Star Trek Mapping: Harmonizing the Maps

Working on multiple maps of the same region of #StarTrek 's version of our galaxy is fun. It's also research-intensive and time-consuming, especially where keeping the various maps consistent with each other is concerned.

From last night's progress to such ends in support of several Tranquility Press fanfic projects...

nonstop non-story nonsense

So....

The 'list' of Epstein 'clients' that existed before, never existed.

The security camera footage outside his cell that didn't exist before - does exist (and rumors are it's been altered)

Now there's also rumors of a little they-go-or-i'm-gone between a few highers-ups in the Trump administration (bondi vs bongino)

Someone resigning or getting fired seems inevitable at this point - who do you think it will be?

Who do you believe Epstein was? A disgraced financier with a sick side job? C.i.a? Mossad? All of the above?

If you were an advisor to Trump, would you advise him to say nothing, do nothing, and wait for it to go away?

Or is this not going away?

Friday off-topic: Origami in space!

Sometimes, people ponder profound questions like: "What's the meaning of life?", "Are we alone in the Universe?", or "What happens if you throw a paper airplane from the International Space Station)?"

Luckily, we now have an answer to the third one, because eventually, someone was bound to try it:

Could a Paper Plane Thrown From The International Space Station Survive The Flight?

Oh look, there's even an illustration! And it looks very science-y:



And a Youtube video of course:

Consider yourselves educated. You're welcome!

The global Fentanyl crisis

Over the last decade, fentanyl and its analogs, extremely potent synthetic opioids, have overtaken prescription painkillers and heroin to become the leading cause of overdose deaths, especially in North America. In the US, synthetic opioids now account for the majority of drug-related fatalities among those ages 18–45, with over 100,000 overdose deaths in 2021 and 2022 alone.
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-north-american-fentanyl-crisis-and-the-spread-of-synthetic-opioids/

These lethal drugs don't just appear out of nowhere. Trafficking networks orchestrate a 3-part supply chain: precursor chemicals (largely sourced from China) fuel large scale laboratory production, often in Mexico and Canada, before distribution into the US and beyond. A major Reuters investigation found that China's lax chemical regulations have enabled these precursors to be shipped widely, sustaining the epidemic.

Friday offtopic. Time is three dimensional?

Mankind is wrong since 1905 ― Experts detect the real dimensions of time

This guy has an interesting theory, and claims this time it can be tested. In a nutshell, he argues time is three dimensional and space is just a consequence of that, so a byproduct. Which in essence turns General Relativity on its head. Literally.

The three dimensions of time he posits:

1. The first line, which would be the direct line that we know.
2. The second would allow us to access alternative versions of the same moment. It would be as if we could revisit an ordinary day and discover what it would have been like if we had made different choices.
3. And the third temporal dimension would allow the transition between these different possibilities.

Just a reminder that Hey.Cafe exists. It's Canadian-based and Canadian-owned. It's an alternative to Twitter and the rest - however well-behaved they are - just in case.

Monthly topic

All right folks, because it's a new month now, we should keep our tradition with the Monthly Topic. The one you guys chose for July was:
 
AI Regulation: Striking the Balance
 
 
And here is the poll for August.
 
What should be the next monthly topic?
 
1) Weaponised Nostalgia: The Politics of the Past
2) Techno-Authoritarianism
3) Deglobalisation: Retreat or Realignment?
4) Youth and Dissent: Gen Z vs the System
5) Conspiracy Theories We Kind of Wish Were True

Rebuilding journal search again

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.
