Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race.

This is true; however, 1%ers have a particularly strong need for exclusivity. The desire for power and the politics of scarcity are permanent features of the human condition, so you can bet there will be a "bio barrier" in the future as there is a "digital divide" today.

If you're gladly willing to pay $10k, the price will be $75K.

Helium, being not only a small atom but a monatomic gas, leaks through the tiniest holes. What happens when the helium gets out?

My 2025 Toyota with V2V V 4.0 can't talk to your 2018 Cadillac with V2V 1.0 on account of the notorious "engine braking bug."
Hillarity ensues...

What if I want to operate Rent-a-Drone? I'd be making money off them but not operating them in any way. I'd even make the renters sign an agreement saying they will use them at the local open field for entertainment and not in any commercial way.

Mod parent up please. No a la carte has been cable's Achille's heel since forever.
