Companies are still trying to figure out how to make VR/AR mainstream beyond entertainment and niche use. They desperately want it to be the next cell phone, but we had good reason to want to carry around access to virtually all information and it was in a good form factor.

I agree with you - Google Glass had the right idea for the form factor. The problem is it's a solution looking for a problem to solve.

I question if you're American. No American I've ever met says "USA". It's always "US" or "Americans". USA is only said as a chant of pride.

I have the same experience as you. My local theater chain has good seating, plenty of screens for multiple options, people are usually very good at following proper theater etiquette. I know I could watch it at home, but I go for the atmosphere. Sitting there with no other distractions, having a shared experience with strangers...you can't fully replicate that at home.

It's a shame not everyone has the same opportunity at their theater.

AI Prion disease from cannibalizing other AI posts sounds like a phrase we should have in our vernacular.

I wonder if anyone has a list of unsolved crimes in the area. Would be great debate and journalist material.

...ok. I'm not that invested in continuing this conversation. Have a good night.

Is "go ahead, burn yourself" the new "let them eat cake"?

Isn't that the whole context of the thread?
If we were talking about a sit down restaurant and $20-30 a plate, it'd be a whole other discussion.

Because there literally aren't any fast food local hamburger joints in my town.

You're looking at it wrong. This is an emergency supply drop that will be found 100 years from now. A moon base will be in critical need of a part that can't get delivered on time from Earth and someone miraculously versed on the engineering specs of this particular lander will have a flash of insight that the one component they need to save everyone happens to already be on the moon.

Or so that's what I gather will happen based on most sci-fi shows/movies.
