Yeah, except Nimoy never looked like he forgot where he was. In CrystalSkull, Ford looked totally confused a lot. I don't mean to be an asshole because I don't know anything about Ford's aging, but he totally looked like he was having senior moments on the big screen. Don't you know that look??
Smartphones are just tools, but they are designed to give us access to media. Media is wonderful and empowering, but when it's trivial and we spend most of our free time accessing it (watching TV, reading magazines or whatever), we're conditioned into thinking that what's important is not Here, but There. That's a drag on focused, disciplined use of time. And I believe it ultimately degrades the sense of self of the user. Unless they're dumb!
Have you noticed that most good group conversations deteriorate once a dumb/assertive person gets the idea to force everyone into watching an internet video? Then of course, the next most dumb/assertive person makes everyone watch another video.... At least ads before videos are putting a slight kibosh on this.
Always felt like other fast food chains make unhealthy food their "thing," meanwhile, McDonalds gets stuck putting pictures of people doing healthy lifestyle things on all their bags.
People always complain that food at weddings is really bland. Of course, you don't want to start with a high baseline of seasoning when cooking for a crowd. And then again, maybe most catering halls just really suck.
If we're going to be wearing glasses anyway, why isn't everyone going for 3d with headset displays? Everyone's going to want all kinds of augmented reality stuff anyway. Games and porn alone could get it paid for.
Or is there something totally stupid about putting a screen next to each eyeball that I don't know about?
Like, duh. Getting over fewer lines of resolution or compression is not as difficult as forgetting that you're staring at a box, screen, whatever and that you're watching actors and editing.
It's easy to pick on Volvo for saying "zero fatalities", but I wouldn't be surprised if there are vastly, vastly fewer auto fatalities in 15 years, like, maybe even approaching zero. It's not about protecting you from airplanes crashing into your vehicle. Think about the style of accidents that must inhabit the big area in the bell curve that are killing most of the people.
Oh, you know what, I just wanna make clear that DWPF is defense waste processing. It's not from like civil nuclear plants or anything. So I might agree that there's not much good stuff being done with civil nuke waste in this country.
They do this at the Defense Waste Processing Facility at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The process was begun about 15 years ago and will continue for a while. But it happens in phases and it's not like glass logs have just been rolling off the assembly line and straight into Nevada. The stuff they have processed is good to be stored at SRS for a while.
The second half of my dad's career was concerned with DWPF and I toured the facility before it went hot, so I know it's happening. It's definitely not a zippity-doo-dah kinda thing and it's easy to imagine the whole situation being hung out to dry by one major upheaval or another (act of god or government).

You're a drag, motherfucker.
You know what, they install the tin ceiling stuff in almost every cheesy new bar around here.
Yeah.
I think huge android phones are a manifestation of a collective iphone inferiority complex.
Yeah, well I don't carry my phone around in a purse.

What prejudice. Or self-hate, or whatever.
Hope these tools of yours help you sort the aggressors fast enough.
Does your partner make you hang out with too many dumb folks?
Remember that great "The Way Things Work" book with all the nice illustrations and cute wooly mammoths?
Live-action TV series.
Well then let's get him!
Is this a backwards opportunity taken for asserting that he is one of the Fathers of the Internet?

Anybody remember the Ninja Turtles villain, whatwashisname, Baxter something? He had these robot called Mousers that would attack the Turtles.
Ha, I guess games would be enough.

Come on, there are plenty of successful species that don't love their babies. Okay, no successful species that is susceptible to marketing.
