Scalable New Fusion Drive
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Of course we need to produce fusion energy first and we are still short on all that. However using perostaltic energy confinement is a nifty concept and it is easy to imagine such an engine continously producing one g thrust. The apparatus is mind boggling though. All good though and i am glad we have this. We just need fusion magic. *Scalable New Fusion Drive* *Brian Wang | April 8, 2021* *2https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2021/04/scalable-new-fusion-drive.html* *The Helicity Drive concept is a novel magneto-inertial fusion concept designed for a fusion space propulsion sys...
Pesticide exposure linked to childhood central nervous system tumors
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The best you can say about a study like this is that it is in the expected direction. essentially some women were likely exposed and this led to some children accumulating some pesticides. The best fix has to be better tech. Crop dusting drones and robots can far batter localize these sprays. That is coming. Better yet we will simply eliminate these pesticides. Long term they degrade the soil and must be abandoned. Greenhouses will likely fix most of this.. *STUDY LINKS PESTICIDE EXPOSURE TO CHILDHOOD CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TUMORS* ...
Lance-Corporal Hitler - WW1 Trench Runner
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Do watch this film which properly reviews hitler's experience. Most of us have been exposed to some form of bad mouthing of this experience which by the way literally bad mouths the experience of every common soldier engaged in WWI. That is so wrong. He had an honorable service, and quickly became a messenger and literally became much too valuable to even promote to leadership tasks. At the same time he had zero prior military training and was the original ninety day wonder. This meant that he would need training in military protocols for promotion and any slack ass could b...
Boys lag behind: How teachers’ gender biases affect student achievement
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I do not have a copy of the study, but the result is important. It is that gender bias is important and really significant. To start with, i do not know how you can avoid such bias. Going through High School i noticed this effect in favor of hte boys. Today we have the obverse happening. My point though is that a personal connection through the teacher is very important in inspiring the necessary extra effort. Male on male and female on female tends to work best in this case unless the teacher is specifically trained to pay attention. I personally got lucky and my high sch...

Three years ago, four F-22 Raptors taking part in the second-wave of the U.S.-led coalition’s opening airstrikes on Islamic State in Syria dropped their bombs. It was the first time the stealthy fifth-generation fighters had ever engaged in combat. The coalition’s war planners also used the F-22s to leverage their low-ob...

Yet, if they share the same technology it is possible for these fleets to also share vital intelligence and targeting data. The tactical and strategic rationale for large-scale U.S.-allied cooperation is in larger measure grounded upon the idea of interoperability, meaning the technical capacity to share combat-r...
Could Israel’s F-35 Fighter Jets Soon Deliver Nuclear Weapons?

The Myth Of Black Buying Power Is Robbing Black People Of Their Power
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 21 hours ago
The myth of black buying power - that black people collectively hold trillions of dollars in wealth and that they could improve their economic status if only they 'spent their money more wisely' - has been used for more than a century to take the focus off the systemic racism and uphold capitalism.

Flood Plains are for Floods
*by Viv Forbes* Natural flood plains form where floods spread silt and mud in river valleys. Being flat, fertile, picturesque and usually supplied with surface and underground water, they attract farms, orchards and gardens. These are inevitably followed by roads, houses, infrastructure and businesses. Despite this, all the planners with their rules, the pressure of people plus a bit of corruption has always resulted in population clustering on fertile flood plains and deltas beside scenic rivers.
