Kids these days have it easy. Internet everywhere, not having to use 3.5" floppies...

And I get to ride in the front of the pickup truck.

They do use the MRO as a go between. https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission/communications/#data From reading about it seems the issue is a mix of infrastructure on Earth - NASA identified that the DSN they use for these communications needs improvement - and issues such as power and space on the rovers. So really just down to money, I guess

This reaction came to me too late. Great clip from YPM too. https://gfycat.com/indelibleblondamericanmarten

Those damn windmills blew Ted Cruz' plane off course, too.

Reminds me I need to talk to my boss about my promotion. I'll be promoted to Senior Human Cron Job.

If it doesn't have interpretive dance, it will suck more

I just play Tupac or something occasionally off mute, confirms my IT gangsta nerd status.

Returned to work after time off, only made it 5 minutes into daily conference call before urge to kill self returned. Was pretty funny though, seems even after all this time of WFH people still don't know to mute themselves, invest in a cheap headset so there's no massive echo when they speak. People figuring out the way a list works is still an issue, but given up on that (sure Jeff, just join and talk about your item at #14 when we are on #2...). At least no one breathing heavily, on this call.

Well, apparently FERC could. But they're EVIL Gubment folk.

Why are they clowns, exactly ?

Is funny to watch when you consider the delay.

"It's a birthmark" "What do you mean?" "He was born with it" Best dialogue.

Situation in Texas shows the benefits of less regulations, for sure.

More RT3 scenarios fall before me, getting gold on the Central Pacific, and Go West ones. Only 6 more left to get gold on and I can close this chapter in my life. Also playing Overwatch off and on, made it to Gold league and somehow the experience is worse than Silver, just people playing poorly intentionally, leavers and ever present neckbeards raging so much they let up on the push to talk key.

"Harden the **** up" is what you'd expect, I have to say. Well, could also expect "this is due to immorality/gays/liberals"

Eh, he used to say pretty classless stuff himself. Granted best time to stick the knife in him would be when he was still alive, but I'm sure some did. Hm, wonder if he ever changed his tune about smoking and lung cancer Seeing right wingers clutch their pearls about the nasty stuff being said is precious though. The whole talk about not speaking ill of dead always reminds me of a priest at school that went on a rant about why he despises eulogies in the Church, as they are fundamentally dishonest, heh.

Rush Limbaugh. Guess it's a loss to some.

The correct way is to count by ordering the digits in increasing length.

Such a lack of Teutonic efficiency

FInally gotten around to this after much procrastination. Is an enjoyable read, same style as Voices from Chernobyl where she just lets people tell their stories. Some of the woman have interesting and amusing accounts. So far I liked the story of the political commissar of a laundress battalion - part of an interesting section of things going on in support of the front line like laundry, cooks, etc.

Got gold in the RT3 1848 scenario at last. Got lucky with having good credit and low rates and just spammed bonds to open up Prussia, still not entirely sure how best to handle express freight but that is the money maker, did spoke and hubs sort of. That scenario being only silver on my list has been over my head for 18 years
