As if increasing bicycle throughput isn’t increasing vehicle throughput. They’re vehicles, and can probably achieve a higher passenger density than individual cars can on a city street.

Season 3 of Picard refutes part of panel 2. Also, dozens? I can only remember David, though I’m not as well-versed in TOS.

There’s a Saturn V on display at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, but the people who made that facility important were born in Germany, not Alabama.

Yeah, problem is it’s still 16 months until Election Day, and 18 until the next Congress is seated. That’s a lot of time for this current government to continue to do harm. I really wish we had recall elections at the national level.

Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.

I suppose the one meager upside is that this stone is now tied around Vance’s neck, too, for the next presidential election.

There’s also Artemis, a thriller set on a lunar colony. A little less science than The Martian or Hail Mary, but still fun.

The reporter kind of dropped the ball when it’s a 99-1 vote and they don’t name the one holdout senator.
