A light bulb is isotropic; a laser is high gain, but both deal with inverse square law. If you shine your laser at the moon, the beam is pretty wide when it gets there. which is why you can't have a, for instance, HAARP/Tesla Death Ray in Gakona, Alaska, and beam all those "Jigawatts" into a tiny spot in Haiti or Japan and cause an earthquake.
Tesla is an affront to the Texan way of life, where car dealers and oil companies provide essential customer service. Not surprising there's so much junk laying in the road ahead of them.
It's worse than that. They are going to put wind turbines on a free-flying platform and generate many more kilowatts because, you know, the wind blows more steadily at 50,000 feet.
Or maybe they found the secret of Tesla's free-energy Pierce Arrow.
What if on the "seventh day" (the last 13 billion years or so) God rested, seeing that what He created was pretty good already, so He didn't need to mess with it? I know that would throw off some fundamental Protestant timekeeping theories, but Catholics are cool with it.
Same thing with me. I'm surprised he heard of Ubuntu.
Now I don't waste my time. I waste THEIR time. "Hold on a second, I'll go get my charge card". Put phone face down on a pillow, go about my business or go take a walk outside.
If they call back, I let the answering machine waste his time.
I have never (since 1968) had collision coverage on a car, even on a new (well, 1 year old) one. I always pay cash, never get a loan, so if I wreck it it's my own fault and I pay for it myself. And so far I'm waaaaaay ahead.
I've been to some little villages in Madagascar and Uganda. They're paying for diesel generated electricity which shuts off at ten PM, and running kerosene lamps and charcoal fires. Putting up a few solar panels on a house can have a pretty short payback time.

30 GB is fine for all the Linux distros I run. If I have 4 GB or RAM I take one stick out and save it as a spare.
Linux Mint. 3 problems...maybe more... solved.
"The courts have long ago recognized the right of sovereignty over the constitution..."
Roe v. Wade, 1973.

...they can pay chick wages.
Not to mention a Chicago politician, with the usual connotations that brings. Hubris, for starters.

Well, the moon used to be made of green cheese, but by 1969 it had died off.

And Google would never, never, sell your information? Not like that dastardly Canonical, or that awful Mint that just gives it away.

I'm just wondering if there aren't better uses for all that hardware. Maybe, solving problems we have here at home.
Retrain? Just get the Zorin version of Windows. A couple minutes fooling around and you're back to work. Or, maybe Mint.
I doubt that. I bet he was as happy as a clam.
They're watching their hero on television explaining how he's going to fix his ACA website.

Because your grandma skypes, googles, and uses kleenex. When there's a button to clicky, she'll call you.
Wait...if I can edit documents on my phone for free...maybe I can do it on my PC? >
Move to Greenwich, UK, then. We don't want to go back on railroad time.
Literally!

I see what you did there.
If in fact you meant it that way.
No, Calvary, AKA Golgotha, the Place Of the Skull.
Well, sure, that's how we build fighter planes. One piece in every congressional district. What could possibly go wrong?
