They already are through selection. China and Russia choose children with favorable genetics for a sport and groom them into competitors.
Nothing illegal about the approach, it’s just creepy to see.

(the news source looks good and worth visiting BTW)
An international team in Japan has set a new record for the fastest internet speed at a blazing 402 terabits per second (Tb/s).
The staggering number is hard to put into perspective. Compared to the average U.S. broadband speeds of around 226 megabits per second, it’s over 1.5 million times faster.
For example, a video game released in 2021, “Call of Duty: Vanguard,” is 170 gigabytes large. With an internet speed of 402 Tb/s, the game would be downloaded in 3 milliseconds. This speed is faster than a blink of an eye — over 3,000% faster.
Back in March, scientists in the United Kingdom set the previous world record for internet speed clocking in at 301 Tb/s. Researchers have increased the speed by over 25% in just a few short months.
Speeds like this are only possible using a fiber optic connection utilizing a multitude of new and different wavelengths to send data across the fiber system. These fiber optic systems will be a technology that will allow “Beyond 5G” information services to work faster than ever, and the technology is expected to become more commonly seen.
Think more like backbone, a bunch of sources and requests all getting there faster.
I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.
Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.
And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.
And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.
Ed: why the downvote?
More like ignore them. It’s been casually effective to date.
It’s our modern diet of refined sugar and plenty more that harms teeth
It’s somewhat within our control to do something about it
What a weird choice to offer: 12 weekends community volunteering, or a full year of your life in the military.
Ed: guessing there must be a pay difference.
The poors will self select the paid military gig because they can’t afford the time off from low pay sustinance jobs to volunteer.
Sherpa are more gods than men, though
Disagree.Plus it saved many spaces after periods
Maybe more a commentary on cultural norms and stereotypes than race?
Let’s hope they figure out how to reduce population gracefully. It’s important to save the planet.
unintended consequence desirable effect
It’s a good reminder of one of the good ones
But danm that formatting could use some cleaning up and brevity to a link
NC Republicans aren’t a government
At best they are a christofascist theocracy
“Fava beans and a nice chianti”
The whole comment still flourishes as satire
That and dear leader shit goblin is certainly a child rapist
IIRC the victim was 13 at the time so the GQP might need to play with the numbers a bit
She looks pretty good for her age
I expect they are using LFP which isn’t fire prone.
Fortunately energy density is not nearly the concern with boats and trains as it is with cars.
And agreed, the modular batteries are a nice touch.
Putin is behind all of it
