Sadly, haven't really had the opportunity to build as much as I'd like recently. I've basically run out of display space and most of my kits are already put away. Suppose I could put up pictures of what I have out at the moment, though.

If Supes is doing it to stop some dickwad from destroying the Earth, enslaving humanity, or erasing the concept of pizzas, I'll be yelling at him to do it again. Fuck the car, I can walk!
It's apparently not okay when someone you don't like says something you'd otherwise agree with. Can't have complexity like that these days.
If the interesting thing about your character is that they're not human, you don't have an interesting character. Fite me.
Nope. Not until they're going for a Ship catch. It has to come down somewhere and the only places it can safely come down are either the ocean or the catch tower. So until they get the catch hardware to a state where they believe it would work out, every Ship is going to fly a trajectory that ends in the ocean.
Fuck yes. I don't have first-hand experience, but by most accounts, the Battlemage GPUs were a huge improvement over Alchemist. If Celestial follows a similar path without jacking up the price, it could be amazing for the average PC gamer.
How's their driver support on Linux?
Suppose we'll see. Not unusual to have a long gap between the early launches, lots of data to analyze for the first time. Was 8 months between the first and second launch of Ariane 6, for example.
Their first orbital rocket, New Glenn, had its inaugural flight earlier this year. IIRC, it performed rather well in the "launch to orbit" aspect, but they lost the booster as it was coming back to land on a drone ship. It'll take them time to iron out the kinks, but as long as they don't scrap the project, I don't see why it couldn't become a contender in heavy lift.
Whenever the Roci's railgun is fired, it's accompanied by a momentary burn of her main drive to cancel out that impulse.
The basics (getting the OS installed, some initial settings to your liking etc) is quick. Managed to go from "completely untouched build" to "we gaming on Linux now boys" in a couple hours and most of that was waiting for BG3 to download on my 100Mbit connection. Pretty much everything I needed worked right on the first boot. Then again, I didn't have much data to transfer over.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this, but wasn't the original thruster problem, on the second uncrewed flight, that the thrusters were too insulated and couldn't dump enough heat, so they overheated? So for the crewed demo, they removed some of the insulation and the thrusters were dumping heat into adjacent thrusters, once again overheating? Seems like the doghouse is a poor design, at least in Starliner's case.

That, notably, does nothing to solve the issue that your fingernails are gonna get ripped out. It's rather unpleasant, in case you haven't experienced it yourself. And it'll happen way before you manage to cut anything sturdier than paper.
