  • NASA says astronauts stuck in space will not return on Boeing capsule, will wait for SpaceX craft

  • My understanding is that, in retaliation to US sanctions imposed at the start of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia stopped providing RD-180 rocket engines that were used in the Atlas V. My surprise is that the USA relied on Russian rocket engines to put national security payloads into space.

  • Has anyone tried any 3d scanning solutions?

  • Not sure of any beginner FAQs on scanning.

    I guess it all depends on how much scanning you plan to do, the size of things you want to scan, and how accurate you need the scans to be. Out of curiosity, what are you looking to scan? Is it something that can't be modeled in CAD software?

    At the risk of giving you yet another option - Teaching Tech did a video on a neat scanning rig called the OpenScan Mini. Looks like someone linked OpenScan below as well. You build it yourself from electronic components, a pi, a pi camera, and some printed parts. Results look pretty decent for what it would cost to build, and probably worth the time and effort if you plan to do lots of scanning.

  • I hear the term 'broken up' a lot in media and discourse, but it's never explained. In your eyes, what actually happens when a government 'breaks up' a corporation? I mean, what are the steps, objectives, and outcomes?

    Not being adversarial, I'm just curious.

  • Ahh, the US-Russia summit in Geneva in June 2021.

    U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose countries hold 90% of the world's nuclear weapons, agreed at a June summit in Geneva to embark on an integrated bilateral 'Strategic Stability Dialogue' to lay the groundwork for future arms control and risk reduction measures.

    Reuters - U.S. and Russia say they held 'substantive' arms control talks in Geneva

  • It's cryptofascism. The 'OK' hand gesture, this - fascists will call you crazy if you get upset about it. But every little thing is a seed planted.

    Unfortunately this fascist attitude doesn't end with a Trump electoral defeat. These seeds are finding fertile soil. They are growing into something.

  • Before this is all over, MS will be charging users to extract their snapshots from a proprietary cloud-only one drive account. The recovery process will take about 3 hours, and involve scrolling through ai-authored help articles that don't lay out clearly and methodically how to access the old snapshots. The comments on the help articles will begin with "Hello sir, can you confirm that you have followed the steps at this link?". The link, before delivering you to an irrelevant solution, will shunt you to a landing page that forces you to log into your microsoft account before you can see the answer.

  • 49% of independents, 15% of Republicans think Trump should end campaign: poll

    Jump

  • It's so baffling though. Sincerely believing "these are just left wing accusations" and maga/swamp slogans, maps onto "the judge had a conflict of interest, this was a witch hunt" etc., by the exact same route of illusion.

    The only way I can make sense of this, is to assume that we're not really dealing with sincere belief. It's hard to imagine a rational Republican that stood behind the former president through everything since the birth certificate thing, and are now somehow chastened. Maybe they simply think it'll be a bad look for their guy to be wearing an ankle bracelet on inauguration day / in the first 100 days in office, and it will compromise their party's future election chances. A question of 'ick' factor, and not some extension of actual values and beliefs, like we might hope. "Convicted felon" is a soft Dean scream, maybe.

  • It's true that sex wasn't paid for. The role of pressure in this case is complicated.

    If anyone is curious to read Daniels' own words on this, check out the pdf court transcripts for May 7th and May 9th.

    The transcripts are long, but interesting, and worth reading if you have a few hours. As a normie, I was only interested in the sex stuff. The facts surrounding documents seem pretty clear.

  • Teen who ate spicy tortilla chip died of high chile consumption and had a heart defect, autopsy says

    Jump

  • So bad it's good. Personally, I like the description text on the video that makes it seem like the teen who was autopsied is speaking:

    An autopsy of a Massachusetts teen who died after participating in a spicy tortilla chip challenge says he died from eating a lot of chile pepper extract, and 14-old Harris Wolobah had a congenital heart defect.

    Editorially, it's a hilarious article. Though, respect to journalists out there. This might be a situation of, "Johnson, I need that tortilla chip death article on my desk in 5 minutes".

    edit: Per the correction in the article, I guess AP style guidelines dictate 'chile' instead of 'chili'. It looks super weird to me!
