That's interesting! At the same time, your two linked articles:

> Pfendler ... after nearly a month and a half at sea ... appears to have broken both the previous women’s speed record as well as the men’s speed record

Would you say hunters keep running for 1 month to catch an antelope?

And:

> Catherine Breed, 33, didn’t look terribly exhausted ... swimming for more than 100 days ... the entire 900-mile length of the California coast

It makes sense if in ultra-ultra marathons, rowing, swimming, there's advantages to having more body fat and other female traits.

But hunting is shorter and quicker:

"Hunter-gatherers (such as the San people of the Kalahari Desert) typically pursue an antelope or kudu for 4 to 8 hours, covering a distance of roughly 10 to 30 kilometers (about 6 to 19 miles) before the animal collapses from heat exhaustion", an AI said.

(And, as the sibling comment about marathons says, then men are faster.)

Replying to a genocide terror attack by starting to genocide kill civilians in the area the terrorists came from, is wrong.

But that's what you're apparently supporting, looking at how you're writing.

Plus you are misrepresenting what I said.

Sounds as if you're defending genocide style killing civilians.

How much do/can they use their own thrusters to change/correct their directions? I'm guessing it's just fractions of a degree? And needs to be extremely precise, done weeks? before reaching the next planet to slingshot around?

> 0.15% of Meta revenue

That must be a gigantic amount of money, you (or someone else) don't happen to know who any of those people (or organizations?) are?

Wow! Amazing. Can I ask, did the employer find out? (Did the employer like it?)

Are there really boxing capable mainframes nowadays?

Otherwise I think the mainframe would lose because of being too passive

> farm out referrals

Why did they do that?

Is that article AI generated, if you happen to know? It was pretty interesting in any case

That definition, I never heard before. I think you're confusing yourself and others if you make up your own meaning of words.

A startup can be profitable.

I suppose it depends on what you're protecting, who's out there to get you, and how boring and time consuming it is to clean up after a breach (can't that take weeks or months), etc.

Aren't you're a bit asking "When X transportation method isn't used by everyone, can it really be any good?" :-)

It is a realistic solution.
