Your last description is essentially the idea behind the F-117a. That thing isn’t wasn’t flying, it’s it was achieving escape velocity.

You’re correct, Google just returns results for The Beatles because enough people search for that rather than Three Dog night, and I wasn’t paying attention

It was sang by The Beatles Three Dog Night.

Elon wants to be Stark. He’s actually Iron Monger. He wants to be Stark so fucking badly.

I mean, that was back when if you wanted a home computer, you were building it yourself from parts from Radio Shack. Not exactly the same thing. I’m not certain that even Apple had the Apple 1 out at that point. I know they hadn’t made the Mac 128k, and weren’t going to for several years.

I haven’t ever met anyone that thought Bill Gates was prescient, just a lucky businessman.

Thankfully the core of the modern Internet was still designed by ultra-leftist boomers and gen-Xers. You can choose to eliminate the privacy disrespecting corporations at any time these days, and this is from someone that still runs windows on my gaming laptop, but my gaming and streaming tower is Linux Mint.

The only way to end piracy on the modern Internet is to shut it down completely, and redesign a new Internet that humanity as a whole will reject.

Fuck the circuits. It’s absolute bullshit that entities can game the system and shop for “favorable” judges because of the appellate courts.

The company seems to be a hardware provider, not a service provider. Also, they wouldn’t be able to resell these machines anyway as they were custom made specifically for Twitter before musk bought it. Without a court order that would involve breaking and entering, and possible theft charges.

I’m sure The Cherokee, Chocktaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole Peoples could give us some pointers!

Life is a Lemon!

Jon Oliver did an entire segment on that in the fourth season, featuring news segments from the late 70s early 80s

I was under the impression that the major two advantages of fusion were exponentially more power output, provided we can actually sustain it, and no radioactive byproducts…

Gotcha, I knew something had changed about it over the years, but couldn’t remember the specifics.

Maybe it’s Warp 9.9 that is ever increasing. I don’t really remember, but I distinctly remember reading two different tech manuals describing the “fastest possible speed of any federation vessel” as two entirely different multiples of C, and Warp 10 being defined as the fastest possible speed.
