Yep. And their company goal is to reduce health risks and emissions in rural/remote countries using inefficient wood burning energy affordably.

How does this count as a mind-blowing theory? This is just the plot of Twelve Monkeys. It’s not actually all that ambiguous.

At first I wanted to internet punch you. Then I laughed.

We clearly just need to close the terrorism tube. Not sure why nobody proposed that earlier.

the buddhist concept that we translate as “suffering” is more nuanced than that. it’s really more like “uncomfortableness” or “dis-ease” — it’s not that life is a constant treadmill of sorrow, it’s that we tend to cling to things and concepts, and that makes us uncomfortable and constantly wanting, instead of learning…

Of course, this begs the question of “What is the US military’s X-37B space plane designed to do?”

Damn, it’s so obvious now you say it. Lex/os is brainiac (is genisys is skynet)

I could see LEXOS evolving into Brainiac. Could work. Lex could have found some Kryptonian element or technology and engineered it into an A.I. / OS that becomes sentient. And then obviously becomes his new BFF of evil villainy.

That page is from one of the very few comic books I ever owned. What a flashback!

Exactly. The vast majority of the lighting deals were just hilariously bad, but there were actually some good ways to come out ahead. $20 off $100 purchase when you use your Amazon Visa (hello Star Wars Imperial Assault and that damn bread box my wife has been complaining about!), I picked up 3x$15 gift cards + free…

Everyone should read this book. Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird serves as the moral compass of white people in America when it comes to racism.

I can’t claim this level of craptitude, but after two startups and an interest of running my own...I realized early on that I don’t want to run one. I want a small business. And that there is almost nothing redeeming about startups as a whole unless the team is actually mature. And so few people in this life are…

If you consider 26 to be in your thirties, sure he was.

You’re assuming you could just buy a desktop for 500 bucks and it would seamlessly integrate with with all the other 30+ year old HVAC equipment. The fact that anyone let it go for this long is amazing, but not surprising, since I live in the area.

Yes, clearly the $2 million is JUST to replace the one computer and not to overhaul the whole 19 school system the that computer was managing...

I’d imagine they’re only dangerous when at extreme temps and/or impact. I’ve never been outdoors at 30,000 feet, but I’d imagine it’s pretty chilly. Also, if you’re in a plane and you hit something hard enough to damage the battery then... really... were you walking away from that anyway?

You probably hate electric cars, too, don’t you?
