True, one coud literally put any article on this site as modern technology is such a big part of our day-to-day lives and how we got were we are now that pretty much everything is related to it in one way or another.

How is it not far off? The GT list price starts at $150,000 (most people that bought one probably paid closer to $250,000) but the XJ220 didn’t sell for 462,000 dollars, it was 462,000 pounds which at the time was over 800,000 dollars, that’s a huge difference in price. Not to mention the inflation from 1992 to now…

Except for the XJ220 not being one of the better looking Jags (and substantially less good looking than the GT). The XJ220 is a 25 year old car so it will be missing any modern accoutrement you have become accustomed to in your cars. The XJ220 is a Jag so reliability is right out the window. In 1992 the 271 XJ220's…

“occasional forays into politics.”

What everyone is forgetting here is that Insurrection already did a lot of damage to the future of TNG (probably also DS9 and Voy). It was in my opinion even worse a film than Nemesis and a massive disappointment after First contact which was pretty good imo... That said Enterprise may also have a lot to do with the…

By god how did she get promoted? She was by a wide margin the least responsible, and most incompetent captain of any series (including Kirk).

Nah man, it’s not as complicated as that. Light-year, just like Parsec is just a way to describe really huge distances. As in it is as far away as light will travel in one year. Light-year is much easier to say than 9,390,000,000,000 kilometers...

I thought the whole point of Uber was it was something easy you could do on the side of your regular job to earn a little extra cash, and was not meant to be full-time for anyone...

That’s why cured meats are the best, we’ve been making them for millennia so we’ve gotten pretty good at it, also they found evidence in a 6000 year old polish archeological site of a cheese making process, so the whole meat and cheese sampler slate at your local fancy restaurant has Neolithic origins...

“an electric car is just a slow toy only good for puttering around a neighborhood like a dork.”

Basically calling the Demon/Hellcat the Babe Ruth of performance cars...

So? the same could be said for most objects smaller than a mountain. It would be like me saying I’m not fat because I’m slightly lighter than Chris Farley...

Or Whales or Scotland for that matter...

Anything of actual real interest in there? Fake moon landings? Grassy knolls? Little green men? The true capabilities of the Blackbird? anything like that? or is it just a bunch of beurocratic garbage?

Considering how badly broken his Engrish is in all his babbling I’ll guess that it is not a native English speaker. It might be an immigrant or refugee living in the UK, possibly trying to spread crackpot conspiracy theories or start some kind of lame cult... 

“his son’s Corvette and wanted to know which of his four houses in two Virginia counties he should use.”

Yeah Carl and his protégé Neil have been saying this for years, but still it’s pretty cool to think about. Not just us, but the planets and pretty much everything else is born from stars...

I mean yeah, but knowing about the dynamics of interstellar gravitation, one must assume galaxies are exchanging (stealing) stars all the time...

This all seems very speculative to me, we probably need to actually find this thing before we can even begin to make any reasonably accurate theories about it’s origin...

I heard it was in a super elliptical orbit, so the far end was 1000 AU but the inner distance might be a lot closer like 100-200 AU...
