…has told Congress to butt out.
It will be interesting to see how they respond. Culberson isn’t there any more. I’m not sure that Shelby will care, as long as the money continues to flow to Huntsville.

Here’s the story from Space News.
With the current track, the Cape is in the bulls eye. If it hits as a Cat 5, it could (finally) take out the VAB, which is only designed for a Cat 3. It might be a sign from God about SLS.

I have to confess to being relieved, for the first time in a decade and a half, to not owning any property in Florida in hurricane season. Before we sold the house earlier this year, we did upgrade the siding, doors, and added a new window for impact, but the new owners will still have to decide if and how to shutter the old windows.
SpaceX’s live feed has started.

A 57-second flight, that ascended, translated, and landed right on the bulls eye. Best water-tower flight ever.

“Why I no longer believe that government healthcare can work.”
After many decades, we need to reintroduce markets to the healthcare industry.
This seems a tad ambitious. But it would be pretty cool.
How to dramatically reduce costs, without “Medicare For All” (which would quickly mean Medicare For None).
One of the infuriating things about the health debate was the false notion that we who don’t want the government to take it over think that the system is fine, or don’t have any ideas how to fix it. The Left just doesn’t like them, and as with climate, it’s not about the policy, it’s about control.
I’m shopping new processor and motherboard, and I’m looking at this. But check out the first question and answers about it.

After a little research, I’ve decided to purchase the 3600, not the 3600X. It’s fifty bucks less, and as far as I can tell, almost no performance difference. Worst case is I might have to spend a little more for a better cooler.
RIP.
And as usual we have to provide a corrective the media morons and other freedom-hating leftists:
A non-leftist has died, so of course the left are acting like the soulless ghouls they are.
