Will this effect Graphene? Too bad that Linux phones don't seem to be going anywhere...

I’m pretty over shaving constantly, but I don’t think I can afford to go somewhere to get laser or electrolysis done professionally right now. How effective are at-home options? Which models of devices are recommended, if any?

Thr reason of course is that thr soldiers are deployed to crack down on people with dark skin having rights or accumulating assets or political power, not any kind of actual criminal activities

A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population.

Named the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust – or GREAT – the proposal was reportedly developed by some of the same Israelis who created and set in motion the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) with financial planning contributed by Boston Consulting Group.

Most controversially, the 38-page plan suggests what it calls “temporary relocation of all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population” – a proposal that would amount to ethnic cleansing, potentially a genocidal act.

Palestinians would be encouraged into “voluntary” departure to another country or into restricted, secure zones during reconstruction. Those who own land would be offered “a digital token” by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere. Those who stay would be housed in properties with a tiny footprint of 323 sq ft –minuscule even by the standards of many non-refugee camp homes in Gaza.

This episode is so excellent. When I was in undergrad Star Trek the Next Generation was appointment TV for my friends and I.Sunday evenings were dinner at Mark’s house and STNG.

We were in awe of this one. Many times we would rewatch the episode immediately, this one was rewatched many times that night.

A recently discovered asteroid roughly the size of a commercial jet will pass within 1 lunar distance of Earth on Sept. 3. Here's how you can watch the flyby live online, courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project.

The near-Earth asteroid designated 2025 QD8 is expected to pass roughly 135,465 miles (218,009 kilometers) from our planet — roughly 57% the Earth-moon distance — at 10:57 a.m. ET (1456 GMT) on Sept. 3.

2025 QD8 has an estimated diameter ranging between 55 and 124 feet (17 and 38 meters) and will pose no risk to the Earth or moon when it makes its close approach later this week, while travelling at a blistering speed of over 28,000 miles per hour (45,000 kmph) relative to our planet.

The Virtual Telescope Project is set to host a free YouTube stream covering the flyby starting at 7 p.m. ET (23:00 GMT) on Sept. 3, which will feature live views of the asteroid captured by the organization's suite of robotic telescopes in Manciano, Italy.

The US Ministry of Defence signed a contract with General Dynamics Mission Systems for $10 million for maintenance and modernization of the combat control system of ballistic missiles "Trident II" on strategic nuclear submarines of the SSBN type. These boats are on combat duty in the US Navy and the UK.

Work under the contract will last until the end of September 2025 and will be conducted in Massachusetts. This will directly affect the schedule of operation and combat duty of British submarines.

One of the British SSBNs will be forced to undergo maintenance in the United States, which will temporarily reduce the number of submarines available for crew training. Most likely, the combat duty of British submarines will be organized according to the scheme: one on patrol, the second on repairs in the States, and the third on exercises at the home base.

This approach has a downside: such a load could seriously reduce the operational readiness of the British submarine fleet and weaken NATO's nuclear deterrence. This could pose a significant challenge to the defense of the North Atlantic Alliance.
