@zleap These posts were jokes, the punchline was that the alleged "background check" was just asking the person if they've ever committed any crimes then ignoring their actual answer and pretending they said "no".

The James Webb Space Telescope is poised to reform several fields of science. For Natalie and Natasha Batalha, it is a family affair. Like her mother, Natasha Batalha will use the telescope’s instruments to probe worlds in other solar systems. https://www.quantamagazine.org/why-nasas-james-webb-space-telescope-matters-so-much-20211203/ https://twitter.com/QuantaMagazine/status/1479472647071227909/photo/1

First stage landing!
The Falcon 9 booster stage has completed its fourth trip to space and back after landing on the drone ship “A Shortfall of Gravitas” north of the Bahamas.
SpaceX also confirmed upper stage engine cutoff and nominal orbit insertion.

Stock is now available on the Libre Tech Shop for liberated computers. You can purchase one on the product page below:

It had been tough to acquire stock for the past few months but I have many units available now.
Can anyone fathom what the down/ up arrows do on this form, or why they are even there. ?

I assume it is for a phone number,
I really get the impression that some HR managers are so thick, they can't hire people to do the job. Who ever did this form should be sacked.

T-minus 2 hours.
Good afternoon from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, where SpaceX’s launch team is counting down to liftoff of a Falcon 9 rocket from pad 39A at 4:49pm EST (2149 GMT) with the company’s next batch of 49 Starlink internet satellites.
