@realBrandonGill There is no widespread voter fraud! The save act is voter suppression. Bravo to those who vote against it.

@Acyn What an imbecile

[James Owens @Taescer]

@FoxNews Ooh… big scary C word…

[James Owens @Taescer]

@Riley_Gaines_ That’s because he also revealed that Russia tried to get him elected in 2020, and he lost anyway! And he doesn’t want that news spread around.

@timburchett @realDonaldTrump Of those, less than 400 voted out of over 4 million. So 99.99% of voters were perfectly legal. That’s a pretty good percentage.

[James Owens @Taescer]

@timburchett @realDonaldTrump The save act wouldn’t have prevented this. It was a software glitch that automatically registered the license holders to vote.

[James Owens @Taescer]

@StateDept Oooh… big scary C word…

[James Owens @Taescer]

@timruss2 It does matter, because if they don’t fix the problems he started and eliminate the loopholes he’s exploited, the next authoritarian will actually take control permanently!

[James Owens @Taescer]

@EricLDaugh There should be a law against attaching huge, UNRELATED, legislations together! That’s just ridiculous!

A new industry is emerging alongside China’s humanoid robot boom: companies specializing in robotic clothing and flexible outer skins.

KNITREAL’s RoboSkin uses seamless knitting, multi-directional stretch, and a soft matte finish to conform to moving joints and complex surfaces.

@CernBasher All in a neat box ;-)

Looks like a picture from Mars!

#PPOD: Sandy Sculptures in Morocco 🏝️

An astronaut aboard the International @Space_Station took this photograph while orbiting over northern #Africa. The image shows a dune field known as Erg Chebbi, located in southeastern #Morocco, near the border with Algeria and northeast of the Little Atlas mountain range. This erg, a wide sandy area covered with #dunes, lies in the northwestern region of the Sahara Desert.

Dunes are created when the wind transports and deposits fine sand, forming mounds of sediment. The dunes in this photo display multiple smooth sides, known as slip faces, where sand has cascaded down from the peak. The windward side, located opposite the slip face, is where the wind blows material upward. The dune continues to grow vertically as long as sediment is available and the wind is strong enough to transport it upward. The large dunes crossing the center of the image, characterized by sharp multidirectional ridges, are star dunes. These are also known as pyramid dunes and are a distinctive feature of the Sahara.

@SawyerMerritt All that sounds amazing! How many of these are actually available for the Intel processor?

[James Owens @Taescer]

@Jim_Jordan 36 States already have it.
Opposing the SAVE act is opposing federal control & overregulation that will suppress voter turnout. People don’t want to go the polls only to find out they were removed from the rolls without notice. Women shouldn’t need a passport to vote!

@DrKnowItAll16 @cybertruck Good that he knows his place LOL

[James Owens @Taescer]

@seti_park Very interesting idea. A nice thick coil of metal to keep everything rigid instead of a pin. Nifty! Thanks for the breakdown!

@SETIInstitute These pictures inspired me
So much as a kid. I eventually my way into spacecraft design.

#PPOD: Viking 1 📷️

This is the first photograph ever taken on the surface of #Mars. It was obtained by NASA's #Viking1 minutes after the spacecraft landed on July 20, 1976, fifty years ago today. The lander touched down in western Chryse Planitia ("Golden Plain") at 22.697°N 312.05°E and operated until November 11, 1982.
