Your comment, and the one above you, has led me to a new phase;

“That’s a greed thing to do”.

It’s not quite grammaticality correct, but it is the correct answer to the question of “why did that corporation do that?”.

I was always told that greed was bad, a deadly sin even. And yet, there are laws that require corporations to pursue greed as a policy. Not that those laws are needed , but they are used as cover for evil behavior.

Far too many idiots believe the grifters known as “ancient alien theorists”.

The mystery of the pyramids really comes down to that pointy tip that no longer exists.

See, a flat topped pyramid is actually fairly straightforward to build. A pointy pyramid with straight sides is not.

None of the current mainstream theories of pyramid construction can actually account for that pointy tip and the very large stones found just below said tip.

An external ramp would eventually be made of multiple times more material than the pyramid you were working on, and would cover the sides, making the alignment of the tip impossible.

An internal ramp can not put a tip in place. Also, recent experiments with placing nutrino detector all around the Great Pyramid have given us a sort of MRI, and there’s no evidence of an internal ramp.

In both cases, alignment and straightness are basically impossible.

It’s this gap in knowledge that the grifters use to make people dumber, while taking their cash.

Thankfully there’s a fairly new theory of pyramid construction that actually explains everything fairly neatly.

You build a step pyramid with built in ramps that’s larger than your final pyramid, then disassemble it from the top down as you smooth the sides. You don’t have to align the tip with the sides, you just make the tip perfect and maintain that angle as you work downward.

The removed stone then gets used in the next, smaller, pyramid. And since the Egyptians absolutely loved recycling things into other things, it makes sense on a cultural level as well.

What’s wrong with no-script? I’ve been running it for years. It’s a lifesaver.

Israel was a product of the British and French antisemites of WW1.

There were Zionist Jews who tried to join WW2 on the side of the Nazis, but the Nazis told them to fuck off.

That particular group, Lehi, then just adopted Nazi race science but swapped themselves in as “God’s Chosen People”.

This made the group especially murderous.

In the 1980s, a former Leader of Lehi became the Israeli Prime Minister and oversaw a fairly brutal period of oppression of the Palestinians.

That particular asshole was also Netanyahu’s political mentor.

But no, the Rat Line did not go to Israel, or Mandatory Palestine as it was known as before 1949.

Yes. Yes it does.

Average car of the 1970s.

It can, or it can feed the ecosystem and cause a boom in fish populations. It really depends on where the bloom is and how big.

Maybe. Could be yours, could be anyone’s.

There’s also the, cause massive algae blooms in-between shipping lanes to try to soak up lots of carbon.

The method is by dumping millions of tons of iron ore dust into the open ocean.

One guy tested it, and it did cause an algae bloom. He didn’t do smaller scale tests, just dumped a ton or so of iron ore dust into the ocean.

Tannerite comes to mind. It explodes from a high impact, and little else. I’m not sure what sort of yield you’d get. That stuff mostly just makes a pop and smoke.

I have heard of people using it on stubborn tree stumps, but that’s several pounds of the stuff.

Atomize, from the original Ancient Greek adjective atomos, meaning “uncuttable” or “indivisible”.

Seems pretty apt to me. You have rendered it into its smallest constituent pieces through physical means, any further reduction requires chemical processes, or high energy physics. Coincidentally, a simple spark provides both.

As the bps space YouTube channel has shown, reliability is paramount in any launch, especially a guided launch.

That and people duck when shit flies at them, unless it’s supersonic, which again, as bps space has shown, control of a supersonic flight is extremely difficult to get right.

This is a guy who landed a hobby rocket like a tesla booster.

But at $100 a pop, you could have backups. (or payloads)

I wouldn’t say that an alcoholic in his 70s who died from cerebral hemorrhaging was assassinated.

Stalin spent the last 15-20 years of his life getting blackout drunk every single night. He also forced all of his top ministers and generals to join him in this drunkenness.

The full story is wild.

Then when Stalin died, everyone sort of knew that he was having a medical emergency, and they left him laying on the carpet to die for hours.

Which is also a wild story.

The areas where most food grows will be rather hot and dry, but with lots of storms.

Some years will get things like atmospheric rivers that flood everything.

Extreme weather events will be the new normal basically everywhere.

Zuck is on board with destroying democracy as much as Theil, otherwise Zuck wouldn’t have personally hired Joel Kaplan back in 2009.

And everything else, including via the little Facebook button on various pages.

That particular archive has a nasty habit of changing the content of saved articles, and then hijacking your browser to launch DDoS attacks on people the secretive owner of the archive doesn’t like.

That power grid thing is what will ultimately pop the bubble.

The lack of last mile fiber is what popped the dot com bubble.

Turns out, spending a fuckload of money on unusable infrastructure is a bad thing.

Too cautious, management wants movement on this, not deliberation. Setup a tiger team and give me an action plan asap.

Don’t forget his child porn image generator, what sort of training data did he use to get that result?
