This is also how passive RFID tags work, the tag harvests just enough energy from the scanning frequency to boot up a microchip and respond with its ID number.

Worked well enough in Battlestar Glactica. Saves space and construction cost too compared to having two entirely separate rooms, or alternatively allowed for more toilets in the same space.

Accidents are always going to happen, but people falling onto the tracks is a very routine, predictable, and common occurrence with a well proven and widely implemented solution.

There are always going to be other things to spend money on, but the budget exists to serve the populace, which is why governments figure out what needs to be done, and then figure out how to make that happen.

In before LibertyHub remembers that at best his replacement is a tough on crime cop known for pushing for longer sentencing of drug charges.

I worry that a lot of the left is going to be hesitant to turn out to vote for a tough on crime cop so soon after we had nationwide protests against people like her and at a time when the stop cop city protests continue to get national coverage.

Meanwhile, I bet Fox is already talking about the DEI hire who never would have been hired to be anything more than a waitress if not for reverse racism.

And we haven’t even gotten to the chance that she isn’t even allowed to show up on the ballot in some Republican ran states because the deadline for submitting candidates already passed or whatever.

And that, ladies, gentlemen, and others, it why some nations have foucused on installing platform screen doors in their stations.

Honestly, the climate crisis seems to be a subtle or explicit theme of a lot of what Hollywood makes, staring in everything from Waterworld and Mad Max to Pacific Rim and Don’t look up, and if anything might be overrepresented in speculative and science fiction.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing now, but to say that Hollywood doesn’t have anything that talks about the climate crisis seems to say a lot more about the author’s either media literacy or taste in movies than it does about Hollywood itself.

Some people still go through life without posting or taking much on the public internet at all, instead socializing at work or bars. Incomprehensible, I know.

Well you were just suddenly teleported into the world, so I guess the question is, do you want to find out?

I mean despite the oil companies whining about how important they are oil represents what, 3.5 percent of Canada’s GDP?

I’m not exactly sure what someone working for a Murdoch outlet expected would happen.

The hard part is that it would certainly need to go through Congress, and they have a minority in the House and only a technical coalition in the Senate. He can talk, but not much can be done without wining control of the legislature in the next election.

 

Not sure if this fits here given it’s more foucued on prek-12 than Academia, but I figure it impacts the students going into college quite heavily and most of the same points still apply.

 

Evidently the joints on the flaps still need a little work into not letting gases through, but it seemed to still have enough actuation to keep the spacecraft stable until the engines took over for the landing burn.

Party of personal freedom everybody.

 

Come for the two hour review of Rings of Power by a guy who has elvish on his wedding ring, stay for the Hbomberguy style twist into discussion of the way the far right uses the appearance of media criticism to radicalize vunrable young men and draw them into the manosphere.

It’s their first ever attempt to launch a Vulcan, and their launching an lunar lander. Window opens at 1:53 AM EST. Here’s to hoping for a successful launch.

Edit:

Liftoff at 47:40.

We saw a successful launch, translunar injection, and the Peregrine lander successfully powered on before detaching from the Centaur upper stage, which proceeded to relight its engines and complete a burn into a solar orbit at part of its memorial mission.

The lunar landing attempt is expected to be on Feb 23, and it is expected to remain operational on the surface of the moon for at least ten days.

According to NASA, “-Scientific instruments will study the lunar exosphere, thermal properties of the lunar regolith, hydrogen abundances in the soil at the landing site, magnetic fields, and conduct radiation environment monitoring.”

More on Vulcan and its history.

 

I don’t think that this has been posted yet, but if not here’s the summary.
