Super bad for current Republicans, but I wonder how this plays out in later elections where they have more time to strategize? Do they move on Abortion? Do they flip from primary to general every cycle? "Dog who caught the car"
It's such a shame there has only been one nuclear passenger ship.
Two of the cars that survived the bombing were still in operation in 2015.
In other graph news, did you know that US millenial wealth is on the same trajectory as Gen X? Or that Gen X are wealthier than Boomers were?
"Policies that kept people indoors, scared them away from hospitals and deprived them of treatment and primary care are finally taking their toll." I guess going to the doctor really does have some upsides. Also, don't read the comments on this one, it's all conspiracy theorists.
Threads
• Thread talking about the advantages of rockets over space elevators. Even if you disregard the massive cost of building a space elevator, once you have one, it's probably not much better than today's rockets. Cost per kilogram to orbit is on track to be comparable with air freight. Skyhooks are still a possible competitor.
• Thread explaining best practices in modern data science. It's good but I'm astounded they left out the importance of using computers.
