While the concepts outlined in the team’s new paper pave the way toward making travel through space nearing light speed a reality, constructing such an engine is likely something that will only be feasible far in the future, as the present state of technology would not allow for such a device.

If they made a documentary about the life of little Bobby's brain worm, I might watch that. Provided, of course, that it's also narrated by Woody Harrelson.

The funny thing is it was the Trump WH medical staff that was found to be illegally distributing drugs to staffers. Not saying definitively that Trump was partaking, but ...

The media did indeed hype him up for many years, but at least some of us saw past that and realized that he wasn't all he was cracked up to be.

I'm not from NY, but I too was paying attention back in the day and can confirm, the Orange Turd has always been a deranged, self-absorbed, shit stain of a human being.

Almost ironic, isn't it.

As far as I'm aware nothing will stop them from trying to do that. It's up to the judge (or judges if it goes to an appeal) to decide whether their argument makes sense. While I'd hope that a competent judge will see their shenanigans for what it is, I have no doubt that someone has made that strategy work at some point.

To be clear, I'm not a lawyer, so naturally don't take my word for it.

"I was surprised that there were not more objections," from the defense team he added. "At one point, the court ... objected, because there was no objection coming from the defense."

Either they are bad lawyers or they were strategically withholding their objections in order to file the mistrial motion. I fully expect this to be brought up again in an appeal, assuming Trump loses the case.

Just as well. It's still pretty buggy.

FYI: STARC-52845 - "Getting error 30031 when flying to CRU-L1" https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-52845

Note that the IC is being particularly buggy this morning, so don't be surprised if you get an error. That URL was generating a 404 for me earlier when they first posted that MOTD update. Seems to be working now though.

People who say that scientists are paid liars clearly need to meet more scientists.

I've already scaled back my use owning in part to the LLM (AI) menace and general enshitification, but if my country (USA) went fully authoritarian I would definitely scale back my use of the Internet even more.
