Yes, very joyous. I didn't realize raucous had overall negative connotations. Perhaps rowdy better describes the concept I was thinking of.

Someone has never seen a herd of cows get let out to pasture for the first time of the spring. It is a raucus event.

The tobacco companies also complain about negative talk and regulation.

I would imagine that you would segment the lifting bodies so that a leak or rupture in one or even a couple wouldn't bring the whole thing crashing down. Ships don't sink from a couple leaks here and there. You would also monitor buoyancy. The tether site needs to have some sort of reel in capability for servicing.

All of your concerns seem to be addressable through proper engineering considerations.

Johnson and Thune deserve a very large portion of the blame for everything that is happening.

They bothered to make a post about it, so surely they could in fact care less.

I recently got a makita yard tool that has a dedicated spot to hold an allen key in the handle. It's a nice touch that shows the designers actually talk with people who use the tool.

This video continues about 4 min after the murder.

There is some gore so be aware that it is unpleasant to watch.

Aren't golf courses incredibly polluted with persistent use of pesticides that should probably be illegal? Maybe development would be better than trying to grow food in toxic soil?

I think of votes as adding or decreasing visibility. Which is a little different than "I like this." An upvote means you think other people should see a post/comment.

So unsavory but important things still deserve an upvote imo. That doesn't mean you like the thing being discussed.
