for those not aware, RFKjr has stated several times be believes animals affected by Bird Flu should be just left to suffer and die in the millions and the few that survive should be the ones bred as they are most resistant

just a tiny bit insane considering that every time a virus survives a host it mutates to try again a different way and that's how you get species "zoonotic jump"

also see from yesterday:

it's going to take decades to unravel all the corruption by this administration

it is staggering

and they are destroying records in violation of law

because "pardons for everyone" on the way out

serious question

for legacy systems, how difficult would it be for an attacker assisted by "AI" to stage the conditions

on a scale of 1 (easiest) to 10 (hardest)

If you don't get what's horrific about this, just a reminder the constitution says only STATES not federal agents have the right to manage voting

Now imagine what's going down after the election, holy hell I am not ready for the nightmare of the next two years

China was rescuing people from floods by drone many months ago

Applying this to war though just means more war

Russia must be completely cut off from the rest of the world financially until they leave Ukraine alone

But unfortunately that's never going to happen, at least not for the next 800 days

now make an option where it's a dumpster on fire instead of a car

is the ability to more easily return samples from Phobos vs Mars because it's a moon with much less gravity?

that seems logical, clever actually they are doing that alternative

but Mars and its moon likely very different composition?

according this much more detailed article they may be designed to intercept

> In April 2026, Russia launched six satellites, Cosmos 2609 through Cosmos 2614, into low Earth orbit (LEO). A month later, five of the satellites executed high-energy maneuvers that raised their inclinations to match the orbital plane of the ICEYE satellite. These moves were unusual because satellites in LEO typically avoid plane-change maneuvers as they require a large amount of fuel

* https://www.csis.org/analysis/could-russia-be-poised-use-orb...

yup they could take any sat that's expired and ready to deorbit and just reuse it for destruction

> a series of manoeuvers by Kosmos2612 starting on Sept 30 were clearly designed to bring the two objects very close and synchronise their orbital periods, orbital altitude and eccentricity

so it's been in planning for a few weeks now

considering the SAR is US owned, that's going to be interesting politically if it suddenly stops responding

ISS has to move out of the way of debris a few times a year now, imagine what that's going to be like next decade

I will never understand how corporations are allowed to interfere in any way with unions

it should be a protected freedom to associate and expression

why is it allowed to be gameified where if corporations can detect it early they can stop it?

hands-off people's lives, unions aren't illegal so no interference

that's fascinating to me as I've not heard any similar feedback and it seemed counter-intuitive

may I ask for how long now? are you athletic? have you experienced any muscle loss?

but what about the people with a BMI already under 20?

not like we can take GLP-1 even if it was affordable

btw soluble fiber helps people naturally secrete more GLP-1 but of course not on the same level as a dedicated drug

exhausting the entire supply of Tomahawks and Patriot missiles will cost exponentially more than $38 billion to replace

CBO is not told about all the military bases destroyed in the middle-east, it's a secret by this administration, so they cannot expense that

and this is not going to end before February 2029

and there is still a billion dollars EVERY day being taken out of the US economy by excessive gas and diesel prices even for those that don't drive

I aced economics in college but I don't get how we are not in a recession

Everyone is putting gas and groceries on their credit cards now, how does that end?

that's yet another "both sides are the same!" fallacy

you are right in that neither can fix it entirely

only one party consistently raises the debt->deficit

and only one party consistently lowers it

hint: you cannot spend $21 TRILLION on militarizing the country and going to war without exploding the deficit, there's no profit in war, only massive expense

* https://ips-dc.org/report-state-of-insecurity-cost-militariz...

and that $21 Trillion was before the Iran War which is going to go on for years and cost another trillion to replace all the weapons and ships, remember all those bases and planes that were destroyed which this administration is covering up

> The red ink has led to dire warnings from economists that the US now routinely runs annual deficits that were previously seen only during recessions

imagine what's going down after two more years of this

Iran War will still be happening at a BILLION dollars a day

gas will still be draining an extra BILLION dollars a day from everyone's pockets

how much healthcare and homes could have been bought with that

Heritage Foundation wants to reduce the US population by 11 million people by 2029

imaging what's going down just before/during the Olympics which I am 99% certain will be boycotted by then

FSD doesn't even work properly TEN YEARS after it was announced

still tries to murder passengers jumping across traffic at shadows

good luck with anything Musk, you are the beta tester, if you die they'll debug it, eventually

well based on the newest data you won't have to worry about anything else after 2050

I knew of the "Great Depression" but you made me learn much more interesting detail

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_of_1873#Factors

has anyone written about what happens if all these billion-dollar-a-pop AI datacenters are actually built

and then the finance paying workload never materializes?

so they just declare bankruptcy and what society just absorbs it?

the starlink that Ukraine relies on to keep innocent people from being killed is not the ordinary starlink and cannot be replaced anytime soon by Europe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starshield

it won't even be replaced this decade by Europe

there's no way to intercept Russia's ballistic missiles without it, too fast too deadly

Ukraine is about to have the most brutal winter this year, I hope they can survive

there is one remaining problem though

and it may be insurmountable, at least for the next 800 days

https://www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track/comments/j6z8eh

"datacenter denial as a service" (aka "Operation Quiet Piggy")

doesn't make up for all the innocent Ukrainians terrorized and killed

but maybe will make the internet a little more peaceful

Putin can end this any hour any day, simply stop attacking Ukraine

are these "alternate cloud providers" inside Russia?

because Ukraine could offer datacenter-denial as a service

the US Government and particularly the military cannot keep secrets the more people are involved

even classified stuff gets out because people brag

I'm not saying this isn't a possible scheme, I'm saying the press will find out very quickly

Plus every state is different system, mostly

What we should be talking about is the clear and documented fact the current administration has outright ignored 250 court orders, including deporting one person three times despite being ordered not to and then ordered to return them

Because after the election, that's when they go scorched-earth and ignoring court orders like cutting down nearly 500 trees in a single day rush before they are caught, well that's nightmare fuel

on Saturday Musk posted "Zelensky has gone too far"

and perhaps this is what he had his people come up with

there are no fallbacks, their Starlink is part of their defense system and early warning network and they are about to go into winter which is brutal there even without ballistic missiles taking out their power grid

they have to hang on 800 more days, unlikely Dems can solve any of this even if they get the Senate because Musk can keep doing whatever in the middle of the night

there's literally no other alternative, at least not this year

and Musk can't even get US security clearance, he's not allowed into certain SpaceX hangars during some operations
