  10. You mean I can go to a restaurant and order a vegan taco filled with real vegans?

  11. The launch is news. on Converted Missile Launches Military Satellite to Track Spacecraft (space.com) · · Score: 2

    The fact that it's a converted ICBM isn't, since Mercury-Atlas, Gemini-Titan, and Atlas-Agena (and many others) say hello from the '60s.

    The well known problems with full vacuum tubes are the entire point of the Hyperloop's design, which uses low pressure (1 millibar) instead of full vacuum.

    This is why they should transistorize it instead of using vacuum tubes.

  24. That's not a "Consumer Graphics Card". That's a gaming enthusiast card. Consumer cards top out at $150 or so, and do not draw 210W. Hell, most "Consumer Grade" PCs don't even have 8GB of RAM.
