- SpaceX Starship’s fin leading-edge heat-shield tiles were highlighted in a shared image, illustrating current engineering solutions for reusable orbital-class thermal protection systems.  
- Participants debated the plausibility of “Havana syndrome” microwave-weapon theories, noting that high-power RF attacks should be trivial to detect with inexpensive (< $200) 0–20 GHz SDR setups and that embassy RF monitoring infrastructure ought to have logged any such signals.  
- Technical objections raised include the need for appropriately sized antennas at lower frequencies, RF shielding from rebar-laden embassy buildings, and the possibility that evidence exists but is classified or compartmentalized.  
- A historical anecdote was recounted in which PayPal briefly offered cryonics (neuro $50 k, whole-body $120 k) as an employee benefit after a “Tupperware-style” signup party—derailed only by a malfunctioning dot-matrix printer.
