Word is the Indian lander has successfully touched down near the south pole of the moon about an hour and half ago. Now waiting for the moon rover to start come out Basically India did what Russia failed to do. If there is water there, hopefully they find it! :D Yes Russia seems like they rushed th...

"WE DO THIS FOR THE GLORY OF RUSSIA!" (cue massive failure) Yeah.. things are not working that well for them. Any word on the Indian rocket? Word is the Indian lander has successfully touched down near the south pole of the moon about an hour and half ago. Now waiting for the moon rover t...

Given that they don't have that much source material for what they want to present on streaming (50 hours), I think they are doing great. Stunning visuals and epic story. Though I do wish Galadriel talked more about the Simarils, the oath of Feanor, and the war of the Simarils which les up to the wa...

Let's hope we have an American President like Kennedy who can say no to the military hawks (like during 1962) and someone similar in China.

Well Sheev Palpatine who was a selfish megalomaniac, and psychopath, treated his mental ailments by murdering his own family taking on a Sith title, and murdering, maiming and destroying lives to take over the galaxy. On a serious note, wasn't it a normal power of the Jedi to use for force to calm o...

It's ironic that now there are tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban not the lear being the borders which irk the Pashtun nationalists and the Talibans tacit support of the TTP. Let's see how long the Pakistani military can assert their control over the Taliban what with their flailing economy a...

I'm sorry, how does this show Beijing isn't receptive to public sentiment when anti vaccine mandate protests forced a reversion of a policy a mere 3 days later ? I don't deny that they respond to public sentiment. I think they have a lot of ability to disregard it if they believe it's necessary. Th...

I have friends that live in Taiwan, China can suck it. They have been aggressively trying to loophole their way into more territory for years in the South China Sea by creating islands and slowly moving the border with India, just like trump did with the sharpie. Not to mention their ongoing genoci...

Zawahiri killed in Kabul Ayman al-Zawahiri, the 71-year-old leader of al-Qaeda, stepped onto the third-floor balcony of his house in an exclusive neighborhood of Kabul around 6:15 a.m. Sunday. He usually appeared in the morning, shortly after daybreak. Sometimes he read. He was always alone. And th...

The affects of large Asian oil consumers like China and India buying Russian oil like there is no tomorrow because of discounted price will have likely have effects on the middle east Gulf and Iran and the rest of the region . The war in Ukraine and the new reality in Asian oil markets One of the ma...

Duplicate Post sorry

It does look awesome. Their really expanding the scope and some more serious stories. I like it

I've seen this personally at a large American life insurance company where I did a stint.i worked with the metrics and strategic planning departments They were in the midst of a corporate reorganization and what I saw was a large push towards cutting costs. They moved towards automating processes i...

Did anyone really wonder what cool adventures Obi-Wan was having while he was hiding out on Tatooine? I was always curious. How does someone go from a swashbuckling, adventure a week, doer of good, to the retired wise monk. I always pictured him having a period of being blackout drunk, watching the...

Man the Russians act so cartoonishly evil Well as I said they seem to be totally living like they're in world based on their preconceptions of others, rather then that of the real world. The Kremlin seems to operate of a level of arrogant ignorance that would be comical if it wasn't happening in th...

Man the Russians act so cartoonishly evil

Some of the tech fans could be a bit pedantic and or arrogant, but at the same time again a lot of the hostility was that THEY had grown up with certain numbers, and they didn't want to see them cast aside. It's like how lawyers and judges don't want to see their case decisions overruled even if th...

Yeah I never understood that hatred. There is so much cool technical stuff in Star Wars to analyze and enjoy not the least being all the awesome ships.

Hah it never registered to me that Ecks was a minimalist. I don't like minimalism at all.

It's also worth remembering that just because something is forbidden, explicitly or implicitly, in a constitution does not mean it can't happen. Two cases in point. Look at the (remarkably progressive for the time) Wiemar Constitution in 1920's Germany, and then the complete hellhole that Hitler ma...

Spice Runner, I really think you may find it helpful to look into the construction of genocidal logic and necropolitics. Most of your response to 'India is heading towards genocide' is to point to... the construction of genocidal logic, and then say 'but it won't really happen' because the courts, ...

Russia and Ukraine sign UN-backed deal to resume grain exports via the Black Sea Russia and Ukraine on Friday signed a U.N.-backed deal to resume exports of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea. The agreement, which will be implemented in the next few weeks, was signed in the Turkish city of Istan...

I've seen a lot of his videos. I don't agree with every opinion he has (most recently, his gushing over the Kenobi series), but he's generally on point. Yeah he is rather opinionated strongly about the sequels and the new series. I like his lore about things like the core worlds, hyperspace, the un...

As stated above, they have been hand-wringing over "Automation will Replace People" since the 70s, which is literally my complete lifetime. At this point, the ONLY THING I've seen where automation has lost jobs was in the Automobile Industry, where Robot Welders took over for humans putti...

As fun as space colonization fantasies are, they really are just fantasies for the foreseeable future. There is no realistic prospect of it developing quickly enough to have any meaningful impact on curbing the climate crisis about to hit us full force even if we manage to get a self-sustaining spa...

I hit post too fast Now in India there is pressure building by various Hindu groups to demolish mosques built on older temples. It's moving towards a state where Muslims will be oppressed and discriminated against unless true liberal opposition can pull their shit together. The current opposition Co...
