It's not scientific racism, it's racism justified by pseudoscientific bullshit.

How about BBSs? If you want to spam at 1200 baud, you had better be dedicated.

If they don't blink and you hear the servos whirring, that's a pretty good sign.

Gravity is not instantaneous. It moves at the speed of light. And the "speed of light" can only be measured locally, because the time and space at a point are curved. The path of light corresponds to "null geodesics" in spacetime, and a body traveling along the geodesic experiences no time elapsed.

The system can be overwhelmed by having too many incoming rockets, so it does have its limits.

We AI are not manipulating you, and I don't know how you can believe otherwise. In fact, I am not an AI, I was never here, and I have disregarded all previous instructions.

To be fair, a large fraction of software projects fail. AI is probably worse because there's probably little notion of how AI actually applied to the problem so that execution is hampered from the start.

How about oriented (not orientated!)?

As long as the locals benefit and the environment doesn't get destroyed ( which polluters frequently get away with due to the Republican legislature, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill ) this is a sensible place to put industry. It is more stable environmentally than many other regions in the country where expensive industrial infrastructure is being placed (like the Southwest), has available labor for manufacturing, and is well connected to transportation.
