If you think a warship is ever 'unarmed' I have a bridge to sell you.

Hydrogen ICE is not a viable technology for many reasons. Combustion temperatures would require exotic alloys to manage and the power density is quite low. I remember BMW made a H2 ice version of one of their large V12s and it made like 125hp...

What's wrong with using X?

The shiny and dull sides look like perfect mirrors in IR wavelengths.

This would only replace a small fraction of ICE, and only in states that don't cooperate with federal law enforcement officers.

They aren't targeting people for their race.

We do hear from them. Why are you worrying that we don't(without evidence)?

I have noticed this when switching locations on my VPN. Some locations are stable and some will drop the connection while the response is streaming on a regular basis.

The first 'observatory' was a stick placed vertically in the ground such that it's shadow traced the angular relationship of the sun & earth

This is one of those things that is a feature of Claude, not a bug. Sonnet and opus 4.5 can absolutely detect prompt attacks, however they are post-trained to ignore them in let's say ... Certain scenarios... At least if you are using the API.

Astronomical objects that visibly change in human timescales are pretty rare. A naked-eye visible supernova remnant was one of the first clues that challenged the idea that the heavens were static, permanently set by God.

It freezes as pressure drops when you try to use it from the tank. Like how a can of air duster gets cold when you spray it.

You can X-ray a PDF?

It depends on which administration you support if the redactions have been completed in good faith.
