About 7 million peolpe die from air pollution every year

Nuclear is the clear winner.

I’m saying it in the “I’m in jail, but at least I’m not in solitary” sense.

No, that’s more boom-boom, or boom-chakka-lakka-lakka. Can’t you just see the crew filling in the refrain...

“...a sex toy?”

If Musk is going anywhere past Mars, he’ll need one of these:

Gizmag (now NewAtlas...derp). Boing Boing is surprisingly useful too. Neither does kinja like kinja tho.

China’s got it covered. Feel better?

Yeah I’d read that a few years ago, mostly forgotten to me and a nice re-read. Giants among us. Thanks for the link.

I wondered where Wendy Carlos was when this was broadcast...a 12 year old in Rhode Island, already a pianist and composer, and in 1953 won a scholarship for building a computer.

Yeah, Chekov, always cheery and easy going.

Hey here’s a fucking brilliant idea: push the opening to next year instead of rushing out a crap film.

I’m sure it wasn’t. I’d love to know the story about how it leaked.

As all the graphics dweebs will tell you, it’s not just a matter of greyscaling because colour detail will disappear into greys if you just desaturate on your tv. Pulling a good bw image out of color takes a bit of time.

If 99.99% of all people suddenly ceased to be, we would still have over 7 million people to sort through the pieces. Human prehistoric population estimates peak at eight million 20kya, and 18 thousand 1.2 mya.
