I have commented before on this, but wish to emphasize. The lane control on cars is computer controlled. Recently we were very close to being wrecked by it. It horribly oversteered, violently rotating the steering wheel, turning hard right into the lane right of us, then correcting hard left. I have since talked to 5 or 6 drivers and they aĺl have turned it off and recommended I turn mine off. I already had. The most recent case is a neighbor who has rented a car and immediately turned off the control. You can now use lane control in cruise control. Think before you do.

The best example of biological obsolence might be the reduction in the horse population upon the development of motorized vehicles. Special dogs, now extinct, were also bred to run in treadmills:

And of course, who could forget the Dodo bird:

"The dodo achieved widespread recognition from its role in the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and it has since become a fixture in popular culture, often as a symbol of extinction and obsolescence."

Evidently the Republicans have a plan such that those who do not work, will no longer have food stamps or health insurance:

"Tying federal aid in exchange for work is "common sense," according to House Speaker Mike Johnson, who said it would encourage people to get jobs."

Such a blind policy proposal. Not everyone who needs insurance can work.
The MAGA republicans DO NOT CARE about the people in need but are eager to shout out that Jesus is their Savior ? Utter hypocrisy!

4:50 -- Scooby you are correct. Check out the Lord's own prophetic words:

It probably requires only able bodied people to work. I'm sure there is an exemption for those declared medically unable.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
