And remember: when VHS came out and people taped their favorite shows, networks wanted to somehow disable that feature, because of lost revenue.

I managed to get ChatGPT to call itself an idiot...after which it got pissy and ended the chat.

That’s a pretty explicit warning, however, it assumes that regular citizens are already aware of the risks associated with spaceflight, which may not always be the case.

Think “the Jame Gumb/Buffalo Bill dance scene in Silence of the Lambs.”

Why did anyone ever think it was legit?

Also what happens when you have an organization dedicated to finding fault in what they analyse.

That’s not a mission statement, that’s total gobbledygook.

Humans and extinction.

I have little doubt that the unified app will cost more than the current bundle, too.  

But you’re not just stopping for the light, you’re stopping to “reconsider your life choices.”

Not necessarily “better engineered” as much as “over-engineered.” Ancient societies didn’t have the body of knowledge to analyse and determine specific requirements (e.g. how much weight it has to bear, under what conditions), so over-engineered it by rule-of-thumb means.

Also, as underwater, it doesn’t have to deal with an annual freeze-thaw cycle.

From the night before.

“Unhoused.”

Salt water is too corrosive to be used in a cooling loop (and gets more corrosive when heated). And, as well, the impurities scale water pipes. Generally you’d not want just fresh, but highly filtered water. And possibly pH-balanced.

If I’m any of those four people - kid who caused it, officer, driver pulled over, driver driving by - I’m investing heavily in lottery tickets.  Those are four of the luckiest people in the world today.

I’d like to think I’d have the presence of mind to hop the barrier instead...but honestly, who knows? Tough to predict what even yourself will do in that situation.
