  • That is again due to how they are treated and funding constriction. NASA has not received the same “grace” in failures that you are giving SpaceX. They’d love to do more missions and they’re also better about doing things right. You should know whether your rocket works before it’s launched just like a bridge needs to work as built. NASA also doesn’t get money from it’s missions. Whatever they put in orbit doesn’t generate revenue it is only for public data gathering.

    That is such a crass reference to Challenger… SpaceX mishaps so far have not killed people. Will you still be giving them leeway when they do?










  • Fermentation is organic substrate like glucose->other things, anaerobically. You don’t get alcohol without sugar being converted to ethanol. The bacteria or yeast doing so can have different byproducts depending on substrate and the fermenting organism(s). Now the more complex sugars present in a fibrous fruit like pineapple does probably result in more sugar left than usual. Additionally pineapple acidity may also reduce the direct fermentation capability. If you do as with grains where you cook and macerate it and/or increase the pH some you’d probably be able to reduce the leftover sugar sweetness more while increasing the alcohol and sour notes.







  • I’m a younger millennial. I was still pretty young during Bush jr term 1 and while there was certainly distrust of Cheney and Bush there was a general positive note towards the actual office of the president and a congress that while slow still did things. I hadn’t learned about Newt’s fuckery nor really understood Bush v Gore. Then there was Iraq and it took a long time before we heard about the lies used to start the war. Then Obama was overall a positive influence on the presidential reputation(deservedly or not is debatable). Congress (at least Rs) certainly lost much of my trust under Obama with the shutdowns and nominee holdups. This is when I started paying more attention. Then, of course Trump made any trust in the office 0 (if not negative) and Rs lost all trust from the repeated hypocrisy and plain evil and of course the impeachment debacles. Biden was improving trust in the office of the president at least somewhat before Gaza. Congress on the other hand (Dems included now because of Manchin, Sinema, Feinstein, etc) has lost any remaining trust I had.

    I can’t speak for others but while I generally always disliked congressional representatives I naively had faith in the institution overall for longer than I should have.
