I'd assume sentenced to Life Without Parole.

I see potential in this one

Deport Jésus (Christ)!

Definitely 1, the black hair and lighter less saturated foundation work better with the contrasting eyes. It looks more natural. 2 is also really good but I think would look better with darker hair, maybe that purple as a subtle underlayer of highlights. 2 would also would look better with black lipstick or maybe both colors, and less highlight. It's very subjective though, I just prefer a more natural look.

Wire ties. Literally just zip ties. Keeps them easy to get to but looks cool as fuck if you bundle them like a wiring harness.

We have the full genome...

Oh, fair. Didn't know that, just knew for transfem a higher estrogen level than cis can be normal (especially monotherapy).

Definitely transmasc lol.

It's probably stood up for the picture, considering it's not much use photographing the lack of a visible bike on black and white film...

Except that the original post from TikTok or insta (can't tell which was first) wasn't even censored, and some dumbass on reddit added the crayon scribbles.

Agreed. Fourscore and twelve just works (English used to use this, at least in formal speech and writing).

Actual Space Systems Engineer here (and not for SpaceX): Yes. One of the more recent ones had a communications failure, and self-destructed to make sure it had very little chance at causing the damage the above people have their arses in a knot over. It's rapid prototyping. Why?

NASA projects run overbudget and over deadline because they're trying to get it perfect in the first few launches. That's only part of the problem, but it's a significant part. Look at Artemis: 1) launch, 2) launch to the moon, 3) launch to the moon for a long duration stay with humans. That takes so much time and money and simulation and testing of everything that even a government has trouble. So what do they do? They adapt, extend deadlines, increase funding, etc.

Private industries don't have that luxury. If SpaceX decided to run Starship 500x overbudget to get it right in the first few attempts, they'd be bankrupt. How do you remedy this?

Give it your best guess, strap a bunch of sensors to it, watch it (probably) explode (which really is any failure, as it's required to explode for safety if it can't land), use that data to improve the design, and then try again a few hundred times until it doesn't explode anymore.

And in the end, it's cheaper than spending years predicting every mode of failure and preventing them like NASA does. It's a different mode of operation, because industry and government have different resources and norms down to the way the project is structured from a leadership point-of-view.

And that's why commercial rockets are supposed to explode.

(All this said, Fuck Muskrat)

Isn't a machine drinking oil the equivalent of a human pouring a glass of blood? Are all oleovorous robots vampires?
