Putting it out there again in case someone saw OneYieldRegular do a post mentioning vacation or something. It's been 7 days since painting of the day was posted.
I mean it's not the first time SpaceX has caused collateral damage. Only a matter of time till Apartheid Clyde's corporate culture kills someone due to SpaceX.
I was at a science fiction convention this weekend. On Saturday night, I attended a bourbon-tasting room party. There was a young man there, 25, best described as angry.
He said, "When Elon Musk goes to Mars, I want to win the lottery to fire the RPG at the launching spaceship."
Ta, Andrew. It was absolutely gorgeous in the Catskills this weekend, and before we left the woods behind, we saw a big bald eagle in a tree branch. I was excited, because this is the first one I've seen east of the Mississippi River.
Almost on topic, when we got back to Manhattan, we saw our first Cybertruck in the wild. It's even more ridiculous in person than onscreen, and I peeked to see what flavor of douchebro was driving. It was a douchesis, not a douchebro, but there was a douchebro in the passenger seat.
I started reading this, saw the early reference to Ukraine, and thought "Lots of Ukrainians for him to hit in Saskatchewan..." only to see that yep, the farmer's name is Sawchuk. You can't make this shit up.
You NthHemispherers have been dropping space debris on us since 1979. We didn't even get a 'sorry'. But..... ooooooohhhhh..... Canada? Getting a bit too close all of a sudden? Better start putting tactical armour on top of your cars then.
During the whole Skylab thing, a friend of my sister's painted a target on the hood of her junker car with the words, "Skylab land here". But that was only because there was a reward for recovering that space junk. BTW, when the parking lot that is now the space junk belt above the Earth finally starts dropping more shit on us, we'll know to blame Elon.
I just flashed on the opening of Wall-E. Pixar got it wrong. We're not going to be destroyed by evil corporations bent on pulling every penny from our pockets. We're going to be destroyed by a stupid asshole with too much money.
They mentioned the Peekskill meteorite hitting a car and made some joke about the repair bill. But in fact that teenager who had bought the 10 year old Chevy Malibu car from her granny (complete with a little rust and needing a paint job)) sold that unrepaired car and the 27 lb rock for $69,000 ... a really good price back in 1994. The car has a web page.
thanks for posting this! in the article, it attempts to link to a picture of the bruise which was in life magazine. instead, it links to google books which has the entire life magazine from 12/13/54. and what a grand time waster it is! love this kind of stuff cuz I was born in May of 54. imagine! ad for a carton of cigarettes as a Christmas gift. eta: finally see the bruise. that mother is huge!
Ituna? Has Confuse-A-Cat Ltd. been sighted in or near Saskatchewan recently? Is this some murky reference to iDeath, which place figured prominently in Richard Brautigan's "In Watermelon Sugar?
If a piece of space junk hit my land, I would be suing the fuck out of people/companies responsible (things like the Challenger disaster excepted, probably? - though that was a human error as well).
If your stuff is designed to burn upon reentry and does NOT, then that is a design flaw for which you should be held accountable. I have to imagine that in the event of property damage, this is not "an act of God" and that my homeowner's insurance would go after whomever was responsible.
Yeah, but then some day you’ll be in an emergency in space and ground control will tell you there’s a *chance* your lander won’t burn up in the earth’s atmosphere and when you make it down you’ll be so grateful.
Sounds like a decent PTSD lawsuit. Being afraid in your own home about space junk killing you while you sleep. Demand at least enough for a space junk proof concrete shelter over your house and garage, and a M1 Abrams tank to drive around in.
No, according to The Outer Space Treaty its never considered abandoned or lost but remains the property of the launching nation (The US). The US would delegate clean-up and payment of any damages to SpaceX. Because SpaceX operates under the authority of NASA SpaceX can't play the same kinds of games the Tesla and Xitter does.
Have any cats been harmed due to any one of many Elon Musk flights of fanc?
there is no way to know, so it's safe to assume yes. yet another proof musk is an asshole.

Yourself and megaloppolis just fancy free and enjoying life in the Catskills make me be both jealous and happy fo r the both of ya.

Wonderful Ukrainian community in Saskatchewan. This thought occurred to me as well.

"Why not both?"
OK, let's see....
1 in 100 billion odds of being hit by space debris, 8 billion people of the planet.....
Once in a lifetime opportunity. To do the American thing, sue:

Upfist for the Brautigan reference. Have never done LSD, but reading Brautigan, I could see it might be helpful. :)
Mildly curious.
But why did Musk rename Twitter "Ten"?
And then, what's with SpaceTen?
And the new Tesla Model Ten?
And what about Trump -- he's a Twelve out of Ten?
Again, I'm only mildly curious.
He's an unimaginative idiot who thinks he is edgy.

Not for nothing, but Barry Sawchuck is an excellent name. And he's a Sawchuck from Saskatchewan! THIS RULES. NO ONE DENIES THIS.
How many saws could a Sawchuck chuck, if a Sawchuck could chuck saws?
I think the answer is Regina.
Terry Sawchuk would approve of the goal to help build a rink
By law it belongs to SpaceX and they will retrieve it.
Depends if it counts as flotsam or jetsam.

They'll probably sue the farmer
Elon could buy Monsanto and make it a two-fer.
I was sick of hearing about Hunter Biden's giant schlong, and now we have to hear about Elon Musk's junk? Send the photo to MTG.
