It’s too hot to commit crime

Point 1: this thing will definitely exist because we already see parallels to it

Point 2: this thing won’t exist because there’s no reason for it to

Is the current president and former vice president capable of being president… tough question.

Yeah extracting it isnt difficult but putting it back in… i dont think can be done with blades

Yeah, thats what my doctor recommended for me. I just really hate needles

And then theres rh null who cant recieve from anyone basically

If that came out it seems like it would kill the idea of federated servers running lemmy

Sounds like former son should adopt not dad

I thought Lemmy was open source? So we would definitely know if shadowbanning was a thing?

Besides that, anyone who runs their own instance would definitely know about shadow banning if it were an option, yeah?

I figured we’d just power it with solar. If not ground based, then an array in lunar orbit. Probably a mixture of both.

Well, despite my blunder, my original thinking was that unstable orbits do exist, and you would in theory be able to bleed of orbital speed. The issue is that that orbital speed would be converted into potential energy without an atmosphere.

It would be much more long term but we could make a space tether in orbit of the moon. As asteroids are flung to the moon it could catch them and gain angular momentum as the asteroid loses speed. We’d just have to find a way to bleed that angular momentum. It could be for return packages to earth, but with the rail gun already in place, that seems somewhat useless.

On the other hand, it would be difficult to aim the rail gun, whereas the space tether would be somewhat easier to aim.

Hmm… yes.

Moon factory, rail gun

I mean it sounds simple, obviously doing that we be a ton of work, but it seems very feasible. And doing that would be an incredible starting point for space industry. From there, we could send out automated probes to capture trojan asteroids from earths orbit and launch them into lunar orbit for collection. We could even put them in a non stable orbit that bleeds off orbital speed and eventually they bleed off enough to land while staying in almost one piece depending on the type of asteroid.

How do you say “nice cock bro” in Japanese? All I know is oishi nekosama

We can absolutely go way faster. The fastest thing we’ve ever built is currently the parker solar probe. Relative to the sun, it’s traveling so fast it could do a flyby of earths entire width in (I’m just guessing, don’t quote me) probably a couple seconds.

The real answer here is to do away with gender/sex separation and instead have classifications based of total mass, bone density, muscle fiber density, and maybe hormonal levels. Stop trying to deal with the generalistics and target the issues that actually matter.

I mean, by that point, the entire lower class is gone. Which makes middle class the new lower class. Things won’t change until he starts targeting oligarchs or their families.

Are istari the creations of the Miar? I kinda thought gandlaf was a Miar, but I might have been getting the two swapped

I’m paying this comment from a 20$ Walmart phone

He won’t and probably not. The only way he will order a nuclear strike is if Russia is about to be dissolved or if he is about to be overthrown. Unless Russians financial situation gets a LOT worse, there is no risk of Russia dissolving, as Ukraine is not seeking to invade. Putin will not be overthrown unless he dramatically steps up conscription and starts targeting oligarchs families as conscription possibilities. He knows that to do so would be suicide.

In either scenario, once it has reached that point Putin will have pissed off literally every single person that matters and they would have no reason to listen to him.
