Both China and Russia are on the verge of demographic collapse. Their workforce, including their military, is ageing out quickly, and there are vastly too few young people to replace them. This will cause China's current economic collapse to worsen for decades. It will also deplete their military to the point of ineffectiveness. They have less than a decade before their military and economic power are irrelevant. And that means they are desperate.
Russia is facing similar military and economic collapse. They have a military that they cannot sustain because there are far too few young soldiers to replace those who are retiring (or being killed). Thus their ability to defend their already indefensible borders will only decrease; leaving them impossibly vulnerable. Like China, they likely have less than a decade.
The war in Ukraine has exposed the weaknesss of the Russian military in ways that nobody expected. The curtain has been pulled back, and the guy behind it doesn't look much like the great and terrible OZ.
Vivek is a smart kid; but his youth is a big problem. He is NOT going to waltz into Russia and convince Putin to break ties with China. I mean, what IS he smoking?
RFK is an interesting character; but the DNC won't allow him to run. They'll break any rule or law to ensure his candidacy comes to naught.
It's not clear to me what the democrats are going to do about Joe -- and especially about Kamala. If they could talk Michelle into running I think they'd happily push Joe off a cliff; but I don't think Michelle is going to take the bait. Newsome? After running California into the ground I don't think he'd be likely to win against his dog -- if he has one. Whitmer? She has a greater ability to induce cringe than Hillary does. Eeewwww!
I think the democrats are in a box (of their own making) and will simply have to hope and pray that Trump is the GOP nominee and that Joe stays alive for another six years. They care about Joe's pulse and couldn't care less about his brain.
Will Trump be the nominee? Frankly, I think everything turns on that boolean variable. If yes, the democrats win. If not, they lose.
Perhaps not. The density of matter within the event horizon depends on the radius. Very large black holes have very low density. There _may_ be a region of very high density within the event horizon, but that's not something we can see.

Any clues? This is happening on atlas, eden, and puravida (.nostr.land)
Grom a GR point of view nothing ever really gets into the black hole from our frame of reference. It all just smears out around the event horizon asymptotically approaching infinite wavelength.
From Hawking's point of view the entropy of a black hole is propotional to the surface area. If you assume that the smallest quantum of entropy is a square plank length, then ... yeah, the bits within the black hole can be mapped to square planks on it's surface.
Weird stuff.

> if you think about it the holographic principle is telling us that the universe actually running in a compressed format. There are way too many quantum states to simulate at once, so for the universe to run efficiently these states need to be compressed. The holographic principle makes this explicit: all of the information in the 3d bulk is encoded on some 2d boundary of this space. What happens when there is too much information in a small region of space and it can’t be compressed further? Boom, black hole. Neat hack universe engineers.

Yes, you simply begin the message with D xxxx where xxxx is the id of the person you are DMing. This is the old twitter convention, before they had explicit gestures.
