Looks like Boeing's Starliner capsule had a good launch with a successful orbit insertion burn. Looks like fresh veggies are on the menu at the ISS tomorrow. :)

@2ck Boeing had to redo this uncrewed test on their own budget, so those mistakes really hurt. I'm glad they are finally are moving on with this. We need to have multiple launch options.

@EdS @2ck Somebody is going to have a review about that. NASA is not a fan of those kind of things.

I've found that whenever somebody uses the phrase "code smell", their opinions on coding can be safely ignored.

Since I took this picture three years ago, I'm more and more convinced that I'll never take a better one.

@erinbee @matt Let me throw Tom Selleck in the ring. Watched some Magnum recently and he is quite the hairy dude.

@erinbee @sullybiker @matt Sean Connery was very hairy. Did we ever even see Roger Moore in a swimsuit?

@sullybiker @erinbee @matt Well, no idea what DuckDuckGo now thinks of me, but here is the answer: Not hairy. Also, I’m now convinced that Moore had a no-nakedness rider in his Bond contract. This seems to be the only scene in all his Bond movies with the shirt off. 😅https://screenmusings.org/movie/dvd/Live-and-Let-Die/pages/Live-and-Let-Die-392.htm

@fitheach Even wooden houses, if built on solid ground, can have that effect. Our wooden house is on a steep slope. The bedrooms rest on the hillside rocks and dirt, the living area is up on wooden posts. Our bedrooms are super-cold all summer.🥶

@fitheach Yes, they are a giant heatsink. No matter how warm it gets, the bedrooms are cool. Which is nice in summer, but annoying in winter. 😅

@xerz Looks like somebody updated the ROMs. That’s good, original 1.0 TOS was a bit rough around the edges…

@theruran @natecull Hold your horses a little bit. Witnesses of what went down in China in 1989 are still around and there is no need to check Youtube comments on fringe videos.Certainly hundreds died in the night of June 4th and in the days after. Thousands are more likely. An overwhelming state-controlled military force was used on their own citizens without regard for life AND police rounded up student leaders all around the country in the following days and certainly executed a number of them. That's how we define a "massacre".

@chronrevisited @ultramagnus_tcv @goz @48kRAM @Wintermute_BBS All around this is a great thread. In hindsight so much of the early 80s home computer market looks like people throwing random machines into the market, often without planning out even a rudimentary software path.OS development had not really become important until 16-bit machines with more storage options became a thing. So none of the companies at the time had a software culture. It was all about who can ship how many boxes the fastest.
