SELCO on the Circles of Survival: The Worse It Gets, the Smaller Your Focus Should Be

Pelosi and Biden On The Rocks?

Researchers believe that looking for techno-signatures, such as structures for generating huge amounts of energy, is not a good way to detect aliens. Scientists have several ways in which they continue to search for extraterrestrial advanced civilizations in our galaxy. One way is to look for evidence of the existence of advanced technologies. One popular idea is to look for signs of Dyson spheres around stars or arrays of solar panels covering other planets. But the authors of a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal believe that this is not the best way to search for aliens. Scientists believe that as any civilization develops technologically, its energy needs increase significantly. This means that potential alien civilizations that have reached a high level of development will begin to build huge structures to receive all the light from their star, which can be converted into energy. Researchers believe that as any civilization develops technologically, its energy needs increase significantly. This means that potential alien civilizations that have reached a high level of development will begin to build huge structures to receive all the light from their star, which can be converted into energy. This can be done by building a so-called Dyson sphere around a star, or by building a huge array of solar panels on the planet’s surface. The authors of a new study believe that it is possible that extraterrestrial civilizations do not need so much energy at a high level of technological development. According to scientists, even when the Earth’s population reaches, for example, 30 billion people, and most people have a high standard of living, and the only source of energy is the light of the Sun, humanity will still use much less energy than all the light from our star provides. They say that in order to detect solar panels on an Earth-like planet within a radius of 30 light years from us, they need to cover at least 23% of its surface. In this case, they will produce huge amounts of energy, which will most likely exceed the needs of extraterrestrial civilization. The authors believe that aliens will not spend money on such expensive projects. Scientists believe that an advanced civilization may also not use Dyson spheres, because such technologies may already be outdated at a high level of civilization development. Most likely, aliens will use the energy of thermonuclear fusion or invent other more efficient ways to obtain energy than collecting starlight. Based on this, the authors suggest that an alien civilization can survive and achieve a high level of development using only a portion of the total amount of energy that their home star produces. Therefore, aliens most likely will not seek to constantly expand their presence throughout the galaxy. Aliens may colonize their planetary system and possibly a nearby planetary system. Therefore, galaxy-wide civilizations may not exist, scientists say. The post People are looking for aliens wrong: they use thermonuclear energy appeared first on Anomalien.com.

In a recent, emotionally charged commentary, “The deranged left is breaking all the rules they claim to uphold to keep Donald Trump down,” veteran journalist Michael Goodwin lists the multitude of vicious things that Trump’s enemies have unleashed against him. Goodwin dates the time when “the gates of this particular hell were thrown open” to the “late summer of 2016 when the New York Times decided to abandon its legendary standards of fairness to make sure Trump didn’t win the White House.”President Biden’s proposed “radical overhaul of the Supreme Court” is now being aimed at Trump, who is still, to the dismay of his powerful enemies, standing like a rock in the wind. The ruling elites are therefore trying to reverse the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity, so that they can launch further lawfare against their target.When Trump tells us that his determined foes are coming after others and not only him, he’s telling the truth.Even now as Biden is leaving office in an advanced state of dementia, he and his party and their multiple media and deep-state helpers are looking for ways to torment a hated foe. Goodwin views this plan as “the latest example of Trump haters using him as an excuse to do the things they once said should never be done.”Although the hatred and persecution that Goodwin documents are real enough, such warfare is hardly limited to Trump. It is the predictable punishment that the ruling class here and elsewhere in the West have reserved for political heretics. Have JD Vance and Ron DeSantis been treated by their shared enemies in a nicer manner than Trump? I see no evidence of that.Please bear in mind that these other “reactionary” figures have not been in the political spotlight as long or as often as Trump. Moreover, neither Vance nor DeSantis has yet been a serious presidential contender. Despite these differences, the corporate press and the left generally have pummeled these politicians with accusations of extremism and bigotry. We may suspect that the media’s recent, thoroughly coordinated attacks on Vance as a “weird” misogynist may be just the beginning of the sludge-throwing against this political heretic.Such defamation can be at least partly ascribed to an attempt to deflect from Kamala Harris’ shockingly radical political record. But we may also assume that the left is really out to make an object lesson of Vance, who clearly deviates from prescribed party lines.The same kinds of defamatory attacks are emanating from the preponderantly leftist media in Europe, where political heretics are treated as “extremist” enemies. Please note that the European Union has denied the Hungarians the right to continue exercising the rotating presidency of their organization for various ideological offenses. Such behavior in the past has included the Hungarians’ unwillingness to accept migrants for the sake of enrichment and their failure to provide the young with LGBTQ+ instruction. But Hungary’s conservative premier Viktor Orbán has also tried to negotiate an end to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Such an action has been condemned as an outrageous attempt to end Europe’s present crusade for democracy. When Trump tells us that his determined foes are coming after others and not only him, he’s telling the truth. If Trump were not steadily in their crosshairs, then his detractors here and in Europe would be spending more time on other heretical politicians.While Trump’s abrasive speaking style may offend the selectively offended, he is certainly not the only internationally prominent populist politician in the West who has suffered dehumanization. Other advocates for the democratic right, such as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, and the leaders of the German Alternative für Deutschland, speak more coherently and less insultingly than Trump. But they can expect comparable treatment from those who determine European and American politics and from the media priesthood that guards our woke state religion.What makes Trump different from others is that he has survived the hideous ordeal Goodwin described. His enemies have thrown all their weapons at him. Some of the more malicious Trump-haters have even denied or at least minimized the assassination attempt against him, and yet he stays in their faces, as he exhorts us to “fight, fight!” Although there are certainly more polished representatives of the populist persuasion, no one has done more than Trump to earn the presidency because of his superhuman endurance.What has befallen this figure should upset us. But do we in the opposition control enough resources to change the situation? I’d like to believe that we do, but Scott McConnell’s gloomy argument in the American Conservative seems quite compelling, as Harris rises in the polls in her bid for the presidency and as the MSM successfully hides her appalling past positions:The media is a political superpower, and so far, at least has indicated it will do virtually anything to advance her [Harris’] candidacy. The chance that Trump can actually help himself in a debate with Harris seems, to me, very small.I’d be delightfully surprised if this statement were proved wrong.

With the latest tvOS 18 beta 5, Apple added a clever way to access Safari. According to Apple TV aficionado Sigmund Judge on Threads, Apple is adding the ability to push external links to nearby iOS devices. As of now, this feature seems to be limited to Apple Vision Pro experiences. However, the possibilities are endless. In this case, if you try to watch an Apple Vision Pro immersive video, Apple displays an "About Apple Vision Pro button." It then opens an AirDrop page to send a Safari link to your iPhone or iPad to the company's spatial computer page. Post by @sigjudge View on Threads As Judge notes, this tvOS 18 feature could introduce special integrations, including the ability to distribute related media like books, soundtracks, and AR experiences to iPhone and iPad. This seems likely as tvOS 17 expanded Apple TV capabilities by introducing the FaceTime app. Using your iPhone camera and microphones, Cupertino takes meetings to the next level on a big screen. This feature even brings Stage Manager, reactions, and other resources for the best video chat possible. With tvOS 18, the FaceTime app adds Live Captions for English in the US and Canada, so users can read what others are saying on a call from the TV. Beyond these changes, tvOS 18 is also bringing other improvements to the Apple TV app, making the best streaming app even better: InSight: An Amazon Prime Video-like feature that displays timely information about actors, characters, and music from Apple TV+ movies and shows onscreen in real-time. Users can select an actor to view their background and filmography page or quickly view the song that is playing in a scene and add it to an Apple Music playlist. Enhance Dialogue: This feature is getting smarter, leveraging machine learning and computation audio to deliver greater vocal clarity over music, action, and background noise on Apple TV 4K. In addition to HomePod speakers, users can now enjoy Enhance Dialogue when listening through built-in TV or HDMI-connected speakers, AirPods, and other Bluetooth-connected devices, and when playing supported content on iPhone and iPad; Automatic subtitles: Subtitles now automatically appear at just the right moments with tvOS 18, including when the language in a show or film does not match the device language, when users mute or when they skip back while watching something.
