I could actually see this being useful for dangerous working environments like steelworks or inside nuclear facilities. As long as the control system is on a separate intranet that’s properly air gapped.

You should still pay the operator their full wage though. The human still needs all of the technical knowledge to do the job, you’re just removing most of the physical risk.

Eating any rare wild game is stupid.

You’re eating a wild animal, you have no idea what it’s been eating, drinking, or rolling around in. Cook the hell out of it.

Last time I made elk, I slow cooked it for like 8 hours. It was fall apart tender, but it had been in boiling broth for many hours. You can make delicious meals with wild game, you just have to cook it right.

That’s kind of like saying that ford can’t make a model t anymore.

I’m sure they could, there’s just no reason to.

I’m also sure the contractors that built the Saturn V, those that are still in business, could build equivalent parts today if the government asked.

The Saturn five was an absurdly large rocket designed specifically to get 3 people from earth to the moon. It was insanely expensive per launch, and the only reason it ever flew was because the government was writing nasa blank checks in order to beat the soviets.

Today the government wants a reasonable dollar figure for a launch, and the days of spending a billion dollars per launch are long past.

That’s an extremely bold assumption.

The space shuttle was designed originally to be rapidly reusable, but its shortest turn around time was still measured in weeks, not days.

And its main engines only produced water as a by product, no soot or carbon deposits to worry about.

There’s a bunch of hacked chalice dungeons you can join that essentially give you unlimited blood echoes.

The party of conspiracy theories is eating itself due to conspiracy theories.

That seems about right.

The “front” or “forward” direction of a screw is clearly the face of the fastener itself, be it a hex head, Phillips, or Slotted screw. Picking a side of a face as the front doesn’t make any sense. The whole thing needs to rotate one direction or another, and it will either rotate to the right to tighten, or the left to loosen.

If I ask you what the front of a clock is, are you going to tell me it’s the top curve near the ceiling? No it’s the face of the clock, and the hands rotate around it to the right.

The whole thing is rotating to the right, that’s what clockwise means. Clocks rotate to the right. One arrow is not pointing left, it’s pointing in the direction of rotation, which is to the right.

Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with Trump and the GOP giving said oligarchs a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

The country got robbed, they got the profits, and now they want to get in the cookie jar again, and we’re going to be left holding the bag with another trump term.

I can only hope he’s so incompetent that none of project 2025 gets moving beyond more tax breaks for billion dollar corporations. If they gut the government like is planned, the country is going to fall apart like the Soviet Union did.

The US did it.

We were invading the Middle East since before I was born, and I almost signed up to get free school when I wanted to be a doctor. I would have likely treated soldiers that were still being wounded in the Middle East.
