    Some negative comment around this in the industry. If FH goes bang close to historic pad 39A it could severely compromise the schedule for testing crewed Dragon flights to ISS. The car stunt wouldn't look that good then.

    They almost certainly expect it to blow up (and by christ yessir, it's going to be an almighty explosion!). They will of course try their hardest to make it work, but as they've demonstrated with their numerous failures before getting it right with the drone barge landings, they're not afraid of failing, and well, blowing itself to smithereens demonstrates that they're they are breaking new ground

  2. Woody subscribes to a certain school of business - if you're bullheaded enough and just ignore everything, eventually you'll get your way. It can be a very effective policy, as it forces other people that want to deal with you to conform to your terms - or completely ineffective as they just don't deal with you. (Forum equivalent of trying to talk sense into him, rather than just ignoring him) 

    Another analogy would be that it is safer to put the tard in their own room rather than leave it with the knives.

  3. They don't take local tours as such. The cruise ship organises tours, and the people pay the cruise company £50 quid for coach trip to Ramsey and back. 

    We do not need to spend a penny more than what we have now. Cruise ships can use tenders - as they do now, and as they do across the world.

  4. "You're missing out the massive privatised space market by not having our own Spaceport and rocket launching sites. It'll cost <insert figure> and you must have it to attract private launches. SpaceX. Elon Musk. Tesla. Imagine yourselves driving around on an island where all the roads were smart roads paved by Elon Musk himself. Hyperloop." says the con artist

    Government Idiot: "You're right, we must spunk millions on consultancies. Do you happen to know any?" 

    "Why it just so happens I do..." smiles the con artist "It just so happens I do"

  5. Honestly it's worse than the UN. "IT'S THE NUCLEAR OPTION" "oh?" "YEAH, TOTALLY NUCLEAR" 

    So the nuclear option is passing a resolution to prepare a formal request that the Council activates a preventative mechanism provided for in article 7.1. If they refuse after all this, then they MIGHT suspend their voting rights in the Council (Which affects fuck all, there's just not votes where Poland's votes could swing it, and it'd just push Poland more towards leaving the EU, and joining Britain in "EU2 - Reichbusting Boogaloo") 

    I think people need reminding what a nuclear option actually is...

    If you relied entirely on the mainstream media for your information about Trump's successes, you'd think he hadn't done anything. But I actually do my own research. Even though Trump is demonised daily and can do no good (even if he invented a cure to cancer they'd moan), behind the scenes he's accomplished an amazing amount for the United States, especially for the economy. You can call me a nut all you want, but the fact is you're an idiot.

    "Thousands of medical professionals out of work!" "Hospital wards shut all over the country!" - Yeah, I could imagine that
