Some statistics about all robotic #LunarLanding attempts so far from 1965 to 2025 compiled from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_the_Moon and https://scicomm.xyz/@AkaSci@fosstodon.org/114636519291241321 in which I only count those for which descent to the surface had been initiated, not missions lost at launch or on the way - in a nutshell ~70% of all landings by government agencies went well (essentially the same rate 60 years ago and now!) but only ~30% by private companies. Here goes ...
There have been two separate periods of soft lunar landing attempts of ca. a dozen years each, from 1965 to 1976 and 2013 to 2025 (ongoing) with a huge gap between them.
In the first interval there were 20 attempts with 13 successes (Luna 9, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 24 and Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7), one partial success (Luna 23, counting as 50%) and 6 failures (Luna 5, 7, 8, 15 and 18 and Surveyor 4), so the success rate was 13.5/20 = 68 %. All missions were by - the Soviet and U.S. - governments.
In the second interval there were so far 14 attempts with 6 full successes (Chang'e-3, 4, 5 and 6, Vikram 2 and Blue Ghost), three partial successes (SLIM, IM-1 and 2, counting as 75%, 50% and 25%, respectively) and 5 failures (Beresheet, Vikram 1, Hakuto-R 1 and 2 and Luna 25) so the success rate was 7.5 / 14 = 54%.
But looking only at the government missions it was 72%, slighly up from 50 years ago. While for the commercial attempts it was only 29%. In total the success rate was 19 (18 government-run) missions out of 34 (28) attempts or 62% but 69% for governments only. And if you throw in the 6 Apollo landings, the total success rate rises to 68% and the government-only rate goes even up to 75%.

Emptied it out, ready for the professionals to do the fully arsed non-shoddy permanent conversion over the next couple of weeks.
The fridge and the chair remain in the back but not tied down at all.
The chair I might leave at my mums as a better sofa-bed for me to sleep on when there, and maybe spend the night with them before dropping the van off. They live much closer than me to the drop off point.

My job was so shoddy it was already starting to fall apart so will be good to have it done properly.

A gate can be really useful for live sound (e.g. when you’re doing a live stream) to cut out unwanted background noise or hum with low latency when you're not speaking. Boz Digital’s “Big Beautiful Door 2” even combines this with a four-band EQ for the closed and open sections and is currently on sale ($49 - 50% with BOZ-JULY-4). I just couldn’t resist… 😅

Earlier this year, Elon Musk poured tens of millions of dollars into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, after spending hundreds of millions to elect Donald Trump.
It looked like our democracy was truly over.
But Blue Future's young organizers pounded the pavement.
We out-organized Musk.
And we defeated his MAGA candidate on a shoestring budget!
Now, Trump has lost confidence in Musk, who's slinking away from the White House!

Heh, got pitched based on my Quamina open-source GitHub repo on behalf of “Fabinvest” which turns out to be a PE fund owned by Qatari royal Jassim Al-Thani. A polite and restrained pitch, not pushy or scammy.
There’s too much money in the world and its owners are increasingly desperate in their search for a place to invest it. I suppose prospecting popular GitHub repos is less crazy than other things that I see going on.
