Hint: Earth orbit is ~100km/s. Solar escape velocity when starting at Earth is ~50km/s. So it is twice as expensive to hit the Sun rather than Alpha Centauri.

Feel free to do so for me. I am right.

There is plenty of desert, and deserts are growing. Set aside a few million hectares, and use the rest.

Besides, if you want to conserve the deserts, putting nuclear storage facilities there would be just the thing. Otherwise a good portion is getting covered with solar panels within a decade.

Cost to get to the Sun is worse than escaping the solar system. It would be cheaper to send the stuff to Alpha Centauri.

Never mind, the designer already thought of that. Sorry about the interruption.

No I see the point now. That is a rather nice design.

What do you do if you are on cruise control and suddenly spot a hazard? Press a button on the steering wheel?

But how would you disengage the cruise control with your foot? Would you have to press a button on the steering wheel before doing emergency stops?

That does not sound particularly safe.

I know what heel-toeing is. You have no use for it in a fixed-gear car.

How do you do cruise control with just one pedal?

It may be a foolish mistake, but it was also very easy to prevent by design. Either move the pedals farther apart or change the error handling in software.

The thing is, you have no use for heel-toe in a Tesla. Not only is it not a manual, it does not have gears at all.

Heel and toe is a bit stupid in a car without gears...

I believe the main difference is that remote X is rootless. People like that. Somehow they forget that remote X is non-persistent, uselessly slow, and that session integration is almost entirely missing.

Do not misunderstand me, I would love a persistent rootless remote display with decent performance and session integration. Alas, X is not it.

Desperately yes. The Nord Stream pipeline somehow got misrouted to Russia instead of to the US. But yes yes yes. Any gas you have, please send it our way.

Alas, that is not going to happen. New LNG production facilities are difficult to justify and slow to come online, and most of current capacity is needed to supply Japan.
