The main issue, although there were many, was that the engines could not be test fired.

The engines used ablative nozzles, so once you started the engine, the nozzle would be consumed, and any test fired engine would have to be completely rebuilt. So, the soviets only tested engines from each batch, I think it was something like 1 in 4 or 1 in 6 engines were tested. That sounds reasonable until you realize the N1 first stage consisted of 30 engines.

There was basically no way to tell if they’d built a bomb or a rocket until they lit it off. Turns out they built a bomb every time.

Multiple outlets including LTT and Gamers Nexus have debunked this.

The only thing you may have to do if you notice unusual performance is reapply thermal paste to the GPU, and that’s only because most thermal paste will dry out after years of sitting around or being used

If you don’t have good looks, that’s one thing, you can’t really change that.

But then if you don’t look good and you can’t try to hold a conversation, that’s your problem.

Learn to speak, it’s not hard. go talk to people and gain some confidence. All this talk about poor socialization or being unattractive and creepy just demoralizes people that I’m sure could actually make friends and meet spouses if they didn’t preemptively pull themselves out of the situation before they gave themselves the chance

Met my wife online during the pandemic.

Dated a fair few women before her, meeting online and in real life.

I’m not super attractive, and pretty awkward, but I always make the effort to be polite and actually listen instead of waiting to talk, you’d be amazed how far that actually gets you.

That’s why they target children.

Children can’t tell when they’re being scammed

MFW, Chicago pizza prices are higher than Germany and people are saying Europe has the most expensive pizzas, while other Americans are paying less than $10 for a pie.

No, but your government probably does.

Or is this too abstract a concept to extrapolate.

Fantastic, because we all know facial ID has no problems identifying non-white people.

I can see it now: Idris Elba getting picked up by the feds because O’Hare fired this thing up and recorded 700 Idris Elba’s All boarding different flights using different names.

I mean, you never owned your passport, ever.

If you look at the very first page, it says “ property of the US government” and then there’s some blurb about tampering being a felony.

Same thing for a diver’s license. You don’t own it, your state does.

I do agree that moving to digital identification is a huge mistake. It’s too easy to lose access to a digital device or account. Or have it spoofed in some way. I’d much rather have a physical ID that won’t run out of battery or have a glitch that makes accessing it impossible for an unknown length of time.

Ah yes, people love it when another person has such a weak constitution that they can’t handle the smell of incredibly common drinks

I’d rather be assumed attractive than to remove all doubt.

Go hangout at a Starbucks in a target if you want to meet women, they’re certainly not going to wander into your bedroom.

As a married man, I gotta say you’re probably selling yourself short or have unrealistic expectations of a partner.

Remember that whoever you’re going to date is a person, not a robot. People are not quantifiable. One day they may be a dick, the next they may be pleasant. Some people are willing to compromise and others aren’t. Man, woman, or other, it doesn’t matter. If you’re not willing to compromise something, you’re never going to find someone.
