That is more or less the explanation which is going around. Official (hence all the lights on it)emergency HPGe drones flying in arrags to detect nuclear radiation from dirty bombs. This time it's a drill but accompanied with psyop, preparing the population.
Probably related with intention to attack Iran.
We have two elementary ways to perceive our interactions with 'alien chemicals'
- the War of the Worlds way: When the Spanish landed in South America they brought diseases the people in South America had no defense against and they all died.
- The separate worlds way: two specialized mechanisms exist next to each other , they have not adapted to each other and therefore they can barely interact and they mostly act as if the other does not exist.
with mirror chemistry we know a lot of stuff won't fit so the separate worlds hypothesis gets the preference. But you can't possibly predict what will happen without going into the details, which will mostly mean trying it out..
I leave the fridge door open.
The main risk right now is from the gain of function research.
You don't have to be convinced of the covid-lab leak thesis in order to come to that conclusion , even before covid.
The awful thing is that once people manage to slap the 'conspiracy thinking ' label on is everybody's thinking just shuts down. Not only about this instance but about the general risk.
Seriously, not only are there a lot of conspiracies going on at any time, how is a lab leak even a conspiracy? Conspiracy to cover it up , sure. But how often is there not such a conspiracy going on...
A wheel like that would be a niche thing, like when Michelin reinvented the wheel eg see here https://www.designboom.com/tec...
It's very nice to reinvent basic things, like the wheel or warm water, but it doesn't mean it will revolutionize what is out there. It will likely become a niche thing which means most of the market is unaffected.
I'm guessing stuck in zipper.
I imagine the first AI equipped lander screaming and uttering a stream of invective, then going quiet.
And then suddenly "That was great , can I do it again?"
This is why I mounted an ice cream machine on my John Deere tractor.
I can identify with the screming into the atmosphere bit, less so with the graceful landing.
Infuriating is the word.
I thought the first measure of batteries was about how much energy they can store, gigawatt hours for instance, not in terms of the power delivery, gigawatts.
If they deliver gigawats, how long can they keep it up when no power is going into them?
With renewable energies the size of the buffer is everything.
I don't think I read the senate report itself. I did read at least one analysis of it. Already forgot a lot about it but I know where to find it:
The Steele dossier was gossip and open source , which as Stephen Cohen pointed out right after it was made public, you can buy for 50$ on every street corner in Russia.
Stories were delivered by Igor Danchenko, who got them from 5 subsources. There was no substance to them at all. These did not include Sergei Millian who had nothing to do with the whole affair.
Who's 'they'? You know you're heroically defending the truth backed by the vast majority of people right? I'm the guy here with the contrarian view amongst a half empty room of old techies, not you.
You realize that you're replying to me with "that is not possible look how many claims there have been!".
I actually spent a lot of time looking into specific claims. An avalanche of claims is how propaganda like that works, it is not proof. What do you want me to do, laboriously debunk every claim to prove you wrong?
There may not be that much use to an old guy making provocative statements on a forum that is long past its prime but I'll tell you one thing, I'm pretty good at getting things right, especially where it requires going in against the crowd.
Thufir's a Harkonnen now.
