Even flashlights have recoil. Not that Han would feel it.

My mom struggled with lung cancer for two terrible years with cutting edge treatment, and died badly. My dad cared for her through that, and when his turn came five years later, he had no doubts. He refused all but palliative care and died in two months. What he saw once, a physician will see over and over ad nauseam. Having seen one of each, I'm not conflicted over which path I'd take.

Elon appears to be building a large ground-locked monument to demonstrate his argument in this tweet:

  Unlike its aircraft division, which is fine, the FAA space division has a fundamentally broken regulatory structure. 

  Their rules are meant for a handful of expendable launches per year from a few government facilities. Under those rules, humanity will never get to Mars. -- https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1354862567680847876

The single most important job humanity has is to get our eggs into more than one basket. The FAA is standing athwart the most effective effort to move in that direction, yelling Stop. The more fragile our environment is, the more protection it needs, the more important it is for them to get out of the way of projects like this.

I have the Anova and it's a pain due to very flaky bluetooth support. As in, I have umpteen working bluetooth gadgets in the house that all work, but I couldn't get the Anova to work after two replacements.

If I didn't pay so much extra for the bluetooth it wouldn't bother me, since it works fine without it. But I prefer the Instant Pot sous vide, my daily driver, which doesn't attempt bluetooth.

That's ridiculous, if they had an AI that could accurately predict prices, they would quickly become one of the largest, most powerful corporations in the world.

Uh, wait ...
