thelerner Posted August 30, 2021 Thought I'd make a thread for people to record unexpected consequences of things going on in the world. NASA is delaying the launch of some satellites* because of Covid. Oxygen is in such high demand (due to Covid) that they don't want to take so much O2 off the market. **At a space conference last week, SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell said, “We certainly are going to make sure the hospitals are going to have the oxygen that they need” for Covid patients. But if anyone has some liquid oxygen lying around their basement, “Send me an email." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manitou Posted September 1, 2021 Unexpected consequence of the Taliban being able to contain their anger at the Americans as they assist them in leaving the country. Surprising maturity for the Taliban as so many of them are so young. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
