A cargo ship crashed into one of two main supports for the 2.5km long bridge at around 1:30AM EDT.

There is an ongoing search and rescue effort and authorities are looking for upwards of seven people.

So same sex marriage bans are unconstitutional, but the marriage unions are still not legally recognized? So close!

Time to Article 7 Hungary. If they want to act like a spoiled child then sit them out of the big boy discussions.

Infinite growth is unsustainable. How long before it collapses?

Human productivity has exponentially increased since the beginning of the industrial revolution. We produce far more food and clothing than can be consumed and there are more than enough homes for people to live in. Generic medicine can often be produced for pennies.

There is no reason that we as a society cannot guarantee at least a basic standard of living consisting of sustenance, a safe place to rest and relax, treatment for common ailments, etc.

God I wish. How likely do we think that's gonna happen though?

I remember a girl in middle school did something similar. Called me over to her friends and asked if I'd go out with her. They all laughed when my lonely ass said the expected.

Screw you, Tiffany.

I'm assuming they got carbohydrates elsewhere? That hardly seems like enough calories to last a working adult for a week. Also that's a ton of sugar it'd take me at least a month to go through that amount but also I don't drink tea like the Brits do.

A hostel company I stayed with a while back emailed me with the subject: "Your booking is confirmed!". This made me frantically check all my accounts since I hadn't booked any hostels recently. I was super concerned until I opened the email and saw... it was a stupid marketing email...

This kind of marketing should be illegal. Don't use Clink Hostels.

I for one would love to use Jellyfin. Though I've found in my personal experience it's not as stable as Plex nor has as many features yet. I currently have both running on my home system but primarily use Plex. One day I will fully switch.

I've read other posts on places like Quora or Reddit about how ineffective lasers would be as anti personal or anti ship weaponry, but what about for point defense? We see cases in the story of the PDCs running out of ammo/jamming/other mechanical failures. Theoretically, lasers would be less prone to such issues as there are fewer moving parts, right? Contemporary militaries have (sea/air) ship mounted lasers to destroy or jam incoming missiles, so why wouldn't this work in space? I understand people or ships could have ablative armor but would that be practical on a missile? PDLs would not be subject to running out of ammo, and if ships can power railguns they should be able to provide ample power for lasers capable of slagging or jamming incoming missiles.
