  1. "So, I need you to design a high throughflow pump." "Sure no biggie" "I wasn't finished." "Ok continue" "It needs to operate with cryogenic and highly reactive volitile fluids," "Um..." "A tiny distance away from temperatures that may be higher than the melting point of any know material" "But-" "At ambient pressures ranging from sea level to a total vacuum" "Doable I gue-" "Oh, and it needs a reliable remote start and to not be maintenance while being as light and cheap as possible cause we're kinda sorta gonna treat it as disposable and we're on severe weight restrictions." "Mfer! ANYTHING ELSE?" "Oh yeah, it needs to operate under the backpressue of the weight of an entire building and if it fails, it will cost money and lives, because we don't exactly have a backup plan if there's a mechanical failur*choking sounds as is being strangled*" And that's just the engine pump!

  2. ....really? -.- Thought you far right nuts were gone by now.

  3.  @TeddyKrimsony  so is the butter in my fridge...

  4. You're forgetting a huge issue: Musk's insane contempt for people who actually work for a living and mass transit would mean sharing a vehicle with us, so he'll pull out any option that doesn't involve that. If you just understand that Musk's vision of futurism is less Star Trek and more cyberpunk distopia, his general behavior and even aestetic choices will make a lot more sense.

  5. Chapter 1: start rich from your parents' unethical business practices.

  6. They don't carry sole blame, but they are the worst offender (other than maybe Facebook at this point, depending on how you wanted to argue that)

  7. Ah yes, the Alex Jones legal defense...

  8. Yeah, the techbro worship really needs to stop for a bunch of reasons.

  9. Depends on the type of lock you're talking about. If it's not something that's giving a clear radar reflection (due to, say, being too small), the only "lock" you might have could be a computer tracking the relative angular position of a visual silhouette with no distance measurement. Or in other words, basic camera tracking of some outline distinguishable from a background.

  10. So what you're saying it's an alien!?

  11. I am absolutely appalled by Thunderf00t's poor understanding of physics and engineering. He clearly has absolutely no idea how the device he talked about works. I'm referring to the trebuchet, of course. You don't "spin up" a trebuchet! That'd be stupid. Let's not insult the beautiful physics of the trebuchet with comparisons to this disaster in waiting.

  12.  @googleuser9383  ...do you think that going completely off topic to complain about people being called racist might say something about WHY you think they're calling everyone racist based on your anecdotal experience? Maybe just a little?

  13.  @0okamino  multiple times yes, that's the one

  14.  @ganzmontejo4176  you mean the car that the only component he actually made something patentable for was the proprietary charging plug that only stands out from other EVs because of the marketing campaign?

  15.  @ganzmontejo4176  false equivolence + golden mean fallacy. Musk is demonstrably a conman, hasn't done the things he's given credit for, draws resources and attention away from real solutions, and has done a bunch of other negative BS. When one side is correct and the other is wrong, meeting in the middle means being half-wrong.

  16. My friend came up with a definition of magic I'm inclined to agree with: "Magic is rules that break other rules" I'd say, to qualify as magic, it would definitionally have to suspend the laws our universe operates on in some way, at least locally and temporarily. Thus, magic would be something that could break laws as absolute as thermodynamics, if it existed. It would actually have to to not just be physics.

  17.  @Lucien86  I'm (in good fun) arguing the philosophical position that were magic to exist (I don't believe it does, to be clear) it would be able to completely suspend not just our understanding of physics and find little workarounds to do things we didn't think were possible (such as your example), but actually shatter the premise that physics works the same everywhere in space time and actually get a section of the universe to operate on entirely different rules for a time.

  18.  @wastedtalent1625  should I be laughing with your helarious satire of Musk fanboys, or at you for being such a desperate one? Please clarify.

  19. I mean, that's always worth considering.

  20. Physically? Unfortunately to the noticable detriment of the species Mentally? Not even close, even when he's trying to appear presentable when the cameras are on.
