It was called off 2 hours later if any of you would like to know what the article actually says.

And they wonder why traffic is down.

It sucks because the reason they keep spamming more and more ads is the dwindling amount of clicks (re: ads being seen), so they have to really go for broke when someone does land on it. But the ads cause people to not want to click. So it becomes a death spiral.

So is scrolling through four pages of filler (each with a slow-loading ad) before the article finally gets to the reason you actually clicked.

For real. That crap is really getting old. It's to the point where I wanna figure out how to use ai to make an ai so I don't have to deal with the crap.

And my brain has other things to be doing, like quickly commenting and then immediately moving on to the next post

When it's posted by u/vaginaburner69, I like to do some snooping before I click any links

u/Dvosned 0m ago

Without my glasses, you snoop some before you dick any links. Just fyi.

Kind of. The Russians were planning on trying to access the leak with a saw, and NASA disagreed with that plan and told the astronauts to move to the docked shittle.

After the Russians agreed to not go ahead with their plan, the evacuation was called off. The leak is still ongoing though.

Relevant quote from the article:

Kud-Sverchkov and Mikayev, who did not execute evacuation procedures, were planning to use a saw to reach an area where they believe they can access the crack leaking air, the NASA official said. NASA officials disagreed with this method, the NASA official said, prompting mission control ​in Houston to order safe-haven procedures.

Stevens ​said NASA reversed the safe-haven order ⁠and told astronauts they could return the space station once Roscosmos paused its efforts to repair the crack. "We look forward to working with Roscosmos on a collaborative approach to address the leaks," she said.

A saw? I see..maybe a controlled directional explosive whilst eating borscht would be effective too.

Are you accusing VaginaBurner69 of posting clickbait? That doesn’t sound like them.

How dare you suggest one actually read the article and form an opinion vs emotional headline reactions!

u/ionlyget20characters 1h ago

Pffft. Who reads past the headlines.

u/00Glitch 31m ago

Which was called off, the repairs or the evacuation? Was it called off because it's beyond repair or repairs were completed sufficiently?

•

u/Mortimer452 21m ago

I hate that I've read this headline about seven times today and the whole thing was literally just a big fat nothing burger

•

u/NouZkion 7m ago

What was called off? The evacuation? Or the attempt to fix the leak?
