1/5 children in America live in poverty. 2/5 lack adequate nutrition. But let's instead focus on improving the quality of life and longevity of the wealthy!
This reminds me of Faraday's response when Gladstone asked him what practical value electricity could have, namely that the government can tax it. If for some reason you suppose such research advantages will only be enjoyed by the rich, consider that all their extra working years equal free money to the state, whose costs for educating and raising each longer-lived individual remain fixed. Imagine what good those taxes could do to advance your social agenda.
Indeed, it's exceedingly difficult to get convicted of treason in the US. The list of people who have been could fit on a postcard and mostly involves things like defecting to the Waffen SS during WWII and similar wartime indiscretions.
rather than treasonously reporting government info requests, every time they receive such a request they will make their logo slightly blander. by this time next year, it'll look just like helvetica
The phones these days are so bloody wonderful that apart from adding a Fleshlight and 3D holograms, what the heck else do you want.
The horses and carriages these days are so bloody wonderful that apart from adding an electric lantern and a phonograph, what the heck else do you want.
Apple already patented "a method of locomotion involving jumpy-springy gear-type thingamajigs or whatnot" and if the bug doesn't have a sizable patent portfolio for negotiating purposes, it's going to have to start walking around like everyone else. Also, the corners on that carapace are looking suspiciously rounded.
are you sure about that? I just walked into my local adult-toy store asking for something with a 10 HP engine and three-foot blades that could do 1500 RPM and they just stared at me then asked me to leave.
I don't believe hand grenades have the same warning on them.
As a former Marine, I have some experience with hand grenades, and I can assure you that every case of grenades comes with an entire booklet of warnings, written in dense legalese.
Doing so with the full knowledge that Bob from Accounting is lethally allergic is...not.
Sure it is, assuming that the only way Bob can succumb to his allergy is by knowingly eating a sandwich clearly identified as peanut butter. In that case, one is no more responsible for his death than if he stabbed himself in the eye with a pair of chopsticks he pilfered from your bento box.
If Bob might succumb merely by shaking your hand after you wiped your greasy, slavering gob with it, that's another story. In the former case, Bob's fate depends on his own free will, as is the case when someone chooses to read a text message while driving.

What if I want to enjoy the unparalleled driving experience that Tesla offers without sacrificing the ability to piss off dirty tree-hugging hippies?
I saw a Tesla S with DC plates on it in Cape Cod over the 4th. While there are certainly other explanations it would appear that it was driven there.
was it towing a diesel generator?

We have met the enemy, and he is [REDACTED].
Well, remaining mentally and physically active has been linked to prolonged life spans . . .
not just linked. there's a concrete relationship: 100% of dead people are neither mentally nor physically active.
all of them are mothers-in-law.
Why does everything have to make a profit? Can nothing be done for national pride or to push forward the cutting edge?
Well said! Here's a hammer. Go build a MagLev train whilst I sit in this chaise longue waving a tiny American flag at you.
Australia (150GB / month) and it is plenty, pretty much
that's only enough because Australia also limits the kind of porn you can watch
I refuse to befriend anyone who would club me with his member.
they're still basically adult toys.
are you sure about that? I just walked into my local adult-toy store asking for something with a 10 HP engine and three-foot blades that could do 1500 RPM and they just stared at me then asked me to leave.
If it's pronounced like I'm pronouncing it, they should make hydrogen bombs.
Damn! This US intelligence is SO GOOD it kills "Al Qaeda" guys THREE TIMES!
you think that's bad, wait until one of those crazed jihadists chomps a power pill and starts racking up enough points to get extra guys
Just sayin'
Say or say not. There is no just.
Why not fit cars with a voluntary limiter that users can enable themselves?
I'm thinking more like the faster you go, the louder the sound system plays the Marche funèbre in order to remind you of your own mortality.
You could do this to prevent people from super sizing their burgers too, so while you're chowing down you have to listen to a requiem.
My Navigator knows the speed limit and gongs if I pass it
if you managed to push it to the speed limit, that's probably the Low Fuel gong.

and you have to read all of it within ten seconds
Fucking parents, how do they work?
So we can free up those people to do things we can't make robots do yet.
for a moment I wondered what things we couldn't make even a robot do, but then I glanced over at my sex dungeon...

You could start by refusing medical advice from a pastor...
What a silly statement. Was it not a pastor who discovered the very principle of vaccination? Louis Pastor, I believe.
