Trump is trying to fool, he releases data without metadata and doesn't release info about government SAPs on UAPs. Like reverse engineering or biologics. Boring.

It's still funny that it took the President to release these pics and you all are like "its a bird".

Last month Trump threatened to destroy the Iranian civilization. Doesn't this threat precisely give Iran a reason for wanting a nuclear weapon? I have a link to an April 7th article quoting his threat in th url above. I admit I did not think of this logic, I saw an article saying something similar the other day, but I can't find the link.

Japan intervened in the Yen currency market. It went up about 3%. Contributing to the weakness BoJ's pace of normalisation lags behind other central banks.

New comment by mark336 in "Artemis II heat shield same as Artemis 1"

mark336 — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 19:40:25 +0000

The heat shield in the Artemis I test flight failed. Now the Artemis II is using the same heat shield because to redesign would have taken 18 months or more. The heat shield failed because of the trajectory where pressure swings caused cracks in the shield. So they are now going to alter the trajectory where the same pressure swings won't exist. It sounds really risky to me.

Companies will get refunds, but consumers won't because companies will keep the profits.

There is no doubt the tarrifs are evil, but another question is why aren't companies eating the tariffs?: https://asiaviewnews.com/gigabots/threads?p=100054

Ok ok I shouldn't have used "steals". My emotions got the better of me. Venezuela kept some oil the U.S. bought. But the charges of Narco-terrorism against Maduro are ridiculous.

mark336 — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 04:28:45 +0000

The patent system is a oke. They should have something like temporary patents with lifespans from 3 mo.s to 3 years. Or rule saying they can allow a limited number of copycats as long as they try to differentiate at minimum a little.

tech policy aside, I think this is an intelligent move as it consolidates the European and Canadian resistance to MAGA.
