As these get smaller and smaller, we get closer and closer to a dog pod grid: Aerostat meant anything that hung in the air. This was an easy trick to pull off nowadays. Nanotech materials were stronger. Computers were infinitesimal. P

"It's Mary's birthday in 3 days - send her a birthday cupcake?" I would probably click "yes" if it's < $5. Not for every FB 'friend', but there's a 'sufficiently close' threshold where, yes, I'd click that button. Even better if it's da

I was really hoping he'd respond to the law school student along these lines: "Well, where in your class did you graduate, and why did you think you'd have job prospects as a lawyer? Unless you're in the top 1/3 of your class at a good law
