Bring back the 70's house.




Bring back generation X.


Surprised someone super high strung got picked for the 1st test of the SpaceX EVA suit. She must have been the most stressed character in the Coundown series. Dragon II is so easy to fly, a stressball would have no problem on a tried & true mission, but EVA's are a big deal. Suspect all 4 of them are going outside the capsule & none of it is going to be televised, based on how Inspiration IV was handled. If someone freaks out, they're not going to risk a PR disaster by showing it.


Suspect Polaris is going to have a lot in common with Inspiration 4. Being Isaaaac Guy's fair & equitable style, all 4 of them are going to take turns going outside the capsule. Someone will stay in the capsule in case they become untethered. Maybe 2 at a time will go outside while 1 mans the thrusters & 1 stands near the hatch ready to pull them in.
The internet has speculated they would dock with an airlock in the trunk, but that would lower the maximum altitude. Reaching higher altitude would require depressurizing the capsule.

The media is definitely going to be blacked out like Inspiration 4. They're going to raise money with another Netflix series, 99% of which covers preparations on the ground. They're not going to show any live EVA's, in case anyone freaks out. We might see a few seconds of each EVA in a low resolution tweet long after it happens. Of course, there won't be any 360 cams.





The models who were on photo.net 20 years ago are now on the gootubes or onlyfans. They definitely get paid more but aren't photographed as well.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
