@CJHandmer Any thoughts on Curiosity’s wheels? Asking because I loved your SLS posts and I feel like NASA is annoyingly sacrosanct, but imo using 0.75mm thick wheels (x6, 1.3% of weight) on a 900kg rover is asinine and exemplifies farcical government non-incentive aligned design

The extremely rare criticism online is met with “you know more than NASA?” or “they’d have to sacrifice instruments to strengthen wheels” but this reads as bs. .75mm aluminum wheels can be engineered & simulated to death but don’t pass the common sense test.

Most food is not commodity though, & there is a delta of prices that a huge chain can purchase at/sell for compared to a 1-off store. The size of that delta determines whether these stores can stay afloat/the extent of their subsidy, & how palatable that’ll be to taxpayers.

Unsure of laws around food pricing, but if execs at large food companies have a modicum of caution/foresight, they should consider raising prices further (with “you have low purchasing power/economies of scale”) for the socialist store to nip this “spectacle” in the bud.

@nikitabier Search (esp. search for _ from ppl I follow) broken >1 month. Any fix near? Top 5 feature. When searching, I don’t care what the deranged simple minded general pop. is saying, I want to see what the ppl who I follow (proven thoughtful/good/analytical/etc) are saying.
