The benefit of a space elevator is that the fuel is supplied by the ground and does not need to be carried as part of the payload. Remember in the rocket equation, most of the fuel is used for carrying just the mass of the fuel itself. A space elevator eliminates the rocket equation for lifting mass into orbit, and would be much more efficient than any rocket, reusable or not

No, but they can easily generate text that is statistically likely to look like a source.

LLMs are a probabilistic model of language, not an information source.

They've got nothing on this guy!! They're literally grasping at straws

The mirror DOESN'T flip left and right. Imagine an x-axis as a horizontal line across the mirror, a y-axis as a vertical line up/down the mirror, and a z-axis as a line that comes straight out of/into the mirror.

The mirror is actually only flipping that z-axis that comes out of/into the mirror, by reflecting the light back

I was using the pinebook pro ARM laptop with manjaro linux as a semi-daily driver for a while. It is fine for simple tasks and web browsing, but you cannot expect the hardware to be quick or snappy. I had consistent issues with wifi, and eventually I got fed up with the weak performance and switched back to an x86-64 architecture laptop. In terms of software and support, besides the wifi issues, it was fine

Actually, it is religion which drives that wedge, not science. Science creates no wedges at all and is purely inclusive; the religious people who deny repeatable and verifiable fact-based evidence are willingly excluding themselves, not being wedged away.

Science is waiting and ready to receive any repeatable and verifiable factual evidence that supports religious claims.

EDIT: lol would the downvoters like to explain what they believe is wrong with my comment?

Ah disappointing, building up a stash completely filled with all different types of ammo would have brought some nostalgia. The different and more realistic ammo types was a great detail to the game and a big differentiator between all of the various guns. I'd often be choosing my load-out not based on my favorite or most powerful gun but whichever gun used the ammo that I could easily scavenge along the way. That small detail definitely gave the games a more zone-survival-feel

Hopefully there will be mods to bring more realism and detail back into the game

All of his activities on that day are relevant to creating a complete picture of what occurred, and journalists choosing to withhold details and information is kind of a slippery slope?

EDIT, including this here so it is higher up in this argument thread:

Police will disclose and journalists will often report the number of weapons and ammo or any explosive devices found at the perpetrator’s home, even if they were not brought to the scene or used in the crime. I think the ladder is a detail in the same vein because it is equipment that he had available to him.

That did it! Thank you!

My solution: Desktop Session - System Settings > Session Restore > Start with an empty session

I could probably alternately add the Discover app to the Ignored applications list, but I prefer a fresh session on start.

I have a fresh install of Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 40. Every time I log into the DE, the Discover application opens automatically on start. How can I disable this behavior so that Discover does not automatically launch? There are no apps configured for autostart in the KDE autostart system settings.
