Yeah, but why does that washing machine have a face?

At least give him 35 km/h so he can ride an ebike without getting shocked.

Prepare for the next shot

Pure gold.

Honestly, a nearly uncountable number of options, and you want me to pick one? I’d like to visit the Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds just to see our closest neighbors at the galactic level and look back at the Milky Way. I’d like to visit Andromeda, I’d like to visit all the bodies in our solar system that are large enough to collapse into a spheroid. I’d like to visit Halley’s Comet on the far side of its trip. I’d like to visit Alpha Centauri, just to see our closest stellar neighbor. I’d like to visit the nearest star to Sagittarius A*. I’d like to visit a recently collapsed stellar nursery, and a recent supernova. After the more interesting things, I’d like to see a few hundred ringed planets, a few hundred planets in the goldilocks zone of their stars, some single and binary star systems of all the major types, and on and on.

And if all that was an option, why wouldn’t I want to live forever?

Somewhere out of frame of that video is a cat herder who is very good at his job.

They must have run out of words and got tired of borrowing them from other languages. Those who were still willing were all shipped to Australia? Sounds like a criminal act as far as the British are concerned.

I can’t guarantee it isn’t any or all of those.

I sometimes feel like the British authorities would ban sex altogether if they could find people some other way that would be willing to eat kidney pie.

I can see the argument for DST or no DST. I can even sort of see the argument for DST matching the economic powerhouse a few hundred miles away. But there is nothing in planetary physics to justify 3 different time zone usages in such a small area, with major cities being on a different one than all the area around them, or for one quadrant to be (mostly) different from the rest of it.

Moreover, there is only a 2 hour shift of sunrise/sunset from the peak of summer to the depths of winter. That’s barely enough to justify the hassle of DST in my opinion.

That still doesn’t explain what’s happening in Arizona.

While you’re certainly correct about their posts in the last day, that trend doesn’t extend further back. I suspect they just took Lemmy down a rabbit hole with them.

Now you’re just being obtuse.

The design for coastal barges would work as well in deeper ocean, and the containers already have cooling systems in place. As I said, the only legitimate reason for deep ocean or space data centers is data sovereignty. The rest is just excuses or harder than the existing options. Which is why no one else is doing it and the reason Elon would.

I can accept trophy hunting for population control, but I will still think less of them for wanting to do it

developing new technology

This isn’t as hard as you want to believe, nor would it require a brand new ship. If you want to do coastal designs, there are already some in place. If you want data sovereignty, the only real benefit of space data centers, a small cargo vessel with container data centers and one or more onboard generators could do this. Fueling it would be a challenge, but no more than all the issues with a space data center. As for time constraints, this would still be faster to deploy than any space-based solution.

None of this makes it a good idea, just not particularly novel, difficult, or time-consuming.

This isn’t a new idea. This is a problem that every nuclear sub deals with. From what I can gather, fresh water runs inside the reactor in two separate zones, and after powering the steam turbine goes into the condenser which is cooled by seawater.

However it works, this problem has been solved for decades.

Didn’t that happen once already and it was decided that there wasn’t enough time in the 2 months between the election and the candidate taking power without leaving the citizenry in uncertainty over who was elected?

I was just at a hospital. The doctor had a tag buried among many on her lanyard that showed her title (doctor) and preferred pronouns (she/her). I could have felt attacked, but it’s just a fucking a card displaying how to give the most basic level of respect to a person.
