The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

So the electrical inspection is done.

No major issues, grounding connection on the boilers gas pipe needed replacement was the only issue.

All is well.

A series of giant orbital platforms that block excess sunlight during summer and are equipped with massive lighting arrays for during winter.

Ignoring the expense, physics limitations and insanity - just imagine trying to come up with orbits that would make this work for a single point!

Doubling down on transphobia hasn't worked out well for you.

What makes you think doubling down on AI slop is going to go any better?

They could have patented it and had a massive safety advantage over their competitors, but that would have led to unnecessary injuries & deaths for people in other companies cars.

People over profit.

As an example of how much Volvo is committed to safety: The 3 point seatbelt.

A Volvo engineer developed it as a step up from prior lap belt designs.

The higher ups tested it & it was found to be a massive improvement.

So rather than patent it, they gave it away freely to all their competitors.

Can't help but picture it as a later refit of the Okinawa class.

I've always been a BIT of a hoarder, it's why I always have stockpiles of old tech on demand, but this has gone from "Cuboard full of parts" to "Room full of junk."

That's not a parts bin, thats a pathology.

And I can finally SEE that.

Course I still have to clear it out, but I'm wokring on it.

Finally admitted to my hoarding problem to a few folks and its kinda liberating to actually tackle the problem.

In short: Frozen grief for a decade and holding onto the things I had kept from clearing out dead family member's homes.

Plus a salvaged tech stockpile that is sizeably junk.

From a rock and fossil auction site, anthracite peacock coal.  It's dark black, but with a rainbow sheen on shiny exposed surfaces.  Photographed on a white paper towel.

Such a pretty rock! But the US burns about 500 million tons of this stuff each year.

You're looking at anthracite coal. The surface layers sometimes produce something we call "peacock coal."

Let's talk about the chemistry & physics of iridescent coal.

Allister Heath

Both are good choices, apparently Necrons got a VERY OP boost in a recent update I'm told.

70+% win rate OP, so they will get reworked soon.

Jay's collection is just filled with cool old cars, I love that even now he still does vids on them.

Hell, ended up using quite a few of them as reference materials for tabletop RPG stuff due to the breadth of vehicles covered.

You might enjoy Intergalactic Binman's car company vids.
