The logic follows real behavior. Just fed the cats, they've walked away from the leftover food and in cleaning mode. Open some unrelated container...cats are back in the kitchen expecting something.

Musk is the kid in the video that moves all the people to just one of the tracks, gets praised by everyone for thinking outside the box, and then proceeds to run the trolley down that track.

I didn't see mention of what allowable ceiling of flight this is for, still below 400 feet? I would expect there will be regular flight paths established to specific urgent delivery customers (like hospitals) rather than just any package.

That's not even realistic. I know that Starfield isn't meant to be a simulator, but if you put in something to try and be "real", you should do it right. Gravity would affect the weight of something, but the inertia is still the same. Moving and stopping a big object in space with no gravity at all is still hard to do.

Unfortunately a literal reading of Genesis 1:28 says to subdue the Earth (master or control in a few translations, and use all the resources for God's purpose in one). Those trying to paint a nicer picture might change it to being stewards of the planet (which is what I always heard as a kid), but that's not what's there. To be fair, it was written in a time where the world seemed endless and humans couldn't possibly destroy everything, a mindset that lasts to this very day. Even less than a century ago we were okay with dumping stuff into the water or burying it, or burning things because it was a huge world and the smoke disappeared into the sky.

Heart attack scene from Brainstorm

There is no "proper" English, there are only various versions of the original. If you really want to nitpick, American English stayed "truer" to the original English because of various reasons while the British version diverged more over the 18th-19th centuries.

Or in a shorter form, adding a 'u' to make some words sound more...French...is just silly.

I can't see him ever doing #5 or #6. Just a combo of #4 and #7.

Any solution to a problem that's existed in the past is going to be unfair to those who had the problem in the past. That can't be an argument against doing something now. Some blue collar workers could turn around and use the improved system to go back and get degrees, and an improved economy from less people in debt will indirectly help others.

"Thinking of others' needs is socialism."

"Yes. Yes, it is."

It doesn't feel legal. A bookmark is textual data you've stored on your computer for later reference, and while it is on their application, somehow this feels wrong. It's definitely wrong ethically, but is there something in the user agreement that says they have full reign of whatever the browser can touch?

You can update the test version all day long, you'll never get better results than if you just push it to production. Fridays work the best.

Most people will read the first part of the highlighted subtitle and move on to the next social media thing thinking, see, it's pretty much over now. It's never going to be over, it's just not quite as bad as it was when we didn't have anything to fight back with. "Still more dangerous than the flu" should be highlighted as well, and while it's not a huge percentage people do die from the flu, and the actual flu (not the cold that people think is the flu) is nasty to get even if you aren't at risk of dying.

We continue to do everything either wrong, or barely minimum to say we're doing anything. Any wonder why so many are sick with persistent symptoms? (but have to get back to spreading it more work anyway because America and The Economy)

Some people roll better than others

I've had to deal at work with the occasional "you don't have to wear a mask" for a while, and now while I still wear a mask I hear people around me coughing and sneezing. Yeah, I guess it's excessive, but it does seem to help.

Maybe you didn't mean to imply it, but a vaccine isn't protection from infection, instead it helps the body fight off the infection better than without. Sometimes it may seem like it's acting as a shield since your body doesn't even react with symptoms, but there's still crap around. And as a healthy person who has fought it off, you're acting as a carrier now for what's left in your body. Maybe excessive is okay.

I've seen the classic B-movie "Battle Beyond the Stars" mentioned as comparison to the plot. But that's okay, as "bad" as that movie was, it was still a fun ride and I hope this one does okay.

That would make vaccination for anything useless if the requirement was to prevent any spread. Reducing spread involves other factors, vaccines just help lessen the effects of getting sick when those fail (or aren't used at all, i.e. American anti-maskers and crowds because economy is priority).

Nothing has a survival rate of 100%. Want people to stop eating or drinking, or taking a shower, or just getting out of bed?

Still better than Steve Bannon.

Unless you use a VPN/browser security addons (don't know which breaks it). The "register your device" has never stuck for me. But it's not a big deal even then, just another step as long as there are a few options to choose in case one method isn't possible at the time. The "are you a robot" ones though...I really need to get a bot to solve the ones that still pop up for me (definitely VPN).
