  • I'm sure Musk will weep for anyone who dies in these experimentations. He's totally not a sociopath, you know?

  • In some ways, alcohol is more damaging to society than drugs and part of British society glorifies drunken stupidity. But more importantly, congrats on going sober!

  • I wasn't implying there was a need for a sixty year old computer, just that some natural materials are superior to their substitutes.

  • I have sixty year old hobnail boots that are still solid. Synthetic material would have failed long ago.

  • I got Steam on Christmas Day, 2004, so I'm not quite at the 20 year club yet. Regardless, the badge still impresses a great deal of fellow gamers.

  • Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice

    Better known as the Anti-Fun Police.

  • Cats always consider themselves to be in charge, so this is logical.

  • DS9: The Visitor

    "Computer, remove onions."

    "Beep-beep There are no onions in your room."

    "Dammit."

  • Berlin, when the wall fell.

  • to create a fortified apocalypse bunker state,

    It exists and it's called Switzerland.

  • And the longest running webcomic with very little downtime like other comics suffer from.

  • What I say to that is reject modernity, revert to phpBB forums.

  • Not a great social replacement, but robots with the right skills and dexterity could do some of the more menial care work, which could help people maintain independence for longer.

  • It balances against the harsh darkness of the main storyline, and in a 26 episode series you can’t just bash out war after war after war episode - everyone needs a break.

    The almost entirely relentless grimness of Picard season 1 is exactly why I detested it. Except Riker's pizza episode, the rest was just characters acting unconvincingly traumatised and chugging alcohol.

  • The darn hippies should be happy they have a job! Money is for rich people!

  • Well, now we know who will take a wild ride toward Moscow if the project succeeds.

  • Well, that explains a lot of things.

  • The trouble is that part of society glorifies alcohol abuse and believe it's impossible to socialise without it. In some ways, it's more damaging to society than drugs.

    In the case of obesity, I started secondary school just as they phased out cooking classes and limited anything that was hands-on, so it's not a big surprise that people don't learn good habits. Parents also don't seem to have done much to teach cooking skills at home since the pull of convenience food is so strong.
