@simongerman600 @milan_janosov Why is it only the northern hemisphere that is different between the two projections? Leaving the southern hemisphere the same suggests that either the world is not spheroid, or the equator is not where we have thought it was.

Another animated true size type of map. This lovely version is from the great @milan_janosov.

@mp256 @pickover No. 6 divided by 1/2 is 12 not 3. 6.divided by 2 is 3.

@matthewjheaney @pickover Like voltage?

@pickover Dude, this isn't entropy. Entropy doesn't mean mere disorder, it means capacity to do work.

@Pirat_Nation Sounds like we have found DOGE's next target: military contractors

A simple software update now lets soldiers use the radios they already carry to stop enemy drones. L3Harris created this new tool called Wraith Shield, which works with their common Wraith radios like the AN/PRC-171 model that many U.S., NATO, and allied troops already have. The radios scan radio waves around them while an onboard computer detects signals from enemy FPV drones When a soldier spots one, they push a button, and up to 40 radios in the group work together to jam the drone’s signal, causing it to crash, hover in place, or return home. The update costs only a few thousand dollars per radio, and soldiers need no new gear or much extra training. It will soon support bigger groups and more radio types later this year. Older anti-drone tools can be expensive or require special teams, but Wraith Shield gives every small unit this capability using equipment they already have. It works best against radio-controlled drones and does not fully stop fiber-optic drones, fully self-flying ones, or specialized military drones. The first units are ready to ship now, and both the U.S. and other countries want them.

@konstructivizm So was there more than one Challenger shuttle? The one I know about allegedly exploded during liftoff.

An unforgettable aerial view of Space Shuttle Challenger roaring off the launch pad on its STS-41C mission — a historic moment in the history of spaceflight.In April 1984, Challenger’s crew carried out the world’s first-ever on-orbit satellite repair. They rendezvoused with the failing Solar Maximum Mission (Solar Max) satellite, captured it, and successfully replaced its malfunctioning altitude control system and the electronics box for its coronagraph/polarimeter. What had been a crippled solar observatory was brought back to life — proving for the first time that humans could service and revive satellites in space. This daring mission opened the door to an entire new era of orbital maintenance and repair.

@gunrights What would happen if 100,000 people registered potatoes as suppressors in one month? Maybe nothing, or maybe it would provide evidence of how not only useless but how detrimental the NFA is. Maybe.

Did you know possessing a potato can land you 10 years in federal prison and $250,000 in fines? That is the reality of the National Firearms Act. An outdated, illogical, nearly century-old law that is long overdue for abolition.

@elonmusknews30 56 but it fades quickly

I didn't even know this stuff was going on. When did Utah stop being a free state? utahstandardnews.com/utah-citizens-…

Because the mainstream, Mockingbird news media/propaganda that reaches you whether you want it to or not, probably didn't think it was important enough to tell you: msn.com/en-us/news/wor…

Nothing like a threat campaign to prove you're guilty of everything the film says you are. #falungong #chinesecommunistparty #liveorganharvesting Chinese Operatives Escalate Threats to Stop Film on Forced Organ Harvesting link.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/china/…

@elonmusk In storytelling, this is called the "setting" or "milieu". It has been understood for millenia that stories are told within imperfect cultural context and about awareness of that context. This extends to characterizations. They're warning that you're about to watch a story.

They give a trigger warning for “Goodfellas”! Seriously … 🤦‍♂️

@iamyesyouareno What do you mean about to learn? Almost everybody I know does this already.

These are literally the most basic tasks there are.

@elonmusk They're competing at Olympic levels for the title of worst governor. Mine is in the running but fell short of the bronze medal.

Tough call 🤔

This is why I never trust anything the NYT says. They have been turned into a genocidal propaganda outlet, a member of Project Mockingbird, and co-opted by oppressive regimes. The New York Times to Attack Shen Yun Performing Arts Again link.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/articl…

Update: Looks like they didn't stall to cheat after all, this time. I am glad, but now I wonder what else they're planning.

When the US population was 100 million more than it is today, we got the election results by the next day. If we have to wait a week to get the results now, they're taking way longer to cheat than they took last time. #electionfraud #Election2024

@MTGrepp YES

Do you support Trump passing a Federal Law for States to require Voter ID’s for future Elections ? YES or NO ?

Dear Trump supporters who are considering not voting because the polls look good, I’m begging you to remember this.

Yes

This loophole of using government to commit crimes for you, so that nobody will be brought to justice for it, is a scheme as old as time. And it WILL be used if given half the chance. Peanut is proof of that.

Because when the government does it, it's for the greater good and nobody can make them pay for what they've done, but if you do it, you go to jail or the electric chair or at least have to pay a lot of money to the people you chose as your victims.

The conspiracy to murder #peanut and friends is the best example I have seen so far to prove that red flag laws WILL be abused, and that there ARE plenty of people who get away with it as long as the execution of such evil is carried out by government employees at their request
