If you had bothered to read the link, he was talking about voting in Georgia, and the GA democratic party and other groups suggesting their were issues in both 2017 election, and more importantly the house special election held in 2018...nowhere did the article mention or talk about your spank fodder.

That does nothing to fix our antiquated voting machines.

Problem is, whatever party is in power used the flawed system to get elected, therefore there's no impetus to correct the flaws.

This doesn't sound like he is just talking about Georgia.

I think multiple studies have been shown that people that spend a large majority of their time on their computer have a higher probability of social anxiety and depression.

Question is which causes which.

Somehow this seems very relevant when discussing politics today

http://uproxx.com/webculture/people-who-bought-boxes-of-sht-from-cards-against-humanity-were-actually-surprised-to-receive-sht/

...makers of the popular party game Cards Against Humanity removed all of their products from their online store on the day after Thanksgiving — instead offering only a box of what they said was actual “bullsh*t” for $6. Despite the fact that it was made quite clear that customers were literally just buying sh*t — Cards Against Humanity founder Max Temkin tweeted “if you buy the poop expecting it to be something else that’s not poop, you’re actually buying a valuable life lesson for $6” — the boxes of sh*t sold out by day’s end. All 30,000 of them, grossing Cards Against Humanity $180,000.

And now as the boxes of poop have come rolling in over the past week, people are somehow still surprised that their packages actually just contain sh*t, as promised.

Either them, SpaceX  or a combination of the two. That should be interesting to watch. Customers like USAF don't like surprises when it comes to space launches. They pay a rather extreme premium to prevent that sort of thing.

It is almost certainly NGC and not SpaceX since the payload adapter was designed and mated to the satellite by NGC but, yeah, they are being dragged in.

That's a huge assumption before an investigation even begins. Especially with everything being so hush hush to the public. What if NGC built the adapter to the specs required by SpaceX and it still failed? To make any kind of conclusion is extremely premature and inherently dubious.

Since SpaceX has already released a statement saying everything was nominal and they are continuing on with their manifest it is pretty safe to say they are not at fault.  Otherwise they would be required to ground their fleet until an investigation is completed.

That's an...unique perspective given corporate honesty being what it is. I'm sure they didn't find anything wrong before anybody has tried to figure out what went wrong. And that's assuming anything did go wrong. There is still a non-trivial chance that everything went successfully and this is the US Military being all sneaky like.

Didn't Spacex lose another satellite when their rocket blew up on the launch pad during pre launch tests?  If I remember right, SpaceX said initially it wasn't their fault then too, and even went so far as to blame it on sabotage by a competitor.

Fleeing jurisdiction you'd think would in a perfect world nullify such statues even if they don't initiate a trial in the defendants absence.

Well, he is still on the hook for the rape he was convicted of.  It's these other sex acts he did that he wasn't charged with that are no longer prosecutable.  

But the good news is, he's still a member in good standing with the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

SpaceX didn't blame a competitor, the media did.

@Thomas the statement would be one thing, but the fact that they are continuing on with their manifest says there wasn't anything wrong with the rocket.  They and their customers would not risk losing the payload if there was a suspected problem.

It isn't that simple. If the customers got cold feet they would risk having their payload being delayed by multiple years and being on the hook for breaking the contract. If there was obvious issues than sure they would proceed cautiously. If there isn't anything obvious though they may keep going forward until having reason to change course. Also there may be something specific that that went wrong on the last miss that may end up being their fault that wouldn't be applicable going forward. Any time there are multiple departments interacting, let alone companies, there introduces chance for failure by either or both sides.
