The fact that people thousands of years ago managed to figure out that precession is even a thing, let alone calculating it so precisely, hurts my brain.

I really cannot fathom looking at that and assuming it's meant to look like plywood.
Like, you can literally see actual plywood in the damaged part, and they look nothing alike.
This is like seeing a dog and saying it looks like a chicken.

It was a valid dispute.

It is necessary for companies to defend their IP.
But not to the supreme court. And not when it's obvious parody.

Authoritarian cult of personality, sham elections, with an economic system that overwhelming favors the people in power.
It's not a perfect copy, but it's still basically the same.

Yeah don't bother to find out why they exist or whether what they're doing could even be done better with current tech, just go with a knee jerk reaction like an idiot.

Same thing with auto-flushers, or the dipshits who flush with their foot.
People are morons and don't think about things very well.

What's more amazing is how many people either pee on their hands like toddlers, or don't wash their bodies and think touching any other part of themselves is somehow contamination.

Everything outside the bathroom that is just as covered by bacteria as always, because bathrooms are not magically the only place where surfaces are covered in single celled organisms.

SLS is not in town yet.
Falcon Heavy could do the job tomorrow if it came down to it. SLS would get put on the pad, hydrogen would cause another leak, and it wouldn't go anywhere.

JWST is cutting edge technology and doing a mission nothing else does.
SLS was obsolete before it was even built, and is going to do a job other vehicles can already do better.
Absolute BULLSHIT comparison.
