Well, admittedly there's every possibility it is someone actively trying to reach me who isn't trying to harass me and just refuses to ever leave a message. But if that's the case, then I guess the robocallers have won.
Well, the idea anyone could generate enough anti-matter to make it a cost-effective weapon right now with current technology is totally fictional, I'd wager, but it has proven to work in lab tests on a very small scale. "Rods of God" as he calls them are however significantly lower-tech and something far more realistic to be afraid of.
They had already previously deleted a bunch of idle accounts, I thought I had heard. So if you hadn't logged in for years, you probably had lost all your stuff before this.
Come on, that's a lame excuse and you know it. Toyota could have eaten Tesla's lunch here and everyone was waiting for them to do it, too... only to see them basically just set the ball down on the floor like this and walk off the court. I think Tesla is cool and all, but this has made me really disappointed in Toyota, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
Yea, I mean if you're a loser car company and your plan is to cede the first chair to Tesla in the most flamboyantly expensive way possible on the gamble that there will be a big enough secondary market for "extremely long range" vehicles that can't be covered by all-electric, sure.
But for Toyota, this was probably an excessively dumb move.
Law enforcement is behind the curve a bit. They're all like: "Oh hey these guys have been breaking the law! WTF guys? You said you weren't doing that!"
Are these models those new ones with the carbon-fiber wings that I was so sure were rushed to market too fast and might just shatter if they banked or climbed too hard in cold weather?
If a solar storm knocks out all the navigation and communication satellites and fries all the radio electronics within 100 miles of the planet's surface, I think you'll find that starvation rates will spike dramatically shortly thereafter.
Admittedly, deception will probably be unaffected.
Right. And since we can safely assume that it did, it means the premise they're using as the reason for the phone calls is a lie. I don't really have any good guesses as to what this is really about, but I can guarantee that it will be at best futile or at worst a very bad idea to make that phone call.

Learn to respond to ping and then maybe you'll impress me.
But not always.

The question is, how long until robocallers start getting that people will do that?
About a year or two ago.

You're just lucky. Once some asshole puts your number in the list though, you'll never be free of them. They call me 2-3 times a day now.
That's because you're using Comcast.
Yea, because then if they try to Nuke the U.S., the missiles will land in the middle of the Pacific.
Well yea, but it will also make it illegal to claim the Earth is flat so... win some, lose some, am I right?

Yes, especially when we know they're gonna outsource the system security to Microsoft.

There is no convincing evidence that you exist, either.
Do a thought experiment. Apply that reasoning to everything else currently paid for by taxes.
Good luck suing someone's random FaceBook page for the same lies.
Oh, I'm sorry, did I just point out the glaring flaw in your logic?

Yea, but it's a minor initial buy-in for a long-term savings that makes mathematical sense even aside from the whole saving the environment thing.
Plus, it creates jobs... actually a lot more jobs than the coal mine and power plants they shut down.
Yea too bad we never invented a way of storing surplus electricity for later use. /sarcasm

Here's someone asking the right type of questions.
