Why are you responding to yourself in a negative way ? It feels like an intermediate post is missing or you replied to the wrong post. Is /. buggy ?

Eh, take some time to read a bit better, my post was in reply to a mention of Trump, I didn't even know you were involved. This being said I can understand you being touchy in your forever war with your personal trolls, but usually you are a lot more insightful. Best of luck.

Silent ? He can't seem to shut the fuck up about anything.

Haven't you seen all the recent deep cuts to NASA science missions? And science in general. In some cases it will take over a generation to recover.

For me the visualization of direct collapse black hole formation is that there's still a huge mass of gas falling in, at the boundary of the new black hole nearly dense enough to direct collapse itself. The blowback would compress the inflow over the density edge and you get a whole cloud of black holes.

It's pretty cool that they're seeing where the supermassive black holes come from. The models of what's happening in there must be amazing.

I really like that quote:

Or it could be that they both evolved from an earlier and different process which was quite inefficient and which was replaced by the 2 mechanisms of bacteria/archea so thoroughly that no genetic trace remains.

Did that include the graphic card in that laptop or not ?

Yeah, a lot of jobs are done with their body. I never understood the people who oppose sex work because "it uses the body" or similar arguments. A lot of jobs are physical and will destroy you over time. What about a mountain guide and his rotten knees, a wallbuilder and his painful back, an electrician with crawling on his knees and repeated shocks, a plumber with handling shit, etc, etc...

It wasn't "anything goes" before capitalism. In Europe it was often king-given monopolies. The first one to do something could often get a monopoly for life (and sometimes even more) to continue doing it. A lot of industries were controlled like that, and it crushed any competition or hope for technical improvements. It also applied to unions (trade unions of which only one per job existed and you were not allowed to work if you were not a member). It even applied to weird things like composing/performing musicals (for Lully in France under Louis XIV for instance).

Timeline hopper here, just through the gate from funny laugh lady land. Believe it or not in that line Musk is still the richest man ever over there - richer even - but he's a woke social librul because he knows which side of his bread has butter on it.

Notably, President Harris also prefers rockets that will launch to rockets that will not for some reason.

But don't eat the fish. Just in case.

What an interesting way to describe that. A disciplined way, you might say.

Watching was a thrill ride from beginning to end. Still issues with Booster landing but they will sort it out. The re-entry tiles did great. The satellites did great. Ship did so well they will try for a catch next time, if there's nothing counter in the flight data.

Hardware rich development proves itself again. The next one is built and being fitted out for a launch just a couple months away. Behind it, the factory has begun several more.

It's hard to believe they started building this on a beach in tents, with a flying water tower.

The radiation pressure that prevents the inflow of mass to a black hole has no effect on another black hole.
