In my view, the mission was much less a scientific one than a political one. The target was the lunar south pole, a previously unexplored area. The mission was scaled back from including a lunar rover because of Western sanctions after Putin's War in Ukraine began. It is speculated that it went ahead to prove to the world that sanctions would not affect Russia's ability to lead the world. The landing coinciding with BRICS would also be a political thumb in the eye of the West over the ICC kerfuffle, and it would bolster Russia's image in that group, particularly by one-upping India by two days. This is not just an egg in the face. This is Putin being held down and letting the henhouse drop their product on him.
I still expect to see the Russians taking a page of Irish history and using the Red Hand of the O'Neills rule to claim it arrived first at the south pole area of the moon.
Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews, a U.S. Marine Corps sniper, tells Congress that he was denied permission to shoot the suicide bomber in Afghanistan that killed 13 service members and over 170 civilians:

“Plain and simple, we were ignored. Our expertise was disregarded, no one was held accountable for our safety,” he told the committee.
He also described the moments after the blast:
“I’m thrown 12 feet onto the ground but instantly knew what happened. I opened my eyes to Marines dead or unconscious and lying around,” he said through tears.
“A crowd of hundreds immediately vanished in front of me and my body was catastrophically wounded with 100 to 150 ball bearings now in it.”

Windows Secure Time Seeding resets clocks months or years off the correct time. //
Microsoft’s repeated refusal to engage with customers experiencing these problems means that for the foreseeable future, Windows will by default continue to automatically reset system clocks based on values that remote third parties include in SSL handshakes. Further, it means that it will be incumbent on individual admins to manually turn off STS when it causes problems.
There’s quick, and then there’s launching a car with such brutality that you can legitimately feel your cheeks pulling away from your face. It takes the Automobili Pininfarina Battista just 1.8 seconds to accelerate to 60 miles per hour. Yet somehow, that isn’t the most eye-popping detail about this hand-built Italian hypercar. Ditto its $2.5 million asking price. //
Those EV guts consist of a T-shaped 120 kWh battery pack and four electric motors, one at each wheel. Max output is a yes-you-read-that-correctly 1,877 hp (1,400 kW) and 1,726 lb-ft (2,340 Nm) of torque, and while the aforementioned 1.8-second 0-to-60-mph sprint is ludicrous in its own right, even more impressive is that the Battista never lets up. It takes less than five seconds to hit 124 mph (200 km/h), and you’ll see 186 mph in just over 10 seconds. The Battista’s top speed? 217 mph (350 km/h). You’ll be there in no time.
To avoid inadvertently launching the Battista out of your driveway, output is restricted to just—just!—670 hp (500 kW) and 863 lb-ft (1,133 NM) of torque in the default Calma drive mode. The Battista uses only its two front motors in this setting, and by the way, how hilarious is the thought of a 670-hp front-wheel-drive car? Exercise some restraint with your right foot and Pininfarina says you can actually see a driving range of 300 miles (482 KM) in Calma mode. But man, good luck not flooring this thing on every stretch of open road. //
Everything the Battista does is immediate. The power delivery, the brake force, the steering response—there’s no delay to any of this hypercar’s actions. Credit goes to the absolutely phenomenal chassis, which allows you to carry absurd speeds through turns with perfect balance and composure. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are a boon for traction, but there’s still so much sheer force being sent through the Battista’s quad motors that the car occasionally skips a beat if you floor it while exiting a corner. Everything is controllable, and that playful skittishness is always on the driver’s terms.
The power, the punch—it’s an absolute thrill. The Battista is like nothing I’ve ever driven. And that includes a Bugatti Chiron. //
Did I mention this thing is definitely a cop magnet?
There’s a fully built-out infotainment system to the right of the steering wheel, which I admittedly did not use much because I was too busy melting my face off. //
Also, it’s worth noting that, despite this test car being an early prototype that’s been through a lot of customer and media test drives, the whole thing is holding up shockingly well for a hand-built Italian car. (Not something I can say about most Lamborghinis, honestly.) During my drive around Malibu, California, not a single squeak or rattle was present.

A functioning justice system is a citizen’s best peaceful defense of his liberty, assuring him that his lawful exercise of freedoms will be protected. There’s a reason four of the 10 original amendments the founders affixed to their newly minted Constitution regard the rights attendant to a fair trial. When the justice system forfeits citizens’ trust, trust in the integrity of the republic itself goes with it.
We don’t have real elections if candidates are jailed — or chilled by the threat of jail — to keep them from running. We don’t have real legal recourse if DAs indict lawyers until other lawyers become afraid to defend an ostracized client. For all Democrats’ pontificating about the rule of law, it doesn’t exist if it’s only applied and misapplied to half the country. If we no longer uphold equal justice under the law, we still have a country, but not the one we thought we had.
As my colleague Joy Pullmann wrote a year ago, “A country that harshly prosecutes people or lets them off Scot-free based on their political affiliation is a banana republic. A two-tier justice system is not a justice system. … Its purpose is not justice but population control.”
A fair justice system isn’t the first thing to crumble in a dying republic — there are plenty of warning signs — but it might be the hardest loss to come back from. After all, the law is supposed to be the authority to which Americans appeal when their rights are abused and trampled. What are they supposed to do when the law and its enforcers are doling out the abuse?
Lunar Lander games abound on every platform. Along with Tetris and Pac-Man, the game–in which your mission is to safely maneuver your lunar module onto the moon’s surface–is one of the most widely cloned computer games of all time. But did you know that game players began touching down on the moon in Lunar Lander just months after Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did so on July 20th, 1969?
Rather than compromising infrastructure used to make various MFA services work, as more advanced groups do, a Lapsus$ leader last year described his approach to defeating MFA this way: “Call the employee 100 times at 1 am while he is trying to sleep, and he will more than likely accept it. Once the employee accepts the initial call, you can access the MFA enrollment portal and enroll another device.” //
- A phishing campaign that used MFA bombing and other unsophisticated techniques successfully breached San Francisco-based MFA provider Twilio and came close to breaching content delivery network Cloudflare were it not for the latter’s use of MFA that’s compliant with the FIDO2 industry standard. //
The report contains a variety of recommendations. Key among them is moving to passwordless authentication systems, which presumably refer to passkeys, based on FIDO2. Like all FIDO2 offerings, passkeys are immune to all known credential phishing attacks because the standard requires the device that provides MFA to be no further than a few feet away from the device logging in.
Microsoft finds vulnerabilities it says could be used to shut down power plants
Exploitation is hard and patches are already out, but the potential risk is great.
Microsoft on Friday disclosed 15 high-severity vulnerabilities in a widely used collection of tools used to program operational devices inside industrial facilities such as plants for power generation, factory automation, energy automation, and process automation. The company warned that while exploiting the code-execution and denial-of-service vulnerabilities was difficult, it enabled threat actors to “inflict great damage on targets."
The vulnerabilities affect the CODESYS V3 software development kit. Developers inside companies such as Schneider Electric and WAGO use the platform-independent tools to develop programmable logic controllers, the toaster-sized devices that open and close valves, turn rotors, and control various other physical devices in industrial facilities worldwide. Specifically, the SDK allows developers to make PLCs compatible with IEC 611131-3, an international standard that defines programming languages that are safe to use in industrial environments. Examples of devices that use CODESYS V3 include Schneider Electric’s Modicon TM251 and the WAGO PFC200.
Islamic Jihad announcement: “the Al-Quds Brigades said in its military statement that the deceased fighter, ‘Ahmed Adel Attia Abu Ramadan,’ (27 years old), one of the Mujahideen of Al-Quds Brigades in the Al-Wusta Brigade, died today, Saturday, Muharram 25, 1445 AH, corresponding to August 12, 2023 AD, as a result of a mistake while cleaning the weapon.”
Both consumer and server processors from Intel show the gap. For consumers, all PCs or laptops with Intel Core processors of the 6th “Skylake” generation up to and including the 11th-gen “Tiger Lake” chips contain the vulnerability. This means that the vulnerability has existed since at least 2015, when Skylake was released.
Intel’s corresponding Xeon processors are also at risk to Downfall. Due to Intel’s dominant position in server processors, virtually every internet user could be affected, at least indirectly.
We followed Code Pink’s ugly antics for years, but lost track of them, so we didn’t notice as the group became an outlet for Chinese government propaganda. A NY Times report reveals that after a well-connected Chinese businessman married a Code Pink co-founder, money poured in and propaganda poured out, including defense of Chinas actions against the Uyghurs. //
The Times article is about widespread Chinese government funding of leftist western activists. When the history of the climate and other ‘social justice’ activism meant to tear down and weaken western societies is truthfully written, I have little doubt the that Chinese government (and the Soviets, now Russians) are behind much of it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/05/world/europe/neville-roy-singham-china-propaganda.html //
It’s good that Code Pink has been revealed for the “peace” fraud it always has been. They are not for peace, and they never have been. Perhaps most important, it’s becoming even more clear how much of the western leftist activism is funded by and influenced by China to undermine our society.
Harvard Loses $15 Million Insurance Claim For Legal Fees In Famous Race Discrimination Case, Appeals Ct Calls Arguments “Gaslighting”
What is happening here? First it was Oberlin College, now Harvard, where I’m rooting for insurance companies. First Circuit Court of Appeals finds Harvard failed to comply with claims notice requirement of insurance policy, and its main argument was “little more than gaslighting.”
A key lesson in unintended consequences that would-be #ClimateCrisis heroes may wish to be mindful of as they endeavor to save the planet from us humans. //

Typically anything smaller than 25m in diameter will burn up in our atmosphere, depending on density, and considering these rocks were dislodged from the surface they are likely not very dense (mostly rock, little metal).

As an example the Chelyabinsk meteor was estimated to be about 59 feet in diameter. It did not reach the surface of Earth. It exploded over Chelyabinsk Oblast with the force of 26 to 33 Hiroshimas, but the damage to Chelyabinsk Oblast was minimal because the blast was high up in the atmosphere. A 15 foot boulder is not a concern.

Elon Musk with Bill Maher tonight:
"You have talked about this Woke mind virus. In really apocalyptic terms. You should explain why you don't think it's hyperbole to say it's pushing civilization towards suicide. First of all what is the woke mind virus?"
10:27 PM · Apr 28, 2023
“I think we need to be very cautious about anything which is anti-meritocratic,” Musk said. “And anything that results in the suppression of free speech.” Those are the things that are dangerous about the woke mind virus, and the fact that “you can’t question things, even the questioning is bad.”
Maher agreed and said he thought that wokeness wasn’t building on liberalism (classical liberalism), that it was the “opposite” of that, including when it comes to free speech.

Elon Musk on Bill Maher:
"Free speech is extremely important. It's bizarre that we've come to the point where: Free speech used to be a left or liberal value. We've seen from the 'left' a desire to actually censor. That seems crazy."

But he had a warning for anyone pushing censorship who wants to so damage society, “The thing about censorship is that – for those who would advocate it – Just remember: at some point, that will be turned on you”
The report by Special Counsel John Durham makes clear beyond a shred of doubt that the Russia Hoax was the most atrocious weaponization of our government in American history. It was a crime like no other.
Exports rankings have been greatly influenced by political and economic changes between 1991 and 2021. For instance, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to significant changes in the export profiles of its successor states. Additionally, the accession of new countries to the European Union has affected the rankings of some European nations.
