I think it would be better to convey your disgust through interpretive dance - you might qualify for the Olympics and then go on to win gold!

When the kids from next door lose their ball over the fence and try and retrieve it they’re gonna get a face full of flame!

Would have done better if he could kiss a few babies out on the campaign trail - but the bin over his head gets in the way. It’s a shame, I like Count Binface’s policy platform…and the cape.

I’m with you.

That’s exactly it, thx.

Galaxy colonization simulations I’ve seen suggest colonization speed is exponential, so even a billion years added to the age of the universe should dramatically change things.

I think, if I recall, there was a study done recently that suggested we shouldn’t be too surprised if we have not seen aliens yet but probably soon, in the next 1000 years. But I can’t find the study - had 3D graphic of bubbles expanding outward and meeting.

If it’s true this would affect the Drake Equation quite a lot I would think, making it even more puzzling why there are no aliens yet. Unless most of this new time at the start of the universe was uninhabitable.

I will upvote that pork chop.

Yeah, and I’m pointing to your pointer pointer and I’m a pointer pointer pointer. Or more accurately but less funny is that I’m pointing to your pointer-to-pointer and I’m a pointer-to-pointer-to-pointer.

Why not get those quirky Taliban guys over to America for a Twitter ad campaign, Elon. He could probably throw in a tour of Space X launch site or the Tesla car factory in Texas? (Just keep all the female employees out of sight, shh, mums the word…)

And no Uranus jokes yet - well done Fediverse. Now hold the line, hold!

Copy paste of my research:

Nostr

• Nostr is a Twitter alternative that’s decentralized, not a Reddit alternative.

• Nostr is not P2P. Its a broadcast protocol. Nostr is pub/sub, distributed, decentralized; while others such as Matrix,mastodon, bluesky are federated and are somewhat closed than nostr.

• Nostr is just a protocol - a structured way to send and receive data. Not tied to one-email or a centralizd service for identity. Anyone can create anything on top of nostr. (https://www.reddit.com/r/nostr/comments/14ea9y3/whats_the_difference_between_nostr_matrix/)

• No, they (Nostr) are not doing ActivityPub. ActivityPub requires server-to-server communication, which Nostr does not have. They only have client-server communication. And the actual protocol is different to ActivityPub, all the way from the transport (which uses WebSockets rather than HTTP REST) to the schemas of the objects being passed. They also rely much more heavily on public key cryptography.

• Nostr takes decentralization too far to be practical for a wide audience IMO. The relay model is even more abstract than Mastodon instances (which can at least be analogized to e-mail hosts) and the public/private key system is both inaccessible (copy/paste a key or look people up in a directory-- like a phone book! Friend codes on steroids) and unforgiving (no password resets). Like much of crypto, there are interesting ideas that don’t seem practical in actual use. Curious if it pans out. (https://kbin.social/search?q=nostr)

• But unlike ActivityPub, the Nostr protocol is extensible with NIPS (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips) so maybe there is hope to fix these problems (https://kbin.social/search?q=nostr)

• Browser addons:

  • Snort
  • Iris
  • Primal

• Android app:

  • Plebstr
  • Amethyst (getting more updates than Plebstr)

• Here is a link to most if not all Nostr clients if anyone is interested: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#clients

• Here is a link of clients that Nostr themselves recommend if anyone is interested: https://nostr.com/clients

• Full of Crypto-currency traders.

Radioactive roads could power the cars using them without the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil-fuel cars; combined with the self-driving car technology on the horizon, it’s a far-sighted vision of the future that Ron Desantis should be applauded for - the one catch is every person who uses the roads is dead from cancer, but it’s still a wonderful vision…just hope he doesn’t use the roads while visualizing because he will lose his vision because of the radioactivity.

If you zoom in you can see the pineapple pieces.

So everything in the universe is bobbing up and down or wobbling constantly, like ping-pong balls sitting on the rippling pool of space-time?
