Not to mention, there is still a scale of size, time and resource contraint. We can’t send humans to Mars with all the tools they don’t know they need yet, just like we can’t send the rovers with all the tools we can imagine.

For humans to benefit from rapid discovery on Mars, they’d need to be able to produce those tools, chemicals, power, etc.

It would take decades to set up anything useful for a longer term mission on Mars, and it again becomes a numbers game. The longer period of time you have to account for, the wider the room for error. I don’t know many people who would be comfortable traveling through space knowing that they may not see Earth again either.

No, going to the moon and back was a week long, and going just TO Mars is 9 months long at the closest point.

Your looking at least at a 10x-20x increase in radiation dose over the mission which would be around 1Sv to 2Sv. That’s a very high lifetime dose in a short period of time.

Open source software does not cause a loss of $ it causes everyone else gain.

I’m of the opinion we can’t safely travel to mars. Not in our lifetimes.

The earth has a nice magnetic field that protects us from background ionizing charged particles, and an atmosphere that catches most other radiation (X-ray, gamma).

The length of time it would take with modern rockets to get to mars exposes the crew to extreme radiation. They could survive it, but radiation over time kills you with cancer, if you survive any acute effects.

We could maybe make superconducting magnets strong enough to create a field to reduce the charged particles, but then you have to keep them powered, and still deal with the uncharged background radiation (mostly gamma/X-rays). You could create a giant cylinder of lead around the crew capsule, but that would take an extraordinary amount of time to build in orbit.

Not to mention once you are on mars, you have to maintain those protections too - the Mars atmosphere is too thin to be very helpful and it does not have a a magnetic core.

There has been a notable lack of progress in that realm, and it will likely remain the reason we don’t see a human to mars program.

Space is an appropriate name. It’s just a lot of space with some hydrogen and helium dispersed throughout.

The heavier elements we measure in stars are such a tiny % of matter they become negligible outside of stars.

And it’s big. We have no human way to comprehend how big it is. I fucking love space.

Finally. CRISPR has been in development for so long I was worried we’d never see it save at least one life.

So I had a couple of married women tell me what was wrong

“You need anyone but whoever took those photos to take those photos. And no selfies.”

So now I have to find people that can take pictures and leave the house. Modern dating standards really are unrealistic.

Yeah, something something right hand rule

I’m sure there are some - particularly around the Midwest there are a lot of giant truck enthusiast types - I have no idea why, other than it might say “I have a farm and big arms.”

So your looking at a $70k vehicle brand new. Personally if I was dropping $70k on a car it would be something far more fun to drive and cozier inside. And electric nowadays. And not Tesla.

But I guess you could still go based on brand - your Mercedes sedan is going to be way fancier than any Ford you can get.

But there are also the types who still think Jaguar is a luxurious brand. IDK.

Or maybe I’m just analyzing the premise of wealth being attractive too much. What I consider something to be valuable won’t be what they do.

I have to read the full text again, and IANAL, but the ruling was former presidents cannot be prosecuted for official acts particularly by their core constitutional powers. It did not rule on unofficial acts.

To me, that means every official act can be weighed against it being in his authority to actually do those things. If he doesn’t have that constitutional power, then he doesn’t get official act immunity.

What the judge did is power granted to the judicial branch by the constitution. That, again to me, says that there is an immunity clause.

But that all is based on the premise that law matters, and it doesn’t given that we’ve already abandoned due process.

Rename yourself Klein Moretti and uncover eldritch mysteries

I’m like 99% sure this might be good advice

(aren’t you always supposed to be controversial?)

I don’t know what’s going on in this thread anymore.

What’s misogynistic about what?

???

This whole thread is about income being attractive.

I didn’t interpret what he said to be a script I should use. It was more of “don’t be afraid of actually using disposable income.”

Ok see, THAT makes sense.

Also helps that I don’t look at prices anyway(not that that behavior is a good thing, I still need to budget for disposable income) unless something looks stupid, like a $200 steak (There is a place here with a $70 steak, I’m tempted to try it one day).

I appreciate the sarcasm, but that’s the thing. I don’t get it.

I don’t know what makes wealthier people look wealthy. You can’t tell a watch is a Rolex from 20 feet away. Tailored Suit and tie? Great, everyone else wears that too.

A house? I can’t bring that with me wherever I go.

A car? I don’t know if you’ve met many women who care about what you drive.

That’s a good point, but it’s still 2.5x the median income for the area I live.

Pfft.

If that were true Id have no problem picking up women.

Actually, now that I think about it, how the hell would I say I make $150k/yr without saying it? You really can’t can you? So how would you attract women with it?

I thought they discovered that most sleeping pills block adenosine clearance. That would mean that adenosine would still build up and you would eventually sleep excessively
