"posts" would be plural.

That sounds pretty violent.

Drivers are getting fatter and fatter, and the only way to get the car to move at the same speed is by continually improving the car... to end up at the same speed as before.

It's luck until you can repeat it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you can't explain how dark heaters work without the idea of quantized packets of energy, or indeed understand the various sources of noise in tubes.

Or just the good old phototube.

Gosh, I hope not, otherwise what are all those tunnel diodes doing in my 50 year old scope? Come to think of it, without quantum effects, you can't even get a vacuum tube to work...

He's many things but an engineer he is not.

"In 1992, after spending two years at Queen's School of Business in Kingston, Ontario, Musk transferred to the University of Pennsylvania where he received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He stayed on a year to finish his second bachelor's degree in physics. He moved to California to pursue a PhD in applied physics at Stanford but left the program after two days to pursue his entrepreneurial aspirations"

By the time he finished his economics degree, he could probably work out for himself that engineering is not the path to riches. Paying OTHER people to do engineering, on the other hand...

Let's get rid of realtors next. Another bunch of useless parasites.

The machine is a Lavazza. One would hope the beans are something else.

Do we also worry that China and India graduate more lawyers? There's a problem here. We accept that technology makes us so productive that a few people are all that's needed to make a world-wide impact, yet we still expect everyone to work.

So we have lawyers, who are protected by the fact every country or state or province has its own laws... Shouldn't we have one set of laws for the whole planet?

We have one set of physics and electrical rules for the planet and look at the power that enables.

But we'll never see a universal legal system, too much vested interest.

"The page you requested could not be found. Perhaps it was attacked by a thargoid?"

No, first there was everything, then it changed.

When someone starts making new 456 1/4" tape again.

Oh, a virtual machine image all set up to go?

I can download a file from the internet and it will install and run on my computer!?

Why haven't I heard about this before??

Seriously, maybe explain why this is important for the old ones among us?
