I figured, it was a reminder for everyone. One of my favorite experiences in recent years was visiting Big Bend National Park, one of the darkest places in the US. The scale of the sky is something I will never forget.

Don't ever take silence and darkness for granted. It can disappear irrevocably in an instant. Where I used to live, the lights on the interstate were replaced with different LED units and my back yard suddenly became bright enough to garden and do auto maintenance at night because of the light pollution.

China and Russia are laughing their asses off right now. Attacking Iran was idiotic for any number of reasons but long term, burning through a resource (missile interceptors) that requires stockpiles for be functional, while also not increasing production in any meaningful way is absolutely insane when the rumors are that a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan could occur as early as 2027.

Not to mention, Ukraine has been begging for these munitions for the last 4 years while they were actively being attacked by Russia (unprovoked Iight add) and we basically told them "sorry we don't have enough to share" befor we went and wasted them on an illegal attack that didn't need to happen...

I don't remember the plant/company but several years ago I worked a failure analysis job that involved a failed plastic storage silo that was constantly leaking plastic pellets. They only repaired it when the crack became big enough that it was considered a structural concern. The cost in loss of product was essentially nothing and there was no consequence for spilling it.

Remember, when all you do is fine people/corporations for violations (health, safety, or otherwise), its not a punishment, its a cost of doing business.

They have been using the lack of stock as an excuse for not supplying Ukraine for the last 4 years but have also not significantly altered production. Then, the justification for not sharing interceptors was a potential future war with China. Instead we just burned a bunch of them defencing resources that were not in real danger by launching an illegal attack on Iran. 4 d chess right there... This country is being run by morons.

Russia couldn't even show up for Russia when Wagner got sick of puter's shit... Talk about a missed opportunity...

Woah, a finger wag, that's excessive, the senate will vote down even a strongly worded letter.

He's faced no consequences for any action in his entire miserable life, why should he now? Consequences are only for poor people apparently.

The time to vote on this was months ago when the second aircraft carrier started moving from VZ towards the Middle East, you know, when you could have prevented this bullshit...

The Israeli pr release said they were taling out their leaders "past, present, and future" It was somewhere in there. (https://www.twz.com/news-features/iran-is-under-attack)

I'm hosting a seeed solar node pro at home, and I carry either a t-echo or a t-1000-e with me daily. I also grabbed a t-deck pro to play with. It's been a blast learning about the setups and I keep thinking about stealth deploying a couple more solar nodes to build out the network in the area around me.

The next two books in the series got weirder because of the character's ages... That part doesn't hold up.
