Amazing store, but I think the elite soccer ball is a tad bit too expensive at $21. I'll wait until black Friday I think then get that for my least favourite nephew.
Great work!

Trivia: Jim Lovell is the only person to fly to the moon twice without landing on it (scheduled "test flight" on Apollo 8, unscheduled emergency on Apollo 13).
12 people flew to the moon without landing on it, now only 1 is still alive (Fred Haise).
12 people walked on the moon, 4 are still alive (Buzz Aldrin, David Scott, Charles Duke, Harrison Schmitt).
(Conclusion: walking on the moon is healthy?)
I'm not sure how galactic cosmic rays, other forms of radiation, and a small fraction of Earth's gravity (1.62 m/s²) could make it healthy and contribute to longevity.
I'll go with NASA vetted the hell out of the health of their astronauts.

Every single piece of hype coverage that comes out about anything is really just geared towards pumping the stock values
That's really all there is too it imo. These executives are all just lying constantly to build excitement to pump value based on wishes and dreams. I don't think any of them genuinely care even a single bit about truth, only money
That's exactly it. It's all "vibe" or "meme" stock with the promise of AGI right around the corner.
Just like Mars colonisation in 2026 and other stupid promises designed to pump it up.

It's amazing just how ill-understood this tech is, even by its creators who are funded by gazillions of dollars. Reminds me of this:

It just doesn't reassure me in the slightest. I don't see how super duper auto complete will lead to AGI. All this hype reminds me of Elon colonizing mars by 2026 and millions or billions of robots by 2030 or something.

Don't get me wrong, this post shouldn't be flagged.
This study investigates how Israeli officials frame their refusal to vaccinate Palestinians in order to understand how Israel is able to deny Palestinians their right to health while being celebrated as a leader in the fight against COVID-19.
My least favourite thing is colour profiles and how those can confuse grown adults and bring them to tears.
