This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.

The brand Space Transportation, also known as the company Beijing Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has released an animated video which shows how its proposed “space flights” might look

That’s awesome. I hadn’t heard about that. I love silly shit like that! :)

Agreed!

Oooh, good call! It totally does. I bet a Toxic Megacolon show would have a wild and kickass mosh pit.

I’ve always thought “hemoglobin,” “ankylosing spondylitis,” “rectocele,” and “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome” were fun to say. There’s definitely more medical words I like, but I’ve got mad brain fog, so I’m not able to come up with much at the moment. Which is a major bummer!

Yes! This is a big one that bugs me how often people don’t even attempt this. Darn noobs need to lurk moar! It’s basic netiquette.

The consequences will NEVER be the same!

Haha that reminds me of a shirt I had around '08/'09 that just said “Awesomesauce.” I kind of miss the silly stuff like that and the shirts you mentioned. It really does seem like it was a simpler time :) Nowadays life is pwning me left and right!

Hot damn! Where’s my wallet!?

I felt the same way when I tried playing it. I’m so glad I saw your comment - I feel less alone, lol.

Damn. Thank you for sharing this here, Alyaza!

Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

Once again I find myself thinking, “Dammit, Google!”

Thank you very much for the text summary, I really appreciate it :)

You’re my favorite customer!

As the WOATest WOAT, I’ve got the other end on lock! We’re killing it, buddy!

Ha!

Just in case it makes you feel any better: I’m a native English speaker who always aced the reading comprehension tests back in school, and I read it the exact same way. Lol! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. :)

I’m not who you were talking to, but thank you for this comment. You’re so very kind and it’s beautiful. You’ve helped me and I appreciate you so much. You totally rock! 💖

Yikes! Thanks for sharing this, OP.

Lol! That reminds me of how (when AOL was thing and I was probably way too young to be on it but would use it to talk to family) my mom had me type out and send “I bought a bunch of cars and RECTUM!” via email or AIM out of nowhere to random family members with no context, even though I had no idea why that was funny, but she thought it was hilarious. Which is pretty damn funny looking back!
