I need to be real with ya'll, I'm disappointed... with the Shapeless Man edit style. I just realized that the lines on his body are completely still and don't move at all. That was one of the coolest features of the Shapeless Man and it made him look a lot more creepy & shapeless. Not sure why they chose to make the lines still, but if the style can be updated to have the moving lines that would be amazing. The eyes also just being solid yellow instead of the yellow & orange gradient bugs me a bit too. I really don't want to complain, but I'm kinda let down with this style. The rest of the set is fire, no complaints from me there, it's just the Shapeless Man style.show more

Dylan Borland: "It almost seems like private business and... part of the IC are really deep into remote viewing and what people know and experiencers right now. That really seems like a big thing going on. Almost as if people are expecting something to come." Dylan goes on to state that sometime in the mid 2000's, "something" showed up on the proverbial radar of the USG. Something that we weren't tracking. This might be connected to a future "tipping point". The rest, is future dated history... The nature of that tipping point? AI x NHI x Nuclear (my opinion)show more

Modern robotic wrist joints often use timing belt differentials... to achieve smooth, multi-axis movement within compact spaces. By distributing motion through synchronized belt systems, a single actuator can control multiple rotational outputs with high precision. This design reduces weight, minimizes backlash, and allows for more efficient force transmission compared to traditional gear-based systems. It is widely used in robotic arms where accuracy, responsiveness, and compactness are critical. The result is more natural, fluid motion-bringing robotic systems closer to human-like dexterity in industrial and automation applications.show more

Today is Tsukuyo's birthday! She was always cast as... the tree in school plays because of how tall she was, and for a long time that felt like something to be ashamed of. But now she can pull off a disguise so convincing that even a careful eye might be fooled. That is what happens when someone takes the advice to start with what they do best and actually follows through. She keeps asking whether someone like her is really okay. The Sensei probably already knows the answer. Today might be a good day to go find her first — though she might take a little while to spot. #BlueArchiveshow more

🚨 ELON MUSK AND NASA’S JARED ISAACMAN JUST SAID... THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD: ANTIMATTER PROPULSION COULD BE THE KEY TO INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL. In a recent exchange, Musk predicted that trillions of dollars will eventually be spent developing antimatter propulsion systems to reach other star systems. NASA’s Jared Isaacman publicly backed the vision. When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate completely, converting 100% of their mass into energy roughly 10 billion times more energy per unit mass than chemical rockets. Why this matters: • Chemical rockets are fundamentally limited by how much energy you can extract from fuel • Antimatter offers orders-of-magnitude higher energy density, which could enable dramatically faster travel and much heavier payloads • It would theoretically make interstellar missions far more feasible than current propulsion concepts The deeper reality: While the physics is sound, turning antimatter into practical propulsion is an enormous engineering challenge. We can produce tiny amounts of antimatter at places like CERN, but scaling it up by the many orders of magnitude needed for a spacecraft is currently beyond our capabilities. Storage is also extremely difficult antimatter annihilates on contact with normal matter. Right now, this remains a long-term theoretical possibility rather than a near-term engineering project. However, the fact that serious figures in both the commercial space sector and NASA are openly discussing it shows how the conversation about deep-space propulsion is evolving. Do you think antimatter propulsion will remain science fiction for the next century, or could we see meaningful progress within our lifetimes? Follow for more frontier space propulsion and interstellar travel concepts.show more

In 1995, 77.1% of global primary energy was provided... by fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil). As of 2024, 76.4% still comes from fossil fuels. That's a 0.7 percentage point drop in 30 years. World governments have spent TRILLIONS of dollars on “green” energy projects, and it has barely made a dent in the energy mix (note, these figures are based on the substitution method for fair comparison, so it slightly lowers fossil fuel figures). The fact is that renewable energy sources, like them or not, are largely add-ons to existing energy sources (primarily fossil fuel and nuclear power) that provide us transient savings in optimal conditions. That may change in the future with battery backup as they become cheaper, but that still won't address the fact that oil is STILL going to be needed for lubricants, plastics, fertilizers, etc. Oil is the backbone of modern society, so even if it were to no longer to be used as fuel, it will be used in another capacity and wars will be fought over it.show more

Twice this week JKIndex.io hit a new ATH in... site visits. Today was one of them, with 1.5k+ unique visitors. Naturally Railway went down on the West Coast like 30 minutes later. Incredible timing haha. Bounce rate is still brutal though. So yeah, A LOT of room to improve. Still, I’m starting to see pretty clearly what gets people through the door. Grading content does. Watching that continue to drive visits is making me more convinced that Blitz should be the consumer entry point. Something people can... > Get better at > Compete ain > Build a track record around Then you can start putting something behind those calls with wager mode, and eventually take that same skill into full Before the Slab markets. Focus is still narrow, but the idea for the Index has gotten a lot bigger than where it started.show more

It is important that the Mark Rutte is with... us in Ukraine at such a brutal moment of this war, when the Russians have once again disregarded the efforts of the American side. Today, Russia carried out a record strike in terms of the use of ballistic missiles. There were 28 cruise missiles, as well as 43 missiles of various types that approach their targets along a ballistic trajectory and can be intercepted only by Patriot systems. This means that missiles for these systems are needed and that deliveries must be prompt. I discussed this with Mark today, and I hope we will be able to implement everything we agreed on. Thank you, Mark, for your support.show more

I really like being able to dogfood the components I build and experiment with them directly within my own project, for visual things like this it’s the best kind of testing Now that all the core functionality are there, the upcoming updates will be less visible but still important: proper keyboard navigation, improved accessibility, a reduced motion toggle, and moreshow more

🚨 BREAKING: MASSIVE STRIKE HITS TEL AVIV AFTER DEFENCES... BREACHED Breaking reports indicate a significant missile strike has penetrated Israeli air defences and impacted Tel Aviv. Explosions have been heard across the city as emergency services respond. This marks a serious moment in the conflict — interception systems are designed to prevent precisely this scenario. When even a small number of projectiles get through, the consequences can be severe. Details on casualties and damage are still emerging. Stand by.show more

I want to believe, but there's too much evidence... that not only tells me but shows me that they lied. I feel like low Earth orbit is as far as we can go... 1. The van Allen radiation belt. 2. The disgusted, unexciting, ashamed post moon landing conference with the three astronauts. Their body language, mannerisms, and answers scream that they're lying. 3. The lack of noise of the jet engines in the "videos." 4. How did they get the lunar rover on the spaceship? 5. No craters or dust underneath the spaceship. 6. How did the film the spaceship take off perfectly if nobody was left on the moon to operate the camera, and how was it so perfect if there was a delay? 7. The rockets and the spaceship look like a model. 8. The video of them saying that they are 130,000 miles away from Earth when all they really did was cover up the windows when they are in low earth orbit and film a small portion of Earth from low Earth orbit to simulate that they were far away, but then you find out that they're only in low Earth orbit when they uncover the windows. (Shown in the video below) 9. How we have to redesign the space suits to be able to handle the atmosphere on the moon. 10. The lack of talk and missions to the moon ever since. 11. The numerous blacked out photos from NASA. 12. How an older smartphone has way more technology than the entire spaceship back in 1969, and how we were able to even communicate with them in the spaceship as the one astronaut who passed away before the moon launch specified that they had trouble communicating between buildings and the shuttle on the ground. 13. Not one single astronaut would put their hand on the Bible and say they went to the moon. Why? 14. All the CGI and bubbles caught on NASA videos. 15. All the green screen captures and astronauts on wires in the "shuttle" and on the "ISS." There are so many bloopers and outtakes of astronauts and shuttle hatches malfunctioning, people appearing in the background of videos of the shuttle, people fading in and out, I could go on forever... How would you convince me against the evidence or prove me wrong from the arguments that I have provided?show more
