rare wild game is stupid.

You’re eating a wild animal, you have no idea what it’s been eating, drinking, or rolling around in. Cook the hell out of it.

Last time I made elk, I slow cooked it for like 8 hours. It was fall apart tender, but it had been in boiling broth for many hours. You can make delicious meals with wild game, you just have to cook it right.

That’s kind of like saying that ford can’t make a model t anymore.

I’m sure they could, there’s just no reason to.

I’m also sure the contractors that built the Saturn V, those that are still in business, could build equivalent parts today if the government asked.

The Saturn five was an absurdly large rocket designed specifically to get 3 people from earth to the moon. It was insanely expensive per launch, and the only reason it ever flew was because the government was writing nasa blank checks in order to beat the soviets.

Today the government wants a reasonable dollar figure for a launch, and the days of spending a billion dollars per launch are long past.

That’s an extremely bold assumption.

The space shuttle was designed originally to be rapidly reusable, but its shortest turn around time was still measured in weeks, not days.

And its main engines only produced water as a by product, no soot or carbon deposits to worry about.

The party of conspiracy theories is eating itself due to conspiracy theories.

That seems about right.

The “front” or “forward” direction of a screw is clearly the face of the fastener itself, be it a hex head, Phillips, or Slotted screw. Picking a side of a face as the front doesn’t make any sense. The whole thing needs to rotate one direction or another, and it will either rotate to the right to tighten, or the left to loosen.

If I ask you what the front of a clock is, are you going to tell me it’s the top curve near the ceiling? No it’s the face of the clock, and the hands rotate around it to the right.

If you follow that arrow around to the next with your hand, which direction is your hand moving?

That is indicating clockwise rotation, or a rotation to the right. We’re talking about circles here

The whole thing is rotating to the right, that’s what clockwise means. Clocks rotate to the right. One arrow is not pointing left, it’s pointing in the direction of rotation, which is to the right.

What the fuck are you talking about.

You’re either rotating the fastener to the right or the left.

It doesn’t matter what side you’re talking about, because you’re not moving one side of the fastener, you’re rotating the whole thing one direction or the other.

Clockwise just means something is rotating to the right.

If I ask you to turn around to the right, are you going to ask me what side of you I’m referencing?

Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with Trump and the GOP giving said oligarchs a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

The country got robbed, they got the profits, and now they want to get in the cookie jar again, and we’re going to be left holding the bag with another trump term.

I can only hope he’s so incompetent that none of project 2025 gets moving beyond more tax breaks for billion dollar corporations. If they gut the government like is planned, the country is going to fall apart like the Soviet Union did.

The US did it.

We were invading the Middle East since before I was born, and I almost signed up to get free school when I wanted to be a doctor. I would have likely treated soldiers that were still being wounded in the Middle East.

Oh we have generics all over the place.

The problem is that large drug companies abuse our patent systems to keep their drugs exclusive for longer than should be allowed.

Look at EPI pens. The drug is just Adrenaline, you can get a vial of that anywhere as long as you have a prescription. But the EPI pen mechanism itself is patented. So no other manufacturer can sell an easy to use, pre measured dose of Adrenaline without violating the patent. That’s why EPI pens cost hundreds of dollars instead of the 20 bucks they probably actually cost to produce. And you need that mechanism, because no one with a throat that’s closing is going to be able to calmly pull out and ampule or vial, measure the right dose into a syringe, and get it into their system before they pass out from anaphylaxis.

He needs money to live now that the courts have started selling his business to pay off the last people he hurt by spreading insane conspiracy theories.

He’s a one trick pony, only thing he knows how to do is lie and sell snake oil pills that turn you red.

To be fair, you can exploit Skyrim by looking at it funny.

I accidentally discovered the “phase through a wall by holding a plate” thing all by myself just dicking around.

Oh boy, 7 grand by the time they’re 25.

Yeah that’ll help

I can hear all of the “Uhh” and “Ummmm” sounds that he makes every other word during a presentation.

You can tell he’s been coasting on daddy’s money his whole life, because no way would I give this man $5 for anything with the way he presents things. If you can’t present your own product confidently, it makes people feel you don’t have confidence in the product.

How he manages to get people to invest in things when even his investor calls sound like a 5th grader giving a report on a book they only read the summary of is beyond me.

• we invented the modern car, y’all are driving on the wrong side of the road
• a switch is a switch, if you don’t like the direction it goes, just flip it over and put the cover back on, half the switches in my house go one way, and the other go the opposite way, some of them are even sideways.
• y’all sank the ship that had the US copy of the metric standard on it, and also invented the imperial system in the first place.
• if you look at the entomology, the US largely uses the original English pronunciation of things, it’s the British who have slowly changed their pronunciation over the centuries. We did have a guy who intentionally changed a bunch of the spelling, you are right about that.

Semi drivers require a commercial license, and special training. They’re monitored way more closely than your average American driver.

And side mirrors only let you see what’s behind the car to the sides and at a distance, not what’s immediately behind the car. I don’t want some idiot in his $80K battering ram to roll over me because I happened to walk behind his death trap and he couldn’t be bothered to wait for the rear view camera to come up.

Not being able to see what’s immediately behind the vehicle is a safety hazard, especially in suburban areas or parking lots where most people are reversing out of a space with other people walking around.

That’s because every company that musk touches uses the Silicon Valley “move fast and break things” approach.

Apparently he thinks there’s a lot of groundbreaking innovation to be made in the 100 year old industry of making cars on assembly lines.

Nuclear bombs are pretty precise affairs.

Even the relatively simple “gun type” fission bombs require a precisely sized core of nuclear material to be encased in a neutron reflector to get an explosion instead of just a ball of hot uranium.

An implosion type bombs is more powerful but requires conventional explosives to be set off in a sphere around the core at exactly the right time, this compresses the sphere, increasing reactivity, and making it explode.

If the shape or timing is wrong, you just get a nuclear meltdown, not an explosion.

So bombing a nuclear bomb isn’t likely to set it off, it’s only likely to make the area it’s stored in uninhabitable for a few thousand years.

Either way, not a very good idea. Also, pretty sure bombing any kind of nuclear facility is considered a war crime, as it will horribly wound or kill way more civilians than anything else.

The Cybertruck has no rear view mirror when the back cover is down.

So any reversing requires the use of the backup camera.

The car also accelerates really fast, and weighs 7,000 pounds.

It’s also an $80,000+ car that was preordered by a lot of people without test driving it. So it’s primary driver is someone who makes risky and impulsive decisions.

So a really fast, heavy car that can’t see behind it without a reverse camera, driven by impulsive people makes me think the reverse camera should definitely come up really fast.
