re: FDA Backing Away from Plan to Ban Artificial Food Colors

This isnt exactly MAHA. Between this and them refusing to ban glysophate it's hard to think that's a good thing.

Solid statement, and interesting timing considering Artemis II launch is right around the corner though. I like that he seems to want to put some energy back into NASA because I think they've been set on a slow, lackadaisical cruise control for a couple decades now.
It's almost like someone realized that if NASA doesn't get their stuff in line they're going to get lapped by other countries and or SpaceX/etc. Also it should be painfully obvious the whole starliner incident was a gift to Boeing considering someone actively pushed along a product that should never have been greenlit.
NASA is now just a contracting agency outsourcing everything and blowing through taxpayer dollars to favored defense contractors. IMHO SLS should never have been allowed to move forward...

How does a jury just let the cops off when there is apparently so much evidence against them?
Theres a sole reason a no bill comes back on any grand jury- the DA/AG simply didn't want to indict the accused and simply tossed the case. That's it. There's literally no other reason.

In all honesty I have far more trust in Elon getting to the moon in any meaningful way long before NASA does, for like 1/10th of the cost.

No. I learned a lesson very early in life to never loan money to people. If I feel compelled to loan someone cash I will simply give it as a gift and never expect money back.

Adding to the financial pinch is Social Security's funding shortfall, which if not addressed by Congress could result in a roughly 20% cut to benefits starting in 2034.

re: Artemis II Mission - post WDR helium issue found, new launch window now NET April
Posted by NYNolaguy1 on 2/3/26 at 7:15 am to LanierSpots
At however many billions of tax payer dollars per launch, and given that Artemis has somehow taken the same amount of time to develop Apollo (Apollo had less technology and arguably smarter people), how can anyone view this as anything other than a massive money grift to the aerospace defense community?

I mean if this were the military he'd be at a very minimum NJP'd and possible administrative discharge, at worst court martialed for cowardice, desertion, and dereliction of duty.
Here, he gets to keep his badge, pay, pension, job, etc, for doing a job that's legally optional. Who thought this situation is a good idea?

Oof. Just another reminder that LEO don't have nearly the same level of oversight, responsibility, or legal standards that military members do under UCMJ for far better wages than your average junior enlisted soldier. Dereliction of duty (article 92), desertion (article 85), misbehavior before the enemy (article 99)... These charges don't exist for modern LEO. Instead at best, they resign, and get hired on by the next dept down the street until a bigger scandal emerges.

I never understood the draw unless you want to gamble and are planning on getting rooms comp'd.
For the money, hassle, and nickel and diming you're going to be in for, there's better desert locations to go to. My favorite part of visiting Vegas was seeing the Hoover Dam.

Not a dude ranch but Headwaters cabins are between Tetons and Yellowstone, though still technically in Grand Teton NP. The gate to south entrance of YS is like 5 minutes if that.

Fun fact- there's legal posturing now in legislatures where they are debating using a "User in charge" theory. Where because you're drunk, you're too incapacitated to submit an order for an Uber on your own. Some proposed laws suggest that if you own the vehicle and "dispatch" it (i.e., tell it where to go), you are the legal operator even if you aren't touching a wheel. Under this theory, you could still be charged with a DWI because you made the "executive decision" to put the vehicle in motion while impaired.
Ridiculous :lol:.

If she was smart, she makes it a commercial self driving vehicle like a taxi. If I remember right taxis are exempt from DUI laws regarding carrying drunk drivers.
re: NASA targeting a February 6 launch date for Artemis II
Posted by NYNolaguy1 on 1/15/26 at 8:12 pm to RollTide1987
I mean this is kind of cool and all but to be clear this is a massive gift to the MIC using old technology with the express purpose of corporate welfare. Why are taxpayers blowing $100 billion+ on a rocket that will be used exactly once? Or maybe the right defense contractors just need some money in their pocket?
