DARPA sets new records for sending power wirelessly in c/technology@lemmy.zip
[–] kirkoman@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Previously, the POWER system managed to use a laser to beam 230 watts across one mile (1.7 km) for 25 seconds, and an undisclosed lesser amount of power as far as 2.3 miles (3.7 km). Now, DARPA has managed to increase this to 800 watts for 30 seconds at a distance of 5.3 miles (8.6 km).

Whatever happened to "Barbarian Batman"? in c/comicbooks@lemmy.world

Behind the Curtain: America rejected soft liberalism in c/politics@lemmy.world

Expected “soft liberalism” to mean neoliberalism or watered-down liberalism, but apparently it refers to wokism. “Top democrats“ blaming defund the police, DEI, and soft border policies.

I guess the message is that Trump won on racism, so we should have been more racist.
