Fortunately, we can keep track of where we lowered the waste disposal. 

It’s not floating anywhere unless the water gets massively churned up, and then it would settle down again. This stuff is extremely dense - far denser than water. 

We don’t know what the “evil spirits” are, either. It’s not clear that Men’s spirits can even hang around in Arda after they die unless it’s a weird situation like the Dead Men of Dunharrow - they might be the spirits of corrupted, deceased elves, or ainur.

I imagine they’d say he was poisoned or something like that. But they can’t be convinced either way - the real damage would to his numbers among undecided voters. 

It doesn’t need to last indefinitely - we can just keep maintaining them on the sites. If we go extinct or something like that, it doesn’t really matter to us if they slowly leak out over time.

Even if they leak a bit at that depth, I’m not overly worried about it. Water is a very good radiation shield - it’d be bad news for any life that got within a few feet of it, but otherwise not terrible. 

That’s a bummer. They should see if they can break it apart in 2030, and then have the pieces of it be carried down in SpaceX Starships so it can be re-assembled in part on the ground for an aerospace museum exhibit. 

I’ve never understood the obsession with building a site that will literally last thousands of years. It has very low volume - just store it on site indefinitely. 

That seems so dumb, even for this show. Why would there be barrow-wights hanging around pestering Tom Bombadil? And why would he be bothered by them - he casually breaks their power in the books with a song without even being perturbed by them.

The answer is that I’m joking, obviously. 

No, they picked Axiom (the startup) and Collins (the old space company). Axiom’s suit project is doing fine, and probably the best outcome here would be for them to get the EVA suit contract unless the law requires a second company - and one is willing to step up for it (which SpaceX is not necessarily willing to do).

It’s a bummer about Collins dropping the contract. Axiom supposedly has been hitting their milestones on suit development - the best outcome here would be either give them the EVA suit contract as well, or see if another company wants to take a crack at it and can credibly deliver (which would probably be SpaceX,…

Why don’t they just buy Rivian? The company is only worth about $15 billion now, and they could probably get it with a high percentage of the price paid in VW stock. 

Some enterprising internet folks should find out who this guy is, and spread the word around discretely so that all the service workers at the restaurants he visits can spit in his food or deliberately get his order wrong repeatedly.

I hope they work out. There was a GLP-1 drug recently that failed in testing - it did have a strong weight loss effect, but the gastrointestinal effects were too unpleasant for the takers to stay on it.

If you’re creating AI art, you are in charge of writing the prompt, revising it to change effects, changing the results directly yourself with other tools as needed, and even doing more advanced stuff like adjusting the weights within the AI model to get different results. If you want to see what that looks like, the…

The point - which you missed - was that the exact same arguments against AI Art were initially marshalled against photography as art that could be copyrighted. “It’s not the creation of the artist, it’s the camera” and so forth.  You can point to XYZ reasons why it’s supposedly different, but it really just amounts to…

The Russians dump spent stages overland as well (mostly in central Asia), but they really don’t have any better locations to launch stuff into non-polar orbits without going over populated land. China really needs to get Wenchang ready for launch - it doesn’t sound like they even really gave warning on a downrange…

I feel like they’ve toyed with “resets” multiple times, but can’t really commit to it because the temptation to go back to the lore is compelling. 

It’s more that Boeing represents 170,000 jobs, and for a lot of defense R&D/supply there’s effectively no alternative - or only one alternative or such.
