Oh, thanks! That makes sense now.

Thanks, good to know!

Huh, so what does she mean by ‘Tuesday’s “General Hospital”’? Is the apostrophe a possessive or a contraction?

Thanks for sharing. That helps puts the comic in perspective.

I didn’t know the word “Matinee” so I would always misread it as “Manatee”

Same! I’m somehow pleasantly surprised that someone else had the identical experience!

Starbase activities (2024-12-12):

• Dec 11th cryo delivery tally.

• Road delays are posted for Dec 12th and 13th (07:00 to 10:00) for tank installation. The associated document appears to be a duplicate of the Dec 11th document, but other sections of the website indicate the existence of the closures.
• Mid-morning, the methane tank is lifted into position. (ViX, RogerS, Golden)
• After the lift, the yellow LR11000 crane rolls a short distance. (ViX)
• Build site: Two ring sections move from Starfactory to the scrap yard. (ViX)
• The first piece the Pad B water-cooled flame-deflector pipe is spotted at Sanchez. (Starship Gazer)
• Massey’s: Venting is observed. S33 flaps are opened. (ViX 1, ViX 2, Starship Gazer 1, Starship Gazer 2, Starship Gazer 3)

• SpaceX requests special election to make Starbase newest Cameron County city

KSC:

• Potential info on Roberts Road northern expansion from a meeting agenda from Space Florida. (Stranger 1, Stranger 2)

Twice I’ve gotten over 100, but then accidentally “marked all as read”. Apologies to the 200 people I was maybe going to reply to one day…

is self-sustained by now

With 600 monthly users I can sit back, play some games myself and watch the community thrive.

Well done! That’s definitely a nice feeling!

What is “general hospital”? Some sort of password?

Not sure I get this one.

Going rate seems to be ~200 USD. If you don’t care about the box and the leaflet, you might be able to get just the parts for cheaper. Pretty sure you can download the instructions from Lego for free.

Yeah, the first three panels are quite dark. The contrasting absurdity of the final panel does soften it a bit.

Chonky? I’d say it’s more of a tall boi than a chonky boi, especially compared to the Vulcan, New Glenn, or even normal Falcon fairings.

Who would your pick be for NASA admin?

Truly !murica@lemmy.world material.

Is that a subway station? Or a subway line? My brain recognizes it as vaguely train related…
