> I would rather spend my limited time with those I choose to.

I think his point is that you _have_ to spend time with people not of your choosing, whether you like it or not, by way of existing.

Yes, but that's not relevant here. Culinarily, they are not a fruit either.

Why would you think that?

Do you mean the lynx? See "Lynx" under Animals on https://www.themappamundi.co.uk/mappa-mundi/

And now there are two.

If you're talking about Star Wars, definitely not, because it's intentionally unrealistic.

Other sci-fi, maybe.

What? Why even say this?

If only the Forest Service sites could use their templates

I believe the plan is to undercut everyone else until all other sellers of $10 go out of business, then bring the price up to $15 and use your position to prevent anyone else from selling $10 bills again.

What usage lifetime justifies the total lifetime of a plastic object?

I'm not Indian (or from any nearby country!). I do not care if BJP wins the next election or whatever is going on. I am not part of the opposition. Your passion is so overwrought that you are seeing opposition where it isn't.

It is definitely possible that the exercise was carried out independent of the election schedule, but Modi announcing it (instead of some lower official) is because of the elections, part of making every bit of possible patriotism count.

Don't be too quick to overstate others' positions!

I think in this case it suggests that this device is somewhere between a traditional iPad and a MacBook Air. The leading photo portrays it with the keyboard attached, which is a little more laptop-y than your usual tablet promo photo.

I stand by the idea that the worst thing about the new logo is that it's not angled anymore. Even just tilting the new logo looks better.

But it won't even go to other stars!

Have you tried Goldrush?

So, yes.

I'm pretty sure the author meant "structures & processes" not "code".

Did you visit the app (https://jordaneldredge.com/projects/winamp2-js/) and press play?

No, that's the original SimCity, the predecessor to SimCity 2000.

Should there be no negative consequences?

Implies talking about this IRL

I really enjoyed weekly updates on the Gambian election

It's so nice to hear someone in the industry not be so optimistic about the latest cool new thing.

Whoever in the military writes the descriptions for these things has got to be so excited that microwave energy moves at the same speed as light, just so they can say engagements take place "at the speed of light"

Even if they are (which is apparently disputed), pointing out that someone is using a fallacy does not make them automatically wrong. Next time, you should try saying something more substantive than "Fallacy!"

Oh yeah, that's a very good point.

The experience of the Shuttle program demonstrated that taking off like a rocket and landing like a plane has a lot of problems that make it not as great as you might think. The wings, heat shield, etc are all pretty heavy - notice that the shuttle required two whole extra rockets and a disposable fuel tank to make it to orbit - and the heat shield required for landing like a plane turned out to be a huge problem (see: The Columbia Disaster).

Plus, it turns out that landing a rocket vertically is now possible. I'm not clear on if it's now possible thanks to advances in technology (particularly in automation) or if it's just that no one had tried it until now.

This is part of what makes him unreadable

Sci-fi? A bunch of these are just from the latest season of Serial.
