You are very ignorant of the truth. Do you think we landed a probe on the moon that was able to take apart and bring back parts of Surveyor 3in 1969? That would be way more unbelievable than humans doing it instead. What a incredibly stupid and moronic hill you’ve chosen to die on.
Independent civilians picked up the live signals being beamed back from the positions of the landings. These signals were both video and audio. Multiple nations have independently imaged the landing sites with footprints visible. You can even see the shadows of the flags on the moon. That would be a whole lot of design and engineering nowadays, let alone in the 60’s. You can read about these and more here: en.wikipedia.org/…/Third-party_evidence_for_Apoll…
But yeah, clearly the most logical conclusion is that we designed a probe to make fake human footprints, plant a flag, drive around a buggy, take lunar rock samples, plant mirrors on the surface, and obtain all of the scientific data that we have, all in the 1960’s. Then, we just kept sending these probes (which somehow do not appear in any photographs, not even tracks from one) for decades. On top of that, no one involved has spilled the beans, not even on their deathbeds.
I wonder which of these scenarios is more likely. I don’t think you’re a troll or an idiot, I think you’re a full-fledged dumbass.
They react that way because its unbelievable how someone could actually be as stupid as to deny the moon landing in 2024. “You weren’t there first hand” is not as good as a defense as you think, and you’ve used it over and over. Is that all you’ve got? I haven’t been to the war in Ukraine, but I sure as hell know it’s happening. Are you unable to know something is happening without it being in your face?
How would you verify, since you’re the one that doesn’t believe the facts right in front of your nose?
I care because to deny something like the moon landing is to deny the blood, sweat, and tears that went into it, it’s one of humanity’s greatest achievements. To deny it is to deny all science and logic. You’re seriously surprised that people would get pissed off at you when you basically call all of NASA liars? Not just NASA, but also basically all astronomers?
You’re even more ignorant than I thought if you can’t even comprehend why people would care.
Yes, anyone that can’t comprehend that we landed on the moon is stupid, like you. Correct! That is indeed how statistics work.
Hilarious that you’d link an article that says that it actually happened, too.
NASA has sent moon rock samples around the globe. They’ve been compared to rocks retrieved by probes and are the same (this was discussed at length in my previous Wikipedia link). But I guess that’s suddenly not going to be good enough for you, you’ll just come up with another reason to die on this hill. At least I can be happy knowing that we really did go to the moon, I’m sorry your brain will never be able to comprehend that amazing fact. It’s sad, when it comes down to it. I feel bad for you.
So, Tesla successfully lobbies the government to get the grant money to apply to NACS instead of CCS, making it the new defacto standard. Now, they’re seemingly pulling out? Seems like Tesla just didn’t want to have to update their chargers to work with CCS (something that would have been required for that government money, before the lobbying).
On top of that, the lobbying successfully stunted CCS development, even after 700 kW CCS charging had been demonstrated, with future increases planned. Tesla basically killed all of their charging competition with this move.
I’m sure the auto industry is happy to hear this headline after they started to change their vehicles over to NACS and made promises to customers about access to the Tesla network. Rivian, for example, has already begun shipping complimentary NACS adapters for R1 owners, but this will probably throw a wrench into that.

Yeah, cable news wants the war to continue because it means more viewers (money) for them. Also, many of the cable company owners are pro-Israel to begin with, and want their agenda shoved down their viewer’s throats.
Marijuana has been used by humans for just as long, if not longer:
Cannabis was attested to around 12 000 years ago near the Altai Mountains in Central Asia, and since then, cannabis seeds have accompanied the migration of nomadic peoples. Records of the medicinal use of cannabis appear before the Common Era in China, Egypt, and Greece (Herodotus), and later in the Roman empire (Pliny the Elder, Dioscorides, Galen). In the 19th century, orientalists like Silvestre de Sacy, and Western physicians coming into contact with Muslim and Indian cultures, like O’Shaughnessy and Moreau de Tours, introduced the medicinal use of cannabis into Europe.
I absolutely hate that Tesla was successful in lobbying the government to use NACS instead of CCS. You can tell that it was lobbyists because seemingly overnight, the government changed from giving grants for CCS (never owned by a single company) to only giving grants for NACS (a proprietary standard that was opened to other companies so that Tesla wouldn’t have to pay to change their chargers). When the government decided to change to NACS, NACS specifications hadn’t even been sent to other companies yet. A new, better CCS plug was even being developed, one that on paper could handle more than NACS.
Sure, that is a valid argument. But it doesn’t change the fact that the government was successfully lobbied into changing what their grant money could be used for, seemingly overnight. When the grants were announced, CCS was said to become the standard. Due to that, many car companies stuck with CCS, and no doubt that some consumers (myself included) bought a CCS vehicle expecting it to be further developed.
That’s all I was trying to say - I’m more miffed regarding the lobbying than the connector itself.
Bazzite also has toolbox as well, fortunately. Thanks for the heads up though, didn’t realize that.
The good thing about bazzite, while it is gaming focused, you can easily change to a different Fedora Atomic image which is tailored more to what you need. I suppose I’m recommending Fedora Atomic, rather than just Bazzite alone. Bazzite is just well maintained is all.
