Here is the weapon used in this mass shooting
If you use an LLM for math, you must check every calculation. The other day, I tasked Grok to calculate the propellant mass flow for an engine with an ISP of 300,000s. The figure it gave me as improbably low. Turned out that it somehow worked with an ISP of 325,000,000s.
This is annoying because number crunching is something computers excel at. I'm giving very simple parameters: the distance to be covered (2.25 AU for the first leg), the preferred acceleration rate (1G), and the Delta-V budget (500 KPS). I can't get them to agree on burn or…
I can’t believe it’s happened. Here we are. This is a very dark moment. Standing at that frightening crossing, and they’ve crossed it. One of Ireland’s most popular News Publications has officially named the Jews. Not “Zionists” Not the “Israeli Government” Aiming at all…

This is a sign that she ought to investigate the nature of the entities following her, and the effects of her own practices, if any. It is unlikely that she will.
Women has a mental break and starts screaming at him because she thinks his necklace pushed away the ghost that follows her around.
Lt. Col. (R) Tony Aguilar was fired from his position while on a contract in Israel because he is everything GBs and the SF regiment as a whole despise, which is why he sold this nonsense video to the BBC. Notice he offers zero proof of Israeli soldiers doing anything wrong. He…
🚨NEW: Former U.S. Green Beret Anthony Aguilar says he routinely witnessed Israeli forces (IDF) firing artillery tank rounds and mortar rounds into crowds of unarmed, starving Palestinians at GHF aid sites in Gaza. “I witnessed war crimes,” the GHF security contractor told the…
They told millennial girls they could do anything a man could do, to be confident and "take our place" in male jobs and spaces. That the world would be better when we did. Why would they lie like that? New article is live now 🔗👇
Gaza is a tiny place. Just how many journalists, doctors and aid workers can it truly support?
Breaking: Earlier this week, Palestinian media reported that journalist Walaa Al-Jabari and her family were killed in an Israeli airstrike, including her husband, Amjad al-Shaer. But now the IDF has just revealed that Amjad was the head of Hamas’ Counterintelligence Directorate
Greetings and Salutations, @BBCWorld . You have, once again, been bamboozled. This⤵️ is part of the current leading item on your home page. Dr Al-Deeb is an interesting guy. (1/5) @imshin @EFischberger @MarkZlochin @SchoolBondOtter @CAMERAorgUK bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0k7…
