Could you elaborate on why Thinkpads that came after the 480 are no good? I'm looking to get a laptop and am probably getting a thinkpad. Is it the easily removable battery?

Do you mean T480?

They've made the first reusable orbital rockets (falcon 9 first stage), and made the practice routine.

They're the first to ever fly a full-flow-staged-combustion rocket engine (raptor), combining high power and high efficiency.

Starship has already broken records (owing to its sheer size), and if it fully pans out it will be the largest rocket ever, and the first fully reusable orbital rocket. Next test flight is probably early next year.

SpaceX are making significant progress in rocket technology.

The perception that their rockets blow up all the time is due to their proximity to Elon Musk, the high amount of publicity their tests receive, & a healthy serving of confirmation bias.

the replies to the post I linked are admittedly not very well sourced. there are better resources. why do you call me Winnie the Pooh?

EDIT: Here's a post with much better resources: https://hexbear.net/post/2361

China is not comitting a genocide. neither is Russia. Eqiuvocating the actions they are taking to the holocaust or even to Israel's actions against Palestinians is really fucked up.

Eventually Netflix will kick me off the family account but there's no way I'm paying for that garbage. I might pay for Hulu as they have a much better selection for my tastes.
