I don't think people realize how significant this is:
@ModalMotors has introduced a drone motor that requires no rare-earth magnets.
Supply chain concerns aside, this is a massive step forward in reduction of cost per unit.
Rare earth magnets run ~$80-200/kg (depending on finish)
versus what these guys are using (ferrite) which is ~$5-10/kg
If these guys really can produce the same torque with this design, and they connect with a few large onshore drone manufacturers this is going to catch like absolute wildfire, mark my words.
If you're in drone manufacturing/hobby drones give this a shot I'd love to see how they perform.

Just ran into Modal Motors. Non-rare earth electric motors for drones and robotics. Similar costs to Chinese motors, all U.S.-sourced. Incredible.

It's really the great crime of the world to see higher-end sports cars driven by decrepit old boomer men at 65km/hr, simply because they're the only ones who can afford them. Redistribution!

“Your punishment for having a knife when they searched you would be very different from the thief’s. For him to have a knife was mere misbehavior, tradition, he didn’t know any better. But for you to have one was ‘terrorism.’” -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Henry Nowak’s murderer received a sentence of just 21 years, because the judge said due to his religion he had a “good legal reason” to carry a large dagger around in public. TWO TIER JUSTICE

I want to be really clear in my response. I am not going to retract anything, I stand by every single word. Labour are calling for me to apologise. The answer is no.
Industrial rape across almost every town and city in Britain.
Sexual torture. Murder. Endless rape.
I sat there for two weeks, listening to these girls.
I heard how one girl was raped by a dog, as Muslim men bet on what the animal would do.
Girls drugged and locked in cages, like rats.
Another, raped by 700 men over three years.
Dozens and dozens of these stories through our inquiry, and we are barely scratching the surface.
This was allowed to happen EXACTLY because politicians were cowards, refusing to discuss it.
I will not make that same mistake. I said what I said, and I meant it.
The Labour Party have blood on their hands, yet they think they can demand an apology from me for highlighting the systemic evil they allowed to infect our entire country?
They can piss off.
I am angry about it. Furious. When you hear directly from these girls about what they have been through, it changes the way you see politics. Forever.
Our report will be out very soon.
When that happens, I don’t want any apologies from the Labour Party. I don’t care about that.
I want to see those politicians responsible for covering up this atrocity behind bars for what they have done to these girls.

@sibinmohan I read the “we exchanged a look” about someone enthusing about thermal protection systems as being a cynical knowing look “she know this is for MIRVs right…”

Met my student’s fiancée recently and she was gushing about how smart he is and then I asked her what she does. Turns out she’s an aerospace+mechanical engineer who’s working on polymers for space vehicles! “Like for Artemis” in her own words!
My student and I exchanged a look.

Not sure what this says because irl the women I meet who think they’re smarter than me are the crystals astrology types but I’ll meet another and she’ll say “oh so you’re *smart* smart” after mentioning my engineering job and then she says she’s doing a PHD in molecular biology

THIS GUY BUILT AN AUTOMATED PIGEON DEFENSE SYSTEM FOR HIS BALCONY pigeons kept nesting on his balcony so he engineered a full detection and deterrent system here's how it works: 1\ camera captures video in real time 2\ an AI model identifies the pigeon in real time 3\ a water gun mounted on servo motors turns toward it 4\ sprays the pigeon automatically the hardware: > an orange pi 5 running the detection model > a disassembled electric battery-driven water gun > USB camera > 2 servo motors for aiming > resistors and a transistor to trigger the water gun the detection runs on an AI vision model (yolo world v2) using the rockchip 3588's built in neural processing unit. the best part is that it's not limited to pigeons. because it uses open vocabulary detection, you can reprogram the target to any object. squirrels, cats, raccoons, whatever is messing with your balcony fully automated, runs 24/7, no manual intervention needed

“They’re gooin’ to do it. Council’s approved it. Trams, Millie. Back in Leeds where they belong.”
“Have you moved the butter dish?”
“Tha what?”
“The butter dish. It was on the left side of the shelf and now it’s on the right side and I’d like to know why.”
“Ah’ve not touched thi butter dish.”
“It doesn’t move itself, Tom.”
(SILENCE)
“Fourteen mile o’ track by 1962. That’s what they’re sayin’. Tha knaws what that means for this city?”
“I expect it means digging.”
“It means connectivity, lass. It means a workin’ man in Hunslet gets to ’is job in twenty minutes instead of-“
“The curtains in the front room want washing.”
“-instead of standin’ in t’chuffin’ rain waitin’ for a bus that comes when it likes.”
“I’m going to need to take them down on a Thursday.”
“Art tha listenin’ to me at all?”
“I’m listening. Trams. We had trams in Guildford when I was small. I don’t remember them being particularly marvellous.”
“This isn’t Guildford. And any road, that’s not t’point ah’m makin’.”
“What is the point you’re making?”
“T’point ah’m makin’ is that this country could move if it wanted to. Industry, transport, t’whole bloody lot. Instead we’re stood ‘ere wringin’ our ‘ands about energy costs like it’s t’end of t’world. It’s not good, ah’ll grant thi, it’s not ideal, but it’s fine, Millie. It’s manageable. Sheffield steelworks didn’t close because of an electricity bill.”
“Mrs. Hartley’s husband says Rycroft’s are letting men go.”
“Mrs. Hartley’s ’usband is a clerk.”
“He’s a senior clerk.”
“There’s a defeatism in this country. That’s what gets me. Every time summat might actually ’appen, somebody finds a reason it can’t.”
“The butter dish was definitely moved.”
“Millie, for t’love of-“
“I’m only saying. I have a system in this kitchen, Tom. I’ve always had a system and the system WORKS and when things are moved about I NOTICE.”

“Ah moved t’butter dish. Ah were lookin’ for t’bread knife.”
“Well. There we are then.”

Is there anything wrong with my diet? I have been like this for years:
10.30am - Full sugar 500ml Red Bull
11am - Tea or coffee and cigarette
12.30 Rice Ball / Gyudon / Saizeriya / Matsuya / 7/11
5pm - Iced tea, Miso and second cigarette
8pm-2am - About ten coffees or cups of tea with lots of sugar, probably hundreds of cigarettes, and occasionally third and fourth rounds of Miso.

One of the most infuriating trends of the woke era people are already forgetting is how professional media would write articles claiming a noncriminal (and sometimes also criminal) but obnoxious, antisocial and disruptive behavior that is correlated with a minority group is good, actually, and the reason you have a problem with it is that you are a racist, or at least ensconced in unexamined privilege.
These behaviors included: Playing loud music in public places through boomboxes or bluetooth speakers, "Showtime" dancers who perform unsolicited and dangerous dance routines in crowded subway cars and then aggressively demand money from all the passengers as compensation for the dancing nobody wanted, unlicensed street vendors selling unsanitary food and "teen takeovers" or "flash mobs." Also, Gawker once wrote a piece defending mugging.
I hope we have finally reached a point where we can all agree that laws and norms are good and that all these things are bad and annoying.

The Sabrina Carpenter incident reminded me of this Atlantic article originally titled “Why do White People Love Quiet?”. The author was shocked that when she went to an Ivy League school her classmates expected her not to blast music at 2 in the morning. Instead of internalizing this is how normal people act she made it racial.

I can’t remember if I made this up but I think a few years ago David Starkey described Anglicanism, approvingly, as “English Shinto” and I’ve thought about it at least once a month ever since 😅😭🙏🏻
