Read the article, but didn’t see anything about how much thrust is expected. Guessing this is going to be a better ion engine of low thrust/high specific impulse. Which is useful, but mostly for robots.

In his concurring opinion on Dobbs (eliminating constitutional protection for abortion), Thomas wrote:

The Court today declines to disturb substantive due process jurisprudence generally or the doctrine’s application in other, specific contexts. Cases like Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U. S. 479 (1965) (right of married persons to obtain contraceptives)*; Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U. S. 558 (2003) (right to engage in private, consensual sexual acts); and Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U. S. 644 (2015) (right to same-sex marriage), are not at issue.

This is basically a list of precedent cases he wants the court to revisit. The conspicuously absent case is Loving v. Virginia, which is what protects interracial marriage. There’s also a pretty obvious reason why: he’s in an interracial marriage.

Quite the contrary. They base their power on the perception that they have a mass movement behind them. Protests can break that perception. There’s an entire wikipedia article on it:

It’s not time to put away that tool just yet. Protests on a mass scale can do a lot.

You wouldn’t build high speed rail on cargo lines, anyway. New rail corridors need to be established. The LA-Vegas line is being built along an existing interstate, which solves a lot of right-of-way and land usage issues. That’s what you want to do.

I swear, not all of us are sluts. I am, but not all of us.

That comes down to a question of what unit of government was the murder trying to influence. His target was pretty clearly United Healthcare itself, not any part of the government.

Face makeup is too evenly applied.

The problem is that even if it’s still safe now, these changes cannot help, and it won’t be apparent until planes start crashing.

The industry also runs on perception of safety more than the reality. If it’s perceived unsafe, then the industry could collapse quickly.

The argument for the lack of it is that pixel trackers could be used to break privacy.

This shows that the Gemini devs didn’t know what they were doing. You can track people by parsing your server logs if you want. You don’t need a pixel tracker to do that. Limiting images to local server links only would have done the job.
