Reply to Robot dogs are taking over the US military by diacewrb
I think we are going back to the Spartans and other elite military fighters who had servants to go into battle with them to carry weapons, assist the soldier during battle, or to pull out injured soldiers, as their only task. Read your history, it’s back!

Reply to Can 3-D Printing Help Solve the Housing Crisis? - Standard construction can be slow, costly, and inefficient. Machines might do it better. by speckz
Nope 3d printers requires a lot of power, still requires a lot of construction by hand doors windows plumbing electric, insulation, sewers etc and each location has its own soil conditions that need to be analyzed for each new development.
Also 3D printer is not cheap, it requires one of a kind machines, transport assembly and calibration by specialized technicians and to have concrete preparation scheduled to the minute so it can flow to the machine.
You just simply can’t have one type of housing plan, because people still care for aesthetics, and don’t want cookie cutter homes. And honestly, there is no guarantee that just because you can build cheaper that’s gonna sell cheaper to the public, that’s the most naive misconception about 3d housing.
You can build a Tesla and use anywhere in the world, but you can’t just buy a 3d house and just drop it in every single market. It’s a tremendous labor consuming effort.

This in turn may affect the child’s health, as the oligosaccharides in breastmilk can protect the infant from harmful microbes and reduce the risk of developing allergies and diseases. by universityofturku
Is this the same fallacy as “women who ride horses have better healthcare”????

Reply to comment by M-S-S in Gold from ancient Troy, Poliochni and Ur had the same origin by Darth_Kahuna
Protoceratops and velociraptor fossils to be precise.

Gold should be traceable to a particular region due to impurities present unless the source truly was mined out eons ago.
Mongolia would be a good place to start for origin since those trade routes gave birth to the idea of flying dragons from triceratop skulls found in gold bearing areas (hence dragon=gold) and their fossil nests with big eggs helping define the flying wings for that beast.

The Romans were specially destructive in mining gold in Spain their hydraulic rams brought down entire slopes of mountains and the devastation can be seen to this day.

And because they are classed as motorcycles safety be damned
Hope their pizza boxes will offer some cushioning in the even of getting crushed by a regular car.

Russia has been sending para-soldiers to fight in Ukraine so they should get recognition for their efforts too.

But there is no money in it. Who is gonna fund a large scale investment? Industrial use requires plastic to be turned into something useful on the same day it arrives or there is no profit.
Might as well use plastic as fuel and burn it and even so it’s gonna be costly because of the smoke and fumes are costly to deal with to meet air pollution standards

Reply to It's becoming increasingly clear that fintech has a fraud problem by marketrent
Well, at least the fraud is with real money, money that is moving thru, and flowing, from one end to the other.
But lord help us, if instead of cash it was all crypto.
