I wouldn't mind but for the fact that they're burning up oodles of oxygen and polluting my air, much more once their "Space" ventures really take off... which wouldn't be all that bad if they were actually doing something useful, which they're not, it's merely brief tourism and a stupid waste of resources.
Youtube is the last place anyone should post original music - it gets ripped off. I make original jingles, after a hard day's soul death working in IT... and one of my tunes, my sequence of 12 notes featured on Ridley Scott's "Raised By Wolves", Episode 5 - between 9m 53s and 10.25s. As the notes rolled out, I became more and more incredulous - I knew what note was coming next, note after note, and it didn't stop... my music continued playing at me from a TV show. It was simply sampled and stretched out to occupy more time, without altering pitch, but those are my notes in sequence and my unique instrument. So I've stopped posting new material on Youtube. Fcuking annoying. I left some narked off messages on an answering machine, because after I sent an email to Ridley Scott, his website went offline. It's too expensive to do anything about.
I'm sick of waiting for fusion, thorium reactors please - plentiful, reactors are cleaner, they can't easily be weaponised. India seems to be the only country interested in developing this technology and I for one am thoroughly pissed off that VCs are chasing shiny looking fatuous fusion dreams instead - it's ever 10 years away and has been for decades. Frickin thorium already!
A fight with China means a squabble at the very least, with Russia, There's no mention in the article about Russia, who could jam nearly all of the sky just by themselves - China has been steadily buying up important strategic assets all over Africa and Asia, including many ports. Between them, the can jam the whole sky.

Will "Right To Repair" laws ever extend beyond white goods to phones? I bloody well hope so! It's absurd that the damn things can't be repaired easily using basic tools found in the kitchen such as toothpicks, wallpaper paste and porridge.
> "Cement, used everywhere in vast quantities, is a problem, he notes. In the materials chapter he writes that “Of all the materials I’ve covered, cement is the toughest case of all … limestone plus heat equals calcium dioxide plus carbon dioxide.” He resorts to proposing carbon capture and using materials more efficiently." <
...use Roman concrete instead!

I would replace the left button switch but one of the small buttons nearest the ball is also kaput - can't source those tiny stitches or the small board they're part of. Cursed to buy more M570s... My plan is to eventually have enough dead mice to make a live mouse.
I've been using their M570s for years but:
1. The switches fail in about a year and a half.
2. You will end up with an inflamed forefinger and thumb because of the force needed to actuate the switches, and repetitive pressure on a small area of the thumb.
Despite these issues, it's still my go to all time favourite mouse. I just wrap my fingers in cling film around ibuprofen gel every so often. Their software works so much better than anything else out there. You can program all the buttons. I just wish it had a tilt mouse wheel, to scroll sideways. Come on Logitech, you made the Tilt Mouse and it was great! Shove a tilt into one of these!
Judging by the form of the small symmetrical pool of water under the crack and the positioning of the object relative to both, it was placed there by a New Age/Yoga cult:

It's ratio of 1:9 (the rest is buried) suggests that this object is a place of worship for a New Age cult, not a Yoga cult; representing the Destroyer:

As paraphrased by Oppenheimer: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Will 2020 never end?
