  • The point you felt was worth making a week later

    Again, five days ago. Some people like myself stumble upon a post/comment days and days later from when its initially posted.

    is that I am free to block someone who does something I find kind of annoying?

    Yeah, for some reason people who complain about me using a license seem to keep forgetting that option, but instead just continue to complain, for some strange reason, no matter how many times I remind them of that option. Thought it was a good PSA to remind the complainers they they have alternatives to complaining.

    That seems a little extreme to me.

    If that seems extreme to you, then you need to touch grass more often.

    Extreme would be continuing to complain about something that you have the power to change, but don’t change.

  • Its not great, but not nearly as bad as Challenger SRB O-rings.

    I was speaking more from the managerial and not the engineering point of view, when I made that comment about the vibes. How management politics underplayed problems until a disaster happened

    My point still stands though. If the leak grows large during the trip, and all the helium escapes, then they can’t maneuver the craft, which means they can’t get at the right angle to reenter the atmosphere without burning up.

    And if the shuttle tiles situation tells us anything, they don’t take everything with them up into space, to do on-site emergency repairs.

    Even if they brought extra helium with them, if the leak is widened (launch vibrations, etc.) to a point where the helium escapes too quickly now, before the whole reentry sequence completes, then they’re stuck.

    Just feels like driving a car across the Mojave Desert, with a known tire leak, and hoping the leak doesn’t get any worse. Feels like a ‘roll of the dice’ moment.
