It seems like this is just some research group noodling on advanced rocket concepts, not whether they are practical or not. Any increase in SPEED to destination results in an EQUAL need to decelerate at the destination. Deceleration can occur through gravity assisted capture or aerobraking, but none of the more complex strategies for getting rid of velocity at the destination is really used because they're very inaccurate compared to a capture burn.

That's why I'll always be skeptical of these sort of promises of extreme performance being beneficial. There are very few cases where a doubling of velocity in space travel is important. You can always exchange speed for time.

Indeed it isn't. They doing it all day long, every day here in the USA and around the world. It's called "geoengineering", "weather modification" or "chemtrails" depending on who you're talking to. It goes far beyond just making a rainstorm or two here or there.

Now there's a sensible idea.

Lucifer is great at solving problems. He has to be, as he's always causing them.

Hopefully the massive widescale weather experiment we are all unwittingly or helplessly a part of won't have any devastating consequences years or generations down the line. "What could possibly go wrong?"

All this is theater exactly the same way that Microsoft anti-trust thing years ago was theater. Just bread and circuses.

All of these companies have one thing in common: they were founded by US intelligence. They are proprietary fronts. None of these "companies" organically arose due to "capitalism" or "free market" or whatnot. All of their founding myths are bullshit. It's intel dollars at work.

Look up who Jeff Bezos' grandfather was. (Preston Gize was his name.) Big shot at DARPA. You think it was a coincidence this guy ended up as head of Amazon? Just a really smart guy who happened to be in the right place at the right time?

The world we've built is built for our shape -- bipedal, upright. While specialist shapes can be useful in limited circumstances, a bipedal human-shaped robot would be adaptable to the world that already exists.

exploring the anecdote, I have 5 kids, so yeah -- no European vacations here!! Only saving so they can have some access to opportunity I didn't have.

I have not kept more than 2 months worth of cash in my bank for 15 years. I find it hard to believe many people keep significant amounts of cash in banks anymore. Are there even balances that could outflow to stablecoins? Who keeps piles of cash in a bank while you could hold stocks, mutual funds, bitcoin etc. Stablecoins aren't a threat at all, unless a new kind of bank appears that replaces trad banks in utility by using a stable coin.

tokenized securities are not comparable to mortgage backed securities.

what regulatory vehicle do they hope to use? Coinbase and Robinhood can by stocks, and then sell tokens of them under whatever shrink wrapped license agreement they want.

This is only a risk to the markets if there is a violation of holding the underlying security. Regulators should do what they can to avoid another FTX situation, where FTX sold Bitcoin but held none, and their position, which was effectively short bitcoin, blew up in their face, which is what bitcoin does when entities try to manipulate it.

My greatest fear is the stock exchanges resistance to tokenization is their realizeation is that their utility may be nearing an end. The leap between actual security and a token of a secuity that is digitally tradable is within grasp once these tokenized markets gather momentum. Regulation for anti-competitive reasons is ill advised.

Or he just could download this giant data leak and start visiting toxic bitches one by one, starting with the closest, until he succeeds in snuffing out whichever cunt besmirched his online reputation.

> Found the incel.

Found the useless faggot.

May then you unemployed IT goons will be eligible for employment once again.

Yeah, they can put out the fake "global warming" bullshit "data" since we are now tragi-comically "falling behind" in that area. lol

Both you "left wing" and "right wing" types are insufferable goons, equal in your imbecility combined with extreme arrogance.

Two peas in the same pod; not a dime's worth of difference between the two.

The wisest thing that's been posted, or is likely ever to be posted to this thread.

Didn't bother quoting any of the garbage you posted, anon.

Hot day = global warming, obviously

Cold day = "climate isn't weather, dumbass"
