“And I will also crash and burn. And I will survive.”

Sadly, Paul Walker did not survive after crashing and burning. *boom*

A huge Falcon build is highly similar to brain surgery (and I’ve performed neurosurgery, and built the original Falcon) just in terms of visuospatial challenges, having to work in steps, interconnectedness considerations, etc. So I disagree. It’s difficult. Both LEGO and neurosurgery are. Wait’ll you see some of the…

I built the old one. This new base/interior looks very much the same. When you start the build you’re thinking “well this is... different.” The open round areas up front were circular, now oval. I spot a few other minor differences. I guess the thrusters are those blue tubes now. They were clear blue 1x2 flat pieces…

DOUBLE vacuum pressure.

“Mr. Musk... we succeeded. It can withstand a vacuum.”
“Good. Now give me twice the vacuum and see if it can handle that.”
“Sir, that’s crazy.”
“DO IT dammit!”

Surely these dealers know that the “Supercar Impulse Buy” is a thing?

How much do the women cost? I’ve been there many times, but I never saw the Women Section somehow. Strange!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The *main* driver of climate on planet earth is not CO2, it’s the sun. That’s obvious, and scientifically correct. CO2 is up there... but Mr. Sun is, like, you know, pretty much the main driver. If you have a climatology test and they ask you this question, “CO2 or the sun?”.... I know what I’m marking. I’m pedantic…

Entropy will be so high that far in the future though. The usable amount of energy in the universe is constantly decreasing. Even protons have a half-life.

“Did anybody read on the front page of the Times that matter is decaying? Am I the only one that saw that. The universe is gradually breaking down. There’s not…

I don’t care what anyone says, I can still spot an artificial face from a mile away. It’s something about the skin movement over the bones and the mouth/teeth; programmers don’t quite have the lips-mouth-utterance trio down yet either. It’s close. But still noticeable. They need more data, and maybe some real-world…

If they poop, the Zombies in “The Walking Dead” poop, too. Everybody poops!

If Trump doesn’t get to use [the new plane], well, why should he give a fuck?

I want to cut a piece of wood for the government for three-quarters of a million dollars. How do I get in on this wood action...

“Eric and Donald Jr. are too unsettling, inbred-looking...”

Funny you’d mention this, as someone said this about Obama’s children a few years back, too, as I recall.

Heptapods only watch movies that deal with quantum uncertainties. Else, booooooring zzzzz.

Yeesh. What a bunch of hemhawing and pussyfooting. That was a word salad of equivocations. We should stick to the North Pole where the trend lines don’t require us to bribe a statistician.

The answer is just create some gravity in space; rotate people. It’s obvious that extended weightlessness is a non-starter healthwise.

The Walking Dead guys are to be shamed for inventing this “cliffhanger” concept of which you speak; truly, they ought shoulder the blame for doubtless many, many other TV series which are sure to copy this vile behavior.
