isn’t funny

they deserve to die

yeah but their customers sure fucking don’t deserve it.

and this friends is why my vet bills are killing me.

fffffffffffffuuuuuuuu

Chill, buddy.

pfft ok kiddo

NASA has been flying batteries on manned missions for decades.

yeah how many lion batteries in cell phones have gone up. Feel free to use your fingers and toes to count if it helps lol.

numpty.

If your all-caps nonsense were a real problem, then NASA could just use something other than lithium ion like NiCad.

you ever swapped the li-on i a cell phone for something else? no. phones are tailored to the battery chemistry they’re designed for. also, ever done it in a hasty rush to meet a launch schedule?

do you expect the battery monitoring system to suddenly work with a new battery chemistry?

goddamn bro, try harder ffs

today’s NASA couldn’t frankenstein a functioning SLS from the old parts of the entire shuttle series so far.

also, do you really think the concern is recharging the batteries? or replacing them with certified batteries? pfft. the concern is li-ons bloating then catching fire in a high oxygen env, and having NO WHERE TO PUT THE SMOULDERING SHITPILE.

swapping them before launch isn’t going to happen in a month, they’ll simply fly with the risk.

stupid risks that shouldn’t be necessary.

my larger point of nassa has absolutely transported batteries before

not mass produced shitphone li-on batteries.

I’m hoping for no tragedies, you’re assuring me everything’s gonna be fine as they fly around the moon on the biggest boondoggle of a spacecraft ever planned, with their fucking camera phones lol.

NASA, not nassa, doesn’t have a stellar record regarding this stuff so yo do you sparky. And don’t bother replying, gonna block you.

this is a stupid conversation.

I’m certain NASA already has batteries in station.

I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

this isn’t the ISS, so no station involved. does artemis have an airlock?

I really hope they have an airlock thing they can toss the phones out of if their batteries swell. untested hardware + known issues with batteries diverting terrestrial flights https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2025/07/08/fire-delta-emergency-landing-lithium-battery/

in an oxygen rich env?

:|

this whole mission is a litany of “it’ll be fiiiiine just launch it so we can keep some semblance of a schedule.”

I went through this process in 2012-2016 - took out the gas dryer, gas stove and replaced them with electric. Mostly because my wife’s family has a history of asthma and the data for gas appliances and asthma is disconcerting to say the least. Especially for kids.

Good luck with your eventual transition!

that does seem like a better method of working through the "I JUST DON’T FUCKING KNOW YET"s

I love working on the edge of exploration, but also recognize it’s going to be a lot of dipping the toes in and seeing what the water is like before I can reliably predict these things. I’m fortunate that no one on my team does what I do, so, sometimes they just accept “will report back next week with an estimate based on actual research”.

also not getting ambushed with large hypotheticals beyond our actual tool chain support help but <shrug>

a true team player. prob mvp too.

story point numbers

how many different ways can I say “I simply don’t know yet?”

well give us a guess

could be one point… could be 50? I DON’T KNOW

well yeah but give it a guess anyway

fucking microsoft too. they’re enshittifying things so much because they can charge you rent to compute instead

ah yes the TempleOS zealots are prostyltizing again

the NRA used to be a non profit focused on teaching gun safety and marksmanship.

then came the 80s.

soylent mignon is made out of rocks!

wait until they can feed you paste but make you think it tastes good.

lolol… it’s so like real life… one side is actually helping people, imperfectly if so… the other is dedicated to evil and doesn’t hide it. and people can’t tell the difference fml

the jedi are just as bad
