A laymans opinion on the challenge: Waves lose energy, and the exact placement of antennas will matter. I don't know what the mechanism is called, but we don't place wind turbines right next to each other. That is afaik because each turbine takes some of the energy out of a larger chunk of the wind-wave in an 'bubble' around it, so we place them with optimal distance according to efficiency of that mechanism. If I'm right the effect will probably be minimal. Anyway, just a stab at an interesting thought..

Jeebus man. This car is probably the ugliest car after the Homer Simpson design. The concept is even dumber, and it's hard for me not to look down on buyers/owners of such ugly fanboi thrash-ware..

There's imho no stupid questions regarding personal cyber-security. There are only things we don't know yet.

The Author - Brian Berletic - also have a YT channel called 'The New Atlas'. https://www.youtube.com/@TheNewAtlas. Good quality independent reporting..

I'm old. Once upon a time 'screen savers' were used for ..saving screens, I swear it's the truth :-) I would've bet money on screensavers disappearing when CRT monitors did, but that certainly did not happen. It exploded. I kind of expect that someone by now have created a screensaver ..plugin for another screensaver..

Not picking on you, just feeling old suddenly. I tried searching for 2024 all-time insane screensavers but only found this 13yo one from vsauce: iv.melmac.space/watch?v=zwX95UaKCRg

..but I'm curios what have happened in 13 years, so if any lurkers know better search-fu, please add..

Sharing is caring <3

Looks to me that using shark patterns inside a jet engine (vs as outer skin) incl hardened printing methods is a new tech, and yes everybody can eventually imitate/repeat other peoples tech, but it'll take time to get things right, so the article seem unbiased enough.

Ukraine got the same 'cognitive treatment'. It took US around 20 years to generate a coup. All nations are under information attack from the US, and all liberal nations already lost.

Ouch. I actually thought that HIMARS were one of the few successes, but apparently that were only in the beginning, and now they are worthless. Impressive. The level of Russian EW are confirmed from other sources also. I can't really remember any weapons that have been a success ? All the Western super weapons seem to have been failures.

'Similarly, during democratic elections, Google employed whitelists for sites that should be shown (or demoted) for election-related information'

I'm sure they only use that little 'non-fascistic' feature for home use and not all over the world, yeah.

China, Russia, Iran etc seem to know what they are doing, and why. All people in the western world need to apply a Chinese firewall and block these US state/profit controlled corporations.

Just to add: Even if we can replace the energy from diminishing fossils with nuclear etc, there are still a huge forest/mountain of essential technology and products that are reliant on fossils, and they won't be replaced by anything. I can recommend Nate Hagens on YT for more on the 'energy blindness' issue, and what it means for our civilization to lose the last.
