@loyalmoses No relation l'm sure

What?! 😳

@ScottAdamsSays I believe robots will be useful when they can do the dishes. Sort, wash, dry, and put away without any assistance.

Only robots can save us. A non-robot future would guarantee us a crushing debt and a complete collapse of civilization. But. . . a world of robot–delivered abundance could address the affordability of everything: healthcare, food, shelter. And I’m not even sure if debt would still be relevant. Someone talented needs to graph this. It would look like 10 years of crushing debt accumulation ahead of us, followed by something like robot abundance and a rapid lowering of living expenses.

@loyalmoses If you can't sleep well at night, just like I didn't, seriously suggest checking your blood sugar. It may sound strange but if your blood sugar is over 125, say good night to having a good night. You can try and sleep all you want but your brain is running on overdrive.

The workload is catching up to me... I'm having HUGE trouble sleeping, so much so that I have created a terrible pattern, I get 30 minutes of sleep or two hours... nothing in between or nothing longer. NOT GOOD. I don't take sleep aids because they stick with me for 24 hours.

@lost_in_tech That's a sculpture? My 3-year-old is an artist!

I'm gonna get sued into oblivion by printer manufacturers

@eevblog NASA created Artemis to be a competitor to spacex, not subservient to spacex!

SpaceX says they have completed all these HLS milestones. Why have we not seen this stuff before? Or have I just missed it? QUOTE: In parallel to development of the core Starship vehicle, SpaceX’s HLS team has completed 49 milestones tied to developing the subsystems, infrastructure, and operations needed to land astronauts on the Moon. SpaceX has received money only on contractual milestones that have been successfully completed, the vast majority of which have been achieved on time or ahead of schedule. Highlights of completed milestones include: 1 Lunar environmental control and life support and thermal control system demonstrations, using a full-scale cabin module inhabited by multiple people to test the capability to inject oxygen and nitrogen into the cabin environment and accurately manage air distribution and sanitation, along with humidity and thermal control. The test series also measured the acoustic environments inside the cabin 2 Docking adapter qualification of the docking system that will link Starship and Orion in space, an androgynous SpaceX docking system capable of serving as the active system or passive system and based on the flight-proven Dragon 2 active docking system 3 Landing leg drop test of a full-scale article at flight energies onto simulated lunar regolith to verify system performance and to study foot-to-regolith interaction 4 Raptor lunar landing throttle test demonstrating a representative thrust profile that would allow Starship to land on the lunar surface 5 Micrometeoroid and orbital debris testing of shielding, insulation, and window panels, analyzing different material stackups that will be used to protect Starship from impact hazards and harsh thermal conditions 6 Landing software, sensor, and radar demonstrations testing navigation and sensing hardware and software that will be used by Starship to locate and safely descend to a precise landing site on the Moon 7 Software architecture review to define the schematic of major vehicle control processes, what physical computers they will run on, and software functions for critical systems like fault detection, caution and warning alerts, and command and telemetry control 8 Raptor cold start demonstrations using both sea-level and vacuum-optimized Raptor engines that are pre-chilled prior to startup to simulate the thermal conditions experienced after an extended time in space 9 Integrated lunar mission operations plan review, covering how SpaceX and NASA will conduct integrated operations, develop flight rules and crew procedures, and the high-level mission operation plan 10 Depot power module demonstration, testing prototype electrical power generation and distribution systems planned to be used on the propellant depot variant of Starship 11 Ground segment and radio frequency (RF) communications demonstration, testing the capability to send and receive RF communications between a flight-equivalent ground station and a flight-equivalent vehicle RF system 12 Elevator and airlock demonstration, which was conducted in concert with Axiom to utilize flight-representative pressurized EVA suits, to practice full operation of the crew elevator which will be used to transfer crew and cargo between Starship and the lunar surface 13 Medical system demonstration covering the crew medical system on Starship and the telemedicine capability between the ground and crew 14 Hardware in the loop testbed activation for the propellant transfer flight test which uses a testbed with flight representative hardware to run simulations for the upcoming propellant transfer flight test

@eevblog Oh, don't worry. You'll be a commie tomorrow.

Yesterday I was an alt-right nazi, today I'm a left liberal. Ah, the internet...

@Local_man2479 Fun fact. Joseph Smith was an abolitionist. He ordained black men to the priesthood making then equal to white men. Many from Missouri and Mississippi apostsised calling him a false prophet. Many of these participated in his martyrdom. He died restoring the priesthood to all.

Joseph Smith will hate me for being black. It is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I wonder how some of you, after being born in America 🇺🇸, still act very dumb. JOSEPH SMITH ordained a black person, but Brigham Young didn't. Aside from Jesus christ, Joseph Smith is the greatest man who has ever lived. offense intended.

@eevblog I have Capacohmeter envy. 😞

Do YOU have a Capacohmeter?

Yes this is exactly what we speak of. Jesus went to those who are in need. His arms are open to all. Jesus said pick up your cross and come follow me. But there were many like those who heard him on The sermon on the Mount or the wealthy young man that listened to him but decided to go their own path. So yes all is welcome in the church to follow him, not on their path but on his path.

We need to note that the Church, which is the body of Christ, is not entirely free from errors. To this day, there may be evil men still operating within the church; however, this doesn't discredit the doctrines and formation of the church from its primitive church in Antioch. The church is still the same, but with some imperfections, as it was before.

@Local_man2479 I've been to the Manhattan LDS temple complex and it's great! Church and Temple in one place. On another note I've been following you for a couple weeks and I love your post they're excellent!

Will this actually become a Temple?

@eevblog AI with a sense of humor. Disturbing.

WOW, Youtube automatically picked the exact thumbnail frame that I chose. Spooky.

@Local_man2479 That would be great about time! Also someone from mainland China would be nice.

Seem a black apostle has been called.

@3DPBelgian Clean that wound thoroughly and get yourself some antibiotics! Otherwise you might have to knock out a tooth so you can drink through a straw once you've got lockjaw.

I stepped into a rake outside barefooted and tore off a decent size of skin and now I'm in bed with a throbbing foot. Wife bandaged it up but god it hurts rn lmao. Probably will need to keep a eye on it for infections because it was kinda dirty and outside

@eevblog I'll be right over!

Burgers on me!

@FiredUpCoug Unshelled. I'm way too lazy and impatient!

Pistachios, shelled or unshelled? This is important, let me know.

@BarclayDavidP @ZacksJerryRig @Rivian Magnuson Moss expressly forbids this unless.. the part is not available anywhere else. Or the employed a trick like the leader Volkswagens that required the computer to be reset after a battery install. And who has the reset tool? Volkswagen dealers

@ZacksJerryRig @Rivian This is illegal under the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act and FTC Rules. The manufacturer can't condition the warranty on using their own parts. 15 USC 2302(c).

I'm disappointed with @Rivian. My 12v batteries died after 3.5 years. Which is fine. It's a very common and easy repair to perform. However - Rivian won't sell me a 12v battery to install myself. And they say if I buy anything off the shelf it could void my warranty. The kicker? Rivian charges $775.04 dollars to replace the two 12v batteries. (That's what I paid for my first car and it came with a 12v battery.) I could snap my Cybertuck in half and @Tesla would give me a manual on how to glue it back together. But Rivian won't even let me replace a 12v battery on my own. 🤯 I don't like being extorted for consumables. Let me maintain my own truck.

@BradWitbeck @FiredUpCoug Good advice I appreciate it!

@PhotonCast @FiredUpCoug Both! Primarily through paid advertising, but interacting with will also help. It kind of depends on whether you have more money or time.

I own a board game company which makes games specifically for LDS families. It just launched earlier this year, and now I'm trying to figure out how to get the word out. Any suggestions?

@BradWitbeck @FiredUpCoug Great insight although I have a question. When you say "aiming for" do you mean interacting with or advertising or both?

@FiredUpCoug Well, when it comes to marketing to a Latter-day Saint Audience on Facebook, I've found success in aiming for fans of BYU, Psych, and the Princess Bride. Considering you're doing board games, I bet you'd have success aiming for people who love Settlers of Catan 🤣

@eevblog I don't think that would feel good.

Slide time...
