Mildly InterestingThey probably were just tired of having to replace the road signs that people were constantly stealing.
Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world
Is this the one that had that little tilt gauge on the dash to let you know that if you cornered too hard you were gonna die?
TechnologyIf they’re serious about it it will eventually be made into a requirement for serious services. I could imagine federal regulations requiring online banking, accessing government services (including school-related services), and maybe even ecommerce and payment processing looking for this trusted info, and refusing to run otherwise. Like TPM on steroids.
This post had me in a bad mood all day, so I spent some time trying to understand who this guy is, since he’s essentially being paid to spy on all of us now and has the ear of many, many elected officials.
This post is a synopsis of his book, which is a call for post-liberal, pro-American-power, anti-decadence, and defense-tech nationalism. Not exactly MAGA, not exactly neocon, and not exactly centrist Democrat, but basically saying: “the republic needs warriors, engineers, and belief.” It’s like if you took W40K and shrunk it down to a global scale.
Comic StripsI’m not familiar with this strip, is the homage to Peanuts a running gag (photo of Snoopy, lady on the left has Peanuts-style face)?
Days with a maximum temperature of 40C (104F) or higher will be referred to as “kokushobi,” the Japan Meteorological Agency said in a statement on Friday. The name, which means “severely hot day” but has no official translation
It’s apparently a much bigger internal volume than you’d get with today’s inflatable tech. With the caveat, of course, that inflatable tech has been tested already and this has not (though we’ve used origami techniques to expand payloads before, like on the JWST)
The OnionHe’s from Chicago, probably just wanted to make it feel more like home.

Thanks for this image! I’d never seen white Terry Crews before.
Uplifting NewsHe visits, the old pope dies. He visits, your entire political party is marginalized. Frankly if I were a world leader I’d want to stay as far the hell away from JD Vance as possible.
Actually, as just a regular Joe I’d * also * like to stay as far the hell away from JD Vance as possible.
Dull Men's ClubThis was my thought as well. I remember working on an old house in upstate NY that had a forgotten-about ice house that looked like this.
Honestly I don’t even think I would care if they had landed. If they were setting up some sort of base I’d be into it – mostly to geek out over the new tech and techniques that would have to be developed for construction, environmental control, etc. But for just boots on the ground? Still kinda meh.
I’d be excited for boots on Mars, but again maybe for the same reasons - just to get people there and back would require an almost unthinkable (today) level of development and dedication of resources.
First of all, “merely decorative” has a big impact on our physiological and psychological well-being; urban greening appears to be able to improve things from respiratory difficulties to stress, anxiety and depression .
Second, “merely decorative” isn’t even true. Trees lower both surface and air temperature in cities in a meaningful way (on the order of a couple of degrees on a well-treed street – that can be the difference between “ah, it’s a nice day for a walk” and “holy crap it’s hot out”.
Solarpunk technologyI will admit this is one place where I use LLMs extensively. If I never have to edit another arcane config file, yaml, etc it’ll be too soon.
Plant some more trees and rooftop gardens and you’ve got an official Solarpunk setting
MemesMaybe it’s meant to run on the old Soviet Setun platform.
That’s an interesting point. There’s zero engineering elegance on display here, and while I’m sure there are some cool, new things going on under-the-hood, it mostly looks like every other big rocket we’ve launched in the last 60 years, and not half as cool as the (admittedly stupid) Shuttle. And the Shuttle did at least have a lot of clever engineering going on to compensate for the (again, stupid) design choices that were driven by so many different and conflicting potential mission profiles.
It doesn’t help that a lot of people in power seem to take issue with objective realities.

Massive 'Tycho' Space Station 10X Larger Than the ISS Wins Inaugural Aurelia Prize (thedebrief.org)
A hard shell that unfolds like oragami will fit in a single Starship payload but expand to over 250k cubic meters of space (which seems impossible, that’s like 10 olympic pools) and offers practical solutions for many of the common engineering challenges with building long-term human habitations in orbit.
