  • The problem is that you’re not just sending parts out there. You have to:

    • get the upgrade rocket going fast enough to actually catch up with something going very fast with a 20 year head start
    • slow down once you get to it.
    • make the upgrades while floating in space on a piece of hardware that was designed not to be upgraded and built on earth (hope you don’t need gravity for disassembly) that you control on a 30 minute delay.

    At that point we could just launch a whole new satellite with better hardware, going faster, and covering a completely different area of space. Which is what we have done. But we can still make use of the system we have out there. It’s still the furthest out, so it’s still worth using for as long as we can




  • Yeah but that’s the thing. You don’t have to eat the steak. This isn’t just a 5 person bbq, there’s tens of thousands of people here that want to have my steak, and I’m the only person cooking in the whole town that isn’t burning the whole thing black . There’s plenty of food, sorry there’s some dirt on that one, but I’m not going to derail the whole event for you. Enjoy the barbecue. You don’t like it? Leave. But I don’t care about a little dirt on my steak because I still seared it the way I’m proud of and clearly it’s better than most of the other steaks around or you and everyone else wouldn’t be here.

    I’m here to cook steaks because having a barbecue is what I like doing. If I feel like the dirt is a problem, I’ll fix it, but I’m trying to make the best steaks possible and to me that means focusing on the cooking, not the dirt that got on yours.

    Don’t like it? Leave. Wanna bitch at me until I stop cooking? Fine by me. I’ll go inside and cook my steaks there.


  • I get what you’re going at, but the key issue is he has done well for himself. He likes his own pockets. Sure he can be equated to an influencer, but influencers job is to convince people to give themselves and their company money.

    A good businessman can pay himself well, and build his business empire. (Ideally bringing the employees and the greater community with it)

    A good president can elevate himself as a model American and elevate the country as a beacon of hope, strength, and compassion.

    Trump doesn’t build anything. He tears down the structures around him and stands on the rubble to lift himself higher.




  • May as well rant about it here.

    Whenever someone say about trump “But he’s a good businessman!” As some sort of defense, I get immediately annoyed. He is an absolute garbage businessman. He has failed or run so many businesses into the ground. He made a casino go broke, you know the business that thrives on basically just letting people come in and throw their money at you and leave?

    What he is good at is lining his own pockets. He goes into anything and lies, cheats, and schemes, then shovels as much money into his pockets as he can before someone notices and the bills come due. He makes deals with contractors, then refuses to pay, then drags them through courts until they give up and claims he got a discount. That’s not “good business” that’s theft. It’s despicable and gross.

    Every allegory we have for a corrupt, lying, thieving businessman is embodied in Trump. He is not good for business. He’s good for himself until the business fails then he moves on to the next persons pile of money to steal.

    And that’s what he is doing as president. He is selling the country piece by piece to line his own pockets, then once everything goes belly up he’ll take his money and walk away.

    Fuck Trump.





  • His ego and his pocketbook are all that matters. Arguably all that ever has. Any time you think “he did what?” consider who is paying him or stroking his ego. That’s all it is.

    New ballroom? Ego. Stripping environmental protection? Pocketbook. Invade Venezuela? Pocketbook. Ice Gestapo? Ego. He doesn’t care anything for America. He cares for the slice that lets him line his pockets and feel like a big strong boy. There is no heart, there is no morals, it’s him, his ego, and the wallet he sits on.
