Because the prosecutor threw the case.

They have a $25B yearly budget.

What is SpaceX spending on R&D? From what I’ve read, Starship is estimated to cost $10B for development and their R&D budget for 2023 was $1.5B. If NASA was going to build something similar themselves, they’ve had nearly 70 years and hundreds of billions to accomplish it.

In reality their budget goes toward companies like Boeing, Northrop Grummon, and Lockheed Martin, who then pocket it and build substandard equipment. This is all public information so I can’t imagine why people are downvoting other than being extremely emotional for some inexplicable reason.

The Israeli army’s radio said that Israeli F-35 fighter jets dropped 2000-pound bunker-buster bombs on the residential buildings.

NASA farms these out to outside companies to build anyway, as seen with the latest Boeing space fiasco, so I don’t necessarily believe this to be true. These defense contractors seem to be interested in little more than milking the US government for all they’re worth.

just weeks before the payments giant was sued by the U.S. Department of Justice

Months before to be more precise. He also sold them a year after the investigation was announced when the share price was lower than it is today, after the lawsuit was filed, so I don’t see why this one example is being viewed as being so scandalous.

The investigation was announced publicly a year ago.

And it should be noted that when he sold these shares, the share price was even lower than it is now after the lawsuit was announced and the stock dropped within the last few days.

It also screws with post sorting on the front page since Lemmy still doesn’t have a high enough rate of new posts/comments.

Not sure why you keep claiming that nobody but you read the article since I did read it. Perhaps you should put a little effort into writing your comments instead of doing a copy and paste along with a two word comment?

Why did you include a different quote in your last comment when you said “that’s why?”

Now you’re saying “no that’s not why, (new quote) this is why!”

Yes but apparently she was busy doing cocaine and using the prop guns with live ammunition to shoot cans in their downtime to consider the safety aspect. People will point out that she’s unqualified or whatever, but her father is a famous Hollywood armorer as well.

There’s no way that sparkling white cat is feral.

I choose death!

Jesus, I thought this was the other post, “Whats your favorite movie of all time?” and I was judging the shit out of you for this list.

Messenger is the worst for this especially since I only have my work phone on half the time so I tend to get a lot of old notifications for messages I’ve already read when I turn it on.

That doesn’t sound like a Firefox issue.

I think those substitutions are picked by the person filling your order. We got a hilarious substitution from Walmart once. My wife ordered a bottle of thyme or oregano or something similar. They were out of stock so the worker went to the garden center and substituted it with a fucking potted plant of thyme or oregano. We both laughed our asses off at their choice but it wasn’t what we needed.

Seems like that should be flagged for copyright infringement as well.

I get the sentiment but “Loki Skywalker” and “Jessica” are far from comparable even if Jessica would have been viewed in the same light 500 years ago.

Wait til you find out about AWS and how half the internet runs on it.

Not only that but Amazon isn’t the only online retailer to sell stuff like this. OP only checked some brick and mortar stores then went straight to Amazon without even checking out other places like Canon directly, B&H, Walmart.com, etc.
