Look, I started c/TrumpStandingNormal with good intentions and we’ll get a post eventually. All he has to do is stand normal for one photo and I’ll get the community going.

Off the top of my head, you could get some solar power with a massive array. It’s possible to generate oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, as NASA recently proved.
I would think any permanent structure on Mars is going to be more like the ISS except underground. So, basically everything will have to be resupplied from Eart. There could be some in-situ resource utilization but it’d be challenging.
Is this about the piss tape?
Medical things, mostly. Everyone experienced the speed that mRNA vaccines can be developed and deployed at scale. A lot is coming from that tech. One of the objectively good uses of AI is protein folding and discovering new compounds. Just being able to target a virus’s weak point is so new, stupid people are freaked out by it.
Consumer tech stuff like batteries and whatever the hype cycle is promoting — crypto or LLMs — gets all the attention but the life sciences field marches on. There are things that are going to revolutionize the way we think about certain diseases. In my lifetime, AIDS went from death sentence to something more like expensive diabetes.
And with emergency care, there are things that even an ER doctor with $200,000 in equipment can only hope to triage today that will be something an EMT can begin to triage on the way to the hospital with something simple. (NARCAN exists now but it’s an example of slow and steady progress. Imagine a NARCAN for heart attack or stroke where we just keep it in our first aid kits.)
Free tools that’ll probably last 1,000 years too. Like, say what you want about the quality of some more complex Soviet products — the cars famously sucked — but there was no planned obsolescence on basic tools.
This would be great but you know centrists will fuck it up and it’ll be like, “You can get up to $25,000 as a tax credit if you’re a veteran who owns a small business in an opportunity zone and have a low income but also somehow have a spouse who is a lawyer and can spend 30h finding and filling out the paperwork and tracking down bank statements from when you both were 19.”
Cousin Eddie has entered the chat.
No one has ever suggested that. We suggest — and I’ll just say it clearly rather than suggest — that people who talk about “races” made up in like 1600, people who cite IQ tests, and people who show their whole ignorant, racist ass online are the fucking morons. Maybe they should show a little humility about their wack ass genetic inheritance.
He needs to get off his couch and debate.
This is a good opportunity to memorize the difference between empathy and sympathy, if you haven’t already.
The interior department might need help with bear carcasses and he proved he can do that at the amateur level, at least.
You should ping CERN or Fermilab about this. Or maybe the Event Horizon Telescope team but I think they used sneakernet to image the M87 black hole.
Anyway, my answer is probably just a SQL backup like everyone else.
