China conducted tests of new landing barges designed for unloading armored vehicles from civilian ships onto unprepared sections of the coast.
Several of these specialized vessels, equipped with extended ramps more than 120 meters long, have been spotted at the Guangzhou shipyard.

Elon Musk's favorite supposed data expert, who he's retweeted at least a dozen times, claims she can only process 60,000 rows of data before her "hard drive overheats".

Unless, of course, she's just completely making shit up.
