Jesus Christ! Carry some hand sanitizer for your precious hands. The “first world problem” of this post is on another level.

Or get hit by debris that destroys the satellite, sending radioactive material to earth. Seeing as 7 impacts have occurred already, that isn't an improbable scenario. This is the point of the article.

The move had a real shot at paying homage to the ones we have already lost and will continue to lose. Plot armor (because fuck it that's what he had) is a lazy and stupid convention that we are starting to subvert.

Oh, I'd settle for something in which somebody who had a passing knowledge of how the world works just give the whole thing a quick once over to make sure that a movie that was advertised as having a big focus on good science (They made discoveries! They had a consultant!) and having a lot of attention to detail to…

I just read this whole thread and the majority of it is people commenting about the microUSB. I’m cracking up. Do people not read other comments before responding?

For me, even the science was bad.

The last act truly destroyed what could have been a fantastic movie... what a shame :(

So basically not a full PC.

The first picture shows a micro usb for power on the side of the device.

EUROPE may, but you don't buy a house in Europe, you buy it in one location in Europe. In the US, with the exception of the West Coast which has a milder climate due to currents from the Pacific, you generally have much greater variability of climate.

In the north, Stockholm's average daily low in January and December…

One key difference: if some alarmist decides not to eat food that's been in contact with Roundup, it's nowhere nearly the same as not vaccinating their kids. Growing some tomatoes in their backyard instead of buying farm-raised ones is not going to impact anyone else... they're not perpetuating the spread of disease.

The slow blade penetrates the shield.

I'm an iOS developer with a utilities app. When I switched to paid ($2.99) from free with inapp purchases, my revenues quadrupled. When I increased my price to $4.99, revenues increased 50%. I went to $9.99, and revenues increased 33% again.

Tesla does. It's included in the price of all 85kWh Teslas. It's a $2,000 option in the 60kWh models. That sounds stiff, but it's equivalent to only about 20K miles worth of gas in an ICE if my on-the-fly maths are correct. Your mileage may vary.

honestly...this is fucking stupid. We will NEVER have cel phones implanted electively (a few "artists" doesn't count), let alone brain pluggy things.

Maybe centuries after AMAZING medical breakthroughs, that will de facto carry with them effective immortality and the eradication of all health related suffering,…

You are a dog. In two years you'll be fourteen years older and we might have to put you down to sleep.

My post didn't mention Apple either. Just pointing out that even an ideal standard to solve one problem comes with a new set of problems - in this case, a standard, cross-platform vulnerability.
