We need a new round of voyager probes with modern technology. We should be at least trying to reach another solar system.

That’s why you’re supposed to submit an unused swab with the samples, so that they can make sure the swab itself isn’t the source.

That only works if both swabs suffered the same contamination. If the contamination is sporadic, then it won't show.

And the method to analyze the swabs could also contain contaminations that screw the results.

Because that’s like saying you’ll develop a fuel additive to stop the body from rusting. Physical damage and weakness can’t be stopped by a pill.

"Body" is a pile of elaborate biochemistry. The muscles don't somehow evaporate when you stop exercising - it's the processes of the body itself that trim the "excess" muscle tissue.

And if it's the body doing that, you can, in theory, find a biochemical way to make it stop doing that.


Seems like a very broad statement. Do you have anything to confirm this opinion?

Do you have any grounds to deny it? If it were easy it would have been done already

No, but I'm not making a statement.

"Physical damage and weakness can’t be stopped by a pill."

If you rephrase that to correct English then it would make sense. We aren't trying to stop physical damage or weakness we are trying to prevent it from happening. Pills can prevent many things that cause this.


This site was definitely slopcoded with Claude. They have a real distinctive look.

No you don’t, you could just ground it. Paying them is a choice.

If we could get Proton for Mac now, it would be amazing.

They’re crazy efficient because they use bunker fuel and have zero legal requirements because they all flag up as a country with no laws.

If Apple can turn it into a replacement for 365, they could kill microslop altogether. They rinse basically every organisation in the country, even though their products suck.

Nobody alive remembers the correct sound

At first I thought this was a joke comment, like you could accidentally fire a hacking missile and hit a hospital… but you’re serious?


Hacks that need to cross an air gap are often self-replicating. Ie you get an email with a compromised PDF, and your phone starts distributing it to everything else on the same network so if you connect your phone to the air gapped network it can get in.

Then you end up with collateral damage if your wife or roommate or whatever works at a hospital and they take their infected device to work.
