Weird, random, and somewhat novel.

NASA Picks Two Missions to Explore Venus, the First in Decades The purported detection of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus remains an open question, so perhaps these missions will shed more light. Potential signs of life on Venus are fading fast

Math, science, reason, logic, masks, ... 😛

An intriguing shot of a caisson in service.

What happened here?

I went to the chemist today and asked the assistant "what kills the Corona Virus?" She replied to me "Ammonia Cleaner" I said "Oh, I am sorry, I thought you worked here"

I saw this on SlashDot. It seems appropriate for here: Autonomous drone attacked soldiers in Libya all on its own To quote Harrison Ford, I've got a bad feeling about this.

If you ever try "driving" in Ecuador, you'll never complain about American drivers again.

Unfortunately, I never could produce good diary. I'm envious.

That party is heading down into a very dark place. At one time I once supported guys like Bob Dole and John McCain, but I don't recognize the Republican party any more.

I don't think it has gone through peer review yet. You have to flash back to 2020 when the pair made a similar claim. However, the peer reviewed version of their earlier paper did not include the claim. https://fullfact.org/health/richard-dearlove-coronavirus-claims/ Hmm... well, alternative hypotheses do have their uses in science. If nothing else it's a stress test for the natural origin theory.

Well I'm all for an investigation of the events, but frankly I think the FBI will do a much better job. All this demonstrates is that the Republican party is now (for the most part) a sock puppet.

No sure what your point is here. I do remember when Taiwan was presented to us as a model response. I suppose all they did in the end was buy time.

Yes I agree, although it will continue to stoke suspicion. It might be better to define first why we need access; are we just looking for blame, or is there an additional value in discovery? I think the latter, although the Chinese government will claim the former. Any data we do actually receive will be heavily scrubbed.

Last night's NOVA was pretty good: "Great Electric Airplane Race". A number of those vehicles could pass for a flying car.
