    How many breeding pairs of humans would be required? https://nu.federati.net/url/292680 [www technologyreviews com] (based on latest technology, so projected time is 6,300 years). Does not discuss the other creatures that would have to be carried.

    1. File without filename could not get a thumbnail source.
      This is how many people we’d have to send to Proxima Centauri to make sure someone actually arrives
      from MIT Technology Review
      Since it would take at least 6,300 years to reach the closest star to our sun, enough men and women to produce many genetically healthy generations would need to make the trip.

    If Voyager 1 was headed for Proxima Centauri, it would take 73,000 years to reach it. Could we create a mobile and independent colony that could survive that long? Or would it need a boost in speed, so that journey could be shortened?

    I think the possibility that an extraterrestrial πŸ‘½ civilization might be malevolent is a good reason for us to start thinking about setting up self sustaining colonies on Mars and the Moon πŸŒ™. And about building a mobile colony that could endure for enough time to reach Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri. As far as I know, we have not detected any planets πŸͺ around either star ⭐️, but if they get there in a century or two and find a habitable planet 🌍, we will have made our species independent from Sol’s lifecycle … and from being obliterated by β€œgreys” attacking earth.

    In this case, #DataCamp seems not to have considered that one might want to gift a year’s subscription to someone else, so using my personal/ account information and @bthall’s payment πŸ’° information is likely triggering a fraud alert. The company has not said why the payment hasn’t gone through, but Brandon was able to buy his own subscription without issue.

    As I see it, the key is to find the one person in the company that can and will go around the barriers and accept the payment. That gives them some time to suggest the company implements gift subscriptions and some time for the company to do so.

    If there's a lesson that I'm learning from the struggle Brandon is having trying to give me a year's paid subscription to #DataCamp, it is "don't make it hard for people to give you money".

    "Where you from?" is #SoCal gang slang for "Which gang are you part of?"

    @clacke The imperative could still exist once one realizes that a possible subjugator civilization may have different weightings on the factors going into such a calculation.

    Consider "Independence Day" and its space locust type civilization.

    Someone implied that my favorite child is obvious.

    * #sonOne: mailed his birthday card the day before, so it arrived late
    * #sonTwo: mailed his birthday card and a book two weeks early
    * #Daddy_A: no birthday card mailed

    But once they grow up and move out, your "favorite" is the one who stays in touch most. Second son currently calls me about 4X/week, plus does a regular weekly #videochat between me and his family. The older and younger boys are a lot less communicative.

    But honestly, I bought both sons' cards the same day, after I got unemployment benefits. The other child's birthday is earlier, when I had no funds.

    When someone is that inconsiderate, others start being inconsiderate to each other. "I've been waiting almost an hour, if I get the chance, I will cut in front of someone else who has been waiting."

    Someone had at least 13 of the dryers when we arrived at the laundromat more than an hour ago. He's slowly taking his clothes and folding, so it looks like six are left.

    Meanwhile, people are lined up waiting for dryers.
