i think the problem with googles moonshot trash is its really pointless, but flashy. as in: it gets into the news but has no practicality. it all exists just for a pr boost, its like a potemkin bell labs. you certainly wont see any nobel prizes being minted from the work done

This made me remember that I signed up for an account there in like 2005 or whatever. I was able to gain access to my account by answering my security question "what" with the answer also "what". I have received zero emails since 2005

If i had billions of dollars i feel like dying is the only bad thing that could happen it's true, a billionaire's only natural enemy is entropy it's just funny because it's so blatant. "oh poo poo, i'm rich enough to own several thirdworld nations but i'm still aging. quick, somebody invent immortality for me!"
