    The J6 magats walked, so apparently the answer is yes.

    @AndyD said in Overlooked?: I take it that the answer to my question is Zero. How is construction of the Mexican wall coming along? The border is 2,000 miles long. I believe Trump had about 400 miles of fencing replaced and 80 miles of new border wall. Also Mexico didn’t pay a dime. Good campaign promise though, whatever gets him the W.

    @LuFins-Dad I vaguely (and I mean, vaguely) remember it on the news back in the day. However there was something a couple weeks back on one my son’s History channel shows that had a segment on it.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Keeping the DoD safe from DEI: Sounds like they did a generic search to tag pictures for review, the images will be reviewed and either removed or not. If the Enola Gay is removed, it’s pretty obviously another malicious implementation, again. Scouring the internet, bringing Truth to the American people, one story at a time.

    It did not seem to bother King Charles III that Zelenskyi wasn’t wearing a blue business suit, white shirt and matching tie when the two met last Sunday. Like bachophile pointed out in his post last week, it doesn’t appear to bother Trump when the Saudi Prince, MbS, and his entourage arrive at the WH in their bath robes. Who’s to criticise Zelenskyi when Trump himself is just an empty suit?

    I would rather have seen George Step-on-all-of-us hit the bricks.

    King George was my favorite character and song. Brilliant. The whole show was a complete original. Lots of great music.

    If you're going to be on national TV why would you place your primary light source under your face like you're doing a dracula impression?

    Then chances are it was a bad idea, poorly implemented.

    I didn’t see Fetterman standing. Or even voting to keep boys from beating girls in their sports…

    They should look into it but it’s not uncommon for early stage startups in biotech to not have a website. I know because I search some out that I believe have a nascent program in AATD. When you google them you get references to incorporation documents and little else. Also ARPA-H is a strange beast. It’s not a normal grant making program of NIH. It was going for moonshots not incremental change. In theory that could make it more open for funny business. I’ll bet the reality is more boring than that.

    Imagine having to pay all that money, and then be obliged to have to tell him how awesome he is. It would be like being forced to eat excrement, and then taste it all over again as it is regurgitated.

    A lot of companies are starting to focus on glasses with cameras and basic computing (voice interface) Meta released a concept of regularish looking glasses that do a lot of things that smartphones currently do.

    @NobodySock said in Cause Of Death: I would surmise that this fentanyl issue would be a big incentive for drug addicts to quit. Not knowing if your next toot is going to kill you or not has to make one think before rolling the dice. I realize addiction to amphetimine and opiod type drugs is a very strong force on one's will, but maybe this could be looked at as a good thing for the overall health of our country's citizens. One would think Republicans would actually relish its impact on the subculture of humans who are a drag on society with the homelessness and panhandling that is the usual end result for addicts, but then again, it's become their number one plank to stop illegal immigration. It's the reason Trump wanted to tarrif Canada though very little has been discovered passing to the US from there. They'll just go to a different drug. Illicit drugs tend to cycle, as junkies die or wise up about one and then they stagger to another.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/moon-landing-private-spacecraft-second-time-week-rcna194919 For the second time in less than a week, a privately built U.S. spacecraft will attempt to land on the moon. The robotic lander, dubbed Athena, was developed by the Texas-based company Intuitive Machines. It launched into space on Feb. 26 and has spent the past week journeying to the moon. At roughly the size of a dishwasher, the six-legged craft aims to touch down at a site in the moon’s south polar region, then spend a week looking for the possible presence of water ice below the lunar surface. The landing is scheduled for Thursday at 12:32 p.m. ET. NASA TV will broadcast a live stream of the event beginning at 11:30 a.m. ET. Less than one hour away. https://plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-video/intuitive-machines-2-lunar-landing/
