    Kendoraks und Knaarks‘ Geschwafel – Ein Star Citizen Podcast

    Fröhliche Weihnachten zusammen, wir haben ein kleines Special für euch. Da Weihnachten ist und CIG für Star Citizen eine aktive VR-Unterstützung implementiert hat, dachten wir uns, dass wir darüber mal sprechen sollten. Da aber Kendorak und ich von VR nun noch weniger Ahnung haben als von Star Citizen allgemein, haben wir uns Unterstützung geholt. PewPewPengu und Steel unterstützen uns in dieser Folge. Steel verwendet VR in DCS und jetzt auch in Star Citizen und ist sehr tief in den Kaninchenbau hinabgeklettert. Pengu hat ebenfalls einiges an VR-Erfahrung, auch wenn er noch nicht so tief in den Bau hineingeklettert ist. Wenn ihr wissen wollt, wie tief der Kaninchenbau wirklich ist, kommt gern mit uns. Da wir nur ein Thema haben, gibt es für diese Folge auch keine Kapitelmarken. Wir wünschen euch gute Unterhaltung und schöne Weihnachten. Wir haben auch einen Discord-Server eingerichtet, auf dem ihr mit uns in Kontakt treten könnt. Der Server ist aktuell noch sehr übersichtlich, wird aber im Laufe der Zeit und mit hoffentlich steigender Nutzung weiter ausgebaut. Hier wäre dafür der Link: https://discord.gg/95HcZ46

    The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Odessa and Ector County exemplify the Stench of Local Government at present: Citizens said no to bonds to build a new courthouse; officials gave them the middle finger and went ahead anyway with a $200 million project with debt from C.O. bonds. Odessa's civic cheerleader crew ran a RINO/liberal slate with big money backing for city council, swept out the conservatives, and immediately went on a tax raising spree that may turn out to be illegal. But don't worry, city officials are going to spend more of the people's money to protect their tax increase!

    Unless you're an astronomer, the moment when the star in the center of this image flickers may not seem so exciting.除非你是天文学家,否则画面中央那颗星星闪烁的瞬间可能并不那么令人兴奋。But it marks the passage of an asteroid, space objects which are usually too small and faint to see.但它标志着一颗小行星的掠过,小行星这类太空物体通常太小太暗而难以观测。Those asteroids sometimes pass very close to us. They are detected a few hours, a few days before the flyby.那些小行星有时会离我们非常近,它们通常在飞掠前几小时或几天被探测到。And if we don't follow them up while they're doing the flyby, we will basically lose them.如果我们在它们飞过的时候没有进行追踪,我们就会失去其踪迹。In this case, the critical data came from a new consumer telescope carried in a backpack to a desert in Oman.在这种情况下,关键数据来自一台被装入背包带到阿曼的新型消费级望远镜。Franck Marchis, whose day job at SETI Institute involves working with the world's largest telescopes, designed the eVscope with colleagues at Unistellar to inspire a movement of citizen scientists.弗兰克·马基斯在SETI研究所的日常工作涉及使用全球最大的望远镜,他与Unistellar的同事们共同设计了eVscope,旨在激励全民科学家运动。The goal of the company is to democratize astronomy. I think we are ready for that.公司的目标是使每个人都接触天文学,我认为我们已经准备好了。Advances in technology give the eVscope the power of a room sized telescope while making it much easier to use.技术的进步使Evie望远镜具有房间大小的望远镜的威力,但同时也更易于使用。If you choose a point of interest with the App, the eVscope locates it using a star database as a map.如果用户通过应用程序选择一个兴趣点,eVscope会利用星体数据库作为地图来定位它。A low light sensor enhances faint stars by combining multiple exposures.微光传感器通过组合多次曝光来增强微弱星光。Users can also upload what they're seeing for researchers to analyze.用户还可以上传他们看到的内容,供研究人员分析。So we'd be able to send notification to our users when there is something interesting to observe in the sky, a new comet, a new supernova.当天空中出现值得观测的有趣现象时,比如新彗星或新超新星,我们就能向用户发送通知。We are going to be able to put together all those observations and get the best picture.我们将能够把所有这些观测结果整合起来,从而获得最清晰的全貌。An algorithm will search for the unexpected, like asteroids heading our way.算法会搜索意外情况,比如朝着我们飞来的小行星。Or it could be something even more exotic, like the birth of a civilization trying to communicate with us.也可能是更离奇的东西,比如一个试图与我们交流的文明的诞生。Citizen scientists can have a key role in this new era of space discovery. 全民科学家可以在这个太空发现的新时代发挥关键作用。

This is not rhetoric, speculation, or partisan spin; it is sworn testimony, backed by a Senate investigation, and it raises a terrifying question: if this can happen to them, what stops it from happening to any of us?

    News media and pundits too frequently perpetuate the notion that Latinos, both US-born and immigrants, are an invading force bent on destroying the American way of life. Leo R. Chavez challenges the basic tenets of this assumption and other myths of the "Latino threat," providing a critical investigation into the fears and prejudices that are used to malign an entire population. In this updated and expanded third edition of his groundbreaking book, Chavez incorporates Donald Trump's emergence in American political life, with particular focus on the US-Mexico border as a site of political theater and the further sharpening of anti-Latino and anti-immigration rhetoric in public discourse. He also includes new discussions of "anchor babies," Dreamers and DACA, Latina reproduction and white replacement theory, and the emotional and psychological effects of negative political rhetoric on those whom it targets.

    Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, Mark Walters discusses the implications of gun control and free speech in Australia, particularly in light of recent political developments. The conversation delves into the government’s role in restricting freedoms, the potential for gun confiscation, and the broader implications for citizens’ rights. The discussion also touches on the restoration of gun rights for individuals previously disarmed due to legal issues, emphasizing the need for active participation in defending Second Amendment rights. Takeaways Gun control measures in Australia are tightening. Free speech is increasingly under threat globally. Political leaders often exploit tragedies to push agendas. The definition of terrorism includes government actions against civilians. Citizens must remain vigilant against government overreach. Restoration of gun rights is a critical issue for many. Legal loopholes can lead to unjust disarmament. The NRA plays a vital role in defending gun rights. Public awareness and activism are essential for change. The fight for freedom is ongoing and requires collective effort.

    I'm standing outside a federal courthouse, talking to you as the many legal threads around Donald Trump tighten and twist in real time.Over just the past few days, one of the big storylines has shifted from criminal exposure to raw presidential power. In Washington, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit handed President Donald Trump a major win by upholding his removal of National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox and Merit Systems Protection Board member Cathy Harris without cause. According to analysis from Ogletree Deakins, the court went further than just blessing those firings: it held that the statutory “for cause” protections for top officials at powerful independent agencies are unconstitutional when those officials wield substantial executive power. In plain English, the D.C. Circuit said President Donald Trump can sweep out key regulators at will, reshaping agencies that for decades had a measure of insulation from the Oval Office.At almost the same time, the Supreme Court has been functioning as an emergency referee over a growing list of Trump fights. SCOTUSblog reports that on its interim or “shadow” docket the justices have been fielding high‑stakes disputes over President Donald Trump's use of the National Guard in Illinois, his clashes with immigration judges, and efforts by groups like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington to get internal administration documents through the Freedom of Information Act. The Brennan Center for Justice has been tracking these emergency cases and notes that, since early 2025, the Supreme Court has repeatedly sided with the Trump administration on issues like immigration crackdowns, reductions in the civil service, and the removal of members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Labor Relations Board.All of this sits on top of the longer‑running legal sagas that you as listeners have been following for years: the civil verdicts in New York, the federal and state criminal indictments, and the defamation and assault findings in the E. Jean Carroll cases. Public radio outlets like WABE have been keeping a running tally of where those stand since Donald Trump's return to the White House, tracking appeals of jury verdicts, ongoing sentencing fights for his former aides, and the way new Justice Department decisions under his own administration intersect with prosecutions that began before he reclaimed power.So when we talk about “the Trump trials” right now, we are not just talking about Donald Trump as a criminal defendant. We are talking about Donald Trump as president, testing and expanding the boundaries of executive authority in courtroom after courtroom, from the D.C. Circuit to the Supreme Court, while older cases about his past business dealings and political conduct grind through appeals.For you listening, the takeaway this week is simple: judges are increasingly being asked whether Donald Trump is merely subject to the law, or also able to rewrite the balance of power inside the law itself. Those answers are coming fast, and they are reshaping the presidency in ways that will outlast any single trial.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

    It's Thursday, December 18th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Syrian Christians are suffering Christians in Syria are facing new challenges and growth. The Middle Eastern country is now ruled by a transitional government after the autocratic rule of Bashar al-Assad ended a year ago. Freedom of expression seems to be increasing; however, Christians still suffer persecution. Christian students, women, clergy, and business owners face insults and threats in public. Despite this, one pastor told Open Doors, “After all the violence in the country, some non-Christians are now more open to hear about Christianity, because they see that Christianity brings peace, and we hope that God will touch their hearts.” In John 14:27, Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Two U.S. soldiers and U.S. civilian interpreter killed in Syria Two U.S. soldiers and a U.S. civilian interpreter were killed in an attack in Syria over the weekend. The U.S. military blamed the attack on the Islamic State group.  Hundreds of American troops are in eastern Syria as part of a coalition to fight the Islamic State. U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on X, “This was an ISIS attack against the U.S. and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them. … There will be very serious retaliation.” Citizens in 39 countries are prohibited from traveling to U.S. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation further restricting the entry of foreign nationals to the U.S.  Thirty-nine countries are now affected by U.S. travel restrictions. The proclamation added full restrictions and entry limitations on Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria. Individuals holding Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents also face full restrictions.  Defense bill gives 4% raise to soldiers The U.S. Senate passed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act yesterday. The $901 billion military spending bill provides support for Europe, Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.  The bill also gives service members a 4% raise and addresses social issues for troops. For example, the bill prohibits men, pretending to be women, from participating in women's sports programs at military academies. And the bill does not expand coverage for in vitro fertilization for military families.  The U.S. House of Representatives approved the bill last week, and President Donald Trump is expected to sign it.  Hegseth restores miliary chaplains as moral anchors U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced plans on Tuesday to restore the military chaplaincy to its full strength. Hegseth said chaplains have been minimized by secular humanism to being viewed as therapists instead of ministers. He said, “I have a directive right here that I will sign today to eliminate the use of the Army Spiritual Fitness Guide effective immediately. These types of training materials have no place in the War Department.” Hegseth added, “In well over 100 pages, it mentions God one time. “That's it. It mentions feelings 11 times. It even mentions playfulness—whatever that is—nine times. There's zero mention of virtue.” Listen to other comments from Hegseth. HEGSETH: “There will be a top down-cultural shift, putting spiritual wellbeing on the same footing as mental and physical health. As a first step toward creating a supportive environment for our warriors and their souls, we're going to restore the esteemed position of chaplains as moral anchors for our fighting force.” Will Supreme Court block church's million dollar COVID fine? A church in California is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court in a case involving government overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic. California officials previously fined Calvary Chapel in San Jose over one million dollars. The church simply did not require members to wear masks at services during the pandemic.  Advocates for Faith & Freedom is representing the church. Erin Mersino, vice president of the group, said, “Government officials may not weaponize emergencies to suspend the First Amendment. California imposed some of the most aggressive restrictions on churches in the country, and this case is about ensuring the government never does this again.” When commanded not to preach, Peter and the apostles said in Acts 5:29, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” 234th anniversary of Bill of Rights And finally, this week is the anniversary of the U.S. Bill of Rights which comprise the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution.  The United States of America ratified the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, two hundred thirty-four years ago. The First Amendment famously protects freedom of religion and freedom of speech. The Second Amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear arms.  The amendments drew from English law to protect the rights of citizens and limit the power of government.

    We start with an analyis of the latest health care melodrama in D.C., where four House Republicans unexpectedly broke ranks, joining Democrats in forcing a vote on the renwal of ACA subsidies. Speaker Johnson will not hold the required vote until January. But even if it passes in the House, it will face an almost certain filibuster in the Senate. Meanwhile millions of Americans will lose healthcare coverage, and those who decide to pay skyrocketing premiums will be forced to cut back on other basics. We welcome State Representative Angelina Cruz to discuss the budget bait and switch on special education funding. The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) announced l that the state will fail to meet the 42% special education reimbursement promised in the recent state budget., and by elected leaders of both parties when they celebrated the budget "compromise." Rep. Cruz tells us about new legislation to ensure all schools get special education funding they were promised Following Rep. Cruz, we discuss a new three bill package that transforms how Wisconsin funds K-12 schools and other public goods in Wisconsin. If enacted, Wisconsin would become the first state to fund K-12 schools primarily through a progressive income tax, leading to a 44% reduction in the median Wisconsin property tax bill. Another bill restores Wisconsin's estate tax for estates valued higher than $14M and creates a new local option income tax on people who make $1M a year or more. These tools provide new, fairer options to raise revenue at the state and local levels, and begin the long process of unwinding record levels of income and wealth inequality. We also talk about this week's highly publicized trial of Judge Hannah Dugan Trial in Milwaukee, data center opponents launch a recall effort against Port Washington Mayor, and the "Monsters of the Midway" threaten to move to Indiana, the latest move in their failing (but on-going) campaign to shake down Illinois for unneeded public subsidies at the expense of schools, health care, and other public priorities. So far Illinois elected leaders are holding firm, in stark contrast to Wisconsin's bipartisan cave in to the Brewers billionaire owner last year.

    After a weekend of atrocities from the Hanukkah massacre in Sydney to another campus shooting at Brown University, new American combat deaths in Syria, Trump's escalating boat strikes, looming conflict with Venezuela and brutal VA job cuts, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff turns to someone who can help us breathe, process and fight forward: democracy and respect advocate, Baratunde Thurston.​ Baratunde is an Emmy-nominated thought-leader, writer, comedian, technologist, culture critic and host of PBS's America Outdoors, as well as the creator of How to Citizen and Life with Machines, his new YouTube/AI series exploring how we live well with powerful technology. In this wide-ranging “Manosphere Monday” conversation, Paul and Baratunde unpack how to stay calm in all this chaos, how to citizen in a time of mass shootings and democratic backsliding, and why our real power is collective—not just a vote every two to four years.​ They dive into the toxic “manosphere” model of masculinity and Baratunde's devastating description of Pete Hegseth as chasing dominance instead of service, strength and restraint. They contrast that with the leadership of others who embody courage, compassion and a longer view of democracy and the planet.​ Is AI a Christmas present or dastardly coal in our stocking? Baratunde breaks down AI in plain language: why AI itself isn't taking your job, why AI is really about power and the human leaders making choices, and how we can “activate multiplayer mode” instead of being kept in fearful single-player mode. He explains how AI can help with everyday problems—from home repairs to navigating systems—while also forcing us to ask deeper questions about what we value, what education is for, and how we want to live.

Baratunde breaks down AI in plain language: why AI itself isn't taking your job, why AI is really about power and the human leaders making choices, and how we can “activate multiplayer mode” instead of being kept in fearful single-player mode. He explains how AI can help with everyday problems—from home repairs to navigating systems—while also forcing us to ask deeper questions about what we value, what education is for, and how we want to live. It's smart, useful and fun.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
