SpaceX Starship hop test! Less than 5 minutes to test! -- (link) - TWuG Aug 30, 13:11 [youtube] 2

- this is probably common with federal projects, when we left japan, i was a toddler, they were closing the base, they just installed floors for the gym - zeitgeist Aug 30, 12:47 3
  - Closing a base isn’t the same as throwing out perfectly good new equipment for a continuing operation. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 30, 13:01 2
    - they have a schedule to replace things...and then someone schedules a closure, the two collided...but yeah it sure doesn't make a $$ saving move -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 13:11 1
      - Is that postal facility closing? Nothing in the article indicates it is. So your point seems to be missing the mark. -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 13:15

  - Then next year how will keepers work? - spamlet Aug 30, 13:18 9
    - It depends on what happens this season. I'd like for people to keep their core, but we may need to start from scratch. - David Aug 30, 13:31 8
      - To make sure I understand, this draft in now way would impact keepers for next year, right? -- nm - Wakanda Forever Aug 30, 13:38 6
        
        Right, it's a 2020-only ST re-draft league. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 30, 13:41 5

The future of work-from-home? -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 30, 11:40 5
- It would open up jobs that currently aren't available to the disabled. -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 11:42
- That's better...why? -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 11:42 3
  - Telepresence is flexibility. You need a job done at the store? You file an upwork request (for example) and someone gets it done in an hour while you - Beryllium Aug 30, 11:43 2

- Peeled back a bit doesn’t sound like opened. I’d probably use it if it were for myself, but since it is for someone else: Probably a no go. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 11:31
