I bookmarked OP's link for specifically for my kid, but I think she'll much prefer your version, simpler and clearer as it is - thank you so much!

Wasn't that a South Park meme, or did they get it from /.?

Yes. This is exactly what you do. But, in metric :)

Absolutely, and beautifully so.

Indeed, if you don't push back and reject it, it just encourages him to repeat the same - see Lake Ontario > Lake America.

Europe doesn't produce any fossil fuels?

Pleb here: the very fact you were able to eke a hexapod robot in the late 80s from OTC technology is super impressive. Just following your dialogue here enforces why I love HN comments x

My concern is more in the realms of cooling. I know there's the potential for lots of 'free' energy up there, but how do you then ensure your space-based array of GPU farms bleed all of the resultant heat?

Mein Gott, you're not just making this up ( https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/neevcloud-and-agn... ). But.. why? Musk bandwagon-hopping? Investor bamboozlery? (Same diff?) Is my borderline childish u

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love the sound of 80s-era 'lo-fi' sound chips - I just last week remarked on another forum that I realise that much of my adult-era musical appreciation was likely a product of listening to the loadi

It's funny, at the time I thought there was a lot more parity between the ST and the 500 but when I watch videos of the two these days, I realise just how much better the Amiga was. I'd always assumed the sound would be great on t

See, I'd class those as something like 'follies' or Whimsy, as they don't appear to be actual fortifications, rather forms of affectation. That said, I'm not sure what definition or list this site uses - as others

I'm well aware, but it could as-equally be because a lot of people default to 01/01 of their birth year when signing up to things online.

Sure. How long's the longest voyage these days? Mutinies aren't so common nowadays, but they were when ocean voyages were measured in months and years.

Yeah, this is the problem though - ironically highlighted by my still-maintained love and hope for Starship: Beyond Earth orbit, the energy requirement to move even small tens of tons of useful life-sustaining mass is incredibly expensive

Maybe I'm over-thinking things. It seems like a lot of people's existences essentially revolve around a pocket-sized glowing rectangle. Future AI and a database of all of humanity's experience before launch might be enough to

The difference there being that at the end of your day, having spent it masoning, you could leave the cathedral and go back to your family and have a walk in the fields and drink and be merry with people loved and new. The project wasn&#x27

I have no doubt that even the most republican of cultures launched from Earth would end up thoroughly monarchistic by the time the generation ships arrived at their destination. At best monarchistic - who knows what savage new forms of soci

Yeah, if your username is any indication of your age, you've possibly taken much the same trajectory of pessimism that I have. As a youth, I assumed we'd be hitting multiple Cs or bending space time when I was an adult; As an adul

Perhaps, but it is horrifically long in terms of human stuff.

Indeed, I'm fairly confident that I very specifically stated as much, as the fundamental underpinning of my comment. You might be interested in https://www.reddit.com/ .

by detritus 3mo ago
Out of interest, what value do you think that a comment like that has, in a forum such as this? You're not likely to be informing people with information they're not already abundantly aware of. Whereas the person you're resp

Oh! haha, sorry, it was late and I was a couple of drinks in when I first responded. D'oh.

Rogen quote? I don't know what that is. I think you're over-complicating this. It's literally just Score Points. That's all he cares about.

By his metrics? Probably.

It's a game to him. He won. Let's move on.

Yeah, I'm at once awed that something like that can be auto-generated (I presume?) and disappointed that it doesn't usefully or practically improve my understanding, beyond written synopses and human videos, at all. Stuff like thi

Yeah, I get that. But does it actually make them feel better? What do they say about sugaring trauma?

heh, funny you say that - I just yesterday almost bit at some obvious Nego-Trolling on here and remembered "Just don't engage". Some people, for some reason at certain points in their life, just want to shit on other people&#
