The End of America (and Western World)

[ManifestedISO]

At least our fat people know better than to install rocket velocity sensors upside down, despite the little arrows, destroying a trio of navigation satellites worth $200 million.

I can't describe how much that made me laugh.

[Zoraptor]

While undoubtedly funny, in a way...

 

"A first possible root cause of the failed deployment of the parachutes was announced in an October 14 press release. Lockheed Martin had built the system with an acceleration sensor's internal mechanisms wrongly oriented (a G-switch was installed backwards), and design reviews had not caught the mistake."

 

...it isn't like Americans have never made the same mistake.

 

My favourite space failure (apart from spectacular generic rocket failures in which no one is hurt) is the Mars Orbiter that crashed into Mars at a ludicrously high velocity because someone decided to use pound seconds instead of newton seconds, something that would gladden the hearts of every high school science student who's ever made an SI unit conversion mistake.

USA is stronk! Statistics of space launches by country ( first column - country, second column - all launches, third column - failed launches )

 

 

 

Russia ban export of RD-180 to USA ( because Syria ), and USA can't into space now.

Oky is an edgy guy. Hey Oky, you live in a police state and your country hates gay people. You have funny accents, you guys aren't as alpha as you think, you're smelly and drunk.

I would add that your alphabet appears tired and emotional.

As someone said about Putin the other day, he's had so much plastic surgery "he looks like Robocop without his helmet."

In fairness to Putin, at least he went to a good surgeon, unlike Berlusconi.

Wals. Can you explain to me the chav culture?

Wals. Can you explain to me the chav culture?

An English friend told me that they were the rough equivalent of Guidos.

[Walsingham]

Chav culture can't be explained wholly in terms of American subcultures, though.

 

Because you have to remember that an essential part of being a chav is suckling on the teats of the State. Ideally, as a chav, one should spend the most productive parts of the day sitting on a badly maintained brick wall in a public space, sullenly gazing at nothing.

 

In the US I believe guidos have to be self-supporting.

You are aware that this is the same Scott Lively who co-wrote The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party which claimed that the Nazi party was founded by gays and that they were responsible for the Holocaust?

Oby you really need to research your sources a bit more.

These people are Chav's or they are common Brittish citiezens?

You ever have a moment where you want to laugh, but your lungs and oesophagus just won't let you even begin because you might actually die?

That's not that different from some ghetto cultures here.

Those are just a bunch of funtwits from Brighton out on the lash. Not chavs.

 

Nice touch confusing Ireland with the UK, btw. See I knew you could do better if you put your mind to it.

Players who took part in last night’s thrilling 0-0 draw with Ukraine said they take to the pitch all fired up about Shakespeare, Churchill and Kate Moss but then run out patriotism towards the end of the first half.

 

Captain Steven Gerrard said: “At first we were keeping each other going with shouts of ‘Stephenson’s Rocket!’ ‘The abolition of slavery!’ ‘Isambard Kingdom Brunel!’

 

“But as half-time approached, we’re down to things like Fray Bentos pies, Homes Under the Hammer and the 24-hour Toby Carvery in Shenley Church End, Milton Kenyes.

 

“And by the second half, after Roy’s team talk about Last of the Summer Wine, out-of-town retail parks and Fisherman’s Friends, it was all we could do not to kick the ball into our own net.”
