A few major issues:

• Air absorption. The extinction coefficient for free air is ~0.012/km for 500nm light (green) at sea level. Or about 50% losses at 60km. (Now, this is well above sea level. Still.) Both for direct power losses and for secondary effects (high-power lasers have a tendency to create an ionized channel. Natural lightning produces a surprising amount of NOx and O3, and widescale power beaming would too). (For comparison: HVAC lines lose ~7% / 1000km. Or ~0.000072/km. Or 50% losses at 9500km. More than two orders of magnitude better.)
• Conversion efficiency.
• Beam dispersion in general.
• Malice.
• Accidents.
• Energy cost of the fliers themselves.
• Speed of said fliers.

I could see this working reasonably well for defensive warfare (until the power generation gets nuked); this is hilariously ineffective for the stated purpose of long-distance power transmission.

I really wish this wasn't overblown.

99%+ of the population has covid antibodies - except that includes the vast majority of people vaccinated, as that includes spike protein antibodies.

Now, if it had been phrased as ~80% of the population having nucleocapsid-targetting antibodies... sure.

I really don't know how to feel about sinfest. It started hit-or-miss, dropped off a cliff a while back... but recently has started getting somewhat decent again, at least occasionally.

Though I still far prefer the old artstyle. (Compare this with e.g. https://sinfest.xyz/view.php?date=2000-10-26 )

Eh, the OG vaccines were decent. Mainly because they were focused on far more nasty - and far more prevalent - diseases.

I mainly take issue with the insistence that vaccinations have zero downsides. Everything has risk. Sometimes that risk tradeoff makes sense. Sometimes it doesn't.

It's an artifact of the mirror design (a hex of hex mirrors).

It mainly shows up in overexposed images - but in a deep field like this they have many stars (and galaxies) in the shot, so they have to compromise exposure, which means that the bright stars (and galaxies) get way overexposed.

You can compensate for the effect to an extent with post-processing, but these images haven't had that done.

Fair. That being said, it's also a lot easier to just leave cash under a mattress. That doesn't mean it's the best option.

Your first mistake was buying jewelry retail.

Jewelry > coins

Less easy to ban/confiscate without publicity.

This is somewhat oversimplified to fit in a tweet: "Sri Lanka will issue fuel only to trains and buses, medical services and vehicles that transport food starting Tuesday until July 10" (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/27/sri-lanka-stops-fuel-supply-to-non-essential-services-as-crisis-worsens.html)

Still rather devastating however.
