The “Golden Dome” is an idiotic idea from an idiotic person.

It is not a new idea. it is an old story that keeps going on under different guises. Is it the classic old military-industrial complex? I don't know. But I know that here Trump was hired to set up a huge vortex of money to spin around. I see him more as the marketeer in this story.

The last three articles linked.

They all refer to the same news,

Western industries like to cry foul. But if they did not do anything since these bans started about 20 years ago it means that they are happy with it.

I find absurd that many political groups including the Pirate Party moved to Discord. People who that claim to be fighting for the rights of user privacy then invite you to join Discord. Looks like they have been assimilated by big tech.

When was the last time you used cash?

Yesterday evening when I bought some groceries. I didn't buy anything else since.

Now imagine you must use cash, because Visa, MasterCard, Google Pay, and Apple Pay refuse to work inside of the EU

Giving up suddenly 50% of their revenues? I doubt so.

No memory of your own? Already reprogrammed?

The protest were widely reported back then.

Nah let us back in

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

The media and a lot of social media painted the killing of the CEO as a kind of revenge by a victim of the health care system. But to be honest carefully looking at how it was planned and execute I got a very different impression. It looked like a contract killing executed by a professional.

I don't think that this event can be seen as a signal of the status of the system. If that interpretation were true we should see a lot more executives in the health care sectors being killed.

We don’t know the conditions that life arose in on Earth.

Yes, but, given that most of the fossils of archaic life was found where the primordial soup might have been present, that for the moment is the hypothesis with better support.

There isn’t an assumption that if it had liquid water it may have had life

Trouble is that between science and what we get from the media there is a big difference. In science the assumption is not there. But when you see the media reports about Mars or the future planned missions to Europa the assumption is there, blunt and with no attempts to justify it.

The problem with the modern media is that they frame everything in the context of money. Thus they ignore that the Britons joined just for the economy. They are a staunchly capitalist country that never managed to fit within the EU spirit. They kept resisting the integration and asking opt-outs for every initiative. During the exit process they acted as spoilt children, they absorbed all the attention and time of the European council and brought all the other activities nearly to a standstill. All of that tedious process ended up with a partial exit, the UK is still standing on the edge with one foot in and another out.

At this point I think that the best thing to do to stop crying over the spilled milk and do not even dare to think to come back, it would be just a pain for everybody.

A real AI would have explained you that with great probability a room temperature (and atmospheric pressure) superconductor is not possible.

Few experiments were successful with small grains tested under enormous pressures. But apart from that a room temperature superconductor is unlikely due to the high entropy.
