What about those little blue pills?

Thank goodness we saved all that “fraud, waste, and abuse” helping keep people from starving, in order to go trillions more into debt on tax cuts to wealthy and corporations

That’s a huge reason I believe, hope, that we will never do that. A more efficient and less catastrophic approach is to do some level of refining out at the source and only send back together refined, pure minerals.

…. Although I realize the irony of advocating for sending, say a rod of pure tungsten, back to earth

And more realistically, I have a hard time believing that will ever be cheaper to bring to earth than to mine locally. While there maybe a handful of elements worth it, more realistically you are mining for use in space

Space tourism is something that can happen now for the ultra-rich, and would be an interesting medium term goal to make that reachable by more people. If we pursued that, we could see yearly progress

Asteroid mining is still far in the future, and we need to take our first baby steps of getting established in space

How about various particle detectors for physics research. Currently we build some of these deep underground to filter out the more local high interaction particles. Perhaps the moon, far from earth, is even better for some.

In space there is only radiative method available

But on the moon you’d also have conductive, and be able to connect directly to a massive heat sink

Excellent video.

Could be. I’m a build engineer so need to know enough about every language to build it. Luckily I was able to drop that as “will not support” (we’re mostly a Java shop, with Python, nodejs, and a few less common choices)

Probably depends on what you’re building with.

I’ve seen c# projects with an insane number of files, all boilerplate. The one language where I can dig through thousands of files without finding where the app is actually coded

There’s plenty of blame to go around. One of the biggest annoyances of AI for me is the number of tools that won’t let me create a read-only token.

Luckily my scm does let me do that so I can tell my LLM to do various reports and analyses without risking losing anything

Yeah, I suppose everyone is different. I do have some texture issues where sometimes the contrast makes all the difference

Thanks. I’ve never been to Atlanta but my brother is there now so I might visit

I know, let’s take their drivers license. That’ll get them …… driving with no insurance and more likely to run rather than stop

Where’d you get it? I’ve never seen it as bison before.

…… looking longingly at my order of bison from Costco that absolutely does not claim to be safe raw but people online go fir it

Is there even a chicken version of sushi? I’ve never heard of it. But raw chicken generally smells and feels gross, like it’s rotten already. Meanwhile fresh raw beef is nice

That’s where the combination comes in. The texture contrast trait with little toast points makes it entirely different

It is so good, but it’s the combination that puts it over the top. The capers are critical, as is the texture contrast with the toast!

God, that’s so HOT!

Thin crust, various toppings - I’m bored with basic pepperoni

• ricotta and sausage
• anything white
• whatever “carnivore special“ they’re having at my favorite place (that may have closed)

Nuclear was probably the best choice in the 1970’s; France made the best choice. But we’ve seen over and over again the problems are getting worse rather than better. Paperwork and process ever more unwieldy. Construction taking longer and longer. Radioactive waste building up with no permanent disposal. By far the highest cost power generation, and the difference is getting wider.

Much of the posts about how great it will be this time is just astroturfing by those trying to profit. No, “small modular reactors”, didn’t solve the cost, construction, or process issues, but only raised the cost of generation. No, thorium isn’t the silver bullet and really doesn’t exist yet.
