  • Whose future?

    Jump

  • I was wondering why there was parking on mars.

  • Whose future?

    Jump

  • I agree.

    Another way that I like to describe this is that almost nothing could make the earth less hospitable than the moon or mars already are. Asteroid strike? Mars' thin atmosphere is even more vulnerable. Climate change? The moon swings between -170C and 119 C each month. Nuclear war? Try living under constant cosmic radiation in a pressurized habitat that could be completely destroyed by a few small conventional explosives instead of a nuclear bomb.

    If we had the ability to make a self sustaining colony on mars we'd be able to restore earth's biosphere or make self sustaining arcologies or bunkers.

  • Whose future?

    Jump

  • The Artemis 2 flyby of the moon was really cool. But the photos of the moon really reminded me how absurd it is that a dozen obscenely wealthy bastards are pushing us to live and work in a deadly airless ugly desert instead of preserving the miraculous little oasis in space that we already have.

  • Solar alone is now competitive with fossil power on a pure capital expenditure (capex) basis, and solar-plus-storage is expected to follow by around 2030

    Jump

  • First there's capex, then there's the ongoing cost of fuel, then there's the ongoing cost of lobbying to get politicians to waste lives and money on oil wars.

  • No Kings protests draw estimated 8 million in largest single-day U.S. demonstrations

    Jump

  • There were people in my city promoting a May 1st General Strike.

  • No Kings protests draw estimated 8 million in largest single-day U.S. demonstrations

    Jump

  • In blue cities, it is a networking event. There were booths for all sorts of organizations to get people more involved in activism. I was there with Food Not Bombs but there was like 30 booths for Not In Our Name, Veterans for Peace, AIRR, Peaceworks, PSL (Yuck), Labor Unions, and many more.

  • The Transportation Death Compass

    Jump

  • That's why it's in the negative positive quadrant. Low desire to die, high risk of dying (at least in my city)

    I Revised The Transportation Death Diagram Based on Feedback

  • The Transportation Death Compass

    Jump

  • Yes this was the point of the meme. I feel like dying in an airplane, but it is very unlikely that anything fatal will happen. I also feel like dying while driving through suburban traffic, and there the odds are much higher something could take me out.

  • The Transportation Death Compass

    Jump

  • I love biking! Hence the low desire to die. I feel so much better all day after biking.

    I am also biking in Kansas City Missouri though where drivers will directly threaten to kill me.

  • The Transportation Death Compass

    Jump

  • This stemmed from me joking with a friend that it is unfortunate that flying is so safe because I always want to die when I'm on plane.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x06 "Come, Let's Away"

    Jump

  • A little detail I liked was Tarima specifying something about destroying her father's auditory cortex. It answered the question of why a telepathic species would need sign language. In humans, even when we imagine voices or use an internal voice it goes through the auditory. So, it makes sense that a telepathic species might use it's auditory context to "hear" thoughts.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • Are these people even watching the show? (probably deliberately disingenuous)

    Ake sits up and also wears shoes when things are serious. It a consistent visual cue. I'd be as mad as they were if cadets were dying and she were laying back in the chair just shrugging it off, but that's not at all what is happening. Part of her character is that she is serious only to the extent the situation requires, and I think that casual attitude makes sense for someone who has been around for hundred's of years.

  • Confirmed: Comic Book From ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Ep. 6 Was NOT Created With AI

    Jump

  • Well now I want them to release it in print.

  • no borders

    Jump

  • It really felt like flipping a switch similar to when I left Catholicism. Once I started questioning borders, I very quickly got to the point of being utterly baffled that people buy into the idea of borders at all.

  • Trump Orders the Pentagon to Buy More Coal-Fired Electricity

    Jump

  • Coal is so stupid, expensive, and awful.

    Trump should require the pentagon to use more horses and muskets.

  • Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week

    Jump

  • There are 259 dems in congress. Without looking them all up, I'll pessimistically say half of them are young and lucid enough to actually do research on a computer. If those 130 people go in each with a handful of specific questions (redacted documents that look hella suspicious but need details filled in), I think they could get a lot of useful information.

    None of this is to say "we've got trump this time!" But they could get information that concretely shows how the DOJ is covering for child rapists and violating the law. This will make a lot of news going into the mid terms and prompt numerous investigations, hopefully impeachments and resignations.

    It's not enough, but it does have some value.

  • Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week

    Jump

  • It's not nearly enough. But remember how representatives started flipping on the release after meeting with victims? Then it became (nearly) unanimous.

    I hope that 4 or 5 republicans see something in those documents horrifying enough to shock them into action again.

  • Reupload: "Dumbphone Owners Have Lost Their Minds", this is the original title of the Wired article, personally I don't think so

    Jump

  • I have always had a dumbphone and it has been amusing to see the typical reaction change over the years.

    07 - 15 Oh, so you're broke?

    15 - 24 Where did you even get that? How do you live?

    24 - 26 Wow, I wish I could do that.
