Isn’t there a fundamental issue that EO’s are not laws? Regardless of the scope of their intent the law is the law and the constitution is the constitution. If the court were to agree that this anchor baby stuff going forward should be negated isn’t the place that’s done via an amendment or law and not an order? I’m assuming there is something I am missing I guess

Yes, like they did on the space shuttle and today on the ISS, but in Apollo days they put it in bags. Entirely manual. You taped the bag to yourself. Urine was deposited outside. “Constellation Urine” as Wally Schirra called it. That used some vacuum tech as you attached yourself to a tube. I guess it hurt sometimes because of the vacuum portion. Then it was dumped. In Apollo 13 the crew was told to stop the dumps because they were worried about them affecting their trajectory. That request was rescinded but the crew didn’t realize it. So they had bags of urine taped all over the inside of the spacecraft and the moisture was causing the tape to come off. So it’s cold, dark, hungry, and bags of piss everywhere. in some Apollo missions the fecal bags were carefully labeled and analyzed later by scientists to see how the body digested food in zero G. Everything in they ate was carefully logged.

That’s what I am getting at. What a government employee signs because of their job and the data they have access to is not th same thing as Trump making his whores sign so they won’t talk about his sick or his employees won’t talk about tbhim young girls visiting mar a Lago.

What I mean by a legal document is the law can’t come after you. Poor choice of words. It’s not a criminal act to “break” one. Nobody will arrest you. If you sign one and I thjnk you break it by only course of action is to sue. I can’t call the cops or city hall.

Isn’t an NDA just a contract between two parties? It’s not a legal document. It’s never been tested for government work and I doubt would hold up in a civil court.

What we're seeing is AI being put on objectives so people coming up with things that are not AI, calling it AI, and everybody plays along... the the big wigs can tell Wall St we did AI.

I've seen it said that AI can make people more productive... so if that's true then why would you negate that productivity by firing people? Don't you want more output? Or is productivity not the real goal? (Rhetorical question, I know).

I saw quotes by Barret to the effect of "Yeah but the Constitution" The solicitor is like "It's a brave new world...." Roberts said "It might be but the constitution is still the constitution"

Going up in an Orion would be a lot better than an Apollo command module. It’s got about 50 % more space but also another crew member. But the interior is also laid out favorably. It’s not cockpit style with switches and dials guages. It’s touchscreens. embedded in the Apollo 10 transcript is the realization that a “turd” was floating around. Fecal containment devices.

Artemis III is no longer set as a landing mission. Isaacman reconfigured the plans, in a good way. I’m still skeptical that will happen as they don’t even have a lander settled yet. But yeah I have been excited for this mission for a long time. I took the day of work for it. what is different about Artemis and Apollo is Apollos focus was going to the moon. Artemis is about deep space with the moon as a steppingstone for that. They are testing different things. Apollo was about learning how to do it. Was the math correct? Do the radars and communication systems work? The problems being solved were more practical. We have the tools now for that so focus can shift to the equipment itself like the Orion capsules performance. Artemis II is going to slingshot around the moon, like Apollo 13 had to do after their problem. They. will not go into orbit There’s no need to. The risk and fuel requirements are unnecessary . They know they can do it when the time comes. Most Apollo lunar missions started in a free return launch trajectory and once things looked good they altered course for their lunar orbit path. Humans have not left earth orbit since December 1972, This is a very big deal for space enthusiasts.

probably playing with grass or something.

Could be. I was able to record it and rewind and all that

"Professional Hitter" You had to say that every time Jefferies name was mentioned.

That's why it's in alphabetical order!

For me I can tell he's heavily lyrically based and I struggle with that. I need a groove or a hook musically, something to bop my head or tap my foot to. Badlands comes close to me as one I can listen to regularly, aside from the mid 80's poppy stuff like Glory Days and Dancing in the Dark. But I don't consider that the crux of his catalog. I've seen videos of boomers at shows singing along with Badlands and I respect it. Maybe it's how I felt seeing Foo Fighters a few years ago... like "Yes, this is my young adulthood and now I'm in my 50's..." I saw him once say that he wanted to be Dylan but Dylan that they played on the radio.
