Given the recent track record of lunar probes crashing and/or landing ass side up, the odds of success for this rush job are not good.

Are you sure about that "biological" thing? Most of them look like Stepford Wives.

Did you know this story? I didn't.

IBM has been making big promises about semiconductors, quantum computing, and other technologies for years.
It's a good way to keep the stock price elevated*.
But what has IBM actually delivered in any of these areas in recent years?

*like Sam Altman and AGI for instance

Where do you see a joke in my post?

The only way to know for sure is to explore Uranus thoroughly.

Go get the diamonds, good luck returning to Earth safely.

The archived Climate.gov site alongside the live Climate.us site will provide a convenient way to compare climate statistics after Trump's term with the data that he deliberately froze in 2025.

The U.S. is by no means the only contributor to climate change, but its inaction has undoubtedly played a significant role in worsening the situation.

Don't worry. The current regime has plan in place to simply not deliver mailed ballots in states that have any chance of going against your desired outcome.

To paraphrase the apocryphal Stalin: Altering one ballot is a felony. Shitcanning a million ballots is a statistic.

Central banks do a lot of useful things, but they don't give currency a value (they can, however manipulate the value others give it by printing it, destroying it, changing interest rates, changing the amount of reserve banks need and the multiple they can lend, etc). What gives a currency value is supply and demand- the fact other people want that currency. Which is also what sets international exchange rates.

There's also the fact you need it to pay taxes, which sets a base amount of demand. But beyond that it's all supply and demand when deciding how much value it has against other currencies or physical objects.

WHich is different from crypto how? You print it from doing large amounts of useless work on a computer that provides no value and is immediately thrown out. Or the new proof of stake algorithms, in which you print it by having previously printed it. I'll take cash, thanks.

That's a real shame, because I've always wondered what the prime factors of 35 might be.

I'm still holding out hope that they manage to figure this out during my lifetime.

People no longer want to spend time reading long, text-based news articles and discussions.

the methods to estimate the mass / size in these conditions are flawed.
