  • Russia Launches First Brain-Chipped Bird Drones for Surveillance Over Cities

    Jump

  • Well... The electronics are solar powered, so it's not like batteries would run out. I'm not sure there are really limits on the flight range of a pigeon. I have to assume they'd be allowed to eat.

    I don't think they could cross an ocean.

  • Rightwing critics blame Mamdani as New York snow fails to melt

    Jump

  • Thanks Mamdani...

    This is great! Obama is finally off the hook.

  • Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So

    Jump

  • Only sane post on the page.

    Those are the facts. I believe the pi 4 is what people are whining doesn't exist.

  • Feds Identify “Leader of Antifa”

    Jump

  • I hear he hangs out with anonymous, from the Internet!

  • xkcd #3204: Dinosaurs And Non-Dinosaurs

    Jump

  • That's pretty awesome! I may have gotten old, but I never got tired of learning stuff about dinosaurs prehistoric beasts.

    So what's the deal with the pterosaurs, what makes them "not dinosaurs"? I believe the really weird looking silhouette is a Quetzalcoatlus, that's just fun to say.

  • The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game.

  • Guybrush has it right.

  • Nashville is furious about power outages. Republicans say ‘woke’ is to blame.

    Jump

  • Without knowing anything about the issue, I can guarantee Tennessee energy policies are to blame. And if I had to guess, it's probably the fault of favoring "free market" over "reasonable regulation" and consumer protection type policies.

  • If you had to talk to a stranger, what would you want it to be about?

    Jump

  • An excellent question!

    Hmm, water would be a very difficult (though maybe possible) material to build with. If you used those long balloons, like for balloon animals, and filled those with water, that could make like a semi-rigid beam. Then it's just a matter of using the beams to make a structure, an arm, and a pivot point. You could use unfilled balloons as additional teather and possibly to make a pouch for holding your projectile.

    To help with rigidity, after filling the water balloons, you could then spiral some duct tape around the entire length of the balloon, like wrapping grip tape around a hockey stick, that would keep the balloon from expanding unevenly or bending, it shouldn't flop all over.

    Just to maintain the design themes, I imagine using this to fling water balloons exclusively at little sisters.

  • Americans are exceptionally anxious about their political system, new Gallup polling shows

    Jump

  • Eh, I give the US a solid 40% chance that it won't collapse within the next 50 years.

  • If you had to talk to a stranger, what would you want it to be about?

    Jump

  • I'm definitely an introvert, but you could get me to talk for ages about my personal hobbies and interests.

    Just ask me about space or rockets or airplanes or building trebuchets.

  • What you listening to this week?

    Jump

  • This is the first I've heard Paris Paloma. I like it, it reminds me of Florence and the Machine.

    Also, cool video!

  • What you listening to this week?

    Jump

  • Well I've been playing this game called Pacific Drive. It's a driving game, but also survival horror. It's like Jalopy, but with the anomalies from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The game is fantastic, I highly recommend it.

    Anyway, the soundtrack seriously slaps. They licensed music from independent and lesser known artists for the radio stations, and it's all super atmospheric and perfect.

  • Mayor of Portland, Oregon, demands ICE leave the city after federal agents gas protesters

    Jump

  • Damn, that's really smart. That would probably work.

  • Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are)

    Jump

  • That's a very good analogy. Yeah, this is stupid. What's even dumber than the concept itself, is freaking out over it and selling stocks. This technology should not intimidate anyone, it's impressive by some limited metrics, but it's not in any way effective at creating a video game.

  • Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Ran Kremlin’s Largest Honeytrap and Blackmail Operation

    Jump

  • This is actually starting to make more sense. The whole Russian hotel/piss video thing always sounded like a weak variety of dirt to me. But if Epstein collected video or other proof that Trump was fucking children, and then gave that to the kremlin... Well that is quite damaging information. That is leverage.

  • ICE Goons’ Gunpoint Snatch-and-Grab of U.S. Citizen Thwarted

    Jump

  • There was no law enforcement present, the victim would happily flee to law enforcement...

  • Elon Musk's SpaceX applies to launch 1m satellites into orbit

    Jump

  • Well, this is a stupid idea and it's probably not going to happen. That said, if someone were to do this, it probably wouldn't contribute much to Kessler syndrome because you wouldn't actually want a million free floating satellites, you'd want a million physically connected satellites. Picture satellites designed to link up into a giant grid. Effectively, that's just adding 1 large satellite, built over a thousand launches. And you wouldn't want it in low earth orbit either, you'd want it higher, where it could get sunlight 24/7 365. And at those middle orbits, between leo and gso, there's really no competition for space there, that zone is empty.

  • How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

    Jump

  • Here's what's weird about it, when you have that much money, you don't tend to work for anyone.

    Why get involved in some complicated spy game? You're rich, you don't have to do shit, and in fact you're so rich you can do whatever you want... with children... I mean can you picture those same people who feel they are above the law, being beholden to anyone?
