Before digital cameras Kanye would have had trouble finding a lab to develop the 35mm film for his Nigga, Heil Hitler music video. He'd have been stuck shooting it on actual standard def video.

Then it would have sat in his vault because no cable or broadcast station would have shown it.

Booster 14 back on OLM-1 today, in preparation for its 2nd orbital velocity test flight (IFT-9). The 1st Starship booster to attempt reuse.

Elon's Boring Company:

Fully automated tunnel boring machine.

"For the first time, TBC has continuously mined in a Zero-People-in-Tunnel (ZPIT) configuration. There is nobody in the machine (besides the videographer), which is simultaneously advancing forward and erecting a ring (i.e. building the tunnel). Each full ring weighs ~24,000 pounds [11 metric tons. Compare that mass to the projected 150-200 metric ton payload capacity for the V3 SpaceX Starship]."

A fully robotic tunnel boring machine will be useful for off-Earth settlements on the Moon, Mars and other moons/planets.

@Sulla_Felix The dirty secret revealed by Vietnam was that there is no way for a democracy to impose a draft if propaganda fails. 1/3rd of draftees were non-compliant and only 3000 ever faced any penalty.

And of course there is the problem of enslaving a man then handing him a gun...

Blocked crackpots still rolling out their decades out of date right wing talking points.
