Re: Donald Trump


...

I find it striking that Israel, Iran and Maga America all have theocratic motivations. They're also lead by, as the article headlines, 'angry old men'. It's right to question the sanity of each of them, as Tisdall does. As long as each of them remain in power, and with Putin watching on ...

Re: Donald Trump

Slightly more on topic, Trump's parade was pathetic.

Re: Donald Trump

Netanyahu is insane.

I remember when the world's most insane country, North Korea got nukes, and it was a disturbing moment. Iran, a candidate for the world's second most insane country, is well on the way. The already nuclear armed countries, including Israel, Russia and the US, are becoming ...

Re: Donald Trump


Took longer than I thought but here it is, the Pentagon is reviewing the AUKUS agreement to see if it is in line with the Presidents Agenda. Now lets be clear, the Pentagon on its own doesn't suddenly decide to review a military agreement between 2, or possibly 3, countries, they would only do ...

Re: What is Elon Musk up to now..


I note that the Starship test flight since this article was written managed to get a bit further than the previous failures, before blowing/breaking up.

The same author has another article about the latest failure. I like his comparisons to Apollo. SpaceX and its ilk to me have always ...

Re: What is Elon Musk up to now..

I can't verify the assertions in this article - after all, it IS rocket science you know. But I find it believable.

Whenever one of Musk's rockets blows up it reminds me of the Soviet N1 rocket, which was intended to beat Apollo to the moon. Two tests in 1969 failed, and the Soviets were ...

Re: Electric + Human-Powered Vehicles


This video, very interesting, upgrading old Mitsubishi MiEV with new battery and assist technology, just the advantage from better understanding of how best to use electric power in the car is remarkable. Original 70km range, just under double the battery capacity, but with the new technology and ...

Re: Donald Trump


A recent story brought a new strategy to light by countries being attacked by Trump via tariffs and etc, it's called the "TACO" strategy. Laughingly it stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out," basically it comes down to, if you sit there long enough and do nothing Trump will eventually back down ...

Re: AI Uses

Unfortunately, mass media influencers on Twitter, Youtube, Facebook etc, push the narrative that Ai is going to replace us.
And in some cases I really hope it does eg: farm work, picking grapes in say Mildura, Victoria, the faster Ai and robots replace us in such jobs the better.

I used to be ...
