those don't pay steady salaries

well, I almost said the same thing; just that they're ancient permafrost preserved alien farts, aged like fine wine

I would expect to get my pasty white ass shot dead by Chicago cops trying that stunt

there once was life on Mars, and it left methane hydrates in somewhat permafrost type situation that gets slightly warmed at times

Certain types of black people get treated very well in Chicago by the police, others like trash. That is not racism, there is another kind of social stratification going on.

suggesting adoption for purpose of making social experiment is silly.

Nemo was kind of like Khan, driven only by revenge for the killing of his wife and family and loss of his kingdom in the First Indian War, and his vendetta against imperialism.

I have shocking news for you from the 19th century, they inform me that the Great Eastern could only become a submarine vessel after sinking, what with it being a surface steam ship and all

that was done in 1949, that Aerocar and other flying cars since then of course require a pilot's license. The market figured it's just better to just buy a damn plane and leave it parked at the airport.

In older times companies were proud of their real leaders (NOT referring to management necessarily). That included engineers who had major accomplishments and who had earned respect for a lifetime of work. Those are the kind of people who could make such a joke and client's customers would know it was that person's joke, because they trusted that leader and had long success with their work.

Now companies only brag about their C?O people, everyone else is nameless faceless disposable droid

That is in older machines; with the advent of virtualization and the possibility the machine might be virtualized, the device is now fully implemented in software with a FINO queueing algorithm (first in never out).

No one ever claimed he invented or conceived of the submarine. Put your straw man back in your poop chute.

forget transitors, they're so 20th century. Quantum dots and such, that's a better use for graphene

the places I have worked have business model viable for decades, no social media hipster in 20s need apply

it's just an engineering challenge. in the late 19th century, people would have scoffed at the idea of an electrical device with over 4 billion components in a few square centimeters that was mass produced.

Or imagine the most esteemed scientist of that day being told that a 200 meter long submarine vessel with a crew of 150 could be made with a power plant that only needed refueling every fifteen years, and that it could go for months underwater without surfacing, with weapons sufficient to destroy dozens of large cities.

may not be sustainable, like introducing itself with competition crushing prices. too bad for the competition, they are financial institutions that bought up the medallions, cartel style
