I was about to buy a white Tesla but now I'm not so sure about the Tesla at all, but especially that combination.

Won't you think of the long term consequences?! Something like twelve yachts might never get built now! And that one yacht company's CEO might have to pull the ripcord on his golden parachute!

Yeah I definitely took breaks and actually just never went back after a certain point. Not because it was too intense directly, but one of my breaks, I just never went back.

Depends on whether you want kids though. Free birth control, just eat more pesticides by never washing your produce!

I think, per usual, we're going to pretend this is a witch hunt and there's absolutely nothing wrong with any of this but the Dems are fighting dirty so now they're justified in fighting dirty too!

Maybe this is going to be the real Half Life 3. You thought it was scary in VR? Get ready for IRL.

I at least like the toaster if we assume instantaneous faster than light control. If I can sit and watch a feed of stocks and toggle a buy/sell toaster hooked up to the stock market 250 ms away, I can pretty easily beat the market and make money.

Similarly you could use the empty container rule to have someone communicate with you by toggling the empty state of a container. If you sense/not sense the container you have a reliable binary communication channel and Morse code is pretty viable too. But it's probably best for a predetermined action because you're racing the latency of light here and we're not multiplanetary yet so you've only got hundreds of milliseconds margin to work with. Unless you contract with NASA or anyone yeeting things into space. Build an instrument that can Morse code via empting/filling a container and suddenly voyager can send us instant communication. Combine it with a set of control toasters and that's pretty valuable too.

Teleportation: is there a cool down? Because most places can be teleported to in increments of 7 inches if I can chain them.

He's not even experienced, he's new! Why's he the one we picked to investigate?

Next time you could even add gzip or some other compression and save yourself a bit of time and bandwidth.

And part of that problem is that the aforementioned group of people deliberately make it harder to vote so that it comes down to whoever they can get more outraged. And guess what kind of people get more outraged?

This must be the melting pot our forefathers envisioned.

IDK, if I was contributing subtitles for an open provider free of charge who shared them free of charge, I'd be glad my subtitles were helping people who needed them. Now that labor has been turned into capital and that rug has been pulled with no back-dated compensation or provisions for free subtitles for hard of hearing or something. It's a shitty move across the board for everyone but the owner.
