Lovable Sidekick

It’s impressive because it’s totally passive - radar can locate incoming drones, but also lets the drones locate the radar antenna. This new technique finds the drones without emitting any kind of telltale signal. So the drones don’t know they’ve been spotted, or even that anyone’s looking.

True! Helping somebody less experienced than you solve a problem is a rush. I’ve had the same experience helping people with 3d printing problems.

Another white not very masculine male here - which I think is every bit as normal as being a woman who isn’t an insanely hot babe. It’s weird when things that are almost fringe become unattainable standards for a vast majority who really have no reason to feel inadequate.

A creationist I worked with never used that word. He always described himself as “not an evolutionist” - I think he was trying to paint creationism as normal and evolution as the fringe.

When you blow into a special whistle and a dog hears it and comes to you.

“We need you to pee in this cup. No, I mean we need to see you do it. No, I mean we need to see if you have a penis or not.”

Turek currently has a narrow lead against republican Ashley Hinton. Both are running heavily on painting themselves as independent of their parties.

Anything involving influences and streamers.

Which billionaires aren’t flooding money into politics to influence elections? They were doing it long before all the AI drama.

Similar idea, but the “pacification gas” wasn’t a genetic modificationn. And of course how something works in a sci-fi story doesn’t depend on how it worked in a different one.

Yeah that’s kind of how it works.

I think such a weapon is achievable once we understand genetics enough. Create a gene modification that makes people a little more cooperative and more interested in everybody else’s welfare - say 20% more - and infuse it into enough of the world’s water supplies to give the mutation to a majority of humans. Wait a few years and I think their behavioral changes would turn our whole world around. No need to design a perfect social system and use politics to implement it. It would quickly evolve on its own. .

Depends on how much you eat. If you have some idea of what your “ideal” calorie consumption per day is, your goal is to eat more than that. Bread is easier than potatoes because it’s more calorie-dense, i.e. you don’t have to eat as much of it.

You don’t really have to “cook” as in dirtying a lot of pans to make potatoes and bread more appealing.

• Nuke a potato and add salt and butter, and maybe a sprinkle of garlic and onion powder. Only takes a few seconds more than a plain potato.
• Get a big jar of jam and have butter and jam on your bread. Minimal effort, way more enjoyable.
• Low-effort grilled cheese sandwich: Put a slice of cheese between 2 pieces of toast, nuke 10 seconds, boom.

Blame it on people saying now is not the time if you want, but the other reason there’s no resistance is people saying, “We should start a resistance,” and not starting one. Seems like people are waiting for somebody to put revolution in front of them as an option they can click on.

In the actual shower, where the water is? Who does that?
