not good, not good at all, as this is how ALL bridges and towers are supported, the basic engineering bieng that any cable end will be stronger than the cable itself and will last longer than the cable itself, except now, when it isn't, not good, not easy to inspect, not easy to service.

Icelanders obviosly laugh at themselves first and a lot, so rolling out another joke for a specific occasion is just something they do, a lot. AI is like bieng a kid again, when your parents start trying to force some new thing on you and are acting all WIERD huddling up whispering to each other and there friends, cause they all fucked up and into WHO KNOWS WHAT, except it's everybodys boss and you have to play along with doing the "extra curricular activities" whether you like them or not. There must be many poor souls who are bieng pushed into AI, not just by there boss, but by there parrents as well. Icelands looking better by the second.

presumably the only way to get a good picture of a blackhole would be to get very lucky and catch a supernova going off next door, preferably at a slight oblique angle from one of the poles and be able to light the acretion disk and any dust but I dont think we have the visible light gathering capacity to search at the distances required for even a slight chance of capturing the event, so the answer to the question is : you wait.

not shameless as here is cut and paste from the landing page when all that renders is plain text

elect.horse is a daily gerrymandering puzzle: the horse is losing the popular vote to the cow, the donkey and the goat, and you draw equal districts on a hex map so it wins the most seats anyway. It needs JavaScript to play.

I only clicked because I have a horse, with whom I spent a few miniuts out in the paddock before daylight listening to the coyotes whoop it up so close you could smell there not dog , but not bad, odor.

no mention of this bieng an actual translation from the original sumerian in any of the reviews, and the truely epic and laudable journey that is bieng replaced by the sleezy term 'verse translation', ie : hollywood sceen play ready, as that is what could be the most that can be expected from a former probation officer turned the official british royal panegrist.

edit: the songs of innana and other older actual translations of gilgamesh are there for some little peeks into the sumerian world that continues to define ours in so many subtle ways.

edit, edit: before commenting I did a fairly decent search for any details on this 'book' , of which nothing that I found written in plain text offered anything other than the standard devious prevercations found when some politico/legalistic thing is bieng floated. And I can state with absolute certitude that this 'translation/rewrite' of Gilgamesh will not age well even in the tiny demographic it is aimed at and will go further out on the limb and suggest that this 'work' will soon be evaluated and found to contain certain 'isms' from some of the one name only agregators of our literary present.

scrapping has helped me make ends meet many times, too busy with cash work to bother right now,and so is everbody else localy, and I have to haul scrap out of the shop and find someone who will let me dump it, which then takes me to one of my favorite backwoods pirates(my term), where often is to found some rather improbable stuff that gets scrapped and junked and rendered, or sometimes rescued and taken on as a project. Copper, bronze, brass, platinum from catelitic converters, stainless steel, and aluminum can all bring in significant amounts of cash, as will the shear mass of a row of stripped down bulldozers or cement trucks. The larger operations are otherworldly, the scale aproaching a complete landscape exposing the inner workings of our industrial civilization, where a car can be taken from a complete and in many cases drivable state, to having its mechanicals ripped out by a modified excavator and the rest shredded into fist sized backened chunks, in 5 minuits, all the plastic and glass and other stuff ground into a paste(loose change, lost phones,tools,junk, etc,etc,etc) containerised for shipping for further rendering. And the cast of characters that casualy fit into a chaotic apocaliptic sceen, that will also have an incongrous and often large office building where some tiny patch of non destruction, and maybe some flowers demarks the boundry where order is re established, and the highest value materials are stored, and money , always cash for sellers, is exchanged. Which leads to the experiences of going to such places and the very hightened, edgy awareness of bieng someone new showing up, and the relationships that grow , vs the other side of my life interacting with various proffesionals, academics, business people, bankers, lawyers, etc and just how uncomfortable they often are, though beurocrats, those bastard children of academia are invisible, lives wholely contained within buildings and behind barriers, therin to steep in whatever miasma of guilt at the horrors they tend, creates.

Actualy it's both, Billionaires Democracy : who ever has the most money gets the biggest vote.

Oh Ye mighty look upon my unsubstantiated forcasts and tremble, something like that?

there is a very simple method to locate well preserved organic archiological materials, pick a river valley, and a section of bottom land that would have had an equidistant relationship with the broadest availibility of harvestable resources, marine, forrest, mineral, hunting, and gathering,etc, and lo right at that spot will reliably be found, worldwide, a settlement that was burried in a landslide cause by deforistation of the slopes in the lovely valley microclimate that humans will reliably gravitate towards, and devestate, one intersting feature of these sites is that human remains seem to be almost universaly absent, as these were strong and observant people who aparently knew when and where to run, which unfortunately seems to have been another close, but less perfect valley. seattle, sits right on top of a series of mega deposits from long run out slides, but in that case these are volcanic debrits and earthquake cause, rather than human, though this is just another physical situation that sets up for gravity to do it's thing, there bieng several other. I have my suspicions about how increased heat, water and water vapour, CO², and other forces will effect geological processes in ways that have not been accounted for or even considered properly, carbonation, like rust, never sleeps

hey! thats what the money is for, the AI metaverse where your virtual clone will be shiny, and popular for ever

human figure jumping, clapping, smileing gleefuly.

I think that this is the first truely idioic thing that I like. At one point I considered myself an absurdist, but for a while now it seems that people can no longer recognise deliberate absurdity and respond like it's something plausible, but here we are I wonder if he will bomb Switzerland for refusing him the peace prize.

kudos! for solving a hardwares, hardware problem, but especialy for the open, matter of fact demenour devoid of rhetoric. aaaand the web site renders perfectly on my less than standard browser, fast too.

I like the way it's worded, as it leaves open if you are buying information on a specific person or thing or haveing information on a specific person or thing, become secret. But the real money and show auctions will be for end of term pardons for things that cant be kept secret, and then there will be all sorts of deals and perks, get a free secret with a full family pardon and complimenterty stay in the white house epstien suite.
