Well, that’s customer satisfaction.

Comes from all the nonsense I talk.

Look, I know I’m wrong. But I like it that way. Jog on.

Tampons weigh nothing

When you’re dealing with the tyranny of rocketry, every gram matters.

That said, I agree with your point. The mass and volume was well within acceptable mission parameters.

Sir. I will not hear a word against LaForge.

Are there any Russian workplace comedy?

In this example, the child is living, and has needs.

Wish I could vote for him.

Well, that’s not gonna win him any votes.

As a pure act, I can’t see that it causes any harm.

However, it will very likely lead to frustration, anger, and poor treatment of the person in question. Those things are bad.

Very nice.

How about those Epstein files?

Do your iPhones usually take oil?

What do you think plastic is made from?

Packaging, no. But manufacturing it into something else, yes.

Do you think a tariff on copper would apply to an iPhone? Or a tariff on oil?

Congratulations on getting what you voted for.

That’s generally how tariffs work. A tariff on grain is not a tariff on bread. A tariff on steel is not a tariff on knives. A tariff on cotton is not a tariff on clothing.

It can be, of course. A tariff can be on steel and items made with steel. But that’s not usually the case, and it’s usually called out as such. Of course, Trump is not what you’d call the most precise communicator in the world, but all we can do is work with what he says.

Right, but this tariff, at least as I understand it, is on chips imported as chips, not on products that contain chips. An iPhone will, of course, be subject to some other damn fool tariff, but not this specific one.

Of course, my understanding of this specific tariff may be wrong.

What he means is, if I buy an iPhone built in China, this tariff won’t affect the price I pay.

But if I buy a phone built in America, with an imported processer, this tariff will make that phone more expensive.

Unlike the Left, we don’t believe in erasing American history — we honor it.”

Really? Because your guys spent the first few months of this year erasing as much history of women and minorities as you could get your hands on.

Oh and you guys are trying to erase about half the history of impeachment in the country.

This is the way.

I’m an actual engineer with a degree and everything, although this is not my area of expertise, it’s one I’m familiar with.

They could do something like you suggest, but every step becomes more expensive and less effective. The exhaust from a coal fired power plant is still plenty hot, and more energy could be extracted from it. But it requires more and more to make less and less.

The curse of every engineer is to see a way to them every waste stream into a useful product, but not being able to do so profitably. (Which means no-one will approve the project)
