I care for up to 10-15 minutes per topic.
If it turns into an hour long presentation, my level of caring drops off significantly.

I love that Edison Motors jokes that they chose their name because “we stole Tesla’s idea and made it better”
.
For those that hadn’t heard of them, Edison Motors is building electric (and hybrid) semi trucks after putting down a deposit of Tesla’s semi truck and not seeing any follow-up in more than 3 years.
And it seems like Google’s funding will help advance safer and more modern nuclear plant designs
Hopefully.
But the cynic in me is always concerned when shareholder owned companies are operating something that has the potential to go very wrong very quickly if/when they cut too many corners in the pursuit of that extra 0.5% of profit.
The Horn and Hardart automat was an interesting bit of early 20th century Americana.

This is about land,
Wars always are.
But warring factions almost always use the religion of the people as a strong lever and excuse in order to maintain the support of those people for the war effort.
This is no different. There have been strong and influential factions (on both sides of the conflict) who have claimed that the piece of dirt they’re fighting over is holy land to both of the religions represented.
Imagine how much better the company would be if she didn’t have to burn so much of her time and effort on managing and mitigating Musk’s chaos.
Edits can be reverted, articles can be locked.

Who would take down what is the digital equivalent to the Library of Alexandria?
I can think of a few possibilities

2: people who love the poorly educated and want the misdeeds of their political allies to be forgotten.
3: copyright trolls.
I doubt it’s the engineers who are demanding that this atrocity exist.
There’s also free and open source alternatives.
What happened to freedoms in America? It’s easy for a government to strip them after the people stop believing in them being important.
Add to that how much more difficult (and time consuming and expensive) it is to build/rebuild than it is to destroy and you’ve got a real problem on your hands.
concerns over the possibility that religion might be a political opponent and trying to neutralize it by replacing figures with one’s own are not new.
It’s been a pretty common thing that dictators have done throughout recorded history.
It’s not about agreeing or disagreeing with the specifics of the church, it’s about eliminating divided loyalties.
Dictators always do that.
And, not because they’re atheists as the butthurt Christians so often claim.
It’s all about centralized control and not allowing for divided loyalties or spaces for people to gather outside the party’s control.
That’s why I choose open source whenever I can.
Chromium isn’t as problematic as Chrome.
a reasonable amount of economic output
There’s a vast difference between "reasonable " and “max_profits nothing else matters”.
Clarkson’s Farm. And until recently, The Grand Tour.
Can’t think of any others from the last few years.
That’s as silly as Trump claiming he could stop it (or the Russian invasion of Ukraine) with a single phone call.
Israel has been fighting against its neighbors since its inception.
the US is really fucking hoping Putin dies of old age or is voted out domestically
Or is killed by disgruntled Russians.
Assuming the weapons system and personnel in question are used exclusively for missile intercept, then this deployment can be seen as an attempt to reduce further escalation of the ongoing conflict.
