#Clarke's three laws

β€’ When a distinguished but elderly #scientist πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬ states that something is #possible, they are almost certainly right. When they state that something is #impossible, they are very probably #wrong.
β€’ The only way of discovering the #limits of the #possible is to venture a little way past them into the #impossible.
β€’ Any sufficiently #advanced #technology is indistinguishable from #magic.

@spacelizard the article mainly says the fines are too low, but there isn't a comparison with other cases of car makers ?

@edwinhorneij most likely, I assume. Checked with my app (I seldom use it), looks like this. But it's probably not comparable with yours open-store.io/app/nl.btr.masto

@spacelizard very simple : as she apparently deleted her comment (instead of explaining what the link should lead to). On the other hand, you can't credibly claim something without mentioning the source (which applies to your case)

@spacelizard any example for the "abundant evident " ? πŸ€”

The delay ⏳ of the #European πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί launchers and the technical problems are only the tip of the iceberg. For every euro πŸ’Ά invested, #SpaceX is ten times more efficient, and the only way to increase #efficiency is to introduce #competition lemonde.fr/en/opinion/article/

@Raccoon "the company has broken records and brought electric vehicles into the mainstream" forbes.com/sites/qai/2022/09/2. Regarding SpaceX : You may probably explain why Boeing, Blue Origin and others lag behind ? πŸ€”πŸ™„ And who founded it ? businessinsider.com/spacex-loc

@tony I didn't get your point techhub.social/about. I don't need to reply to SpaceX news, it's like an RSS feed @nicdex

@edwinhorneij no worries, what was your intention ? (the vote is anyway just to say "it's completely dorky to weigh anything just on Elon"). The whole page is thought to make people think πŸ€”. Seems to be worth it in your case πŸ˜€

@emma you mean it's somewhere written in the internet, so it's true ?

@SallyStrange well there are about a dozen "old milk" things I really appreciate, they are called "cheese". And it would be interesting to see a statistic how Elon's private flights outhweigh his influence on electric vehicles. Please share πŸ”—

There seems to be no problem with the professionals astrodon.social, check @spacex@bird.makeup (on their server)

Should I switch the server as my admin is blocking @spacex@bird.makeup (the whole server) ?
