[quote]Radiation fries hardware: Without Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field acting as a shield, cosmic rays bombard servers, causing data corruption and destroying delicate processors over time. Computers in space require expensive, slower "radiation-hardened"

This doesn’t appear to be true based on experiments done on the ISS. They do experience more correctable errors but the hardware doesn’t get “fried”

COTS hardware will be used on the lunar rover scheduled to be launched later this year

If I was coach there are very few batters I’d allow to challenge. They just don’t have the experience with the system and when it’s the right time to challenge. In MLB the Brewers tried a system where they hung a green card in the dugout and it got shutdown quickly.

For now I’d tell my catcher in the earpiece when the time is right and then let him decide.

Brewer banned ABS strateg

And how did this guy know that Trump would be at the dinner Sat. night when he had never gone to the Correspondents dinner before? This teacher booked a $3k room, likely needing to reserve months beforehand, just on the chance Trump would be there?

Trump confirmed on March 2 he was going to the dinner. Allen reserved room on April 6

They really should have podiums and any seating areas have ballistic shields (non conspicuous) leaving a much smaller target and a space to duck into for cover.

Usually steel plates are behind the table skirt and in the podium. That’s why they have them duck down behind it.

We also learned that at Butler the bunting around the edge of the stage is just a cover for steel plates.

re: SPLC blacklist still used by companies to steer donations.

Posted by hob on 4/25/26 at 8:52 am to TrueTiger

The government coerced companies to fund the SPLC. I think it was around 2016 when the Obama administration started accusing banks of discrimination. The banks could avoid further scrutiny by making donations to the SPLC.

There was no transparency to that process. I wonder if it still exists?
