So I have a contentious one. Quantum computers. (I am actually a physicist, and specialised in qunatum back in uni days, but now work mainly in in medical and nuclear physics.)
Most of the "working": quantum computers are experiments where the outcome has already been decided and the factoring they do can be performed on 8 bit computers or even a dog.

This paper is a hilarious explanation of the tricks being pulled to get published. But then again, it is a nascent technology, and like fusion, I believe it will one day be a world changing technology, but in it's current state is a failure on account of the bullshittery being published. Then again such publications are still useful in the grand scheme of developing the technology, hence why the article I cited is good humoured but still making the point that we need to improve our standards. Plus who doesnt like it when an article includes dogs.
Anyway, my point is, some technologies will be constant failures, but that doesn't mean we should stop.
A cure for cancer is a perfect example. Research has been going on for a century and cumulatively amassed 100s of billions of dollars of funding. It has failed constantly to find a cure, but our understanding of the disease, treatment, how to conduct research, and prevention have all massively increased.

I made it more realistic.

Aerodynamic drag helps accelerate the rocket up. Got it. And the rocket takes its own oxygen with it, and sucks methane from the air and space. I didnt realise gravity changes direction from top to bottom, then goes sideways (obviously the methane alters gravity). And great idea having the crew compartment in the combustion chamber... must stop the crew from getting cold.

Deport her to russia.

Good work. Less reliance on american shite, labour council doing something that benefits british people, using public funds to fund public benefitting programs. In Kent however under Reform they invented 40 million of savings and spent over one third of the cost to create this app (1.5million) on a single private car park for themselves.

I'd literally tell him to "fuck off I'll call you Nonce Andrew, and if you threaten me I'll go to the press and tell them even more shit that will get you in prison, you fucking nonce. Now get on your knees and apologise. And then I'd film it, and send it to the press"

It's aboot time. (sorry)

Thats how I ended up here. Even deleted my reddit account.

Is Richard Johnson a real name or a codeword?

Should ICC be able to pre-emptively arrest Meloni then?

Yeah this is made by some american bootlicker. We are more united than ever so they can go sow division in their own shit hole country. You know what president Von Der Leyen didnt do this week - she didnt threaten to take control of elections, she didnt make a new website under her own name VonDerLeyenRx.com to sell slightly cheaper heavily overpriced drugs from political donors (because we already have cheap access to drugs and universal healthcare) and we didnt shoot any peaceful protestors, or detain any children. The big news is they want Grok to stop making child porn and chatgpt to stop telling children to kill themselves, and for tiktok to stop brainwashing our kids. All egregious horrible things to the US. 

No word of a lie, I worked in a place where HR would print the company credit card statements, load the printed sheets back into the printer scanner, and email them to each employee individually from the copier.

You may not be surprised to learn that the only thing that kills more children in the USA than guns (15%) is.... motor vehicles (20%). (Not including pollution, climate change)

I can't have the toilet door closed because one of them always has to come in to give me moral support, and if they cant they scratch incessantly.

My silly cat likes to gently bite my ankles when shes hungry, not painful more ticklish, but im still gonna drop hot drinks or a laptop on her one day when im not expecting it.

Weaponised FOMO

Remember when Johnson pushed through his oven ready microwave meal brexit? Dont trust the brits in the kitchen.
