It might not be the biggest of the many harms they cause but it's just a beautiful cherry on top that now they're hogging all the RAM, so the prices have tripled. It's like they go out of their way to shit all over everyone else. And then they act confused when people dislike them.

They turned the home screen button on my phone into a Gemini button so if you press it for slightly too long you get AI and presumably are counted in metrics of AI use.

I feel I have a head of unremarkable size and for me to be eight heads tall I would have to be way taller than average male height (in a country where people average relatively tall). Eight heads tall is some weird aspirational thing.

It's incredible how business and government are suddenly falling onto a very pro-piracy stance. I'm not sure why they think anyone should care about their copyright either if it's going to be like this.

Yup! A huge 10 meter wide thing, shaped to resemble the expected pressure and temperature profile of the nuclear plasma at the pusher surface.
It's interesting how much computer simulation was involved. The document talks about it. They also validated it against Starfish Prime and other tests.

I didn't even think that they wouldn't be projecting anything at the pusher but just blowing up sheets of high explosives affixed to it.

Damn, nice find! That's also a whole Orion document I've never seen before. I wonder how many more are out there. I know my GA-5009 series (I think vol. 2 is not available), right from Atomic Rockets, of course...

Is this the tip of the iceberg for the giant underground nuclear spaceship lair

Yeah, but I don't see how the shock absorber assembly would work if it's hanging off the pusher like this. Not like the pusher can move forwards. Also there's no obvous place there for pulse tests, what's with the pit and the building and the wall...

So many questions. Why upside down? How are they supposed to move through this facility? There appears to be a solid rock wall between the one inside and the one hung outside, which is also in a pit. Are the ones outside actually just plates and the one outside the only full craft?

I'd just want them to do the same thing they do but be cheaper tbh. There was this kind of development in phones pre-smartphones (I'm marking myself as an old here) where part of the expected way phones developed was that they'd be cheaper every year.
