Ohhh, copy and pasted a bit too much there.
(I also like to throw the occasional Magnificat or Nunc Dimittis to mix it up. As you can tell, I'm a reformed choir boy. Oh, and Jerusalem by Parry/Blake is custom designed for drunken singalongs.)
I beg you to listen to the first two pieces and perhaps reconsider your chosen metric.

And as for emotion, this version of the 1812 Overture always sends chills up my spine.
At home with 240V I use 3 prong so presumably I'm properly grounded as this would be an ongoing annoyance I'd definitely notice.
Why can't they be? NASA seems to test them on Earth. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19960007443/downloads/19...
Long bow bro.

I wonder how that interacts with his previous post?
E.g., BP used to advertise in my country with ways you could reduce your carbon footprint.
You know, have shorter showers, recycle, etc.
BP is a company profiting massively from fossil fuels,and for funsies, on whose behalf the British government asked the CIA to overthrow the democratically elected government of Iran, and install the exiled Shah, who was much more business friendly.
So they pay clever people to try to refrain climate change as "if only you did some things, it'd go away, it's your fault, all of you."
Pay no attention to the corporation behind the curtain.
Now that leadership has decreed AI for all, and is handing out Cursor licenses left right and centre, I look forward to more pain.
A doctor in my area once explained why caffeinated alcoholic drinks were worse than regular alcohol.
Alcohol helps you do dumb shit, the caffeine helps you do dumb shit for longer.
I feel like there's a good rephrase for LLM and devs.
Sapir-Worf taken to the extreme.

He bought into a pre-existing company.

How is the 4680 going? And is BYD eating its lunch yet? Last I looked they losing court cases over a particular dry cathode patent.
And well, BYD's new fast charging tech is far more performant than Tesla superchargers, multiple car makers (including Tesla!) are using their batteries not the 4680, so...
> Launched brand new self-made rockets to space, at scale, including catching them on a ship when they fell back from the sky!
That is indeed pretty cool, but did Elon actually do that? Also, how's Starship looking? Can it take more payload to orbit than a Falcon Heavy yet? Is it exploding less often?
> Bored tunnels cheaply
[citations really needed] If they can do this, the Boring Company isn't capitalising on it, I see a lot of cancelled projects, and only one where the public actually uses it (in Las Vegas).
But hey, Elon's definitely a doer, just you know, sometimes he's doing things that are very bad for the companies involved.
If he could stop trying to micromanage his companies, and just trust the very very very smart people who work there, and maybe I dunno, turn back time and not get radicalised on the Internet because his child transitioned, and avoid getting involved in politics in the absolute worst way possible, he'd accomplish so much more.
Someone once told me that Tesla and SpaceX largely succeeded in spite of Elon, and it rings true.
But I feel mean-spirited commenting this on a 3 year old post, that feels like an eternity ago in the Muskverse.

So helpful.
Wearing them imposed minimal burden, so why are you surprised when you signal that you don't care about others in your society, that they responded in kind?
