This just sounds like what the rich are doing already. Maybe they’re the time travelers after all.

Neurodivergent middle-aged Linux using anti-AI nostalgiagoggle-wearing very online privacy enthusiast with some degree of fixation on tech, be that privately (their hobby) or professionally (their job).

I know DeathByBigSad’s life story and internal turmoils better than my own at this point.

I can say “haven’t read that one”.

If you were going to do this, wouldn’t it make more sense to have the solar panels draping down like chain mail?

In looking up historical examples of camel barding, I actually did not find much, but this is similar towhat I had envisioned.

Considering the dearth of actual examples, though, perhaps such raiment was not actually used.

No, I don’t.

Sure!

Sigh.

Remember when tech news made us think “wow that sounds cool!”?

I always hated his stupid comics that are just one layer away from “we sure do live in a society” or “if I rephrase this banal observation about a mundane phenomenon then perhaps it will make it funny or interesting” (it doesn’t)…

… but with this new knowledge, now my dislike can be justified!

The 2013 one is fine, but to say it’s better than the originals is a bit of a reach.

So Machete Kills did exactly what it promised, it sounds like!

Well…

Souls-like games. My theory is that the people who like these games feel like they have something to prove. I do not, but all the people I know who are really into them had massive inferiority complexes.

I could rip into this thing a million different ways.

And so you have. Bravo!

Ok but people are already doing this.

Well in that case, it’s hardly worth it for such a pittance. Chump change at that point.

I love the way that this slowly resolves itself the longer you look at it, even though it seems totally abstract at first glance.

Hell yeah, what a neat idea

Because you can see it for the distraction that it is. In a vacuum it is a wonderful or at least interesting and significant thing but it is also clear that it’s just a PR stunt by the US government.

That’s not to belittle the training, dedication, preparation, and everything else that was done by all of the people around adjacent to or even inside the rocket. The indictment is not on them.

Man I’m still playing MUDs.
