That looks excellent, thanks!

Yes but remember there is not currently much that needs that large of a rocket, and you get diminishing returns on rideshare. Major satellites are still likely to need private launches and there’s no point in buying a bigger launching you need.
Large rockets are currently needed
- for space stations - a handful of times total
- manned missions to moon/mars, a few times
- a constellation like Starlink can take more advantage of rideshare
Current space economy has a use for maybe half a dozen launches per year. All that money developing re-use, building multiple launches per sites, a lot of the basic technology, is a waste, if that’s all we need.
Making back that excessive development cost, achieving that low launch price, entirely depends on there being sufficient market to launch many times per year. It’ll be revolutionary for sure, but only if
They’ve designed and built for scale, which will be amazing when it happens, but only if we scale dramatically.
Good thing the federal government violated state sovereignty and human rights so the Trump administration could celebrate this success of their policies!
The case broke in 2022, during President Joe Biden’s administration,
People who drive Subarus have beards and wear flannel. But in my case it’s literal
Maybe, but this was NOT just raising the minimum wage. This was raising the minimum wage for fast food workers of large franchises. They deliberately distorted the job market and at least some of those negatives are because of that.
The question is what goal were they intending by distorting the job market and was that achieved?
“Were”? So what’s the argument against raising the minimum wage again, now that the federal minimum is still stagnating and all the states that increased theirs are dropping behind again ?
I have to admit that what my teens are earning at part time jobs seem so much higher than what I earned as a kid …. After decades of inflation, and there’s no way an independent adult could support themselves
Edit after RTFA: I never knew anyone who thought a $15 minimum wage was crazy as an idea: everyone focussed on doubling there’s minimum wage as a crisis. The obvious solution is to schedule a regular increment so we are never faced with that again. Unfortunate reality is waiting an other decade then have everyone scream over doubling yet again.
Realistically most/all states phased it in over years, so this was never a real concern. Perhaps there’s a messaging issue here
It’s all about lack of consumer protection in the us, the triumph of marketing over honesty. It’s not just an opportunity to skim more profit but to sell more with the claim your service is better than it is
Yes but so? Isn’t this Starlink telling fcc to give up and just send them all the money? That fcc commissioners is saying that’s stupid, we need to keep trying?
I fully agreed they have completely screwed up broadband rollout while spending $100B of our money. But that doesn’t mean an Elon monopoly is a better choice. Let Starlink compete as one of the choices but make sure there are choices
But it goes both ways. Starship is about jump starting a much larger space economy, but it also requires a much larger space economy.
Falcon 9 is sufficient for today’s space economy. It already carries 80% by mass of the worlds launches. As the economy gradually grows, it’s easy to see it increment to keep pace, or other companies/countries growing into bigger shares. In this world, starship is a waste of time and money.
But if we get that paradigm shift, suddenly starship is at the center
Most other celebrities at least have a reason to maybe they build a swasticar or monopolize the PC software market but there’s a reason they are rich and famous, even if you don’t like it
But why is kardassia? They are able to take up so much attention, so much time, so much of the internet, and make themselves ever richer, yet there doesn’t seem to be a reason, beyond the sex tape that kicked it off. They’ve somehow built a palace on a swamp and it hasn’t fallen over. They are the epitome of empty celebrity worship

Ha, my company is selling accessories for Claude! In any gold rush the only reliable profit is for those selling “shovels”!
I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?
