Computers were like magic in the early/mid 1980s - “nobody” knew what they could or couldn’t do - least of all Hollywood script writers! ;) War Games, Electric Dreams, Short Circuit, D.A.R.Y.L., Weird Science, and even TV show Automan (which was a genuine crime that only one season was made.) I’m probably missing a…

I only read a little of this stuff way back in the day, the first five or six The Ultimates (the Ultimate Avengers pretty much I suppose) trade paperbacks up to and including Loki’s invasion (premiering the Chitauri as I recall), and stopped following it after that. I don’t know if this line of books continued to be…

Okay? *shrug*

I’ve never been a fan of any military, but even I can rightfully acknowledge that not everyone who serves in one turns into a fascist. Not really sure where you’re trying to go with this reasoning, honestly. :)

Is it worth watching just for the special effects tho? :/

Well, I suppose by one being fictional, and the other factual? :)

Btw - one of the members of the Bennu mission is Sir Brian May CBE, astro-physicist and legendary guitarist, singer and rocker of equally legendary band Queen.

What “electrolytes” do you think petroleum fumes contain? This is such a bizarre and outlandish claim, who told you this? Besides, even if it was true (which is assuredly not the case), you would do well to stay well away from the petroleum fumes anyway, seeing as they lead to all kinds of negative repercussions on…

Boot owners also love you, you and your long, eager tongue.

If I was in the satellite launching startup business, I would get all the necessary permissions ahead of time, so I don’t get all tripped-up by red tape just before the finishing line.

Baseless assumption, but assume the avionics computer wonked out and stopped responding to pilot inputs (software famously being very complicated and all that), and the pilot attempts all the available troubleshooting steps available to them - what else but leave the aircraft are they supposed to do?

What on earth are you talking about. The ambulance was not for the aircraft, but rather for the pilot - who is a human being and not some fucking piece of classified technology.

Someone doesn’t know a thing he’s talking about, I see...

There’s this interview thing he was in, where he supposedly said something like, “driving around, I see nothing wrong with society”, and the other person suggested he should drive through Skid Row to see all the homeless people there, to which he supposedly replied, “why would I go there?”

Peak Bill Maher was when he spent an entire “New Rules” segment ranting about him getting criticized for flying private jets all over the country doing his comedy performances (despite supposedly being a global warming ‘believer’), and telling himself doing that was 100% OK and legit, because flying private jets is…

Why would he drag up his first child just to satisfy some fucking busybodies on the internet? “People” are presumptious fucking twats, thinking they have any rights whatsoever to judge others. Don’t humor them.

I assume “fr” means “for real”, but can’t be sure. As for the rest - your guess is as good as mine. ;)

Have you heard of a lot of people being assaulted at EV chargers? Personally I can’t say that I have.

Seems you haven’t met the crypto bros I’ve encountered, then.
