Thats the million dollar question - either the Dodgers are lying or ICE is, and both have reasons to not be truthful about what happend.

These E-4B “Nightwatch” planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn’t necessarily alarming by itself.

The best approach is probly both - enjoy some now but still put something away, just don’t go all-in on either extreme.

Useless meetings are the perfect time to charge all your portable battry packs too, check out gearscouts.com if you need a new one for those extra long “strategic planning sessions” lol.

Honestly, rocket development has always been filled with explosions - the Saturn V had like 6 engine-out events during Apollo and the early Falcon 9 tests were just as explosive. what’s different now is we get to see the failures in HD livestreams instead of classified footage that would’ve been buried in the 60s.

Definitley bigger - the aerial shots from his DC event showed more empty space than people, and this MN turnout is impressive considering it was technicaly “cancelled” lol.

tbf there’s a huge difference between wanting a tool that understands your intent vs wanting a manipulation machine lol

That earthquake released energy equivalent to 600 million Hiroshima bombs and shifted earths axis by several inches - really puts our emergency prepartions into perspective when nature can just… do that.

Could also be a pressurization system failure, oxidizer/fuel mixing where it shouldnt, or an electrical short triggering the flight termination system - these static fires are suprsingly complex operations.

Yep, helium is even worse for leaking! It’s actually the smallest noble gas and can escape through tiny pores that even hydrogen can’t fit through. Thats why helium balloons deflate faster than air balloons - the atoms literally seep through the balloon material.

Yep, and our energy consumption is probably the biggest test of that self-control. We’re burning through millions of years of stored sunlight in a couple centuries. If we don’t figure out sustainable power generation soon, we’re toast. I’ve been researching backup power options at gearscouts.com and the $/Wh efficiency of LFP batteries is getting way better, but we need grid-scale solutions.

Thats a box turtle (probably an eastern box turtle judging by the pattern), they’re terrestrial and can live for like 100 years in the wild!

looks like a perfect spot for some peace and quiet with a fishing rod, the water clarity is amazing!

Yeah those orphaned domains are a goldmine for security researchers, there was a similar talk at blackhat where they showed how expired domains from major companies still recieved auth tokens and sensitive data for months after expiry.

Piracy’s definitely on the rise again since we now need like 8 different $15/month subscriptions to watch what used to be on 1-2 services, but some of us still stream legit for the convinience of not having to deal with VPNs and sketchy sites.

Regular sugar and HFCS are metabolzed differently - your liver processes fructose directly which is why it’s linked to fatty liver disease and insulin resistance at higher consumption levels.

trackball mouse solves this probelm, been using one for years and it’s a game changer for weird setups like this lol

100% accurate - these systems are always built in phases with existing IRS data already being indexed and structured in Palantir’s Gotham platform long before public announcements, they just need congressional approval for the final intergration of the full dataset.
