  • As someone who does it professionally. There is a very real risk being that close. We have shells that go up and don’t explode, we have hang fires where it doesn’t launch when it’s supposed to and then does when the smoldering paper finally touches the lift, and we have some that don’t reach apogee and explode at the wrong height.

    It’s a thrill, I know. I love watching them launch and being that close. But it comes with some dangers.



  • I currently am. We’re 3 years in to the relationship and her and her daughter have moved in.

    We’re planning on getting married.

    We didn’t plan this, we were friends before she got married but despite going on a date, neither of us caught the flirting of the other. She got deployed and then got married and had a child. We started talking again when she was going through her divorce and I was planning to move out of state. Neither of us wanted anything serious. She wanted to go through a bit of a slutty phase and just have fun, so we just started hooking up. And then we caught feelings for each other.

    Every single day, I reflect just a bit and am amazed how happy they make me. There has never been anything that has made me smile so much as how much I love her and love being her step dad.








  • I know of those mirrors and surprise, I have driven in adverse conditions.

    I’m not saying there aren’t better ways. But cameras in their current implementation isn’t the answer.

    There becomes a point where there is too much in front of a driver. I also believe the frequent “feedback” from driving assists causes me, at least, to take my eyes off the road to figure out what it’s beeping at me for and it’s usually because the system doesn’t recognize a bend in the road or the car in front of me is turning.

    Mirrors just work. No electricity, no lenses to get covered and blocked.

    Cameras are good for the places mirrors can’t see, but otherwise it’s more shoving electronics in places were it’s not needed driving up cost, complexity, and decreasing repairability.

    I like function over form for safety items. Simple, reliable, and imo there is beauty in something clearly being designed for a purpose.
