I am an space minded individual, like to armchair philosophise... I have my masters in space tech and have a spacey job...

Just thinking that it annoys me when tesla says humans only use vision to drive, we smell fires and leaks, hear cars going past or the wall of the tunnel, we feel the texture of the road and rumble strips. We have several senses. @Tesla @elonmusk

This chatter about Greenland makes me wonder if a grand bargain is in the works between the US, China and Russia, they let the other take, Greenland, Taiwan and Ukraine. However EU and India lose in this game so I hope they prevent this eventuality.

[George Calder-Potts @georcp]

If trump takes Greenland, then he validates china's 7 dash line and the right of a stronger state to take the territory of a weaker state.

A narrow minded focus on Russian ICBMs will lead to wars everywhere as nations attempt to take territory for security purposes.

Thought for the night, bitcoin is known as a channel for grey and black payments. People who have the means to pay the miners what they need to keep the system running. I suspect if there is a way to regulate bitcoin the price would collapse. If net neutrality is broken perhaps?

[George Calder-Potts @georcp]

Interesting article about hard drive failure, made me think that "AI" or predictive text generation could replace the vast majority of the written record and the originals are lost due to disk failure. So if AI collapse happens we may enter a #moderndarkage.

Turns out they honoured the contract but did not tell me. I just got a nice surprise when I supercharged and it was free. Was only 1 year not 2, but I am grateful to receive it. Thank you tesla.

[George Calder-Potts @georcp]

So I really like my new Tesla model Y, it is a pity that I was promised free supercharging only to have the offer rescinded because I did not buy from inventory. In spite of the only mentioned criteria being order today.

[George Calder-Potts @georcp]

I am posting here more out of disappointment that tesla sales representatives do not keep their word, even when in writing. #Tesla #tesla_deutschand

[George Calder-Potts @georcp]

For me the hassle of cancelling and reordering was not worth the 1200 euro savings especially as the car might have had issues leading to it being on inventory in the first place.

[George Calder-Potts @georcp]

The salesman did say cancel and reorder for 500 euro off and the 10k supercharging miles, but this was after I had done the financing and shortly before I had my certificate of ownership mailed to me.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Not sure if the platform has a weight of its own. In which case the solution is a bit more complex. 4 variables, 3 equations. horse = sheep +10, sheep = frog + 4, horse is at least 14, sheep is at least 4, platform is max 6

[George Calder-Potts @georcp]

@Doineedtolabel Many ways to deal with it. E.g. if they ask about the weather describe the types of clouds or my preference describe the impact of the weather on your activities. But yes small talk for some is sounding like a broken record.

Was great to be involved in producing this video however indirectly. Really nice to see how MTG-I1 is coming together.

[EUMETSAT @eumetsat]

The catastrophic fires in #Rhodes are clearly visible from space here, as #MTGI1 observed their resulting large smoke plumes on Saturday.
Please note: this is preliminary commissioning data.

The new space race, which country will be the first to put a woman on the moon?

[George Calder-Potts @georcp]

In about a month, I will see the fruits of my labour as the first MTG-I instrument telemetry comes down. Looking forward to see what surprises are in store. https://t.co/kaisb1Dpzf

On a train to London to get a Eurostar to #IAC2022. Should be fun!
