Dan Gryder speculates it was a botched go-around.

If they were really serious about this severe problem, they would kick all the people out of their state, so that nobody would ever see anyone else. Until humans are eliminated, Texas' vision cannot be fulfilled. FUCK HUMANS! (Err, I mean that figuratively, of course. You should never literally fuck a human. That's not even a thing, kids, I swear!)

Next step: State of Texas sues all their ISPs.

I recall it's some kind of abbreviation, but I don't care enough to check for what.

And you live in your own imaginary made up world too ? Everything you say is false.

They've attacked hospitals that had to close for weeks, evacuating all patients. Yes, people died because of cyberattacks. How is that any different than, say, attacking a customs checkpoint ?

It's difficult to separate using mass spectrometry for 2 reasons: the separation is by AtomicMass/IonizationCharge so you get plenty of overlap of different atoms (I worked on that recently and it is nearly unsolvable); and it uses a HUGE amount of energy to ionize a large amount of matter. If fusion creates basically free energy it might work, but we are not there yet, that's for sure.

Indeed. Flower Moon is an interesting movie with lots of qualities, but the edit is pretty bad. There are multiple time jumps (of years) that take the viewer several minutes to figure out. And they happen just like the continuation of the previous scene. I found that confusing and annoying.
While I'm here I can also do a jab at Oppenheimer. The first half was excellent, yes, but after that it's just a long interrogation scene with self-doubts and nasty politics and is frankly boring.
Anatomie d'une chute was pretty good.

Yeah. It was extremely hot that day (105F?), so I don't know if it contributed to creating a volatile spray that went 'boom'. Anyway, it was impressive to see from the inside... while our tiny Fiat was catapulted over the 8 cars in front of us... When I later took the pictures for the insurance, our crushed car was 3 feet long... It seemed impossible that anyone could have gotten out alive.

Congrats to you as well! :) Baby is only slightly premature, being induced at 2.5-3 weeks early due to size.

I've always heard that cars in accidents don't explode like in american movies. And yet when we stopped in traffic on the highway and the guy behind us didn't, leading to being rear-ended at high speed, our car EXPLODED in a fireball that envelopped the car. I saw it IN FRONT OF ME (I was driving). Fortunately the backseat was packed to the ceiling (we were moving), so the flames were mostly outside. Total 8 cars burnt to the ground, minor injuries to us (glass cuts, burns) and the read-ender, total loss of everything we owned...

I strongly disagree. It takes all of 5 mins to install Linux on a PC from a USB stick. If Windows didn't come with your PC, good luck. Also once installed, any update of *all* programs is as simple as "apt update", or even letting the auto-updater run in the background if enabled. On Windows the system upgrade just reboots the PC WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION overnight, and for any program you have to hunt down, download and install new versions individually. Which leads to people never upgrading them, which leads to security problems, which leads to spending hours cleaning sick PCs with antiviruses.
And one more thing, any problem you have on Linux can be found online with a solution that starts with "type this...", while on Windows it's "click on this then that, then that..." but the windows don't match because it's the home version not the pro version or whatnot. No, Linux has been WAY EASIER to use for the last 10 or 15 years.

"The Mandalorian & Grogu" is set to be .. the biggest blockbuster...

I'm glad to hear that this movie, which is about to start filming, has already been determined to be so popular with the public, that they will be lining up around the block to get into the theater.

Well, it's a road with lots of traffic... And a lot of pedal bikes too.
