Tasks are only phasing out because of the fights we’ve been in, not because they’re no longer useful.

They were built for intimidation. Also, to answer your post below, their long legs gave them deceptive speed. They look slow, but their stride length allows them to cover long distances quickly.
Read the “Rings of the Masters” by Jack Chalker. It’s still one of my favorites.
Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of Scalzi. Of course his Old Man’s War universe books are pretty good, but his other stories are fun too.
As for the Dune books, I liked the 1st two. After that, I liked Messiah and Chapterhouse (basically…
I enjoyed the “House” books. However, I only got through the Butlerian Jihad (1st book in the prequel trilogy). It was terrible.
I really couldn’t get in Hyperion. Loved Dune, but hard pass on Hyperion.
For Tesla, you have to unlock the charging port on the car. That requires either the doors unlocked or the app. I think its magnetically secured. Either way, its almost impossible to remove when locked in.
Exactly. No way I’m getting Apple TV just to see this movie. I’ll probably just forget all about it.

Here’s SPACECOM’s mission off of its website:
The U.S. Navy plans to put its first hypersonic weapons to sea in eight years, stowing them aboard nuclear attack submarines. The Conventional Prompt Strike weapons will be embarked aboard new Virginia-class submarines, giving the Navy a Mach 5+ weapon invulnerable to modern air defenses. The weapon could be used…
This missile predates Trump by quite a few years, and it will outlive him for decades.
See above. Space Command and the Space Force are two separate entities with two different missions. They both exist. Space Command lived on as AF Space Command with many of the same facilites (Vandenberg, CO Springs, and more). Space Force has never existed before.
