After a bunch of failures, a Starship test article flew on up to around 150 meters, translated, popped out some dinky little landing legs, and then (apparently) safely landed itself, though seemingly at a bit of an angle. Woo!
And an official SpaceX video with some more enlightening angles:
Louisville style:
The whole multi-page list of demands, including “consequences of failing to bend the knee, are posted HERE.
It’s terribly Orwellian and fascistic with substantial socialist overtones, which should surprise precisely nobody. It will be interesting to see:
1) What percent of businesses in the area bend the knee
2) What happens to those that ignore this
3) What happens to those who post “FU” in their windows.
There is already some forward motion on this. Some Cuban business owners, people who have already experienced the magic and mystery of socialism, have stood up to the bullies.
And it’s about time.
Protestors on their way to harass the Seattle police chief @carmenbest at her home, encountered locals who were not in the mood to host protests in their neighborhood.
Protestor: “We are peaceful! You pointed a gun at my face!”
Resident: “That’s why you are peaceful.” pic.twitter.com/QU0FzwReNG

A city in the middle east suffers an explosion? That’s unpossible! Whatever the source… great googaly moogaly, this one was impressive.
It was a port facility that exploded, so there are any number of possibilities. but I’m sure experts will be able to say pretty quickly what the prime suspects are; that red dust/smoke seems like it aught to be a major clue. It *looks* like a nitrogen tetroxide or red fuming nitric acid cloud, but it seems like that quantity of rocket fuel would be an unusual thing to have in a port like that. of course, if someone was illicitly shipping storable rocket propellants through the port, it’s not surprising that something unfortunate just happened to happen to it.
More vids after the break…
The business model of tomorrow… today!
Been seeing these pop up recently…
There is some value here. that said… I think the bardcore thing’s shelf life is pretty short.
Similar in layout to Concorde. Doubtless similar issues in making it make any sort of economic sense.
Not much in the way of details (Mach 3 cruise above 60,000 feet), and the artwork is very likely essentially speculative. Passenger count is a meager 9 to 19, putting it squarely in the “business jet” category.
So in Maine it is legal to have and use marijuana… but it’s not legal to sell it. So how does a company legally make money in Maine off weed? Quite simple: if you have *lost* your weed, their incredible team of psychics will, for a fee, find it for you.
F’ing BRILIANT.
At Incredibles.me we pride ourselves in being able to recover your lost cannabis and return it to you in minutes, not hours.
Capitalism: solving the worlds problems and making a buck doing it.
LEGALITY OF RECREATIONAL WEED IN MAINE
Cannabis Delivery Services are illegal in Maine. Gifting Cannabis is illegal in Maine. Don’t worry though! It is still legal for an Adult age 21/+ to carry 2.5oz of Cannabis Flower and up to 5 grams of concentrates!
So under your scenario you are in Maine vacationing, living, etc… and you lost your weed. OH NO! Who do you call? The INCREDIBLES.ME Psychic Service! We have Psychics roaming all over Portland communicating with their deity, their spirit guides, and having religious moments of clarity. We can guarantee to find your LOST WEED!! (For a small, but very worth while fee!).
Just login to this site, and select the cannabis or cannabis products you lost, and give us your address. We will find YOUR weed and get it back to you ASAP. Fees vary based on the time it takes us to find your weed, the quantity of weed we have to locate, and the distance in which we have to travel to get YOUR LOST weed back to you.
I get it… it sounds like crazy crackpot stuff right? Well it is effective, and more importantly it is (in our opinion) LEGAL! (It also is out of respect for law enforcement, we are not scoff laws, we respect the men and women in blue who protect this State.) Maine is going through some cannabis growing pains. While these growing pains are happening, why not avail yourself of our services? We are not a delivery service, we are not furnishing you weed. We are simply returning YOUR property! If you have LOST your weed, please feel free to reach out to us! Your word is good enough for us. If you say you LOST IT, we will FIND IT, GUARANTEED or you pay nothing.
I don;t smoke weed. Do you? I DON’T CARE. So any dodge, hustle, scam someone can come up with to find loopholes in dumbass laws and exploit them, making a profit while providing a product people actually want… wonderful.
… to give up *everything.*
Since the Antifa/BLM riots spurred the lefties in Minneapolis to debase their police department, crime has spiked. And with fewer cops less willing to do much of anything, crime will continue to spike. Residents will have to assume that they are on their own. And since in this new woke world it would be wrong to tell residents to push back against criminality, it is apparently now official policy for civilians in the 3rd precinct to just roll over and let criminals do whatever they want. For now that means letting them take your stuff. In the future… who knows. I would counsel women to stay the frak away from Minneapolis given what *you* will be expected to let criminals do to and with you.
This is the world the far left wants you to have. This is the world that much of the media refuses to describe accurately… calling it “peaceful protests” when anyone with eyes can see it’s rioting, looting and arson. This is the world that Biden would bumble us into.
Recommendation: get armed, get trained, and vote against any politician who supports or ever supported laws that would strip from you your right and ability to defend yourself, your family, your home or your stuff.
