#Artemis :#NASA's "#SLS #rocket 🚀 is #smaller than the #Saturn V. It is also much more #expensive. Adjusted for #inflation, the cost 💰 of one launch of the Saturn V in the 1960s was around $1.5 billion, which is a far cry from the $4 billion required for just one SLS launch." https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/32011-nasas-powerful-and-contraversial-sls-rocket-ready-to-launch

Hey ecommerce sites that let people sign up for emails. You know, if I sign up, I liked your product a lot. But you really *don't* need to send an email every day. I'm not buying something every single day.

(Well, except LEGO, who honestly does it great - maybe one email a week.)

ST:TNG s20e01: Point of View

The Enterprise is holding station in neutral territory in the vicinity of MOMA-6, mediating a
dispute between two rival civilizations.

The dispute appears to be centered an admittedly beautiful dwarf star, named in both languages after a goddess figure, “Thedress”. Both civilizations have come to devastating blows in disagreement over the dwarf's spectral data, and as a neutral party, we will be dispatching probes to settle the matter once and for all.

👋 Hello #fediverse! I'm going into a meeting at 4ET to talk about our newsroom's social media options.

If you think our station and other NPR stations should have a Mastodon server and a broader presence in the #fediverse, pls boost this post. If you have thoughts, please reply, I want to hear them!

Long shot time! I’m trying to find a way of burning a Flash Boy (Game Boy flash cart) without spending 40 quid on a burner. Foolishly, I ordered one off the internet, assuming it would have a USB port. It doesn’t.

Ideally, this post will somehow find its way to someone near London or Manchester who has a burner and could burn LSDJ to the cart for me. Or, someone in the UK who I could post it to. Boost boost boost let’s see if this’ll work!

A couple of quick thoughts about Twitter.

I still have my account there but the site is now worse than ever.

Partly this is Musk.

And partly it is because many now just use it to criticise others also on there, without saying anything that interesting outside of the platform.

Twitter is dying - though it may take time to die.

I am thereby working on my Mastodon, Substack and LinkedIn social media accounts, as alternatives.

Time for new adventures.

@molly0xfff it’s almost like the whole thing was a scam….. almost
