Most of it. It's loud enough that I can hear it pretty clearly when they launch the rockets.
It's been a few years since I went down the Kennedy to watch a launch. It was so difficult last time that I guess I just haven't thought about it since.

Speaking of space reminded me of this http://www.geektime.com/2017/03/30/finlands-reaktor-plans-first-network-of-lunar-satellites-as-nasa-esa-lay-groundwork-for-moon-infrastructure/amp/
Elon is running like four massive companies Three of which are set to change the world well, two i guess Since he's got SpaceX and Neuralink And he's got Boring Company and Tesla
TN
I dont deny or doubt he will be written into history books as one pf the great industrial minds or however they will be called now But that doesn't mean i need to like the pipedream guy and his semi-religious stance on science
>>74995 What he's done with SpaceX actually is historic. He is one of the great pioneers of space travel now.
>>74999 We'll see! I don't know anything about it. The stuff he wants to do with vacuum sealed trains all over the country is one of his more outlandish projects. Some of his projects that have no chance of being realized still make scientific progress though.
I think he could make it work, it's just a matter of the initial investment being too great.

>>75007 musk's model is feasible regardless of what thunderf00t tells you the fact that it hasn't been shown to work yet doesn't mean the model isn't feasible since the model hasn't been created
I hope his Neuralink stuff fails though. That's a step towards the future I'm afraid of, we need to be careful about linking brain and machine. That sort of thing needs to happen after we're fairly adept at space travel.
That sort of stuff is fine. I'm afraid of the future where we're stuck on earth and every human is catalogued and there's no escape from the extremely rich even in your own mind. Even worse is stuff where people are being rewritten. Or where the average human is a slave to the augmented elite.
This may be me being a bit of a crazy religious person, but I think the world will end before that sort of thing happens though.
AI could easily outpace humans. But editing the human mind is a lot more scary to me.
There's also a potential future where people are copying themselves to computers and then throwing their old brains out thinking they're getting immortality when they're really just committing fancy suicide that I think is pretty scary.

>>75020 Thenpeople who envision and hope for this intreque me Haa i'd be writing my thesis right now on something like this if things went the way i desiree
As far as everyone else is concerned, the digital you is just you You're the only one who will realize something changed, and if there's a soul, you should be gucci because obviously it'll go to the now-you, right? And even if it doesn't, god can't really blame you for thinking it might
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
it's a digital representation of you but there's no way to prove it's exactly the same as you
TN
>>75027 It <lacks your body and senses, even if it really is you, you have as an entity changed already so muxh that you barely can be called "you" anymore
sk
>>75027 There's no way to prove it isn't you either As far as anyone else knows, it's you. to them you didn't die
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>75029 yeah but "prove it's not" isn't a real argument in this kind of situation
sk
Proving something is exactly the same is proving it doesn't differ in any way And that's equally impossible
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
that's totally untrue you can prove something exists but you can't prove something doesn't exist for example
Why would your digital copy be inhabited by your soul?
sk
>>75032 And you can't prove that no differences exist Being the same isn't a thing you can check for in itself, you have to prove there's no differences That the differences don't real
>>75033 It's still you, right, and the other one went away so The soul isn't a body thing, it's not an organ, so the question is how is it attached to begin with?
a soul is the thing that animates the body i mean yeah it's a big part of you but it's a part of YOU
ergo not part of a machine that has a copy of you
sk
For all we really know, you die the same way every time you go unconscious or something You can't really prove that you right now is the same "you" as yesterday, other than being made of the same constant parts The consciousness you're experiencing could have been rebooted overnight, and you would have absolutely no idea You remember it as being you, but it's not provable
I think if it's something like a ship of theseus situation where you slowly augment the person, they may be preserved. But if you just copy their brain and throw the original in a trash can, it's totally just fancy suicide.
>>75043 the flaw in this argument is that we would have an idea if we became a different person
sk
So what I'm saying is You may die every time you go unconscious, is it really different at all, in any relevant way, if you die and wake up as a machine?
yeah necessarily i'm not gonna say everyone will but the majority of people will
what does reboot even me mean
sk
As in, it stops and starts again Just like it would if you died, and someone turned on a computer with a perfect copy of your brain
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
how does rebooting necessitate a new "you"
sk
Because the reboot is that
Like what exactly IS "you" at this point? What makes you waking up from something that shuts your consciousness down and then starts it again, different from you waking up as a machine after your body is destroyed if that machine is a perfect replica of how your brain operates
I think we're talking about different things I don't think I'm able to properly express my thoughts on this
TN
No we are not The continuing of consciousness has been around bur it stems from times brains werem't that well studied Or the subconscipus mind for that matter
Of course the philosphical side remains, but for any philospher to just ignore mateeial facts when pondering th3 immateeial would be folly, especially when the whole "are you of tomorrpw srill you" is a debate that arose from

I won't consider it over until Tuesday. I managed to do a ton of really good work today. I still have three and a half more days of work to do, though.

I said on monday that i was going to take the rest of the week off i took none of the week off and still have a long weekend ahead of me it makes me sad >>>/watch?v=-n8fn7k9NiE
are they packed to the brim with people or is it usually just a handful of people they scare me but it's like 20 bucks to get a trip to saint louis or birmingham and that's a good deal since i don't have a car
>>75146 I'm going to try. I got a book on it. I think it may not happen until next year. It's the time of year that you should start them right now, so either I have to rush or I have to wait a year.
That's really cool. I thought about it after the demonstration at the gardens but I decided I'd just admire beekeeping from afar instead sasuga yuu good luck if you succeed show me lots of pictures
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I have // well my family has a history of bee allergies and things that can end up stinging me tend to be on my bad news list.
>>75150 there's a lot of cool new tech that's come out recently i think i remember hearing some talk about some special starter hives made with 3d printing or something maybe it was just a shitty gofundme project i dunno are you doin it for the honey or more for the hobby? it's pretty awesome to be able to send people jars of honey that you collected yourself for christmas
i lost my centipede farm back in saint louis. i'd like to start a new one but i have only seen one centipede since moving to tennessee. it's kind of lame i haven't been able to collect any honey from centipedes so far though
>>75153 Mostly because it sounds amusing and because I might make some money off it. They're supposedly low maintenance with a fairly high return too. There may even be state/federal money for raising them since bees are dying. And you can get small business tax credits as long as you turn a profit.
That's a good idea. I need to start looking at how to establish myself as a business or something independent contractor taxes are hell i'm going to have to file an extension, and even then i probably will just opt to pay the 0.5% late fee some time next year instead i didn't know they were subsidizing bees now that's pretty cool
I'm not sure if I can get money for it though. You may have to live in a place where the bee population is in peril.
八十八
It should be easy enough to turn a profit for the tax credits just plop up a website and sell some jars you'd only have to sell a few i think >>75159 oh no where's my detox teas billboard did i delete ie
Honey sells quite well. I will probably not turn a profit the first year because I have to buy the equipment, but in the years after that it should be easy to turn a profit.
This legal work is pretty fun so far. The pacing is way smoother, courts are nice enough to use good quality microphones and several channels instead of recording from an iPhone in the middle of a conference table it's paid by page instead of by audio minute, so i'm not losing out on money when the attorneys are rattling off six paragraphs a minute ive actually only done like 60 dollars worth of work in the same time i could have made like 200 dollars normally by turning down other work to do this training, but that's why it's training there's so many formatting things i have to keep looking up if i get ready and steady with this stuff i'll be a lot happier and less wound up all the time i think i even get more time to listen to music while formatting and prepping documents, since i spend l ike an hour just compiling cover pages for the documents and stuff plus law is interesting. not that market research isn't, but i don't have to listen to consumer opinions in law
ive got a cecilia who's almost got five merges now four star obviously i'm not even disappointed she's not five star she fits really well with my olwen and kagerou (sp) and liliana
>>75179 I'm here to inform you that's a bad idea. Whether you can afford it or not is not going to change how you feel when you start the roll and it's four reds and an uncolored orb, and they're all going to be shit
okay, it's time for me to complain about video games. Years ago when I bought this game and was playing it. I specifically remember them saying something like "once we go in, there's no turning back." Of course, there's still like... three chapters of combat in between that moment and actually going in but I believe that was part of what made me pause on playing in the first place.
Fast forward to now, I can leave the area and go back and complete more Guild Quests Speaking of which, there are NEW guild quests that only appeared after I left.
actually i have sunday off for some weird raisin it's because he doesn't want me to hit over 40 again until i'm salary i think so i only work 3x12 hours this week plus 2x3 hours and 1x1.5 hours i'll still have to crunch some hours to not get OT

well you can tag 50 people in a post and use it to spam gore and porn now
So I guess the change is that @names don't count towards the 140 limit
sk
And there's a cap of 50 @names
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
they don't count and also they are tagged above the post and it's hard to untag yourself so every time a reply is made no matter what you get notifications so people are getting like 500+ notifications
I only ever get mentions when it's in a reply to me, or a reply to that again Which sometimes does get a lot, because I'm not exactly the best at moderating my tweets so people will either really disagree or really agree
i occasionally get a reply from real people if i make an actual comment instead of a shitpost
i need more anime right
sk
I mostly just get likes From "alt right"ers and sometimes hardcore leftists Because I'm not a point on the chart, I'm the coffee spilled over it while trying to put down a point I'm all over the fucking place with seemingly no goddamn rule
Which really, I think is superior I'm not big into having one connecting philosophy for all of your views It may feel good to have some rule you stick to, some grounding philosophy, but if you fuck up in getting to that rule at all, EVERYTHING is now boned as a result
Like what if taxation ISN'T theft once you think about it the right way, now libertarians have according to themselves the WRONG VIEW ON EVERY SINGLE THING
sk
It's better to just consider each issue on its own, I think Not that it's even doable to have one all-encompassing philosophy You can't fucking do it, your brain is gonna have a hiccup somewhere
If I have any connecting philosophy, it's a vague notion that the government is there for the people, not anything else The government's priority is the economy only so far as it benefits the people, or else there's no fucking point If something benefits the economy but hurts the people, the choice is usually easy for me
i'm trying to get my professor to start doing a reverse colbert sort of thing where he pretends to be a liberal for like a news show that we'd put on youtube
sk
liberal is such a dumb political label The majority of people, to such a degree that it's absurd, would say they're 'liberal' if it wasn't tainted by one political side It's not like "conservative" That's a good term, it means something that's different from the fucking default
sk
Like everyone's 'liberal' it's just a matter of what they mean by the term The left thinks it means more freedom for people, the right thinks it's more freedom for corporations

I bet they are at some resort or shit, cause where else would they have gotten three cottages on that short notice, with power and decent enough internet capabilities.
Kirara☆
Maybe they are running on generators and Shia will hunt for his food!
>>75433 No, i am just saying there isn't really land and free cottages up there. It is easier to secure a lakeside or seashore plot of land then get a piece of land in the lappland or a cottage just suddenly available, especially with so good upload speeds you can keep a stream like that running.
Lappland is basically siperia, but more bureaucracy

is there any policy about whether the president can divorce while in office can a single person be president? is there anything legally stopping trump from divorcing melania and marrying hillary right now, aside from the fact that it just wouldn't happen i'm just curious

there's no law preventing it no he could be a single man as president and he could marry hillary

i stopped watching in season 3 is it worth watching more? it got kind of less interesting and way too ridiculous
八十八
i know exactly how you felt season three made me think "well it's fucked now, what are they even doing" how far did you get in season 3? as a result, i had low hopes for season 4 and i was fuckin wrong they brought it full circle in a mostly satisfying way i'd say it's definitely worth watching more, but it depends on what it's competing for in terms of time if you've got little time to spare, maybe save it for a time when you're not cramped
