Dudes flailing and afraid of a Trump victory. I've spoken to Ukrainians, and the consensus seems to be they want to be independent, but they want the war to be done more

The Wikipedia article about it is interesting. It was being constructed when the Soviet Union collapsed. The chinese bought it from Ukraine and finished the construction. So it's got Soviet bones, but it's not a Soviet ship

I can understand this. Ai will respond to what you say. Not what it THINKS you say.

That's an interesting way of doing sanctions. What's worse? Cutting them off completely, or changing business practices to ensure you still get their money, but they don't get the product?

The spy was interrogated?

This kind of got brushed under the rug, but you might remember that China claimed they were both spy's. The Canadian government denied this. Then it turns out kovrig was a spy, and he was accused of using the other Michael for espionage activity without his knowledge. That Michael, spavor, sued the Canadian government. The Canadian government settled for something like 7 million.

Kursgesat forgets to mention the incredible forces that would put on the payload. NASA funded a study that suggested they start with a jet going mach 10, or 3.5 km/s. The fastest a person has ever gone is mach 6.7 or 2.02km/s. For efficiency sake, you'd want to get up to speed in a reasonable amount of time. I doubt humans can effectively use sky hooks. Could be really good for stuff though

I'm really out of practice, but I remember that onion fondly. My teacher would have us write our fundamental principles down and then do it again a year later and compare.
