Millions of fellow human beings are constantly dying, being severely injured, or displaced. You fucking ghoul.

Clear sign of a terrible community: Be passively okay with someone else saying an aggressive military coalition that has repeatedly invaded innocent countries should be dissolved.

Not everything is a secret undercover cabal to serve an incredibly small number of evil-doers with one frame-per-twenty-of-minutes of not-actually-suggestive content - dang.

Plants and fungi will not only share resources, but if one is sick or damaged, they will typically get extra help from neighbours. Theory is that some also feign sickness for free resources at times.

I’m really pleased you didn’t talk about the feet, because not commenting on the feet is a real feat

Again, old forums and boards were actual communities, which were community moderated, so you naturally tended to act like a real human being or eventually get booted.

It’s not about not testing prototypes, it’s about doing your proper precautionary checks, research and initial engineering so that you don’t pointlessly blow up rockets. Yes, sometimes things will go wrong whatever you do, but that should be limited only to stuff that could not have been reasonably foreseen, and after so many failures it’s obvious that this is not the only kind of cause.

To be honest some books have decent tips, so it may be worth looking about.

The tip I was always given was: Ask questions, people love to talk about themselves.

Starbucks provides the service of coffee, Streaming services provide the service of shows to watch, nobody in their life spends $50/day on weed but if they did they’re still getting something for their money. I’m not saying any of these things are great but at least it is an exchange of money for SOMETHING.

Twitter will put a tiny .jpg next to your name on the free website that provides a service literally hundreds of thousands of websites will provide for free, what a service.

Sure? We masted normal rocket launches 50 years ago, an inability to do a standard rocket launch would be a truly insane level of incompetency.

Rocket failures do happen in prototypes, sure, but this rocket wasn’t doing anything that special, failing after four minutes is not a success nor a great data gathering event, it’s a failure in basic process. And yeah, a lack of precaution is incompetency.
