I just finished the Robot Geneticists series by J. S. Morin. It is also known as the Project Transhuman.
The support structure went together as planned. Later on, I will add a hatch to the lower storage.
SciTechDaily: CalTech satellite beams energy from space.
A space solar power prototype, SSPD-1, has achieved wireless power transfer in space and transmitted power to Earth. The prototype, including MAPLE, a flexible lightweight microwave transmitter, validates the feasibility of space solar power, which can provide abundant and reliable power globally without ground-based transmission infrastructure.
This is one of those dangerous ideas that sound wonderful until you understand it.
Deadline: Writers strike nears 100 days
Writers and actors probably have a bunch of legitimate complaints. Everybody has a few jerks in their chain-of-command, so why should they be any different?
BBC: Bud Light boycott over trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney hits beer giant’s sales
Even with the BBC slanting this article, it looks bad for AB Inbev
ATLANTA (AP) — The first American nuclear reactor to be built from scratch in decades is sending electricity reliably to the grid, but the cost of the Georgia power plant could discourage utilities from pursuing nuclear power as a path to a carbon-free future.
I just finished the Trade Pacts science fiction series by Julie Czerneda. The premise is that there is an adjacent reality called the mirror. It’s kind of like subspace or hyperspace in that it can be used, nobody lives there and it has it’s own physical laws. Beings that can access the mirror have abilities that we’d think of as paranormal. The universe has humans, a small number of humans with the ability to access the mirror and various alien species which may or may not use the mirror. The books focus on the Clan, a human-looking species with access to the mirror.
I’ve got good spatial reasoning, so I can think through a project in my head, but it helps to layout the conceptual design. I’ve got some understanding of Autocad’s Fusion 360, but I prefer Powerpoint for this kind of work. Powerpoint has pretty powerful and intuitive functions for drawing things.
I have a blog because I got a dog. Sparky is a great dog and I can go on about him. I have a blog so I can write about having a dog without boring everyone to death. I can’t imagine how a mundane article like this gets column space in the Wall Street Journal, but of course I read it.
I am not now, nor have I ever been, a dog person. One of my earliest memories of a dog is from when I was around 5 years old and a neighbor’s golden retriever knocked me face-first into the concrete.
