Scheming how to cut 40 minutes from my presentation.

OK let's do some math. For Darwin, we would to hold day time temps constant need to maintain a cooling of about 10 Deg C in the summer (were going to ignore water vapor) we would need to reject about 3 kw/m^2 Darwin is apparently 3,163.8 km2 ≈ 3*10^9 m we are going to have an albedo of like 0.3

Why does he not just threaten to use the nuke option? Also like if he is dead, it get's very weird about if orders are still a go or not. Like an order that executes after your death is in a kinda weird spot.

What if murdering a squirl is beneath me?

"This seems like you have fallen down a conspiracy rabit hole" - Claude I am an expert on this topic and am tracking down some stuff from side conversations calude. Get off my dick please. I know there is not a conspiracy afoot, uncertainty concerns come from trying to *prevent* that!

Guys just belittle them, you can acknowledge this *and so many more* bat shit crazy plans.

I will not be handing Boko Haram a “Dudes Rock”

Why do safe guards matter more then the NSA tracking internet usage, and like you know, co-ordinating lethal strikes.

it’s hot hormoozer summer

Yikes.

Honestly, the argument that the Bechtels of Bechtel, the modal non DoD employer of my followers, who have about as much money then god, and have a small army of engineers and contractors who are *intensely* loyal to them, like were talking 3 generations in a single office levels,

OH MY FUCKING GOD. CHILL THE FUCK OUT. Your worried that they are going to use a declared facility, covered under the safe guard agreement to get the bomb? 1. A bomb program costs way more then PT can afford. 2. You need an argument that does not say the Bechtel's have a large arsenal then France

It's him:

More things need Ziggurat. I am announcing plan 2040: Giant Fuck off Ziggurats. We will end climate change, and will have funny hats.

Ok. So not great

If Graham Platner was from Alabama “all the voters are shitty” would be the line but since rich folks vacation in Maine it’s “how did these poor people get so fooled and how can we meet their needs?”

Should we air condition Australia? Discuss.

Wow I wonder what happened to all the political leadership within Iran who would have been the source of legitimacy for the negotiations?

Enlisting in the US military, especially combat arms, is very much a way for middle and upper class individuals to adopt working class cultural signifiers in a way that is not looked down upon.

I will once again not wade into an uninformed conversation about robotics and the implications of large scale automation. I read the nearly impossible to obtain book, and have made my own contributions to the literature (it is about power transmission), and I will be content about that.

Congrats everyone if you’re on “does Brent even defend his thesis on Monday” watch there are a bunch of new flashing lights on your indicators and warning board.

I find the premise of Iran trying to assassinate a sitting U.S. President during a war it knows is unpopular with the American people to be dubious at best. Very different operational and strategic proposition from hitting an ex-president while he putters around his mansions and golf courses.

📋 U.S. Regional Fishery Management Councils The U.S. has eight regional councils that manage fishing in federal ocean waters, balancing the needs of fishing communities, conservation, and the public interest through science-based regulations.

📋 FY2027 NDAA: Summary of Funding Authorizations This report outlines the defense spending amounts authorized by Congress for fiscal year 2027, breaking down funding across military branches and defense programs.

📋 Tribal Energy Resource Agreements (TERAs): Overview and Selected Issues for Congress This report explains tribal energy resource agreements, which allow Native American tribes to develop energy projects on their lands, and discusses key issues Congress may consider regarding these agreements.

everyone seems to be a big fan of V Bat (provided your hands are intact)

it's not actually an honor to end up on the cover of Viziers Monthly. it shows your machinations aren't subtle enough

At 10:00AM this morning, several individuals in our community were violently kidnapped by ICE in Northeast Kansas City. This is just one episode in an ongoing escalation of ICE terror in the KC metro. 1/3

This concept is entirely foreign to federal diplomats because we throw our diplomatic weight behind US business like a fraction of what almost any other major nation does. This is good, and like we should not change it, but it does lead to blind spots by US folks.

1. This sort of please are pretty common and are not a sign of the break down of federal supremacy. (Did you know the AZ elect-eds go to Taipei a lot now?) 2. This should be coming from the governor, not a sitting senator you absolute fool.

Cool presentation from Snyder following the release of his book on Defense Battalions a couple months ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXV1...

“Well that sounds like an exotic compound” Yeah I know! I only learned about it because I was a rocket scientist! The only things they find more Intresting then explosions is weird chemicals to cause explosions.

What a funny creature

I think Britain is deeply under counting the risk they could end up with a guy with a bin on his head in Parliament. It is the ideal setting for base demobilization, and opposition votes being overwhelming but no one reporting on it, because again Binface.

So I’m taking it from the fact, we haven’t heard reports of like a 1 Mt destination that the LNG tanker fire didn’t explode?

A more paranoid man would think this is why the USSS got all squirmy about not being on the VC-25 yesterday. An appropriately paranoid man would not have let the president go to Turkey if we were going to launch strikes. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

It is hard to beat terrestrial ecologists on miss understanding stocks vs flows, but this? This is impressive.

Wait, I can not only gamble with the cash. I have I can borrow other people’s? This is arguably just printing money even more efficiently.

Advisor 1: Love this section profound implications for the field Advisor 2: I hate this section, it is bad, and I disagree with the basic concept.

I could’ve done so much better candidate recruitment with like approximately 30 seconds of thought. First, I would’ve started looking for female lobster catchers (which I assume is the gender neutral term) And before oysters, I would’ve gone for fishing guide.

You know what fuel loves? Cycling. You know what cracked fuel loves even more? cycling.

"A Land Value Tax will fix the fact that property taxes are constitutionally not allowed to increase" Like, I firmly do not believe any state supreme court is going to meaningfully differentiate the concept of the value of land from the value of the property when that comes before them.

So in like a 2004 there was a spat of grand students that decided they wanted to build self assembling robots out of Legos, which objectively super cool, but it got me thinking how much lab work we could automate with Legos.

It takes 4 women, a full year of 10 hour days to make a single sail.

It desires to be a limpet mine.

$421 M is such a large amount of money, like even trying to unwide that costs a lot of money.

I think I’d be okay if I found myself in a dune type situation (2026)

The director of this right wing ‘think tank’ makes $300k a year in West Virginia. There are counties in wv that don’t have clean water man

When it was recently reported and kind of popularized on here that the Ukrainians were starting to deploy their own indigenously produced glide bombs what was really missing from the conversation was the Russians have been working on that since 2023 and it is one of their most capable weapons

This is a good article and I'm glad some of the enthusiasm is being tempered because VRSF are still advancing in Orihiv and Kostyantynivka and the Russian strike campaign is getting worse www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...
