I think the reasoning was that they could skip having an emergency ascent system if they made the whole vessel buoyant. The method for dropping ballast was to just have all the passengers throw their weight to one side so the sub would tilt and the unsecured ballast could passively roll off the side. The entire…

I never understand why people make that complaint. This isn’t the only article on the front page. There are plenty of other things to read.

It’s a good thing nobody goes running during the morning when dew and fog are close to the ground, or when it’s raining or anything like that. That moisture-reactive material might not be so desirable then.

I would love to watch Keaton in the batsuit again, but I’m hesitant to put even a penny in Ezra Miller’s pocket. I’ll wait until it’s streaming for free somewhere.

The thing is, our models of stellar evolution just aren’t accurate enough to say for sure either way. The naysayers who claim Betelgeuse won’t go off for another 100K years are no more likely to be right than those who claim it’s ready to go in our lifetimes. We’ll just have to wait and see, and learn a lot once it…

It seems like that’s another bit of safety equipment that OceanGate decided was unnecessary.

The only wireless connectivity I want in my car is the Bluetooth stereo. If there’s system data to be had, plug in a module for that. This is a disgraceful decision to ignore all the voters who said quite clearly that this was something important to them.

And what do you call the good ones who work beside the bad ones and do nothing?

Please show in the copious video available when exactly she was ever threatened.

OpenAI isn’t the problem here. It’s human beings using a tool to do things it is not capable of doing and then failing to do their own jobs while blaming it on their tools. A chatbot doesn’t know anything and has little to no connection with the real world. It strings words together in a plausible order, and it does…

It’s assault, buddy.

“Schroedinger’s Douchebag.”

Our current power generation is terribly inefficient and already produces a lot of waste heat, along with pollution.

You could build a cheap collector kilometers across in space that would take tons of steel structure to build on Earth, and it would be in the sun 24/7.

It has length. I assume these also have a measurable width, but we can’t measure it from this distance.

It’s active if it has an accretion disk and a supply of stuff falling into it. If it runs out of stuff in it’s neighborhood, it’s dormant. It’s still a tortured knot of spacetime, but it’s got nothing around it to act on.

I’m okay with the Space Force being defunded. Has anyone demonstrated a need for the division in the first place?

North Korea has a lot of practice at shooting rockets into the ocean.

It’s pretty obvious to anyone who isn’t “anti-woke.”

Blessed are the cheesemakers, and a Greek shall inherit the Earth.
