Not just that but the pilot can be on the other side of the world from wherever the fiber leads out.

Most likely the fiber is coming out of a bunker that just has some switches and a TACLANE or something similar. Doesn't take much infra...you need that, some sort of low-latency network connection, and room for drones to take off.

Once it's set up, the site can be unmanned. Hell they can rig it to blow itself up after the mission is complete, so that nothing can be recovered from the infra if it's found.

For that matter, most of the drones flight path could be pre- programmed...the pilot only there as a contingency. Doing that, one operator could control several drones simultaneously.

Because all the Sommelier babies are wine-drunk.

The worst thing about this is that fish is probably the least sustainable protein around.

That's saying a lot, because beef is pretty fucking bad, but at least we can raise beef rather sustainably, it's just not cost effective or scalable, especially if you want to be a bit humane about it.

Most commercial fish we consume are middle- or top-food-chain. That means they need to eat other fish. Which means that even farming them relies on harvesting fish from the ocean, or farming an entire foodchain below them (and adequate for each life stage, at that). Farmed fish are implicitly dependent on traditional ocean fishing.

Yeah and it's being funded by Musk and Thiel.

If somebody told me, 27 years ago, that paying for eBay auctions would be the first link in a chain of events that would lead to the downfall of US, I've thought you were crazy.

I apologize, everyone. This is entirely because of my teenage photography hobby. I should've kept on just mailing money orders.

Is this correlation and causation tho?

Like, a lot of people with ADHD take stimulant medication.

The bombs were only 80 years ago how are they already so buried? Does dirt pile up faster than I thought??

Damn England. 30 minutes on hold for the non-emergency line is a bit much.

But at least the homeowner didn't get shot, so point for you.

Bounty hunters. I think we're at that point.

Idk about Tenable specifically, but a lot of the major security vendors have their own pool of security researchers who very frequently contribute to CVE. Mostly from finding vulns in their own product, but a lot of those vulns are due to upstream libraries.

I love the powerglove. It's so bad.

Oh, different wiz.

I know. It really sucks. Poor communities already take the brunt of it. There's a reason why poor communities, even (if not especially) in the US have lower life expectancies,more cancer cases, more asthma, higher birth defects, etc.

The good news is, they would feel the pinch of carbon taxes mostly on imported goods. Which, granted, while it would mean more expensive goods for the consumer, I think it would also mean less frivolous consumption, which ultimately would harm the rampant consumerism and with it a lot of major polluters.

Yeah, it will.

But at the same time, carbon is way too cheap.

It sucks...but by not paying for the externalities of consuming carbon, we've been making the planet less habitable for all, but especially poor people. Heavy carbon emitters are always upwind and upstream of poor communities. We ship out our worst waste to third world countries.

Something's gonna have to give. There's no easy solution. But I'd definitely take carbon taxes over tariffs. Targeting nation-states arbitrarily isn't going to fix anything, but targeting the shipping industry will.

There's no good answer.

 

Hey all.

I just waited nearly 3 weeks for my (generic) Vyvanse refill.

How much longer is this "supply chain" problem going to go on for? It's been like a year already, hasn't it? Wasn't the whole thing about manufacturers claiming they'd "exceeded their quota"?

Or is it going to get worse with RFK just wanting to send half of us to ~~concentration camps~~ organic lettuce farms in Kansas?
