It’s more of being able to know why some elements can’t be created. There’s a large chunk of physics that we know how it works (stellar collapses or atomic collisions), and we know what to expect, but we don’t really know the ‘why’ to large chunks of it. Meaning any predictions beyond that, are just extrapolating guesses based on what we know. Filling in solid theory on the nucleus gives us a whole new range of experimentation to find new physics.

That sounds like it might be huge if it holds up. Especially if it can accurately predict much larger isotopes.

Let me know when they have an amendment to end partisan gerrymandering.

Yeah I just started a rewatch of the series, it holds up pretty good over the years.

Fuck, I’m a colonel in a nazi POW camp. Great show, but I never want to live in barracks.

Write your own responses and stop using AI.

If it’s created for profit, it will be abused. Profit motif never ends with the first dollar made. Every effort will be made until it’s in places it shouldn’t be, without restrictions on what it’s used for.

Surveillance states are never created to protect the population. They’re created for profit, to protect profits, or to suppress organization the administration doesn’t like.

Never said it was an easy lift. There’s a long road between where we are and a functioning society. And currently most of Europe is in the lead.

We need legislation with teeth before they manage to get this in every house. It’s going to happen. Your phone, TV, doorbell, car, crosswalks and street signs are all going to be recording and tracking you eventually. Just recognize that’s going to happen no matter what, and get real oversight and rules into place now. If we wait until it’s all locked, the ruling party will never let it end.

To be fair, they’re a gun manufacturing lobby, not really a gun rights lobby.

I’m not talking locks, I’m talking manned road blocks. They can blast through if they want, but that’s just going to be a bigger warning.

Residential neighborhoods need to add gated entries. Lock out anyone without a reason to be there, and make ICE announce themselves to gain entry.

These MFs right here need to have their phones, emails, and mail boxes full. And they damn well better know if they cave on this, they’re getting voted out.

I thought the 25th only needs a majority of the cabinet plus the VP to invoke. Honestly less likely than getting 2/3 of congress on board.

True the battery tech is really coming along, going to be interesting to see what prices are like when I go to replace the 22kwh worth of batteries on my boat next year. The fight between cheaper tech, inflation, and tariffs is going to be a nail biter.

It’s interesting, but even if it’s reaching near rare earth strength, can it be produced at scale? A less powerful magnet is useful if it can be cheaper.

It turns out the book store will keep selling you books to burn.

A little bit noisy, but it really depends on a lot of factors. Firmware and controller board can make a difference in stepper noise, as well as age and friction. If it’s a new printer, check that your firmware is updated, and all your bearings are moving free and smooth. As long as that’s all up to spec, rock on till something doesn’t print.

Apparently they’re looking at tying together hundreds of stand alone generators from Caterpillar.
