The Atlas rocket was single stage to orbit.
But yeah, every Gemini and Apollo rocket was staged, as was the space shuttle.

Fuck, you can probably go all the way back to Sumeria with this one.
Makes me want to buy some campaign signs…
“Oust RINO Ted Cruz, vote All-Red for senate this November!”
You don’t even need “power hungry mods” for that to go wrong, you just need mods who don’t care. That’s EXACTLY where Facebook and Twitter are right now. Getting content removed there is basically impossible, I’ve reported people for death threats and was told they never violated community standards.
If the platform isn’t going to moderate itself, the users should be able to.
While it’s true that the downvote often gets abused as a way to stifle otherwise-good discussion, without it it’s hard to deal with discussion that truly should NOT be happening.
There’s a reason election denial is more common and looks more legitimate on Facebook and Twitter. It’s because they don’t have a mechanism for people to nuke that discussion out of the top of the thread.
The US dollar is never worth less nor more than than 1 US Dollar. If you owe a debt in USD, the size of that debt does not change based on the purchasing power of the dollar.
That’s beside the point, because you don’t pay taxes in denominations of “loaves of bread”, you pay them in US dollars. If you pay with an asset that is wont to change its value in US dollars on a whim, that’s a gamble for the government. There’s a reason people don’t regularly pay taxes with stock options.
The GameCube was pretty mediocre as a console, but SO MANY of its games have aged like wine.
This bit is slightly less removed from reality than the average SovCit rant. The collateral is the house, but the piece of paper (deed/lien) says who legally owns the house. Without that documentation, the bank wouldn’t accept the fact that a house merely exists, as collateral for the loan.
But like any good SovCit, they take the grain of truth and try to fill a canyon with it.
They also drop a cool shield in Elden Ring.
Some useful simulations for understanding many proposed voting styles, and the potential drawbacks of each.
Brief moment when the black vote mostly got ahead of voter disenfranchisement efforts.
This wasn’t too long after MLK’s assassination, and Montgomery was a major target of his efforts to increase black voter registration.
“Likely” is a huge stretch. “Possible” I could buy in some states.
Not sure if it’s my specific app or lemmy as a whole, but that spoiler tag isn’t working. Sometimes they’ll break if you put a space between the tag and your text.

Looks like reddit spoiler tags just don’t work in general

“Hey this is CVS, we have your prescription ready”
[Go to CVS]
“Oh, we received the prescription from your doctor but it isn’t filled yet. Can we fill it now? No, come back in 2 hours.”
There was some social commentary in that golden casino planet where the rich lived in excess while the poor barely got by (pay no attention to the Jabba behind the curtain)
And, of course, they cast minorities in leading roles!
I still have a sound card, because I have a stupid sound bar that works great except it only takes optical audio input.
Prob aren’t getting severance nor unemployment if you get fired for 2 weeks of no-call-no-show.
I just need more struts.
