Christian Hell, of trading house Tradium, said germanium demand was “through the roof”, with requests coming mostly from the US and Europe.

Christian Hell is the most metal name I’ve heard in a while.

Dibs on the name USA. They can be Donlandia or the Kingdom of Magastan or Dumbass Island.

In the last few years, DeSantis also promoted new laws seeking to expand the death penalty, to allow it in cases of people who sexually assault children, for instance

Sounds like Ron doesn’t want Don coming back to Florida.

I’d take that bet. I’ll stake my position that they just ignore the law altogether.

Guess that makes Bill Maher the exception that proves the rule.

This guy’s right. Isn’t that the one where they made Janet show us her titty? Never forget!

It’s not cheap to wage a war on your fellow citizens.

The report also found students were “reluctant to speak their minds, especially on controversial political issues”, with many admitting that “they self-censor regularly, avoid certain topics entirely, and doubt their administrators would defend free expression if controversy struck”.

I would be relectant to speak my mind in that situation too. Everything is recorded and uploaded now. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

The end of jobs is actually a good thing if we can commit to taking care of one another and prioritizing the safety of the human race over the desires of billionaires. So, we’re probably fucked.

I smell another taxpayer funded bailout for the rich on the horizon.

Mm hmm

The key question: Is this all high-minded political talk from people who will be gone when Mandarin becomes the lingua franca on the Moon?

Fucking nailed it right there. You can’t bully or bluster your way to the moon. It takes a willingness to continue projects over decades and that hasn’t existed at NASA for a long time. By the time China has established a presence at Shakelton, it will be too late for a wake up call. China is investing in science while we’re telling ours to leave for opportunities elsewhere. We’re burying the future and half the country is applauding it.

Incredibly risky decision to conduct this mission and it’s pretty risky to publish this account if DPRK really did not know about it because they’re still going to want to retaliate. It also seems pretty stupid to have a bunch of non coms conduct a mission in enemy territory under a communications blackout. Was there not a single officer to command the mission on the ground? The consequences of failure could literally have been nuclear war.

Unfortunately not all of them survived, so while I fully support their actions, there certainly are monsters escaping justice thanks to Republicans staunch position that child rape is okay if committed by a Republican.

I’m unfamiliar with the 80’s movie and was hoping for an adaptation of Simon R. Green’s space opera of the same name.

They were obviously trying to keep these guys from digging their way back up. Way to go, scientists. You’re part of a guerrilla marketing campaign for the Mummy 4 Peruvian Panic.

It’s a lizard. Headline reads like they discovered a sprite from super Mario.

I managed to solve it in the early 2000s with nothing other than a lot of time. I just messed with it whenever I was not typing at a customer service job. Definitely no genius required. Just persistance.

Found and updated the avoid 2g setting on my Pixel 6. I am running android 16.

Not a lot to base it on but I’d like to see something based in the ancient past with homo sapiens interacting with the other species of humans that we used to share the planet with.
