Might as well make it and store it at the bottom of the ocean where there's already plenty of pressure around.

If the reactor is hot enough it can live in a leidenfrost steam bubble and never have to touch that nasty salt water

With how slow the refresh is it looks like they're simply abusing the copy/paste buffer

Which is why many states charge electric vehicles a specific EV tax

People who actually own teslas are thrilled with our cars. Nobody is going to sue because the coffee, while excellent, isn't literally the world's best coffee.

You're really reaching for a reason to hate this guy. I've noticed that when people want something they can't have they go looking for absurd reasons to dislike it as a form of mental insulation.

You must be from Japan because you're confusing 'butts in chairs' with 'work getting done'

Wages don't lower themselves, you need a lot of hopeful fodder to fill out the bottom ranks.

What do you mean start? 18 states already do. I pay an extra $75 a year in tax for owning an EV, more than gas tax on an ICE vehicle.

I actually do it and I love it. I drive a couple hours a day and I usually pull in $30-40. I like driving and I like talking to people, and I have a day job that pays my bills fine, but it's nice having that extra grand in my account at the end of the month. That's after taxes.

Having an electric car probably makes the difference, I'm not constantly pouring gas in my vehicle, I just drive until the battery is pooped then plug it in until I'm full again. No sweat.

You have that entirely backwards

There is a faith based belief that consciousness isn't a result of biological complexity and that it's somehow this outside 'thing' that puppets our bodies from a pretend alternate reality plane.

We can use science to figure out how a couple pounds of meat can use a complex set of interconnections to model the physical universe, and we can use faith to believe that fragile and delicate process continues somehow, without any physical explanation at all, unabated after the meat substrate is a dead bit of human jerky.

Death is scary, and denial of scary things is a very human trait. I'm comfortable with the idea that I die every time my head hits the pillow and the consciousness of the day has flickered out. When I wake up a new me is born out of the data saved in the meat, kind of like lighting a candle twice will show the same shape of flame because the wick was the same for both fires; that doesn't mean the first candle flame continues at the next lighting, just that the new one is close enough to the old one to fool everyone else including itself.

That's so true, he should have used the word 'ignorant'

perhaps even 'intentionally ignorant'

You seem like someone who would like it out in the country. Live near a local store, go there and buy stuff with cash, go back to your isolated house far far away from anyone elses ring doorbell. Abandon all your phones except for a hard-wired land line, watch broadcast TV and dvds that you purchase with cash. You'll have basically nothing to bitch about at that point.

If you're so bent up about this, computers really aren't for you. Just dump them all and live a simpler life where we don't have hear you whining anymore.

"Oh no! people are listening to me!" Trust me, it's just as awful for them as it is for you.

Basic smearing of the competition. He's going to find reasons to hate any pie he doesn't get a slice of.

Are you genetically suited to threatening violence when you can't make a real relational argument?

some of us have filtered out msmash due to an overabundance of SJW nonsense

I want to argue with you, but the more people you talk out of driving the more money I make. So, carry on please.
