I don't think most people could accurately imagine the stress of rding to the moon on -any- spacecraft. Being strapped to 2.9 million kg of highly volatile fuel while confined to a tiny capsule and travelling 400,000 km through the vacuum of space is going to get to you no matter whose flag is painted on the side of your tin can.

A lot of extremely horrible things (like jaws falling off) happened to the folks who made those watches due to licking the paintbrush tip to give it a fine point between radium paint applications.

Knew it was only a matter of time before some aging mid-level server jockey whose greatest achuevement in life is a 5 digit Slashdot UID felt it was necessary to shit on someone who made incredible contributions to humanity just because she had the temerity to be born with a vagina.

That would be pretty hard to do, considering he was only 68 when he died. When Sanford and Son started production, he was only forty nine. Wrap your head around that!

Given that the world's resources are already well beyond maintainable carrying capacity, we need to reduce population at both ends of the age scale.Yes, the middle, too. Neither adding an additional 50 million births per year, nor keeping people alive until 130 helps toward this end. But a drawdown in human population must occur at some point, and inevitably will, one way or another. The amount of misery that it entails will be up to us dumb human beings. I have little hope we'll choose the sensible path.

Bananas only are commercially viable to grow in tropical climates, which excludes most of the developed world, including the entirety of Europe, North America, much of Asia, and Australia.

They also have one of the most well-developed and efficient supply chains of any fresh food product, which is why they are one of the cheapest fruits available for purchase by weight even in temperate zones. Bananas shipped to the U.S., primarily from central and South America, typically spend only a couple of weeks in logistics. In fact, they arrive so quickly that nearly half that time is spent sitting in a ripening facility.

They also must be shipped unripe given the delicate ess of the ripened fruit. Fully ripe bananas essentially can't be shipped at all.

After the monitor adware debacle (which I experienced), I am disinclined to trust them on this.

I own 2 LG monitors and 2 LG Smart TVs, but next time, I'll be looking elsewhere.

I always chuckle at the irony that the far right is so obsessed with the Spartans. These "tough guys" engaged in more homosexuality/pederasty than any other Greek state and normalized it to the point that there are accounts of Spartan men having their wives dress up as teenage boys just so they could get it up for "marital relations."

Uh, that's not how Americans use the C bomb at all, i.e. as an extremely derogatory term for women. Much more like a British or Australian usage.

Flock ALPRs are not speed cameras.

No, the simplest fix is to not patronize AliExpress.

The idiots canceling their contracts over this don't realize that they are making the case for its necessity better than Anthropic ever could.

Flock cameras are contracted almost exclusively by local municipalities, not the federal government.

While I suppose that Congress could pass a bill banning federal agencies for paying for access to their data, if you want to keep the cameras out of your neighborhood, the place to do it is at your local council meeting.

Which would be at all germane if Flock cameras were traffic enforcement/speed cameras.

They are not.
