Today I’ll try to go to sleep earlier than usual… it’s not much of a purpose but will try anyway. Night night lovelies!

Also: in times of your grandma’s grand-grandma, there were stars and photographs for fans of those stars…

La Belle Otero as a sleeping beauty, postcard from Paris 1900 when she was 32. Spanish actress, dancer and courtesan, Belle Otero was a star famed for her beauty, lavish lifestyle (at one point, she bought herself a mansion worth 15 million in current dollars) and specially for her many lovers. She earned and later gambled away a personal fortune equivalent to $ 25 million, her shows at the Folies Berges would sell out weeks in advance and her risqué (for the time) postcards were a very sought after souvenir from Paris. Unlike some contemporary beauties, she still would be considered beautiful today and back in my grandparent’s time pretty women would be compared to “la bella Otero” as she was known in her homeland. She would die in poverty in a one room appartment in Nice in 1965, aged 96. She wouldn’t let anyone photograph her past her prime, but rumor has that she still was a handsome old lady when she died.

Literally the best bit of hanging advertisement that you will ever see (from an American branch of Ikea I think).

Hint: it’s all about the text details … I’m not sure exactly how depressing it is that they needed, on some levels to actually state this. LOL

Porbably it’s a one–size-fits-all advertisement ready to go printed on anything from leaflets to aisle signs thus the warning to debunk “false advertising” claims from idiots, scammers and idiot scammers. Judging by the white stuff, the actual thing might be 6-7 cm wide.

Also: those days when a meteorite (almost) knocks on your door…

The meteorite, determined as being a condrite (a very common type) probably hit the ground at its atmospheric terminal velocity, some 200 km/h. It’s the first time a meteorite hitting the ground has been recorded and listened to (the meteorite smashes to the right of the low wall, by the flower bank).

Is it just me or does every iteration of this thread become emptier and emptier?

I think people went to some discords, reddit etc. Instead of one big forum they more like to have their own small chat like groups.

They are developing synthetics like those in Alien movies.

You would have to use translate in you tube tho.

Essentially they use valves and polimers, closely resembling functions and anatomy of humans, with all its evolutionary anatomical physical constrains and functions.

Bruce Willis had a movie about synthetic bodies like that:

The guy in that Polish spoken vid seems really enthusiastic,no, visionary about it.
I think the remote surrogate concept is more acceptable than Elon Musk’s chip in organic human brains.

EDIT: He also looks a little nervous at the end of the vid, while explaining risks.

Thats very nice. You really have that something.

Yes, he knows what he thinks is not really aligned with current world. He develops something that cant really be more good in warfare or in physical capabilities, he will make only a replacement for human in mostly human operable environments, temperatures, pressures, gaseous atmosphere, that is as vulnerable as human is, physically. With kind of soft body, polimers and fluids, that can be cut and then fluids will flow out, making it inoperable and needing essentially a surgical repairs with gluing and replacing artificial muscles, nerves and veins.

Popularising it will have some effect on general population, no doubt, but he is super optimistic that it will help people, and people can only hurt themselves, not his creation. The use of AI in it have already a lot of ethical burden, the machine body he is making is sort of a golem, when it starts having its own opinions then we will worry, not now.
