This is a seriously cool article. An accretion disk tens of thousands of light-years across is fucking wild. That’s getting awfully close to our own SMBH at our galactic core, sag A* if LID was placed between us and our SMBH.

A fucking plasma of superheated matter from a black hole could be crisping our black hole and Earth simultaneously. Jesus.

Stuff like this is probably mostly tech demo, but there are instances where it could make jobs safer (hot work in locations with corrosive or explosive gases nearby, such as at a chemical plant, underwater welding site, responding to gas leaks, etc.

Watch the USCSB channel on YouTube for good examples of dangerous jobs, such as putting out uncontrolled chemical fires, or performing hot work during the most dangerous times at chemical plants, when stuff is shut down for maintenance and might still be leaking catalysts. Robots could save lives.

Haha, that’s almost impressive. But no, I will not be buying an LG monitor now.

Well, it was. 11 years of landfill leachate have probably taken their toll, not to mention that it was probably crushed immediately under literal tons of soggy rainwater trash.

Life with friends and family is much more valuable than some extra 000s. Money can’t bring them back once they are gone. Nor can it be taken to the next life.

I’ve heard about this dude since like…2018. At some point you have to move on. Shit like that will consume you, and it’s just not worth losing years of your life over it. Talk about a needle in a haystack.

They should be made to wear signs saying that they voted against FEMA packages while touring their destroyed states. Or are they worried they might lose an election if people actually knew their stances?

For example, Amazon Web Services and ad-tech company TripleLift are working with proprietary models and machine learning for dynamic product placement in streamed TV shows. The report, citing a 2021 AWS case study, says that “new scenes featuring product exposure can be inserted in real-time ‘without interrupting the viewing experience.’”

Peacock is also working with TripleLift to develop “In-Scene” Peacock ads that owner NBCUniversal says it’s currently testing:

When a user plays episodic content, your brand’s product or message is dynamically placed in the frame of targeted scenes, creating a non-interruptive ad experience that aligns the programming with your campaign theme/goals.

This could be hilarious when your omegaverse softcore porn drama gets plastered with prune juice, old people pill adverts, and trump propaganda on everyone’s shirts, tattoos, jock straps, voice lines and whatever else the AI can scrounge up. “It totally fits with the narrative!”

Signs and fences unfortunately don’t mean much to US laws, as we learned in a university law class. Look up attractive nuisances. If someone gets hurt on your property, even if you have signs and fences saying “warning: aggressive bull” and they hop the fence and get trampled, they can still sue and win.

This also includes stuff like trampolines, pools, etc.

“Forbidden carnal knowledge” is my favorite

I just finished the original yesterday, after 20 years of playing it! It was quite good, somewhat surreal to finally beat a childhood game.

Heh, the first step in a long series of steps towards orbital shipyards and coriolis-class space stations.

The future is looking bright.

Good, we need more BSL4 labs. The more we cut down forests and push into remote areas where bacteria, viruses, and fungi have always been endemic, the more we risk a catastrophic spillover event that will be magnified by rapid, worldwide flights and climate change making animals and diseases more present around humans. Fungi, for example, are thriving in warmer and wetter winters. We must be hypervigilant about new and evolving diseases, especially ones that might not yet have vaccines developed for them.

These labs will keep churning out research even in the event of catastrophic calamity in areas were most of our BSL4 labs reside (Europe, and North America).

Not downvoting you, but what on earth would need a SQL server to use suspension? It would be far too slow for real-time applications, and this isn’t a rolls royce engine on a jet generating 1tb of data a second when all sensors are active and logging.

This is a mall-mobile that someone will probably total in a power center parking lot in Arizona.

Lol, good luck with that. I’ll stuck with my dumb, subscription-less and app-less ebike. And still manage to beat cars due to insane traffic.

Fuck the dmca!

They know what you did.

Kinda makes sense, though. You can fly from the west coast of the US to South Africa in under 24 hours. Areas that used to take weeks, months, and even years to get to are now under 24 hours and largely less than $5,000 to travel to.

We are gonna get some wild pandemics since anyone can criss-cross the globe so fast.

Its #1, its in the article. Has some forgettable name, haha

We aren’t going back!
