Imagine the luxury of launching probes that have backup antennas, and redundant instruments, power, and guidance.

Bigger rockets promise so much

Being fit to be president and being a candidate with a good chance to win are very different things.

Right now, the Democrats need a candidate that can win. If this isn't their top priority, then how can anyone take seriously their claim that Trump threatens democracy itself. They have to pick a candidate that people really want

she should be the only name in the running

I very much disagree

For her (or anyone) to have a chance, there has to be some semblance of competition (if not for voters, at least for delegates)

A spectacle at the convention would get news coverage, and competition between Biden replacements would be the best way to vet the candidates' viability

The last thing anyone should want is for the DNC to simply anoint any one person without any outside input

In coffee, researchers suspect that the beans, water used for brewing, or soil could be contaminated. Previous research has also found coffee filters to be treated with PFAS, and paper cups or other food packaging also commonly contain the chemicals.

I'd guess it could also be K Cups and non-dairy creamer, but who knows

The researchers investigated whether NAD precusors, including nicotinamide and NR, along with the well-known compound rapamycin could rescue mitophagy, and they found positive results for all of these compounds.

Certainly an interesting study. I hope we get to hear more about it soon, and hope their work is followed up on

TAC promoted tissue rejuvenation, including new neuron formation, and alleviated multiple aging hallmarks in aged mice, revealing the regenerative potential of adult tissues through physiological TERT activation.

Seems like a worthy competitor for the Atlas V

Instead, language is a powerful tool for the transmission of cultural knowledge; it plausibly co-evolved with our thinking and reasoning capacities, and only reflects, rather than gives rise to, the signature sophistication of human cognition.

So, I guess, while the LLM approach to AI does do a good job mimicking the effects of our intelligence, it probably can't really recreate it on its own

That, and a single Rocketdyne F-1 would have waaaaay too much thrust for the job of getting an almost empty booster to hover

(Didn't watch the video, don't know if this was covered)

You know what would happen. After extensive lobbying, all social media platforms would have this warning, except facebook

Yeah, Nixon had been out for a while by this time. Reagan would have been newly elected in '81, but Nixon probably wouldn't have been able to publicly get anywhere close at the time, even though they were in the same party.

The engine uses a design called full-flow staged combustion, where both the engine’s fuel and oxidizer — liquified natural gas and liquid oxygen, respectively — go through separate preburners before going into the main combustion chamber.

I use Jerboa in list view, which gives me a nice, compact presentation of a number of posts on my phone screen. This is great, except now the list is full of left-right scrolling text whenever a community name is too long to display in the allotted space. This is very distracting, and I would love to turn off this scrolling

I looked through the settings, but I don't see a way to turn this off, or a way to simply not display the community name at all (not my preference, but I'd take it over the scrolling)

Can anyone help? My post listings look like they are on a web page from 1998

Edit: Now I see that the scrolling is also applied to long user names as well, and is used in areas other than post listings. This seems to have just started with the latest release. I really hope this can be turned off in settings. It feels like geo-cities in here
