Not particularly unsafe. I've had to pull off during road trips either for food or emergency car maintenance in rural Louisiana and in Alabama. The Louisiana pit stop at a small garage in the middle of nowhere didn't make me feel unsafe, but the guys in the shop were unironically talking about how you could turn your Bluetooth on in order to see who around you has been vaccinated because their MAC address would show up.

In Alabama a ton of people were staring at me... I was like... Do I have something on my face? Oh, you just think it's weird that a Latino guy is in your small family restaurant for breakfast?

In South Carolina there were a bunch of dudes toting confederate flags, which was unsettling, but they didn't threaten me or anything.

I unfortunately live in a red state now to be close to family for a few years. I can't wait till I can move back to the PNW or Colorado to be closer to one of my brothers.

Have you tried downloading the AUR? Oh, it's not available in the AUR? What about the flat pack? The package name changed, but it's not available there either. It's an app image, but to get it to work you're going to need to switch your Nvidia drivers to DKMS. OK... So that didn't work, have you tried reinstalling dracut and ffmpeg?

That... Doesn't seem good if I'm being totally honest

I'm honestly surprised that more people don't come up with a weekday menu over the weekend. It can be simple, like you mentioned buns plus whatever. Simple meat, grain, veg is easy (frozen fish or fried tofu, rice/quinoa, and some broccoli or Brussels).

When all else fails... Breakfast tacos for dinner will do. Prefer egg and sausage, but I'll settle for egg and avocado with some hot sauce.

Title: SpaceX Has Finally Figured Out Why Starship Exploded, And The Reason Is Utterly Embarrassing

  • SpaceX's Starship experienced a catastrophic explosion during its seventh launch attempt, resulting from a failure in the fuel line due to vibrations.
  • The explosion occurred over the Turks and Caicos islands, leading to debris scattering over the area.
  • The fuel leak ignited two minutes after the upper stage's engines were ignited, overwhelming the rocket's venting capacity and compromising the engines.
  • A loss of communication with ground control occurred as the engines shut down, leading to the rocket's self-destruction sequence.
  • The incident highlights significant operational failures, as engine shutdowns should not cause communication loss, indicating a lack of redundancy in systems.
  • SpaceX's pre-flight checks failed to identify potential leaks, suggesting inadequate safety measures or poor execution of checks.
  • In contrast, NASA's Saturn V rocket had a flawless launch record over its operational lifespan, showcasing superior reliability compared to Starship.
  • Starship's design has been criticized for overestimating engine thrust capabilities, limiting its payload capacity to 40-50 tons, which is less than the Saturn V.
  • The cost per kilogram to launch with Starship is comparable to that of the Saturn V, undermining its intended economic advantages.
  • The overall failure of Starship raises concerns about the efficiency and safety of SpaceX's approach to space exploration, contrasting sharply with historical successes in the field.
