I have no idea, controlling an animal’s brain is obviously the hard part too believe. But I don’t see how that affects their range. It’s a bird, birds naturally migrate thousands of miles.

Well… The electronics are solar powered, so it’s not like batteries would run out. I’m not sure there are really limits on the flight range of a pigeon. I have to assume they’d be allowed to eat.

I don’t think they could cross an ocean.

Thanks Mamdani…

This is great! Obama is finally off the hook.

Only sane post on the page.

Those are the facts. I believe the pi 4 is what people are whining doesn’t exist.

I hear he hangs out with anonymous, from the Internet!

That’s pretty awesome! I may have gotten old, but I never got tired of learning stuff about dinosaurs prehistoric beasts.

So what’s the deal with the pterosaurs, what makes them “not dinosaurs”? I believe the really weird looking silhouette is a Quetzalcoatlus, that’s just fun to say.

Without knowing anything about the issue, I can guarantee Tennessee energy policies are to blame. And if I had to guess, it’s probably the fault of favoring “free market” over “reasonable regulation” and consumer protection type policies.

An excellent question!

Hmm, water would be a very difficult (though maybe possible) material to build with. If you used those long balloons, like for balloon animals, and filled those with water, that could make like a semi-rigid beam. Then it’s just a matter of using the beams to make a structure, an arm, and a pivot point. You could use unfilled balloons as additional teather and possibly to make a pouch for holding your projectile.

To help with rigidity, after filling the water balloons, you could then spiral some duct tape around the entire length of the balloon, like wrapping grip tape around a hockey stick, that would keep the balloon from expanding unevenly or bending, it shouldn’t flop all over.

Just to maintain the design themes, I imagine using this to fling water balloons exclusively at little sisters.

Eh, I give the US a solid 40% chance that it won’t collapse within the next 50 years.

I’m definitely an introvert, but you could get me to talk for ages about my personal hobbies and interests.

Just ask me about space or rockets or airplanes or building trebuchets.

This is the first I’ve heard Paris Paloma. I like it, it reminds me of Florence and the Machine.

Also, cool video!

Well I’ve been playing this game called Pacific Drive. It’s a driving game, but also survival horror. It’s like Jalopy, but with the anomalies from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The game is fantastic, I highly recommend it.

Anyway, the soundtrack seriously slaps. They licensed music from independent and lesser known artists for the radio stations, and it’s all super atmospheric and perfect.

(My apologies for the Spotify link, it’s what I got)

Damn, that’s really smart. That would probably work.

This is actually starting to make more sense. The whole Russian hotel/piss video thing always sounded like a weak variety of dirt to me. But if Epstein collected video or other proof that Trump was fucking children, and then gave that to the kremlin… Well that is quite damaging information. That is leverage.

There was no law enforcement present, the victim would happily flee to law enforcement…

Well, this is a stupid idea and it’s probably not going to happen. That said, if someone were to do this, it probably wouldn’t contribute much to Kessler syndrome because you wouldn’t actually want a million free floating satellites, you’d want a million physically connected satellites. Picture satellites designed to link up into a giant grid. Effectively, that’s just adding 1 large satellite, built over a thousand launches. And you wouldn’t want it in low earth orbit either, you’d want it higher, where it could get sunlight 24/7 365. And at those middle orbits, between leo and gso, there’s really no competition for space there, that zone is empty.

Here’s what’s weird about it, when you have that much money, you don’t tend to work for anyone.

Why get involved in some complicated spy game? You’re rich, you don’t have to do shit, and in fact you’re so rich you can do whatever you want… with children… I mean can you picture those same people who feel they are above the law, being beholden to anyone?

Ok, well first off, hunting spiders are a thing, so arachnids can be effective predators without webs. Let’s suppose that hunting spiders evolved first and web spinning came later (I have no actual knowledge of spider evolution, but let’s go with it).

So what do those hunting spiders use web for? I believe they use them to make those fuzzy egg sacks or nests, so protective structures in general. I could totally see that evolving first, the ability to make silk for building nests. Actually many different species have evolved something like that, using excretions to aid in nest building, birds, ants, fish, caterpillars, other insects, it’s actually a relatively common trait to develop. Nests are good for hiding, protection from the elements and thermal insulation, a home is nice to have!

I could see it become beneficial if some spiders then developed sticky nests, sometimes bugs might wander in and get stuck, free meal. And then after that, some might develop larger nests, the greater the area of this sticky nest, the more effective it is. And that basically gets us to modern sliders spiders.

Well… The governors are gonna get a lot of flak from their constituents when Trump responds by calling in the Marines and the Army.

I think that’s the main reason it hasn’t happened.

When it does happen (and I expect it will at some point), I just hope Trump leaves the Air Force out of it… I dread the possibility of that bastard launching air strikes on political opponents while they sleep.
