Watch: How will the Artemis astronauts go to the toilet in space?

For the 10-day mission, Nasa scientists have developed a new "universal waste management system" - or space loo.

Apparently it's LOUD...

The suction is so noisy that the cubical is lined with insulation and the crew must wear ear protection while inside.

Another couple obvious bot/llm posts. Not a swarm, by any means but always a shame to see (here, youtube, reddit, wherever it happens).

We see them, but it's not spam and they often have Canadian IPs. Although a VPN is often used. So we aren't sure how to handle them.

Stupid pricing of everything just annoys the hell outta me.

Got two drives having issues in my server and thought hey maybe I'll just shuck another one like I did back in Nov. Look at the price and like is anything not almost or more than double in price anymore? 22tb for $320 in Nov, now $520. At the point where I am wondering if it is just "cheaper" to buy another usb enclosure and put in the older 4tb drives I have sitting around.

Our dollar just does not go anywhere as far as it did a year ago, hell 5 years ago I made less and felt like I made more. Between food and gas and insurance to our crap exchange rate, thing just are not good. I honestly wonder how people are managing. I know if it was this bad 15-20 years ago we would have ended up on the street most likely.

18tb to 28tb are nearly identical pricing which sucks means I Gota drop like $8000 on just drives if I want to build my server.
