Elon Musk has been pitching cheap tunnels from The Boring Company to big names
The entrepreneur says he can tunnel Blue Mountains for $15 million per kilometer.
Elon Musk—CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and The Boring Company—has been pitching his new tunnel-boring capabilities to curious elected officials as well as the director of CERN (the organization that owns and operates the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland).

I'll bet he wants in on that new CERN collider that i read about...

Yeah from the looks of that outline in the plan I seen, it looked like it would go through lots of mountains.

umm... Mountains have nothing to do with it. the entire thing is under ground.

They're talking about building another one that's not as large as the orbit of Jupiter now? (I think that was the quote from the documentary on the current CERN collider. Been a while tho, they've probably learned a few things in the years since that documentary was made.)

Ah, yeah good point. Even better for them then... that's $1.5B!

This massive rocket creates a fireball as it launches, and that’s by design
No, the rocket isn't about to blow up—it's just physics in action.
Developed during the 1990s by Rocketdyne, the expendable RS-68 engine was designed to be less expensive and more powerful than the Space Shuttle's reusable RS-25 main engines. Like the Shuttle's engines, the RS-68 engine runs on a cryogenic fuel mix of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

Cryogenic fuel sounds like it puts the ship into stasis until it gets to its destrination.

yeah I was wondering how that term applies - I guess I need to read the dictionary.

Cryogenic just refers to materials at super low temperatures, nothing specific. It's just "low temperature physics".

Resident Evil 2 remake review: Beautiful, terrifying, and annoying
Classic terror (and fetch quests), remade just enough for a new generation.
Two years ago, Capcom struck surprising gold with its umpteenth Resident Evil video game. 2017's Resident Evil 7 was the spark the aging series needed, particularly after RE5 and RE6 threw out the series' best ideas, and it proved that Capcom still knew how to deliver familiar chills without making things boring.

So it's basically in a supercritical state until it fires? I'm sure they have to be under pressure to achieve liquidity.

This is probably just standard liquified whatever immediately boiling and turning to a gas soon before the engines are ignited. Cryogenics are fun, even tho it's just very cold things.

Correct, it's just storing and fueling the engine with liquid oxygen or similar reducing agent to get necessary flow rates.

Pay for Trump’s border wall with $20 online porn fee, Ariz. lawmaker says
Arizona bill would make online porn viewers pay for border wall with Mexico.
An Arizona state lawmaker has proposed a $20 fee on people who want to view online pornography in order to raise money for building a border wall between Arizona and Mexico.
Arizona House Bill 2444, proposed last week by State Rep. Gail Griffin (R-Hereford), would require makers and distributors of Internet-connected devices to ship such devices with blocking software "that renders a website that displays obscene material inaccessible by default." Under the bill, any Internet user who wants to deactivate the blocking software would have to pay "a onetime deactivation fee of at least $20 to the Arizona Commerce Authority."

The Porn Wall!

Arizona, surrounded by a wall of porn....

That has to be one of the worst ideas I have ever heard.
