Quick question for Elon: If Starbase Louisiana will be used to put hundreds of thousands of orbital data centers into a perpetually sunlit polar orbit, wouldn't Starmind result in an all-night-long illuminated ring that be horizontal at sunrise and sunset and dead vertical at midnight? Because if Earth is getting a ring AND a Stardial that would be pretty cool. @elonmusk @SpaceX

Hunter Biden is being sued by the college girl he hired to create the art he claims as his own.

According to court filings, Biden contracted with University of Delaware Art Student Josephine Barron for a dozen pieces, paying 20 percent each time he sold one.

Biden sold the first four pieces for more than $300,000 each and stiffed the artist.

She's asking for the $240,000 he owes her in commission plus $10 million in punitive damages.

@Chestnut_champ Upload pictures to grok

@BocasBrain @ameatpopsicle @RGVaerialphotos Correct.

The picture with all the cranes is the NextDecade project, built by Bechtel.

SpaceX does not significant buisness with Bechtel.

@ameatpopsicle @RGVaerialphotos @BocasBrain Bechtel does no significant business with SpaceX

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Lol. Hopefully its just US intelligence having a good laugh messing with Russian intelligence

As CIA chief John Ratcliffe is visiting Moscow today, it may be interesting to consider the recent leak from the Russian state-owned bank "Sberbank" that discusses eight scenarios for how the Russian war against Ukraine might end. Each scenario has its own probability in %. 1/9

Days before the start of large-scale combat operations against Iran in late February, President Trump summoned his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to the Oval Office in order to ask her if a war with Iran would work and successfully topple the Islamic Regime, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Gabbard outlined running assessments from the U.S. intelligence community, telling Trump that killing Iran’s supreme leader would likely usher in a more hard-line regime open to acquiring nuclear weapons, while the IRGC would rush to close the Strait of Hormuz, destabilizing the global energy market, and strike U.S. forces and partners across the Middle East.

Fascinating study

"Exposure to a disruptive peer in classes of 25 during elementary school reduces earnings at age 24 to 28 by 3 percent."

Misbehaving students exact a measurable, economic cost on peers

“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians (…) Europe today lacks the belief that we are truly a global power”

@davidgrand36971 @RadioFreeTom Lol - NK is believed to use PU239 for their warheads. One of their reactors, Yongbyon, is 5MWe. Satellite data shows the power and time of operation. Calculating the plutonium production, and the potential no. of warheads based on that is straight forward

[Ted Friday @ted_friday]

@jjuddpi @RadioFreeTom That method is the first thing intel agencies do to estimate the no. of plutonium nuclear weapons in a foreign program. It's taught in introductory university classes for nuclear engineering and is reliable when done correctly. Enriched uranium is a little more difficult. Go read

@yatharthmann I'll always think of Rocket Lab as New Zealand born, and have great respect for Beck and what he accomplished against all odds.
