The Navy has named the seven defense firms who submitted their designs for the new medium unmanned surface vessel (MUSV) marketplace in April that will advance to the prototype testing phase.
The sounds "snap, crackle, pop" may be most associated with breakfast cereal, but on a mid-September afternoon in west-central Missouri, it was weeds in a soybean field that were getting crispy. The marestail snapped, the cockleburs crackled and the pigweeds popped as Ben Kroeger delivered 15,000 volts of weed-killing current to those that dared to rise above the crop canopy.
An ancient killer has plagued humans for millennia. Although it's rarely considered a threat in developed countries today, it seems this long-term villain is still very much a danger in our modern world. read more
There's reportedly a new way for websites to spy on visitors: by monitoring how their computers' SSDs behave. The technique is called FROST, short for "fingerprinting remotely using OPFSbased SSD timing," and it runs through JavaScript on a web page. So far, this looks more practical in lab conditions than in the real world. read more
@#14 ... And NYC has some of the best teachers in the world, thanks to that large Jewish population. ...
While I do agree about the quality of some of the NYC teachers, I remain reluctant to ascribe that quality to being Jewish.
OK, I attended one of NYC's specialized high schools, as I have noted here a number of times previously.
Brooklyn Technical High School

I did not notice a large percentage of Jewish teachers there.
Of course, I have to add, that I was not looking at the religion of the teachers. I did not care back then, and do not care now, about the religious affiliation of a person (or skin color, for that matter).
So, who am I to know?

While I don't agree with the headline, there's this ...
Brooklyn, the Most Jewish Spot on Earth (2018)
www.hadassahmagazine.org
... By any measure, Brooklyn is the most Jewish place in America. Approximately 600,000 Jews now call the borough home, down from an incredible 900,000 in the 1940s. One in four Brooklyn residents is Jewish, the largest proportion by far among New York City's five boroughs, according to the most recent survey by the UJA-Federation of New York.
"There are more Jews right now in Brooklyn than anywhere else in the world, including the city of Tel Aviv," said Ron Schweiger, the borough's official historian, whose Flatlands home is a shrine to the long-vanished Brooklyn Dodgers (the team moved to Los Angeles in 1957). ...

Kudos to those who are saving history, against Pres Trump's attempts to erase it.
"Who Controls the Past Controls the Future" " The Timeless Warning from George Orwell (2025)
echoesofquotes.com
... History is not just a record of what happened; it's a battlefield of power, memory, and truth. When George Orwell wrote:
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
He exposed one of humanity's most dangerous temptations -- the urge to rewrite reality itself.
In 1984, this idea becomes the foundation of totalitarian control: by changing yesterday's story, rulers shape tomorrow's beliefs.
But Orwell's insight goes far beyond fiction. What happens when the present manipulates history? Can a society that forgets truth still build a free future? ...
@#8 ... Pigheaded boomer democrats, who have long outlived their usefulness- they still can't admit to years and years of enabling the various forces that helped fuel the rise of Trump not once, but twice. ...
I'd not be celebrating that aspect just yet.

... In January 2025, the president was set up for success. Instead, he blew it ...
Yup.
Big time.
Pres Trump, in January 2025, inherited an economy from fmr Pres Biden that was vibrant, expanding and with inflation trending lower.
So what did Pres Trump do?
For starters, he raised tariffs to absurd levels, that turned around the decreasing inflation.
Then he went onward to destroy the robust economy he inherited. All as he tried to blame his failures of the prior Biden admin's policies.
... I could go on ...
Yeah, Pres trump inherited a robust economy from fmr Pres Biden, and Pres Trump managed to turn that robust economy downwards.
Much like the six bankruptcies he had.
