Question, when you move to a new place in Spain, do you need to register residency with the police?

I don’t know if Spain does that or not, but I think Italy does some version.

The United States doesn’t have that, and doesn’t have a national id card. Although most people effectively register themselves to get a driver license, that is only required if you drive. So voter registration nominally provides some way for the government to get the information on residency, which is important for figuring out which local elections you need to vote in.

Now recently, in the last couple of decades, some states started requiring photo id verification to vote. This defeats the purpose of having a separate voter registration system, because you still have to go to the driver registration system to get either a driver license, or a non-driving photo ID. Nevertheless, the separate voter registration system has hung around in every single one of these states, because the real goal is to prevent people from voting.

Not enough mushrooming in that case.

Here’s another factor: The ISS is in a high inclination orbit that is excellent at overflying most of the US and Russia. Not so great as a base for deep space missions.

Both of these astronauts were multiple-mission space veterans before they left. They have space shuttle experience. Sunita has prior command experience on ISS. These two are basically the most veteran professionals that NASA has on the roster.

They have now been resupplied with clothing on a Progress module. I think it was like 45 days before that showed up.

They have both stated that they’re happy for more time on orbit, and I’m mostly inclined to believe them.

criminal lawsuit?

What? Do they mean “criminal prosecution?”

“gradient descent” is a jargon word for one kind of training method.

Fracking means that the in United States is the chief petro state of the world, and can safely ignore OPEC.

This situation is going to continue in geopolitics at least into the 2040s regardless of what the policy on renewables is.

Well it probably wasn’t a Vic Mackey-style rubber hose attack, because it sounds like this chump is getting hauled into court.

Based on this logic I guess we should see Harris campaigning on ERA any day now…

Here’s the really crazy thing.

Ark City, KS is located on the Ar-KAN-sas River. But this is the same river that flows through Little Rock under the name AR-kan-saw.

Defense Production Act! Bab-ieeee!

I’m thinking of highly niche industrial and embedded products who are likely to be left behind.

A major traditional selling point for Windows has always been the backwards compatibility.

Yeah. This sounds a lot like some PM type thinks they’re gonna get rid of control panel, and they just don’t know what all is actually in there.

And not to mention the custom control panel applets hanging around out there from who-knows-what vendors.

It’s talking about private citizens. But I only know that from history class, not from reading the article or anything.

If you go on Pentecost, they do this thing where they drop rose petals through the oculus at the end of the mass. Something something symbolizes tongues of fire.

Edit: the Colosseum is also technically a Catholic church.

Most of the regular crew gets a sleeping bag in a cupboard with some small locker space for personal effects.

Wilmore has just the bag, off in the Japanese module. And I guess he has to store personal effects in the Starliner. Though presumably he only packed for 8 days.

In climate controlled zero gravity, there’s no point to having more bedding than a light sleeping bag just to keep you from floating off somewhere. My guess is the big selling point on the cupboards is some noise damping, and maybe some protection from lighting. Spacecraft have noisy machines running all the time to keep you alive

But the ads on search are the big revenue driver for Google overall. Presumably those stay with the Google Search subunit, and they would have plenty of cash to do whatever?

But if they’ve only been found to monopolize search, how does that remedy the search monopoly? Presumably the new separate Google Search company would still have a search monopoly.

Incinerated plastic releases green house gases and some amount of micro plastics in the uncombusted ash.

Landfill plastic seemingly just erodes into micro plastics over long time scales.

Well, federal time is 85% time, at least.
