  1. Re:He seems to have let off a number.... on Here's Elon Musk's Plan To Power the US on Solar Energy (inverse.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    How the Hell else do you think Musk is going to concentrate enough wealth to build TWO machines to send Jodie Foster to Vega?

  2. finally, the penny dropped! on Here's Elon Musk's Plan To Power the US on Solar Energy (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    Elon's always been a fencing scar and Persian cat from being a true Bond villain.

    Obviously he's going to use SpaceX as a means to loft a NAZI Sun Gun to bend the world to his will.
    I mean with those resources, he'd have to be STUPID to not go the SSPS / superweapon route.

    sigh.
    no no no no no...
    Today's memesheet clearly lists "lazy millenials killing established businesses because the don't buy in to overconsumption" as the current paradigm.

    Also. What the world needs now is more luxury products to pry open the 1%'s pocketbooks.
    You can't have a consumer driven economy when consumers have no disposable income.

    ^This.


    The key unexamined aspect of Star Trek is that _EVERYBODY_ already knows all this, and they just doesn't care. They've been brainwashed by Starfleet to step into to the suicide booth without a second thought. Which gives you a pretty damning characterization of the pro-transporter lobby.

    BAH.

    In this age of mass customization, a truly high-end connoisseur will insist on each fastener be unique. Within the same device.

    The authorized factory service center will be the only ones able to order a custom-made disposable toolset based upon the serial number. Anything less and you risk letting the hydrogen leak romt the display an loss of image quality. You don't want to risk the embarrassment of your $1500 3D phone to only be able to display a pathetic 2.95D.

    the paradigm of the age is "we don't care what the users/customers/voters think, we're doing it anyway".

  25. The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.
