  • Gabbard ‘pushed out’ by White House, source says

    Jump

  • Of course she did! Her job was to disseminate US military and government secrets to all of our foreign adversaries and she did a flawless job. Now Putin has all the US intelligence he needs, Trump has permission to fire her for being a woman.

  • So like how does one get job as fresh graduate?

    Jump

  • I'm in a different field, but my advice is the machine gun method. Go to indeed or wherever, and apply to anything that you're even half qualified for. I sent 10 resumes a day for 6 weeks to land my job.

    It sucks, but that's what you gotta do these days. Also accept interviews for positions you have no interest in just to get the practice.

  • Gonna suggest a kinetic sand table. The tabletop is glass and underneath there's a bunch of sand and a metal ball that rolls around drawing patterns. They're pretty neat.

  • US 'Homeland Security' Twitter account seemingly run from Israel

  • At this point I'd argue that the US government is Israel's puppet.

  • Oh shit he's dead dead. There ain't no way he's surviving that.

  • PBS and NPR are generally unbiased, independent of government propaganda and provide key benefits to US democracy

    Jump

  • Trump is old and frail too! You'd think that a respectable news org like NPR would have spent even a little time covering the credible threats to democracy (and their own funding), and challenging the insane claims from orange man. But no, they had to go on and on and on about how Biden specifically was old and gave tons of credence and and credibility to Trump.

    As far as I'm concerned, NPR bent over backwards to legitimize a madman who publicly declared his intent to destroy them multiple times.

    Jump

  • I love PBS and I used to live NPR until they spent all of 2024 sane-washing Trump and endlessly bashing Biden. When Trump was on stage all but announcing his plans to become a Dictator, NPR was running a week long segment on how old and frail Biden was.

    NPR markets themselves as unbiased public media, but take off the mask (and follow the money) and you'll quickly learn that its a news org for Neoliberal business leaders and noone else.

    Would the creation and implementation of a bona fide Dyson sphere megastructure to capture energy more directly from a star ever be feasible or viable were it to succeed? Can the risk be underwritten?

    Jump

  • Well for starters, you have to put the satellites into orbit. It's gonna be pretty hard to do that without an initial energy source.

    Second, aforementioned effort +thousands of years.

    Third, you are limited by your means to transmit this power, which diminishes as you get further away from the star. Photovoltaic capture abiliy and microwave power transmission capture abiliy drop the further you get away from the star as the energy gets dissipated into the cosmic background. At some point you won't be able to rely on your Dyson structure and will need to rely on a different power source.

    Fourth, these satellites have a continuous upkeep. So it's not as simple as just putting them up there, they'll need to be constantly replaced because they will burn out over time.

    Jump

  • I like Dyson Spheres/Swarms in concept. Is it possible on paper, yes. Is if feasible to accomplish? No. Not even a little bit, imo.

    Any Dyson sphere or even swarm would demand an unfathomable amount of resources, time, and manpower. It would be a mega project that would take thousands of years. You'd need to totally disassemble a cosmic body like Mercury or the Moon to even have enough materials. Even with wildly more advanced tech, you'd end up using an incredible amount of energy to build this, and the EROI would take hundreds more years to ever come to fruition after it's completed.

    I'm of the opinion that any civilization advanced enough to theoretically build such a megastructure has likely figured out a much more feasible energy source by that point.

    What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?

    Jump

  • I have accounts on both. Sh.itjust.works has a piracy community that .world blocks and is still federated with Hexbear for some reason. .world has old.lemmy.world if you liked the old reddit UI.

    Otherwise, not that different.
