'Monster' Solar Storm Erupts On the Sun
The sun unleashed a powerful flare Thursday (Feb.24) that – while not the strongest solar storm ever seen – let loose a massive wave of magnetic plasma in a dazzling display.
The solar flare kicked up a huge, twisting tendril of plasma that scientists call a solar prominence. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flare in an eye-catching video, with mission scientists calling the eruption a "monster prominence."

Seems like a weak argument, probably indicative of a prejudice against artificial intelligence. |

You may be right, but I would like to know more about what they mean when they say :"human input and occasional intervention."

But it would be very interesting. I'm sure sailors would love it. And the Army as well. Reduces the need for supply convoys, always a good thing.
Makes me wonder, if they can grow meat, could they produce a fresh milk machine? |

Or grow females bodies without brains, for pleasure purposes.

I would think so. If they could grow meat then I figure it wouldn't be long before they could grow a teat.

I saw this today. Personally, I never want to be quite this connected, but it's got some cool applications.

Here's a straight line that, if followed up by a male, could get him slain.
