I try to minimize my engagement with both of them, but with an Android phone, it’s hard to avoid Google. But I’ll never download or use an app for Facebook.
They gave a presentation on their rotating space hotel at the Space Settlement event in Seattle. They say they’re going to start construction (on the ground) on October 1st.
I’ve known Greg Fahy for decades, going back to Alcor days, when he was doing research on organ preservation for the Red Cross, but which would be applicable to cryonic suspension. He was in Rockville, MD back then, but he’s now in southern California. Unfortunately, it’s out in Riverside, so not particularly convenient to visit him.
One of the things that gave us Trump was the fecklessness of multiple administrations on the Mullahs, who have been waging war on us for four decades. The Bush administration did nothing as they were killing our troops in Iraq, In the case of Obama (and John Kerry), it went beyond fecklessness, arguably, to treason (though there is no formal declaration of war).
Roger Simon says that the attack on the Saudi oil fields was this era’s Pearl Harbor, and it’s time to drop the hammer on them.
Seeing a lot of war stories in comments about the benefits of agitators, or their lack. I guess the lesson is to look at user reviews of washers before buying one.
I’ve been noticing that every time I go to Fry’s the shelves are emptier and emptier, and fewer and fewer staff. I went looking for a graphics card today, and they had a grand selection of zero. They are clearly not restocking inventory. I doubt they’ll make it to the end of the year. Discussion here. I had to go to Best Buy (which was fortunately just down the street).
This is frustrating, because they were one of the last places you could buy computer and electronics components off the shelf. But they couldn’t compete with next-day, or even in some cases same-day delivery from Amazon.
