The agony of woke1/trump1 is that the potential danger of Trump was enormous and a lot of people treated it like it was the perfect excuse to advance their immediate personal interests at the expense of broader cohesion

Don't like the idea of having to take the shuttle apart for transport but it was Obama and Schumer that decided to flip Texas the bird when they housed the shuttles.

Once that Starship is captured and SpaceX engineers examine it, Space Center Houston would seem to be the perfect place to display it.

I find standard USB-C PD charging on the Samsungs to be... really good, though. This seems to describe a completely different universe than the one I live in.
Why do some phones use these weird fast-charging USB cables?

If Texas decides it doesn't want to schedule difficult games that's no worse than scheduling them but not wanting it to count (or only wanting it to count if they win).
Next time beat 3-8 Florida.
