    What was the first big news story you remember?

    The 1st Gulf War? The breakup of the Soviet Union? I guess the 1st big news story that mattered I remember was the O.J. Simpson trial. My teacher turned the TV on in class when they read the verdict.

    The AI Thread

    A very logical argument, but life is a lot bigger than 64 squares. An AI making superior decisions for society, hmmm. People adore going faster and faster. It is the only way to steal time, the most precious resource.

    [RD] War in Gaza News: Pas de Deux

    So Israel has a full blockade on Gaza to halt weapons. No food gets in without their approval. They seemingly have set times for giving the food out? Do they just machine gun the crowds to let them know they are not open yet? And machine gun the crowds again to let them know it is closing...

    The Boeing Thread

    Turning the fuel off 3 seconds after liftoff. The plane had no chance. :( If it was suicide, it will be the 1st time in 10 years someone did it with a plane full of people I think. https://www.gq.com/story/germanwings-flight-9525-final-moments Civ Fanatics had a thread on that Germanwings...

    What are you watching on YouTube now ?

    I liked when it was dancing, or when it crossed the road, but then it started on the houses around 12 or 13 minutes. :(

    What Video Games Have You Been Playing? Five-and-Twenty: I Used to Play, But then I Took an Arrow to the Knee

    Planet Crafter on Steam. It is really fun to play on co-op with a friend. :) I think you can choose from 3 planets to terraform, or a 4th if you get the DLC. It was almost half price during the Steam Summer Sale.

    What are you watching on YouTube now ?

    George Lucas' 1st film at age 25 in 1971. Who knew he had an eye for visual effects? :dunno: Budget was a bit under $1 million? Less than it cost to remove Superman's mustache!

    [RD] Trump in Charge: The MAGA Presidency

    Iran, the Red Sea, and the West (tm).

    Trump bombed Iran, ya. Not a huge surprise with six $2 billion stealth bombers on the move Friday night. (We have about 20 of the $2 billion stealth bombers, so 1/3rd of them) Maybe some other ones from Diego Garcia or elsewhere performed the attack...

    The AI Thread

    We need a college kid to give us the scoop! I remember showing a friend's dad this amazing new thing called Google Search once, long ago, when it was new. :o I assume it is just lots of apps that cater to college kids? :dunno: They also probably share all the good stuff with each other as well...

    Arrgg, is USA at war with Iran now? :mad: Did nobody feel like mentioning it? Congress might want to know... https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114699514822488706 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114699610769479275 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114699621000737127

    An oil tanker has crashed into another oil tanker at the Straight of Hormuz. https://www.freightwaves.com/news/dark-fleet-tanker-collision-sparks-fire-near-strait-of-hormuz There was rampant G.P.S. spoofing in the area the day before the crash, but everything was calm the day of the crash...

    Iran, the Red Sea, and the West (tm).

    Iran has been enriching uranium for, uh, 20+ years at this point? :hmm: How hard is a crude fission bomb to make anyway? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium-235 Get the U-235 up near 100% from 1%, then collide two sub-critical chunks together like banging rocks together and boom! Even North...

    The Boeing Thread

    Apparently there are 2 videos of the plane with the RAT deployed. The 1st video is a clear one from a smartphone with the propellor noise clearly recorded. The 2nd video is a recording of the first video. The quality is bad and there are people talking on it. The pilot must have watched the...
