rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon of where they wanted to land

That's Japan, not Elon.

The article says Trump directly. Read the interviews and about his new campaign office in hamtramck.

Fantastic resource, thanks for sharing

Good point, they probably focused this press release on the content of this initial dataset.

Except not.

Harris isn't a subpar meal that makes you sick for a little bit, but you're fine in the long run. She is the candidate that will feed us today while kicking the can on bigger problems down the road. She's the delicious tapeworm pork. She'll keep the economy and war machine running so Americans can keep leading their comfy lives on top of the world for a few more years before collapse. This prolongs the damage caused by the petroleum state that we call America, which accumulates into massive climate impacts.

Trump is food poisoning that is a lot worse in the short term and for America specifically. Another Trump term is likely to lead to civil war and/or national collapse. America focusing inwards may be better for a world that America has been terrorizing and holding hostage with its massive military. America is funding genocides and producing more oil than any other nation in history. America has spent this century positioning itself as an enemy of habitability. If you realize that your survival threatens the world, shouldn't you choose the poison for the good of others?

I suppose it all depends on how long we have until a collapse and ensuing paradigm shift under Harris (a short time will encourage me to vote for her) vs how dangerous the senile old man will be before we can overthrow him and build a new country. Harris is promising too much stability for what we need to replace; Trump is promising to be senile and easy to overthrow.

If Harris wants me to vote for her without hesitation, she needs to tell me how she plans to shut down the fossil fuel industry and the evil war machine. Trump is promising to run them stupidly and dangerously, and the ensuing damage may be better than keeping the planet-killing machine running. That's the horrible decision of this "lesser of two evils" approach. I'd really rather vote to responsibly shut it down, but my options are either live comfortably while it destroys the earth or shove this stick between the spokes and hope that the damage of crashing is less bad than if we keep going.

That said, I already voted for Harris, because that's where my judgement lands on this question. But it's a serious question that needs careful consideration from everyone. This is a big and important election. Everyone should think very carefully and weigh the options. This is NOT an easy decision, and anyone who thinks it is has been drinking the kool aid of one side or the other.

In four more years, my judgement may land differently.

Ok, but what if it's a choice between those moldy potatoes that are poison vs undercooked pork that'll give you tapeworms like RFK Jr's brain.

Surely the latter is the "lesser evil". You get fed today, and maybe your immune system keeps you healthy tomorrow. Still a risky proposition!

But you could also demand that the pork gets cooked longer by adding some progressive policies like not supporting genocide, demilitarizing, and investing in a clean environment. I'd say that's worth protesting for. Be a Karen, ask to see the manager, and demand your pork is cooked properly.

Yeah, I gave up reading at

it’s a shocking reminder that there are forces outside of the internet that still affect our digital lives.

It absolutely depends on the context.

They are!

Electromagnetically and gravitationally and chemically they act like stars.

Gas giant simulations are often performed by stellar codes such as mesa. Stellar physics and stellar simulations with fusion turned off. Morphologically, they are stars. We should move on from the cold war brain's fusion chauvinism.

They are fundamentally different objects than planets. They have their own planetary systems. They're stars, just unlit.

Juno gravity results imply Jupiter's core is dissolved hydrogen plasma sludge, also known as the dilute core model. Kronoseismology (using saturn's rings as a seismograph; Cassini read it like a DVD) implies the same is likely true for Saturn due to the discovery of g-mode waves mixing with the f-mode signal detected by ring occultations.

 

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho.  The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.
