Yeah, I think that fully explain apparent disinterest of users. No way nobody is looking for this app, but there is also no way this one shows up on searches over the other one.

Or fix up the Latin America. Just stop pretending US has no control over internal politics of foreign countries.

We don't do that precisely because that's how you end up with this situation. We wonder how history repeats itself, but we can't be bothered to know history from over 40 years ago.

60 years actually but for the recent criminality you need to look to Venezuela’s attempt of revolution in the late 10’s which generated the expansion of the Tren de Aragua which evolved extortion from random events to an enterprise level kind of thing.

The US made this.

That’s a really smart idea, I don’t know why nobody thought of this or tried for multiple decades before.

The US is a big part of the problems of Latin America. They participate in the drug trade, big time.

Yeah, it's just they don't believe in equality and aren't taking women's human rights seriously in those activist groups. Women buy and sexualize men given power and disposable income just like men do, in not significantly less gross or any bit more dignified manners. Flying to South Asia and hitting back alleys for discount children and all those stuffs.

I thought Asian gang-run virtual camgirl sites were virtually extinct... This is undoubtedly targeting likes of Patreon/OnlyFans, and only happening because participants there has working short path feedback loops from output to input. I don't quite see what's wrong about that, but lot of online porn bans seem to focus more on that than contents.

(context: 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6 are the exact same thing. The latter is supposed to be improved and totally fixed, complete with the underspecced load-bearing "supposed to be" clause.)


They're soaked eyebrows deep in Tiktok style hype juice, believing that latest breakthrough in robotics is that AGIs just casually started walking and talking on their own and therefore anything code controlled by now is considered proof of ineptitude and fake.

It's complete cult crazy talk. Not even cargocult, it's proper cultism.


"RL is not AI" "Disney bots were remote controlled" are major AI hypebro delulu moment lol

Your understanding of AI and robotics are more cucumber than pear shaped. You're making very little technical sense here. Challenges and progress in robotics aren't where you think they are. It's all propagandish contents you're basing your understandings on.

If you're getting information from TikTok or YouTube Shorts style content, especially around Tesla bros - get the hell out of it at Ludicrous Speed. Or consume way more of it so thoroughly that you cannot be deceived anymore despite blatant lies everywhere. Then come back. They're all plain wrong and it's not good for you.


The reason why the author thought these might be interchangeable in the first place?

They've successfully hatched small fish on ISS. For animals, IIRC embryos need gravity to determine heads and tails or something. We do already know. The answer is that we Earthian lives generally face great difficulty reproducing in zero-g.

What exactly do we know? By the way, mice are far more similar to us than fish.

I meant to say larger animals - it's been tried. Small fish and frogs were fine, but chicken eggs showed issues developing past some early stages under microgravity[1]. Therefore we know that animals significantly more complex than amphibians can not reproduce normally under zero-g.

> Twenty out of 30 eggs (nine out of ten 10-day-old eggs; 10 out of ten 7-day-old eggs; 1 out of ten 0-day-old eggs) were recovered alive after landing. The only living embryo of the 0-day-old egg died 24 days after launch, and was comparable to a 16-day-old embryo when it died. The high mortality of the 0-day-old eggs appeared to be related to the specific inner structure of the egg. The yolk (specific gravity, 1.029) would not have separated from the albumen (1.040) during space flight.

Yeah. Another nice article on the bird experiments:

https://finchwench.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/cosmoquails/

Still, trying it with mice (or other mammals) would have been worth it, because we can't rule out mammals being more robust during embryogenesis than birds. The ISS actually has still a few years left, so there would be some time left for such an experiment. Though I doubt it will happen.


> We still have no idea what long term stays in Martian or even Lunar gravity does to a human body.

We do know. The radiation kills us well before the lack of gravity does. The end.

We have to have shieldings thick and heavy as nuclear bunkers for a real space station to work, and such shielding is just way too heavy to be launched from Earth(unless e.g. we'd be okay with launching a toilet stall worth of habitable volume per Starship), so the station has to be mostly fabricated "in space", which is both technically and politically not yet feasible. There are theories that horizontal branches that may exist in natural crevices on the Lunar surface might work. Or for Mars some say we can just drill some mineshafts there and live inside. but all those options are equally sketchy in its own ways at this moment.

We're barely flying hatchbacks up to orbits and we want airport garages out there to park it. We're not hauling the whole building in the back of a Prius, not even on Earth, obviously.

What NASA, ESA, etc. had been doing is to drive up that Prius to the trailer home left in the middle of the desert, have them change lightbulbs, celebrate themselves and rotate crews. That's basically useless, but they keep repeating that useless "expeditions" because they'll have to start over from reinventing tubeless wheels if they stop paying for the gas even just for one year.
