Pah! Typical statement from a member of the 1% who fears the equalizing power that guns give to those who can't jet around the world training to be a superhero, or drive a personal battle tank.

My Little Pony is done in Flash, and they seem to get it into my TV somehow.
Some sort of newfangled thing called "video", I think.

Occupy elrous0's post!
I'm totally using that second paragraph as a bathroom.
No, I just meant oops, there's goes Hollywood again taking something loved and changing it beyond recognition for reasons only cocaine fueled egotism can explain.
The show is decades old, and seen globally. I encounter people in here the USA who have never seen it, but still know generally of "Doctor Who" and that it involves time travel. And it's on the BBC, one of the biggest networks in the world.
Mr Hollywood DoucheGuy acts like it's some little production on a local station like MST3K's early days.

For that second I actually got to believe that it was even *remotely* possible that a government official might actually take the side of the vast majority of citizens and consumers in America
I have considered teaching, but I really don't think I'd be good at it. I'm far from anti-social, but I have a misanthropic streak which pushes me away from such things. Years ago, I successfully tutored a friend taking Business Calculus from a C to an A, but that was a fluke. I paid off my house recently (bought way back in 1990s in an, at the time, undervalued spot), and I have no outstanding debt, so I could realistically start over from scratch. It's retirement that worries me. Despite the income, I have not handled my investing very well and tended toward hyper conservative.
I'm not married, my modest house is paid off as are my cars. I actually have few major expenses, but I do want to retire as far before 65 as possible, so the income is still important.
How about half cat instead of half fish? I can see advantages to being half cat.

You can't walk around without being on a CCTV anymore.
Time to invent the blur suit, or something that creates the effect on most cameras.
So now the store can find out exactly where you're driving as well.
OK. Then what?

Plausible deniability. The text is *technically* readable. :)
Is there some benevolent use of nuclear weapons that I'm missing?
Uhhh... Orion type interstellar ships?

I have a complete device ready to go. I know it looks like I took parts from a pinball machine, but it works. Honest.

I'm still enjoying the show. The fact that I have a crush on Karen Gillan might be a factor.
It needs quite a radical transformation

The edge of what?
It's not dangerous, but one of my peeves is people thinking there's no gravity in space as opposed to floating astronauts being a free fall effect.
The real paradox about the Fermi paradox is why people think it's a paradox. The linked Wiki article has a whole list of possible answers.
I must be descended from Hercules or something because I have no problem handing the iPad.
I've been using Macs since System 1, and I find the iOS nice and smooth.
Mmmmyep.

Thanks for the long answer and food for thought.
