I've now seen 3 completely contradictory definitions of what an astronaut it. 1 by ESA, 1 by the FAA, and 1 by a dictionary. Clearly no one actually knows what an astronaut is exactly, and what the exact minimum requirements are for an astronaut to be called an astronaut. What everyone seem to at least agree on is that part of what makes an astronaut, is in some capacity to visit space.

Did they travel in a spacecraft, and did they recieve the necessary training to do so?
Not all astronauts pilot the spacecraft, and most going to eg. the ISS don't actually do anything while going to the station. That trip is also just an automated flight, controlled by the onboard computer.
It's more akin to, "if that makes them astronauts, then people who have traveled on an airplane, has recieved the training to travel in an airplane."
While I'm disgusted by this whole pr stunt by Katy Petty, an astronaut is literally just a person trained to travel in a spacecraft beyond the earths atmosphere. pr Merriam Webster. So is she an astronaut? Assuming the spacecraft actually left the earths atmosphere, then yes. She can identify herself as an astronaut. Doesn't make her anywhere near as cool an astronaut as the people who work and do research in space, but that's not necessarily part of the definition.
Der vil skulle ske et regimeskift hvis jeg skal til USA alligevel.
I agree that they don't give half a shit about their actual product, but their biggest competitor has never been more competitive, and Nvidia knows it. Pissing off your costumer base when you don't have a monopoly is fucking stupid, and Nvidia and the prebuilt manufacturers knows this. It's business 101.
There's gotta be something else. I know businesses aren't known for making long term plans, because all that will ever matter to them is short term profits. But this is just way too stupid to be because of that.
Yea I don't know why buying a shitty product should convince me to throw more money at the company. They don't have a monopoly, so I would just go to their competitor instead.
I'm european, born in the 90's. I've never in my life seen a check in person... By the 00's everyone either had a credit card or just used cash.
Det var så lidt, jeg håber du kan bruge det :)
Det er en hård og træls kamp, men der er professionelle der er vanvittigt dygtige til at hjælpe en igennem det.
Jeg var nede med stress for nogle år siden. Det kom af en kombination af at have haft dårlige ledere i en periode som havde fjernet al min selvtillid, samtidig med at jeg fik givet mere ansvar end der nogensinde havde været rimeligt.
En dag fik jeg er knæk. Jeg sad efter arbejde i sofaen ved siden af min kone, og kunne ikke andet end bare at sidde og græde.
Dagen efter meldte jeg mig syg på ubestemt tid, tog fat i en privatlæge igennem pension Danmark, og fik en snak 30 minutter senere om hvad jeg oplevede. Han sagde han mente det var stress, og at jeg skulle tage fat i egen læge med det samme, og få det på papiret. Samtidig skulle jeg tage fat i en psykolog, som jeg heldigvis også kunne få med en enkelt dags varsel igennem pensionen.
Derefter havde jeg en lang og træls periode med læge og jobcenter der insisterede på at jeg sagtens kunne arbejde på fuldtid, imens min psykolog insisterede på at jeg skulle holde mig syg.
Til sidst kom der et punkt hvor hverken jeg eller psykologen mente vi rigtigt havde mere at snakke om, og blev enige om at jeg kunne tage kontakt igen hvis det blev nødvendigt, men at forløbet var afsluttet, og jeg stadig skulle holde mig sygemeldt da hun ikke mente jeg var klar endnu, men stadig skulle arbejde med nogle af tingene inde i hovedet. Det resulterede i at jobcenteret tog mine sygedagpenge fra mig, da jeg ikke var i aktiv behandling, og de derfor mente at jeg var fuldstændig rask.
3 uger senere startede jeg på ny uddannelse. For mig var det det helt rigtige, fordi jeg dermed fjernede mig selv fra det miljø der gjorde mig syg. Men hvad jeg lærte af det hele er aldrig nogensinde at være ærlig overfor jobcenteret, og stå mere fast i hvad jeg har behov for.
Dude was a carpenter. He clearly just loved making torture instruments, and made a miniature of his favourite one.
And once again they move the goalpost and there's absolutely fuck all we're going to be able to do about it. 2 weeks ago we were angry that people were kidnapped and sent to a deathcamp. 1,5 weeks ago we were angry that people didn't even get a trial. 1 week ago we were angry that someone wasn't "supposed" to be sent to the death camp. Now we're angry that they say this man was a gangmember without evidence.
The discussion has moved from "sending people to death camps is fucking insane", to "it's okay to send people to death camps, as long as they're gang members".
This post is a big part of that goalpost moving.
Don't let them shift the narative. Yes, everything that is happening is wrong, but focusing on them lying about him being a gang member, shifts the narative to a point where it's okay to send people to foreign death camps, as long as they've done something the state deems criminal (in this case, being a gang member).
