They are still legal but there has been a moratorium by Newsom since 2019.

Me too. Sometimes there are better clues than others.

As I said. Nothingburger.

I'm glad he's as old as he is. If he was 20 years younger I think his behaviour would be a lot more concerning.

The PC is the diagonal, and the internet is the frog. Because a good analogy is like a diagonal frog.

apparently some of us are coming around to the realization that there can be legit principled people who made up the maga movement. Just kidding, that realization is not within their grasp.

@89th said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @Mik said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @jon-nyc The problem with that is they are sampling things that have already been created. Once AI is most all of what's out there to sample you get into this content death spiral. Funny, I was just thinking this morning how content could get into its own self-referencing vortex. It seems like a solvable problem. Not too worried about that one.

Not a cheery article. I can't help but wonder where we would be if the west had supported Ukraine more whole-heartedly. All for using the frozen Russian assets. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/zelensky-is-losing-touch-with-reality/ar-AA1QGvyu

I would imagine so, it being a news station and this being news.

In fairness, public messagers like the Bee are different from TNCR posters, in their culpability.

@Renauda said in Mildly interesting: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20251117-the-animals-that-can-eat-poisons-and-not-die That's interesting. On a very loosely related subject, it struck me that if cats and dogs ever did go to war, the felines could triumph very quickly with the use of chocolate-based WMD's.

I've actually never listened to her. My strongest impression about her was when she was standing at Trump's left shoulder in some speech he was giving in his first run. I remarked about how beautiful she was. She has taken some turns, because the culture has given her leverage. It wasn't the culture that directed her, it was her inclinations. She's as crazy as people will be, without boundaries.

That is cool. Their whole goal was frequent, reusable, economic launches. I posted in the New Glenn thread, the Blue Origin stuff gets a lot of jokes because how far "behind" it is than SpaceX, but I really enjoyed the 1.5 hour watching of those 2 behind-the-scenes tour with Jeff Bezos, it really, really, dare I say, really shed light into all of the work and decisions that goes into building reusable boosters and orbital vehicles. It also shows you what can happen if you have 100 billion dollars and are very smart. Kind of like @jon-nyc if he had 99 more billion dollars and 99 more smart.
