He has some much more personality as the Silver Shroud than as the lame bum who got frozen for 200 years. I’d play an entire Fallout game where you’re the Silver Shroud. Sort of a Don Quixote vibe.

Not only are lthe lines awesome, the coat is probably the best looking outfit in the game.

Wouldn’t the vertical equator where the light and the dark meet be cozy? And if the orbit had even a slight wobble to it, there would be a sizable band where life could propagate.

“Oooo....Look who’s too good to get his legs ripped off...!”

Absolutely crumple zone thing. It’s better to have all that energy absorbed by highly engineered sheet metal than it is to have your legs ripped off

You had me at sex dungeon.

Because if they’re too close then they hit you when you brake faster than they’re expecting? When I get into sudden traffic slowdowns in heavy traffic, my eyes go back and forth between my mirror and the car in front of me to manage my deceleration try to attenuate the rate of deceleration back up the chain.

its very out dated, bulky, and could have lots of improvements as far as including a HUD, AR camera teck, being more compact, giving more dexterity (especially in the gloves). as well as other improvements such as modual attachments (such as in suit replaceable air packs) , wireless charging, AR HUD, AI, and many more…

As long as Elon’s laid down some basic safety requirements…

It’s a different approach but it isn’t a bad approach.

On the other hand, forcing style over function necessitates delving into new ideas and new approaches to solving the same technical hurdles in ways that a function-first design likely wouldn’t.

starting from an esthetic point of view is going to make it more difficult, not easier.

Hell yes. I love this. There is no reason why our space programs can't have a little bad-assery added. Leave it to Musk to do it right. I want to live in the future, and he's going to make sure it happens. Just like the giant touchscreens he's putting in the manned Dragon capsule.

They will be fast, and that is why they plan on having thousands of them. I would expect that most places on earth you would be able to see a handful of them at a time. As to switching connections, it really depends on the hardware, they might end up with some sort of multibandwidth connection where you are…

You are mistaken, conventional satellite internet satellites follow gso not leo and are many many times further away, which leads to terrible latency. A leo satellite array requires far more satellites, but since the speed of light is faster in a vacuum then through glass, it also promises to have lower latency then…

Actually, 1993 separation from Czech Republic resulted in little animosity between the two. Slovakia’s got the natural, mountainous region, Czech Republic has the tourism and tech, but both still mainly trade with Germany.

I’m more surprised that they’re being so chummy with Hungary - there’s a bunch of history there.

“Western” Europe maybe, but Eastern Europe is still quite f**ed up, also after all those years of communism they have tendancies to go into free market frenzies.

People are really excited about this. When asked to comment, Slovakian President Andrej Kiska said “Yeah! Suck it, Slovenia!”
