There are some very interesting, and arguably more challenging missions coming up including a Venus orbiter, manned space flight and a Martian lander. This should really help solidify the manufacturing space around this.

Before the Toba explosion India was not populated by Homo sapiens. The Levallois technique was found post Toba so the tools are definitely not the same.

It’s going to be very hard to brain drain a country of 1.4 billion people. That doesn’t even take into account the massive amount of money the diaspora sends back. The above is usually an argument people make when they don’t want to let imm

There is so much archaeological and paleontologic work that remains to be done in India. All the research and digs are still in a very nascent stage and I’m excited for the day when the country has more resources to dedicate to these things

I’ve quit for more than 5 years now and in that time I’ve smoked two times in total. At this point, with no tolerance, one bowl is enough to completely blow someone away. It’s no where close to a single drink of alcohol. A couple of shreds,

I don’t even want to hear about possibilities anymore. I just want things made public when it’s here already or available for use right now.

What a dream that would be for myself as well. Electric too so I can charge it up at night and then essentially get free travel during the day even if it only 100-300 miles a day.

AI generated art may be disposable but it certainly is very, very good. Midjourney makes plenty of impeccable art and photorealistic images that have no flaws. Also, even if there are flaws a week with some YouTube videos can teach anyone

A human looking at someone’s artwork is “training a model”. It’s bullshit and anti progressive to say someone or something that is creating derivative works is stealing.

What a load of crap. People become “gay” in jail because they have no choice. A lot of people in heavily conservative societies where they aren’t allowed to easily come in contact with women are “gay”. It’s not genetically defined.

It’s trivial as an Indian to get a tourist visa to Europe. I really doubt this is a valid scheme since it’s harder to do than the regular way.

Assigning a term to the way someone dresses and cuts their hair doesn’t change anything beyond the individual level.

Sure you can but it’s pointless if the party isn’t aligned that way and you’ll never see your views implemented in legislation.

Then you’re a woman that is dressing and acting like a man. It’s a personal choice and no one should have any problem with it. But claiming you are now a man makes no sense.

I’m pretty sure Musk was a much more stable person back then. The thing that completely made him hate the left and lose his mind was one of his kids becoming trans. It really is annoying there isn’t any true centrism and if you have to alig

My dad lost his sense of smell during a surgery and he says he doesn’t miss it in the slightest. Makes no difference in how good food tastes or anything else he encounters in life. In the modern world, it really is a “nice to have” sense.

At one point in the 70s, the Indian government started offering people money to voluntarily get sterilized. These people didn’t have a free choice in the matter, their situation in life compelled them, in this particular case financially. I

Uber is fantastic, much better than some street taxi you have to find and hail. AirBnB is the only way I can realistically find multi room houses to stay in on vacations, hotels don’t offer that and there aren’t resorts everywhere. Not sure

I don’t think the people running the show in Niger have the capability or know how to pull off an underwater cable shear that looks like a landslide. I bet even most developed countries wouldn’t be able to do it flawlessly.
