“3. People cheer at movies”

So this is a movie about peaceful denizens of the deep ocean taking up arms to defend themselves against an alien invasion from the surface?

Quantum communication is no faster than light, unfortunately. You will find lots of false statements saying otherwise, but that is the sad truth.

During most of human history that would have been quite normal. If you heard anything at all about what happened in China it would take months to reach you. The instant communications on Earth of today is an anomaly, one that may disappear if we spread to other stars. (Or if AI:s take over and they are so fast that…

Solar cells have come a long way in providing affordable energy.

I think the problem was that Martin told them how the story was supposed to end, and they did that ending with Dany going crazy and Bran becoming king, but they had no idea how to get there, and as it seems from the way he isn’t writing any books, neither do Martin.

Maybe thay can start with the brine that is output from desalination plants? 

Surely they have more than one racist District Attorney to choose from in Mississippi?

There is also a more recent Iranian film with almost the same name:

No love for the Blackadder version told in reverse? Where an initially too nice Blackadder are taught the advantages of greed and villainy?

Will we get a Robocop moment when he takes off his helmet?

How many of these molecules were tried out on early Earth and were found inferior to DNA?

“Small-to-medium threat adversaries have no counter to the carrier. None.”

“Funny, it’s almost as if aircraft carriers were designed to carry combat aircraft to protect them from threats like missile launchers.“

You may ask people in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq how good Americans are at not killing people. What USA is better at than anyone else is starting wars. Not invading countries around the world is what USA needs to learn to take NOT killing things to the next level.

In reality new “smart” weapons just lower the threshold. If you think you can attack country with “acceptable” losses you are more likely to do it. If you assume that you have a perfect missile defence that will prevent any losses on your own side, that’s even more true. The way to prevent war is MAD, where neither…
