Re: Twitter board agrees to $44 billion sale to billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk
What really funges my tokens about Grok is that Musk has apparently read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and come to the conclusion that what his company's digital assistant project really needs to stand out from the crowd is Genuine People Personalities(TM). The only person I've ever heard of...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Is Iran trying to provoke a response from Israel? :banghead: How? By having weapons and stating facts? They weren't stating facts, they were selling the idea to their people that somehow their failed attack beat Israel. As well as showing Israel that they could do it again. Multiple times. Does Isr...

Maybe.
Or maybe they think that showing off their military might is the best way to convince Israel to leave them alone.

On the other hand the clues were planted by people with 23rd century warp drive. DASH drive might be instant but it might take Moll and L'ak only hours to cross what took months in C23rd. Probably. But they still need to know where they are going when Discovery has the only copy of the next clue an...

Re: Star Trek Discovery Season 5 (Spoilers)
Even if Moll and L'ak can track Discovery now, they don't have a spore drive. So it's going to be interesting seeing how they overcome that disadvantage.

Re: Star Trek Discovery Season 5 (Spoilers)
One interesting note is that programmable matter can't be made into wires. If they want wires, they have to use replicators.
Which just adds confusion to me trying to understand the difference between replicating something vs using programmable matter.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
They found two scapegoats. "Hooray". What bullshit. It doesn't solve the problem(s) that led to this. Poland called the Israeli Ambassador in, so I guess they needed to finger someone quick to take the blame. Probably not going to help much, because I doubt they'll release the scapegoats ...

I see three possibilities for 2028: - Trump wins this year. He can't run again - Trump loses this year. I doubt he can delay his trials long enough, so he's going to have to try and run from wherever he's been incarcerated. - Trump dies Either way, I can't see him being a serious candidate in 2028 ...
