I’m ancient, decrepit, and disintegrating rapidly, so I’m really looking forward to seeing this.

Down the road, I suspect SpaceX will be doing all sorts of interesting things with Starships that are not part of the initial plans. Best thing to do is put the Hubble into deep safe mode and wait a few years for Elon to stop by and fix it on his way to somewhere.

Don’t recall MSNBC covering this either. So I’m not sure what the point of the story is, exactly.

If it can just hold out for a couple more years Elon can stop by in a Starship on his way to somewhere else and do a full overhaul. This is actually not a joke -- access to space is about to get much more straightforward. Amazing things are happening on the south Texas coast.

Actually, it’s not clear that the FSD feature HAS gotten anybody in trouble. FSD is only available so far to small numbers of beta testers. It is not the same as the widely available Autopilot, which is not reliable enough (nor claimed to be) to operate without driver attention. The FSD represents a total rethink and…

There are some nice internal accoutrements that will please some and go unnoticed by others. There are claims of better sound deadening, a killer audio system, high performance infotainment system for top-level gaming (I guess that’s important?) and a very high tech electric motor drive train, even compared with…

Irrelevantly, I object also to the people who vandalized or toppled the Confederate monuments. They should be removed, but based on the decisions of those elected to make them. I also never liked mobs doing anything, like pulling down the goalposts at football games. Wanton destruction is just not cool.

Only problem I’ve had with Noah is that the Guide did not list his guests ahead of each show, for some reason presumably unrelated to the change in venue.

“whom” => “who.” It’s complicated.

Theorem: Bureaucracies under-react until they over-react.

Maybe if they pronounced it “Detwa” it would take on more class?

OT Yeah, but why does offstage brass tend to sound flat?

I have been known to try to join into the conversation. :-) Although it doesn’t warrant a police call, I have noticed that, although you can speak over the phone as if you were standing right next to the other party, often people tend to speak much more loudly. To one who can only hear one end of the call, it is…

I wish I were a cartoonist.  I would find a way to depict the underside of Trump’s massive bus, organized into seven circles of loserhood with inspiration from Dante’s Inferno.

I will admit to being more enamored of Dirk Gently, and the recent TV series based vaguely on the character in the book.

In the television series, the question whose answer is “42" was actually revealed: “What is the product of 6 and 9.” I thought it was hilarious.

Those who can distinguish between a religion and a cult have simply not yet come to the ultimate realization yet. Admittedly, some cults are less harmful than others.

Whenever I slam on the breaks, I sing “Them is the breaks.”

Tizen is probably why the Samsung smart watch’s blood pressure monitor allegedly only works if you also have a Samsung phone. So far, this has cost Samsung 300+ of my $$.

Foretasted? I don’t undestrand.
