C3PO: "Bots reporting bots, how perverse!"

NASA lost the original Apollo 11 "first walk" video. Existing copies are screen-grabs, so lost resolution. Speculation is the tapes inadvertently got reused.

Biggest bonehead "lost originals" so far.

> Sooo, they get money from their enterprises via high tax that they then give back to subsidize them? How does that work?

It allows them to take money from established "cash cow" industries to prop up the expansion of selected industries. It's roughly comparable to Microsoft subsidizing an up-and-coming product or category using all their Windows and MS-Office profits, often bankrupting competitors in the process.

Xi can't subsidize everything.

The only places outside of China that make robo-vacs charge an arm and a RAM chip.

City Council member of a non-listed Twin Cities suburb I know:

FBI is involved. Most water systems use one of two control/alert systems that are old and make them easy targets.

All they did was shut down components of the systems e.g., wells/sewer lift stations. Most cities were able to cycle manually to get back up and running. There was not messages warning or ransom of which I am aware.

They could have done a lot more damage if they wanted to, rather than just shutting things down.

I live in Plymouth; there was no city communications about this nor did I see any issues. So, I assume there were no physical disruptions to service.

my single-tasking working smooth.

Did I imply otherwise?

"Sales person" or "marketer" sounds negative. It's kind of how "Janitor" became "Sanitation Engineer". So the new generation is glowmaxing their favorite occupations.

Be an A lert, not a B lert.

A job is a job, stability is a pipe dream, for nobody knows the future. Those radio ads that say "recession-proof career" should have their asses sued off.

It's not clear if the pattern-claimers have a statistical correlation or eye-balled it. If one runs enough variables against an events list, a coincidental match is fairly likely such that one should have grains of salt ready.

Those poor Permianites sure got whacked. There's some evidence it was caused by wayward volcanism, or at least volcanism was a contributor.

Not caused by dark matter, but orange matter.
