Isn't migration to MENA - specifically migration to North Africa mainly from Sub-Saharan part of Africa?

>I have to wonder if Elon has spent too much social capital for this kind of cult of meme stock strategy to work again.

If social capital was an indicator , then Tesla stock would've cratered 2 years ago. Despite demand for tesla vehicles dropping. I don't think social capital matters these days.

Bambuddy and tailscale was my solution to losing access to mobile app once I went lan-only. Has video stream ,monitoring and control. Plus home assistant integration via MQTT. Only thing I’m missing is the ‘AI’ spaghetti monitoring. But those are rare for me.

I'm running my P2S in LAN mode. But I also blocked it on my router from connecting outward. Sure I can no longer use the mobile app. But BamBuddy solved that for me. It has a web UI that is mobile browser friendly.

Not just stateless, but also lack agency. An LLM or agent isn’t just going to wake up and suddenly decide it wants to perform a certain action or task without prior instructions.

Even if PLAN ships aren’t as capable or matching the U.S, it doesn’t really matter. They just have to be there. The U.S is not going to risk an escalation with China.

This is incredible. I uploaded a diagram of a hydroponics system I found somewhere. It generated additional high-quality diagrams of specific parts of the system. Including the plumbing , nutrient delivery and electrical wiring. It's not entirely accurate. But I still like the concept. Great work.

It's also a deterrence.

I just use a usb switch to switch keyboard and mouse. For display input switching , I bought couple of dell ips monitors that allow switching via keyboard hot keys.

I don’t mind shorts. Especially when I have a few minutes to kill or just want something playing on a side Monitor. Just wish it would auto scroll to the next one without requiring an extension.

Not too long ago, a few gigabytes of data being stolen was a big friggin deal. Now they're swiping data in the terabytes or even petabytes.

That one pic with Solar eclipse is amazing. Especially with the visible stars in the background. it's rare to see a pic from a man missioned with stars being visible in the background.

Do you honestly believe that by repurposing money from missions like these would suddenly free up money for text books? That’s not how it works. Especially not in 2026.
