They might manage to knock gas prices down a few tens of cents in the short term as they "drill baby, drill", but agreed everything else is going to go up, and of course, we get extra screwed in the long term.

Sadly, a few protests now is nothing in comparison if Harris would have won. The Republican party already had preemptive lawsuits to challenge the election results before election day and the results would have been contended for months. There was a high likelihood of a repeat of Jan. 6th 2021 on Jan. 6th 2025 from right wing milita groups.

They've been staples around the PDX airport for the last year or so. There is also Caesar the "no drama llama" who has been around the general Portland area for a number of years.

Always fun to run across.

Forget about Jan. 6th 2021 already? I don't recall any legal authority there and yet it still happened.

Also, we've had bounty programs in the past for populations of people.

Yeah, Ziply has been great in my area. I give them money, they give me decent, reliable service with few strings attached. Really hope this doesn't change.

I like the sentiment, but that is predicated on there being another election under the same rule set which would allow either party to win. If things come to pass with the unitary executive theory outlined in Project 2025 and the dictatorship desires that have already been declared, makes it unlikely votes will work to change political parties going forward...

The U.S. Space Command is reporting it has broken up as of Oct. 19th at 0430UTC. 20 pieces tracked currently.

Sounds like it was all good, so just the dust not being visible on the IR view.

Was expecting a little more debris to be kicked up on touchdown. Wonder if the rockets didn't fire or just the camera angle?

Looks pretty good with all the main chutes successfully deployed.

Bummer, but not terribly surprising.
