I don’t tend to look at the moon for mining itself, more as the port from which we can more cheaply and easily head to the asteroid belt where the money is.
Launching stuff off of earth in order to build large structures/ships in orbit is expensive as hell because of the gravity well. Get moon manufacturing off the ground, then everything we build and everywhere we go from there becomes infinitely cheaper (including Mars).
The Moon gives us the solar system. Far more than going direct to Mars ever would.
I was so very enraged when they announced that weren’t going to release the (already made) final season. Happy they changed their mind.
Time travel is possible. Changing the future however, isn’t.
It has to do with wave function collapse. The cat is both alive and dead until its observed, at which point the wave function collapses to reveal which it is.
So let’s say you go back in time and successfully kill Hitler. Well you’re now observing that outcome from a tangent timeline. In our timeline, that wavefront has already collapsed. There’s no takesies backsies. Its immutable.
If you can go back and try again, your just creating new wave funtion collapses, not changing the ones that already occurred.
Its like re-rolling a dice because you didn’t like the outcome. You can re-roll as much as you want, it doesn’t erase that first roll; its still there, imprinted on the quantum foam of the multi verse.
If I’m being honest, So many little distros just come and go that I’ve stopped bothering to learn about any of them until they have enough support that I know the devs aren’t going to just vanish in six months.
Sorry kid. Someone’s gotta swing and they weren’t ever going to let it be the rich guy.
Listening to a podcast about the race to the South Pole between Robert Scott and Roald Amundsen.
Amundsen had let it be known that he was actually going to the North Pole before (surprise) turning around and heading south. Then, not only did he beat Scott to the South Pole, he left a letter there addressed to Scott, asking him to make sure it got posted to the King of Norway,
Amundsen with the Big Dick Energy. While yes, it was also a safety measure in case Amundsen and his team didn’t make it back. But the dick move of “Not only did I beat you, please be a dear and deliver that announcement for me” must have crossed Amundsen’s mind at some point.
“There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy…”
Ummmm…I hate to the be the bearer of bad news, but your democracy was born from violence. It’s quite literally the defining characteristic of your founding as a nation.
And I’m not suggesting that there is anything wrong with that. In fact I think the whole “violence has no place” schtick is naive to the core and no real change in history has ever occurred without violence.
The French Revolution was just a bunch of scrubs walking around until someone finally pulled out the guillotine. Hitler was just being “appeased” until he finally crossed a line in Poland. Napoleon laughed off diplomacy until the entire european world said “enough is enough”.
non-violence just delays the inevitable. I’m sorry if that’s an unpopular opinion, but it’s been proven true again and again and again.
