    This article suggest evolution was stunted until sexual reproduction evolved. I think that's a good line for a young man, "Dolly, the lack of sex is stunting my evolution...." "https://phys.org/news/2026-06-lack-sex-held-life-diversity.html The Ediacaran fauna are thought to reproduce...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Yes, it's the Shaheed style drones at $30-50,000 that have eaten up air defence missiles which cost millions of dollars a shot. That's why Trump was such a fool last year to refuse Ukraine offer of anti-drone drones. They can take care of a Shaheed at $10,000 a round, so the equation turns...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Yes, it's an interesting dynamic. I don't see a resolution by force and negotiations have given us a strange 'Schrodinger's Ceasefire', which may be the best we get for a while. I can see no reason for Iran to hurry a real deal and many for it to delay. WRT to your last line, Trump should be...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    It's very much tit for tat and the responses on both sides are sort of 'proportionate' and not clearly escalatory. Mind you with the Orange Don that could change very quick if one or the other of his neurons wakes up and fires off.

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    I think you are showing those Vatnik colors very strongly with that analysis. Also some very good attempts at humour, this one is a gem: "there's never been any real manpower crisis." When ever a military has to raid prisons, trick foreigners to join up, return amputees to the field of battle...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    Long article from TWZ interviewing a Ukrainian drone operator about the current 'mid range strike' capability. This is carried out by smallish fixed wing drones. Very interesting article, the interviewee plays a dead bat deftly to a few questions. The drones used are plentiful and have been...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Yes, I've seen that phrase used. Probably need a few more than those 4 mine layers, which will be very high priority targets if the party starts. Better get back on topic.... This was an interesting article which pointed a few of the geostrategic changes as a result of the Bibi and the Orange...

    There are some fantastic photos in the Beaker Street science photography prize. As usual I will complain that they don't tell you enough about how and what the photo was taken with. Worth a look...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    This article from the Naval Institute talks about the problems sea mines present in the strait and the difficulty in clearing them. Not an easy job and one made harder as Iran may not have documented their locations well. https://navalinstitute.com.au/de-mining-the-strait-of-hormuz/ It's a...

    Tom Mueller, the guy who designed the Raptor and Merlin engines for SpaceX, has built an in space transit craft, a tug that can take craft from LEO to GEO. Who doesn't like a little tug! 'Impulse has built its public roadmap around two vehicles. Mira is the smaller orbital transfer vehicle, a...

    Mod. Notice Technological advances in weaponry

    Not surprisingly the plug has been pulled on the French, German and Spanish FCAS 6th generation fighter. It's hard to do a 6th generation fighter, it's hard to do anything with France and it's impossible when the participants basically want 2 different planes...

    Play Nice 47th President of the United States: ████████████ - Part 24: Si buscan capitalismo, aquí está!!

    There seems to be something symbolic in the return of the the New World screwworm in the US during the Orange Barbarians presidency. It's moved beyond Texas and puts the beef industry in those states at great risk. So much winning...

    The meteorite bombardment of the early Earth was important in a few ways for the developing. Panspermia is potentially one reason but the article below looks at another - the role the bombardment played in making the crust porous to water and establishing the hydrothermal vents which are...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Yes it would be, it seems to imply it's to take Kharg Island (shh, it's a secret plan! Don't tell amyone), which is certainly doable but holding the Island would be very difficult. I suspect it's just posturing which may explain the stories leak.
