The burden of proof lies on those who say it exists, not the other way around.

I forget that the punishment for obstruction is on-the-spot public execution by a trained officer.

I for one would find it far more acceptable if the people carrying out the deportations would be a little less "shoot U.S. civilians in the face for not listening" about it.

We are not. These are embryo-like structures. Not actual human embryos.

For the record, your website starts out "Our website has no flashy buttons, fancy graphics, eye-catching JavaScript animations, or stock photos with grinning people, and that is by design" and then your website goes on to have every single one of those things.

This seems like a recurring theme in todays world.

Interesting project, but the custom scroll behavior on the site is obnoxious. It makes navigating the site more difficult than it should be. Might be something to reconsider.

This person is not affiliated with Meta.

The irony in complaining about the guidelines, while dismissing the very last item. Classic.

> Is it possible.

Using current technology we could probably make an object go faster than that so yes, it would be able to catch up.

However, we'd probably just put better instruments on this new object and make that the priority.

I attempted to build flight control software for a quadcopter[1]. I had a few major life changes around this time and it got packed up and I stopped working on it before I got the PID controllers worked out. But I essentially wrote a small game engine and had to learn a little calculus along the way.

Can ChatGPT predict all future world events and all the overall reactions to them? I'd easily pay $5 a month for that service.
