And this is the exact reason that you don’t take a script - much less three! - just for the money.

And you suddenly turned reductive, dismissive, and willfully ignorant. Huh.

“Decades old observations” may not mean shit, but decades OF observation do. Unless you don’t think experience or information counts.

Have you ever tried to implement a major construction project? I’ve only managed a few fairly small ones and…

You cite the ‘90’s. I’ve been watching this since the ‘80’s, and the efforts go back farther than that to at least the ‘70’s.

So hypothetically I’ll say you’re right about all of your points: it doesn’t change the fact that this tech will still require a fairly straight path of travel over terrain. You can set up 200…

Oh, and as I have pointed out in another comment, I think Musk is brilliant- one of the people doing the most to advance humanity and the US.
But that still doesn’t mean that his answer here addresses the real problems.

Nope. I’ve been following and studying this issue for 25 years.Other countries have it, and we could afford what they’ve got. But we won’t fund it- even if it becomes cheaper than it is now.

The problem is political will.
In the US, any such system needs to cross multiple intertwined and nested jurisdictions- each of…

The setting is Mythic England, a fictionalized epic based loosely on the history of 9th-10th century England, the span of which contains the rise of organized Christianity, the presence of “barbarian” invaders, strong lingering Celtic influence including war-bands, the rise of cavalry and thus the first inklings of…

After insane losses, Russia came out of it pretty dominant, with half of Europe under their direct control for the rest of the century.
The opposing hegemon that accomplished the imperialist aims of the old European powers was, interestingly, not even part of Europe.

So the goals of ongoing security through hegemony…

What do you mean by “accomplished nothing”?
The entire world stage was torn down and rebuilt with new governments, new alliances, new enemies, new economies, new models of diplomacy and war, even new nations.
The wars may have been awful and possibly even avoidable, but to imply they had no impact is strange indeed.

“You’re in the wrong place, my friend.”

Yeah, that’s what they say, but then they try to legislate which aliens you can snog.

As I said, I don’t dig this pairing, and you just explained why.

Guys, Nicole asked a great question, but all anybody answered what “what female character could we get,” not “Who would work.” I took that to mean “Fill out WW’s role in the DC Trinity.”

If Arrow is a stand-in for Batman...
And Flash is a stand-in for Superman...
You guys are suggesting Vixen, Poison Ivy, and Batgirl as…

But... neither tech, nor really cost is what’s stopped us from having high speed mass transit.
So this is pointless.

Musk is clearly a visionary, but the Hyperloop is dumb, dumb, dumb.

It’s a new, unproven technology developed to address problems already solved by examples that have been in operation for decades.

Worse, it does nothing at all to address the problems that have held up high speed mass-transit for the last 60 years,…

Bu they only very rarely let a happy marriage stay status quo. Not enough drama, you see.
So they’ve caught flack for fucking up good relationships, and they apparently want to stay away from that.

I totally agree, except that they also have loads of things in their lives that they can practically only discuss with each other.

As well, they can do amazing dates that would be interesting to them both that only they could do on an equal footing. Forget that the logistics of getting Lois to the moon and keeping her…

I don’t suppose they could get Renner’s Ego on board with a 3 or four parter passing the mantle on to Kate Bishop, but that’s a fun little tale I’d LOVE to see that would work great on TV.

Yeah. Like in MASH.
Hawk. Guy.

It seems to me like the MCU would be very fertile ground for an anthology series. Single episodes or short arcs featuring different characters in different combos. Each story could be set at any point in the established timeline, and feature a wide range of tones.

With luck and a little goodwill, they might even get…

Good. I like it.
But probably nothing will be quite the mindbender that Animal Man become under Grant Morrison:
