  • A New Form of Verification on Bluesky

  • I don’t want to know who any of you people are. None of us saw anything. And if so much as a squirrel asks, I’m asking for a lawyer.

  • A New Form of Verification on Bluesky

    Jump

  • Probably but they’ve designated others to do it. Like a trusted organization (Wired or The NY Times) can verify people. Some of the developers seemed hostile.

    But who gives a fuck about a blue check anyway? Even before Elon, it was a gag on Twitter when some fucking moron who interned at Reason or some shit got a big head about it and wrote as a clown to be laughed at. “Some personal news, I’m now the assistant associate dipshit at the newspaper they try to give you for free when you get on the subway.”

  • Harvard Sues Trump Administration Over Threats to Cut Funding

    Jump

  • Yes and their endowment isn’t the same as regular colleges and universities. For one thing, they own lots of Boston properties and priceless paintings that probably aren’t really priced correctly. So, reported value it really an underestimate. But they also have nigh unlimited alumni who donate in the millions because it’s pocket change but they would/could donate a lot more if you pissed them off.

    Trump and Elon Musk are rich to us but Harvard (and Yale and a few others) have alumni who don’t donate “a lot” to the school each year but they have a money cannon ready and can refill the coffers. Stupid mafia tactics aren’t going to work. They will win and you might die.

  • Trump Has Exposed the Fragility of the Global Dollar System

  • This isn’t the first time he’s exposed something no one asked for.

    Why do you think JD Vance killed the Pope?

  • We’ll see how it goes but Francis chose a supermajority of the current Cardinals. With the exception of Cardinal Pizzaballa, I don’t know any of their names, much less their views.

  • Thank you for doing the math.

  • China’s CATL claims to have overtaken BYD on 5-minute EV battery charging time

    Jump

  • The advancements in battery tech are obviously great news but I still have no idea how you’d power a “traditional” charging station (with several terminals) for EVs.

    There’s plenty of time to find a solution to that before today’s experimental battery tech becomes ubiquitous in cars but power generation and infrastructure seems like it’ll be the bottleneck. I haven’t done the math or anything but it just seems like 5m charging of more than one or two cars at once would strain the grid that exists today.

  • What do you think of dome technology do you think it will be practical or feasible in future? especially because we are only 2 years away from artemis 3, do you see them being used on earth as well?

    Jump

  • I don’t think there will ever be domed habitats on other planets. For anything on Mars or the moon, you’re going to have to be underground due to cosmic rays.

    But there always be specialized industrial or scientific use cases. Salt domes — where they store salt after mining it — are one example. A dome is just the best shape to store something like tons of salt. There’s also stuff like local weather radar stations where a dome is the ideal shape since you get a 360° of the sky. Radar isn’t new technology so, unlike a cutting edge observatory that rotates, it’s probably just cheaper to build a dome and buy however much radar equipment is needed.

    There’s also decorative uses (like some churches, mosques, etc.) and sports venues in places with inhospitable climates during the season. It seems like modern stadia (at least in the U.S.) go with a retractable roof but places with bad weather during the specific sport’s season, I would assume it’s cheaper to have a permanent roof.

  • If there’s one thing we can all agree is funny in this time of division, it’s Jair Bolsonaro setting hospital visit records.

    Some things are macabre and funny.

  • My friend has 5 and he basically has to buy a church bus when he needs a new vehicle. Another friend has 4 boys and he just works and coaches. When he invites me over, I always say yes and cancel anything on my schedule because it’s the first 3 hours he’s had to himself all year.

  • This is a stray thought but I don’t know why “douche” became a universal insult. I mean, every woman I know says “douchebag” occasionally so it’s only part misogyny. But no one is in favor of filthy mysterious lady parts. Personally, I don’t want any mysterious holes to be filthy. I hope nutria rats have clean hovels.

    Whomsoever does PR and lobbying for Big Douche is really fucking it up. If anything, hygiene products should be neutral or positive terms. But those douches can’t even get that right. Even Big Hose has better PR.
