An idiot with a camera.

You can't obtain all knowledge from unmanned craft. If that were the case, Apollo would not have existed and robotic landers would have been sent there by the dozens in the past 50 years. Sure, send robots, even extremely advanced ones to the Moon, but to do the actual research, you need a base there. One PhD level scientist can do as much as 100 robotic missions, operate autonomously and quickly.

Commercial, branded products go into space all the time. The ship is loaded with iPhones and iPads and Nikon cameras. Nutella is perfect for spaceflight.

Banding together 1000s of people, artists, craftsmen and artisans to spend 300 million over 2 years on making a shit movie, because you didn't have one person to spend the early time to write a good script and then also didn't have someone else to double check that it was good for some pizza money, but you then always had a third guy with a lot of money and with a huge ego pissing all over it and deciding for everyone that it should be shit.

These protests are basically organized "standing around." Actual protesting is stop working, stop paying taxes, disrupting vital services and preventing the government from functioning. My concern is that you can draw a crowd, maybe a big loud one, but no next step is taken. You just go home and go about your day after the comfortable "protest." Real protesting carries great risk, but also gives you much more power. Don't be proud that these protests are peaceful. MAGAts don't care about that.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is there are special optimized versions of DOOM that run on it and you should want an accelerator card for it. There are cards for it fast enough to run Quake 2.

Does that mean you can't grow sunflowers there, if you wanted to?

It's probably the Shahed 131 model with a small wankel engine. They sound like razors or vacuum cleaners.

Trump is just the front figure of a larger organization that isn't about what Trump wants. ICE is a litmus test to see if the population reacts to a new army that only answers to the Trump administration. Sooner or later, it won't be about immigration, but about general population control and using many, many more of these thugs to force compliance. Whether that leads to a civil war remains to be seen, but these people would be that army that civilians would have to fight eventually.

I don't think the war gonna be particularly civil.

Weirdly many come out of the woodwork now to say "yeah, they weren't funny", but they *were* quite funny any many people I know enjoyed them. It was just sad and shocking to see Scott Adams go where he went, so it just got weird to read them.

Those were different times. Nixon ended up voluntarily leaving office and the country moved on. This is not an administration that intends to do that. They'll happily sink the country into chaos and keep it there.

That picture of Lars Løkke might be 15 years out of date at least. He looks like this.

Japanese kids go out on their own earlier than in other countries, because they typically live within walking distance to school, markets, clubs, friends, etc. 5 year olds can walk dogs. It's important that they can handle themselves via early training, but their city environments are also built for walking.

I'm not sure they cover the same use case. The Mowrator can be fitted with a snow plow and can work unprepared, hard to access yards, go under trees and up dangerous slopes. There are many remote controlled mowers like it for landscapers. Robomowers are for continuous maintenance of already prepared lawns and require training.

Why haven't we figured out to just tell them the opposite of what we want them to do.

They aren't doing it for men. They are doing it to compete with other women that also do it.

IK is perhaps one of the most important inventions in CG animation and is used in games all over. There is a problem of keeping contact with surfaces and objects with arms and legs. Climbing stairs or holding an object (weapon) and have the contact point not move. IK vastly simplifies this and as a bonus, the process can be automated. If you specify the contact points, the legs can automatically move to the contact position by proximity, by just moving the body position. Also used in robotics.

The entire cast just doing a completely different movie would be fun.
