Hi
I'm not expecting *you* to answer my dumb question
:¬D

But for your network
Is it possible to use gravitational waves to work as a communication system (on Earth) as an alternative to satellites and cables.
Thanks
("no, how dumb are you??" is perfectly fine tho a bit rude)

My brother fought in the infantry and lost soldiers in Afghanistan. The press used to report deaths before families had been told and I would check my phone over and over, scared it would ring.

I went to the inquest of one of his killed men. I saw his red-eyed parents, girlfriend and baby daughter.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Here's a thought*

Let's stop using AI for anything less than curing cancer etc.

We are 'boiling the ocean' getting it to answer dumb questions and make memes we don't need.

* just a thought from a human.

Thoughts on Clarence Seedorf’s good post-match comments please.
He gently admonished pundits for the 2nd-place-nearly narrative as the impetus to ‘finally’ win, being less important than believing in the future possibility of winning.

Simeone looks like Tom Waits as Hellboy.

Perfectly cast to look sad and exasperated.

Just heard the latest pod where you rightly extol the value of reading and put a call out to publishers.

Alastair- support LIBRARIES!

I grew up in a house with few books but the library became my haven!

Support libraries because they’re the lynchpin of communities!

Would it help if Europe warns Trump that he'll bring nuclear war *closer* if he appeases Putin?

If Europe faces up to Russia, its more likely they would turn to 'tactical' nuclear weapons than a long drawn out war.

If only the "land swap" Trump wants to propose, is Ukrainian occupied land for... Alaska!
Does Trump want peace so much he's prepared to swap Alaska 'back' to Russia the US bought it from?

I know, no but
#peaceprize !

Here's a controversial thought.

After Trump, the next administration will have to pick up the mess of doge, inflation and nations reneging on the 'investments' made when Trump really only wanted announcements.

The Democrats really don't want to win the next election

We've always measured the wrong data.

It always felt kind of right at the time.
We even acted on that data.

Then later, we realised it was the wrong data.

There.
That's it.
