batushka5··on How the United States Gave Up Being a Science Superpower
Jobless climate and gender scientists just refuse to stop stirring up and start learning a trade...
batushka5··on The subtle art of designing physical controls for cars
Reading this feels living through new dark age of Human–computer interaction (HCI). As and oldschool engineer, I was though HCI in year 2008. How to place and calculate controls, heatpaths, click to action counts, colors, where to use what... And all this accumulated knowledge went down the drain (even in military!). Now rediscovered like some lost art.
batushka5··on Adding cooking oil to asphalt to create self-healing roads
Frost free zone, they can enjoy unsealed edges.
batushka5··on US Cloud soon illegal in EU? US punches first hole in EU-US Data Deal
Case there was to force do it actually, instead of just declaring. So people claim there was no deal, which is true, but esence is the doing part.
batushka5··on Eggs US – Price – Chart
In our setting predators do the job - hawks do lions' share (LoL) and foxes the rest. So agingn chicken does not happen. Although we had a rooster - a tiny one, which had incredible surival skills - was over 10 years, killed 2 bigger roosters himself, numerous unobedient hens, survived direct fox attack and dodged hell knows how many hawk strikes. Eventually went blind and had to part with his head out of mercy.
batushka5··on Eggs US – Price – Chart
Once we fed goose with carrot waste - the fat and skin was more orange than yellow!
batushka5··on US Cloud soon illegal in EU? US punches first hole in EU-US Data Deal
Trump administration uses ALL levers to achieve goals, so if EU will push too hard against US companies... Canada, Denmark, Mexico examples show - a deal will me made.
batushka5··on What's happening inside the NIH and NSF
As an european I envy so much this great purge - here entire castes build on feeding from grant money, perpetuating DEI, green transition, gender studies etc. Overnight nothing-scientist/ NGO profesionals carreers are over, like in those "AI stole my job" videos. Sadly EU still holds strong perpetuating this grant bottom feeding, poisoning academia and discrediting NGOs.
batushka5··on What's happening inside the NIH and NSF
This sounds like Hollywood celebs leaving to Canada - no one did. So where will so called top scientists go? Real scientists will continue their work after weeding out. But the DEI, climate, gender studies and other bottom feeders will need to pack for Europe. Or learn a trade.
batushka5··on The young, inexperienced engineers aiding DOGE
Just voter ID finally and lets forget this blame game.
batushka5··on The Toyota Prius transformed the auto industry
800 horse Teslas overtaking narative as "green", "environmental", "eco friednly" is a true sleight of hand from the marketing department.
batushka5··on Type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease attributable to sugar beverages
And how are latam's doing? From your writeup seems to be enjoying life
batushka5··on In my life, I've witnessed three elite salespeople at work
No no no, endulging in fancy diners with industry, running around with gifts and selling from gorrila size vendor catalog is job well done, but not ELITE. Cold sales are KING.
batushka5··on OpenERV

batushka5··on Denmark will plant 1B trees and convert 10% of farmland into forest
And in case they choose "no", that carbon tax for farm animals help to think second time.
batushka5··on An unearthly spectacle – The untold story of the biggest nuclear bomb (2021)
Leaving same weapons just on time totaly aside: when Prigozhin started march to Moscow, and roads were dug - US called kremlin to assure "we have nothing in common, stay strong Vlad". Just imagine what if words "If Prigozhin will become leader we will speak with him" came from the White House...
batushka5··on An unearthly spectacle – The untold story of the biggest nuclear bomb (2021)
They are corrupt. Next time Russia will colapse and ask for food aid (see Bush Legs 1990), we should exchange it for nukes. Food for nukes, sounds sweet.
batushka5··on Marine pilot loses command after ejecting from F-35B that kept flying
The fact that he chickened out of flyable F35 is floating in the air. I don't imagine how he could continue to work with such baggage in the eyes of colleagues. Retiring is sad, but the better option.
batushka5··on Legalizing Sports Gambling Was a Mistake
As a step one online betting should be banned. Make access to it more difficult as with all substances.
batushka5··on Starlink Defies Order to Block X in Brazil
Barelly related, I was not Twitter user, but since X I come up with full length XXX movies in suggestions. Did it started with X or they were a thing before Elon?
batushka5··on Tomato nostalgia as I relive my Croatian island childhood
Netherlands produce really edible tomatos, just your suplier buys D category produce instead of A, which is expensive. I'm surprised that Italy or Spain can't match (maybe because of price) on my supermarket shelf. I don't challenge homegrown tomato - they are superior! But you have to survive winter somehow.
