I brought up Northrop because I'm guessing they bid a Cygnus derived deorbit vehicle.

I think the reddit streams pages (RIP /r/nbastreams, /r/soccerstreams, etc) were the peak of stream accessibility and quality for me. I have some go-to sites now, but those subreddits were so convenient and easy.
I switched to AntennaPod for podcasts because of this. It's also just a better experience - it auto downloads new episodes and deletes them after playing.
I haven't had Prime for years but still shop on Amazon a bit. You get free shipping on orders over... $25 or $35? So group a few non urgent things and you're good to go. I pay for quicker shipping maybe once or twice a year, and pay for shipping in other sites maybe a half dozen times a year.
Allowlist and Blocklist are also more intuitive to people who haven't heard the terms before.
They were already trying to ruin it with Tidal exclusive albums
but the womails and chimails, too
A Pi-hole is easy to set up if you already have a Raspberry Pi and a router that supports changing the DNS (I had one that was rented from an ISP that didn't).
You can still get free Amazon shipping without Prime, and they generally beat the week or so that they say they'll do for me.
I'm moving and starting over with a lot of my computer / AV setup. I had Plex awhile ago but haven't run a media server in at least a few years. Should I go with Jellyfin or Emby? Or something else? I guess the main limitation is streaming to a smart TV.
Does your TV have a USB port? You might literally be able to just download files to an external drive and go plug that into your TV.
Yup, I'm at the point where I gave up on cleaning at all because I get screwed every single time.
That's a good point, and I hadn't thought about that angle, that there just isn't a reason for the terms to exist in the first place.
"In the red" and "in the black" is another pair that isn't intuitive to me at all and I have to look up every time.
They know they can get away with it and almost nobody will take them to small claims court.
Eh. Mine freaks out and fails half the time I try to go full screen. And the frame rate seems like it gets awful randomly.
AstroForge thinks they can close the business case for asteroid mining. Their concept is to launch mining satellites to near-Earth M-type asteroids to mine platinum group metals. These would go on 2 year missions to bring back $100 million+ in metal at a time. With launch and satellite costs dropping, it might just work. Their forge demo sat has been struggling but moving forward. Their asteroid flyby demo sat should launch later this year.
Redwire 3d printed a meniscus in space last year. That'll take awhile to get worthwhile scale and cost, but it's another interesting avenue.
Varda hit regulatory trouble, but their orbital drug manufacturing demo did its job.
I don't think this is true anymore. The cost of a rideshare with SpaceX is super accessible. Companies can launch for <$1 million. This has been huge for a lot of companies trying to launch a proof of concept or one-off, and even for some operational constellations.
Seriously, the Starlink and Falcon 9 production is unlike anything else. Amazon and China will try to copy it, but it'll take them way more time and money.
Will you feel just as smug about your moral high ground if you don't vote and Trump wins and makes all that and much more worse?
It's a fucked system, but it's the one we have right now. Not voting for the lesser of two evils means you're ok with the even worse guy winning.
How is this a handout? They bid for a contract and won it vs competitors.
I'm hoping we get a source selection statement soon where they spell out why companies like Northrop and Blue didn't win.
