God that’s refreshing to see.

Interesting read, this part caught my eye:

Launching a crewed spacecraft to Mars might require 2 to 4 megawatts of power, meaning multiple MPD thrusters operating for more than 23,000 hours. This presents a challenge as the hardware operates at high temperatures, and the team needs to prove that the thruster’s components can withstand the heat for multiple hours during upcoming tests.

Would the thrusters really run the full 23k hours? That’s just shy of 960 days, surely once you reach a certain speed you wouldn’t need to run them continuously at full power.

How are you going to describe content like that and NOT share it??

It looks like bikes are parked between the first & second gardens, there might even be more further back!

13hrs on a bus? That is hell.

Wasn’t there the case of that “AI startup” that was literally just outsourcing to a call centre in India? Literally Actually Indians

Sigh I feel like this has been done to death. When are we getting a TP remake? I would actually consider buying a switch 2 for that.

Air conditioning filters. I need air conditioner filters. My air conditioner filters are filthy. I need to buy air conditioner filters

I love/hate that we even have to ask.

A self driving vehicle that you own, sure, but the point of a taxi is that you aren’t supposed to drive. A passenger doesn’t need a drivers license to enter a taxi, doesn’t need to think about how much they’ve had to drink. Also im not from the US but do these things even have steering wheels and pedals? I tried searching and found some articles where Wayne unveiled cars without them, but couldn’t see if they’re now in use commonly.

The app also raised initial concerns about its potential GPS tracking capability, but the White House has since removed that functionality.

At least that’s been removed. If only that were the only issue…

That’s to Ceres, Mars is only 9 months, so how do we get from 9 months to 23k hours?

Is there anything interesting in the paywalled part?

“I feel no ill will, it’s great, there’s cohesion,” he said of US-German ties. “But it’s not fair that we keep boosting your economy so y’all can make money off us.”

This is such a fucked point of view. What does he expect? That everywhere he spends money should be a US business? That all transactions should be in USD? That all sales taxes should go to the US government? Get fucked. He’s here on German soil using German taxpayer funded infrastructure. My all means, fuck the fuck off back to your shithole country. Once all the Americans are gone I would gladly move in if the lack of demand meant lower rent/property prices.

No, I’d pay 100€ to take the ICE from hbf to hbf. And that’s if I somehow need to buy a ticket for a train same day, cheaper if done in advance.

That’s Austrians for you, straightforward and pragmatic.

Yep same thing happened to me. I don’t know how I managed the quick reflexes after 17hrs London to Perth, but I guess not wanting my laptop to break trumps jet lag.

Clearly sarcasm because of how Spain has condemned Israel’s treatment of the flotilla

The personnel growth plan foresees expanding from 185,420 active-duty soldiers today to 260,000 by the mid-2030s

Ah, so that’s where my tax euros are going.
