Any trip to Mars is going to involve massive amounts of personal suffering and privation.

Minimum mission duration of 3 years. Living space no larger than a small RV. All the food is freeze dried. Can you imagine the smell that will develop? If anything breaks, it’s on you to fix it, and there is no trip down to the hardware store, and no United Rentals to bail you out. Any medical complication? There’s no ER, just whatever you’ve got in the kit.

And that’s not even starting on the chronic radiation hazard for which there is no viable option to deploy shielding. And a freak solar flare can cook you with acute radiation that will kill you at any time.

Seriously, we’re talking about an adventure that would be way more epic than Shackleton.

Fine.

Although the tenth does end with

…are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Once upon a time, straight outta school, I wrote up solutions to problems from the Serway physics book. For Chegg. $5 per problem.

Fuck Chegg.

The court affirmed migrants’ right to interstate travel,

Fun fact: this is an unenumerated right of the people that courts have consistently recognized. The tenth amendment promises that the people retain their natural rights, even if they’re not explicitly listed in the Constitution.

This is exactly the same category as the right to privacy that was postulated in Roe v. Wade and overturned in Dobbs.

Well, they ain’t starting from scratch, cause they designed a bunch of nukes for the USSR.

They almost certainly have workable designs in a file drawer, and the old facilities are all in Ukraine too. It’s a question of how much decommissioning those got in the nineties, and how long it takes to enrich the uranium.

I just think they’re neat.

What the heck do ya think you’re gonna do with a flare gun?

And they are all welcome back if they can satisfy the Linux Foundation that they’re not affiliated with a sanctioned entity on the SDN list.

Compare with the yearly release cycle on cars.

Musk has a security clearance for the SpaceX contracts, right? Did he file the proper forms reporting the foreign contacts?

Would a fork be technically viable if Americans and American businesses can’t participate (because the fork works with SDN entities)? Maybe.

The reality is that the Linux Foundation is in the United States, and Linus is a naturalized US citizen who lives in Oregon (at least on Wikipedia). So they both will have to pay attention to avoid transacting business with individuals and companies on the SDN list. That is the law in the United States.

802.11ax, clients just… (essentially) wait for a random amount of time, listen for a break in the signal, and take a leap of faith.

Ethernet originally worked the same way, back when it competed directly against token ring. Ethernet won by being as reliable in real world scenarios while being cheaper to build out. Gigabit Ethernet was the first standard that insisted on full duplex only.

Half duplex mode with the collision avoidance is still actively supported for 10/100, but it is becoming very hard to find an unswitched hub. So you may have to write up your own twisted pair cables.

Congrats.

Really I worked a project once that just had post-its stuck to the wall. It worked as well as Jira does.

This is NonCredibleDefense. So it’s true if it would be funny if it were true.

Ukraine gave up those nukes in exchange for security assurances. If Russia is going to go back on its assurance, then Ukraine should be able to go back to the nukes. Fair is fair.

As a former SSR that held nuclear weapons on its territory before 1968, they even oughta be free and clear with respect to the non proliferation treaty.

You forgot the “… Or I’ll break your kneecaps.”

This is a reminder to American service members:

Your oath of allegiance is to the United States, not to Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris. You have a duty to obey lawful orders issued under the authority of the commander in chief. But it is your duty to disobey unlawful orders.

The -V variant gained the Viper callsign. I don’t think it’s correct to call anything before F-16V “viper.”

Unlike many other military aircraft, Wikipedia does not have a complete accounting of every F16 in service–merely saying “4,500+”. So it’s a fair guess that there are still some non-Viper Falcons knocking about somewhere.
