Didn’t flying wings fail because people on the outside move up / down 100ft every time the plane turns?

This. Nobody’s talking about points and condensers here. Comparing late 90s’s / 2000's to 2010's is where the question gets interesting.

It seems like the ‘dark comedy’ thing was a pivot, at least in how they cut the commercials. The first one was all serious and was hilariously self-important.

Ah, didn’t realize that was the purpose of those. 

I wonder if some kind of egg-crate pattern in the concrete would help

This is a deeply uninformed statement.

Soo, anybody called dibs on the engine?

“So these colors are like... really intense. There’s this blue one, and then a black one, and I guess a pink one too. Anyway, thanks for the clicks!”

It did. apparently the author couldn’t be bothered to spend five fucking minutes on wikipedia to find one of the examples from the animal kingdom, the most recognizable source of structural color.

Another Chinese no-name watch, this time whitelabeled by a company in Dallas! That’s the second-largest city in Texas!

This thing is a glorified brush torch, it shoots like 3 feet. No way it’s subject to ITAR

There is an ample supply of very smart people who want to work on cool projects. Sources of money with organizational skills and appetite for risk are much rarer.

Maybe I’m missing something? I thought her letter was essentially “I have a bunch of followers, you’ll get a bunch of exposure.”
