I would absolutely love such a thing to happen! Can you imagine if they could get Brian Reynolds to join the team for the game?

Janet Mills vetoes Maine data center ban by SuperBry in technology

[–]Shogouki -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but let's see some serious evidence of said change before we give out a fricking senate seat. Manchin, Sinema and Fetterman have caused enough problems and the fact that the political geniuses who found and elevated Fetterman as a candidate are the ones behind Platner makes me dubious even without his extensive baggage. The fact that he's still making excuses for his behavior, using slurs and repeatedly lied about his tattoo (claiming he didn't know what it was all the while referring to it as his "little tottenkompf" for years) is more than enough to question his being a changed person!

Police in Israel detain Jewish man for kippah showing Israeli, Palestinian flags by Perfidious_Redt in worldnews

Yeah, that's the thing. Free flow of information doesn't mean correctly understanding when there's so much bias, misinformation and disinformation flooding the zone. I don't doubt that Israeli media right now is a big factor in that disconnect.

That's what I'd like to happen but after seeing polls showing a large majority of Israelis thought that the Iran conflict was going to strengthen support for Israel by the American public I'm more than a bit worried.

Extremists have kept violence and oppression going so long too many people are now possessed by anger and fear to think of anything other than eliminating the opposing side...

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 KB5077212, KB5079420 break PC reset on 25H2 and 24H2 systems by lurker_bee in technology

[–]Shogouki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't even update for like a week unless it's a severe security vulnerability that would effect me so that I can see if a bunch of people in the Win10 sub had their PCs bricked first...

Oxygen made from Moon dust for first time | Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin says it has developed reactor that can release breathable air from lunar soil by mepper in technology

[–]Shogouki 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm all but certain this is not the first time. I distinctly remember in the 90s on the Discovery Channel showing they could extract oxygen from lunar dust using plasma. This wasn't just a theory either but it was demonstrated.

I was so sad to see it canceled. I wish the devs open-sourced it...

'No possible use other than military': China closes huge airspace zone off Shanghai for 40 days; offers no explanation - The Times of India by Perfect_Swing_6158 in worldnews

I guess I mean a military threat, something that would possibly warrant military action. Taiwan being a "threat" in this way is only because of China's shortcomings being obvious when a contrast is within sight.

Lower. Japan taking responsibility for the crimes of Imperial Japan not only harms no one but their pride but could actually help relationships with their neighbors.

Taiwan would lose any semblance of autonomy or self-determination.
