Well I did call him the Giant Tiger Dr. Evil but no one got the reference.

Space Launch System (SLS) is a joint project of Roketdyne, Boeing and Lockheed Northrop Grumman. My issue is that Boeing is not getting enough shit and the other two are not even known.

edit, got Northrop and lockeed mixed up.

Agreed.

Yeah, but NASA does not actually make rockets anymore. All of these companies get money from NASA not instead of NASA.

Its the Costco store brand, not really relating it to a city in a foreign nation. But the reason bazos is Temu brand is just since its funny. Feel free to call them <insert what ever> brand Dr. evils though.

Same for Boeing, Rocketdyne, Northrop Grumman and the like. Why are they getting a pass?

Blue Origin

From what I can find At least $2.5 billion. So maybe kirkland branded Dr. Evil (musk) is better at spending then Temu Dr. Evil.

Yes, it is clearly in the billions. I also get angry that Boeing, Northrop Grumman (the $50k for a hammer people) and the like keep getting a free pass wasting truck loads of money without delivering.

I am arguing in good faith, this is what I could find on the prices (and since this is a private (not publicly traded) company I do take it with a grain of salt). I think you might have a bit more emotionally tied up in this then you are willing to admit.

For more fun I started to look at some of the other development costs of Space X rockets.

Starship (the big spender) : $5 billion to $10 billion

Falcon Heavy : Over $500 Million

Falcon 9 : $300 Million

Falcon 1: $100 Million

Like I dislike the kirkland brand Dr.evil as much as the next dood, but I think boeing might just have a spending issue.

SLS cost to develop so far: US$23.8 billion nominal

Falcon 9 cost to develop so far (note this was for falcon 9 1.0)(estimate): US$300 million

Once again, not even close.

Even ignoring all the other aspects of one working and the other not; The big one is even with the musk grift the cost to taxpayers is orders of magnitude different.

SLS is Over US$2 billion excluding development (estimate) per launch. While Space X just upped their cost estimates in 2022 to $67 million per launch.

Yeah, first time I have been cheering for line go down that I can think of.

Thanks, I have been watching the graph of the lag behind time and its nice to see it now at 6.1 days.

I was going to say Fallout 4 was the stinker and the only reason it gets as high of praise as it does is just how bad Fallout 76 was and after a lot of patches still is.

Oh wow, yeah its like night and day. Well now I guess I have to figure out a fix.

Sad times if I have to find another instance, again.

Any ideas what can be done longer term to address this (in general)?

Since I can’t see anything here I will check on .world

Used to have .world but for this I just test without logging in.

Thanks for the reply (I was worried no one would) but would that cause the weird behaviour I am seeing? The timing does not seem to match but it could make some sense.

If what you are saying is the cause then Lemmy as a federated whole may now be effectively split up due to sync issues?

I decided to do a bit more then just “hot” and “active” and its the same across all of them except “controversial” and “Most comments”.

“Most comments” has some .world posts in it but does not match using another instance. The only one that seems to line up is ironically sorting by “controversial”,

This is really getting weird and is making it hard to use Lemmy for me. Like I like some of the posts listed but I can not believe the largest instance is not posting anything. To make me more confused this also started at the same time Mander got really slow, and to add to the weirdness refreshing the page gives entirely different sorting of posts maybe one out of five times.

True, plowing implies work done to ready the land, this is more like swan lake playing on an old TV being tossed off an overpass.
