Up ta somethin'


you know I bet that there is one actual benefit to Musk being stupid - it gets reporters out of the actual rescuers hair.


the actual way he could in any way "help" would be to tell the rescuing team "ask for whatever you think could be useful - electronics, gear, even custom dive tanks - and it will be here as soon as physically possible. don't worry about the expense."

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
which will happen first, sustainable nuclear fusion suitable for power generation, or autonomous cars?

Ten years in the future, my phone lies on the asphalt and vibrates twice.

It has been ejected ten feet away from my corpse, the only survivor of the fiery maelstrom.

on it's cracked screen, visible for but a second before the battery catches on fire from the immense heat coming from the pile of plastic and lithium ion batteries, an uber push notification that says "sorry lag lol"
