Which part of it? If you're talking about the fighting, he's kept himself in shape but she's regularly training in martial arts and learning new styles and techniques. If memory serves, she used three different styles in that fight and was getting a fourth ready when he tried to escape.

You can just use Wi-Fi and a VPN tunnel on your phone. No need for separate device. Logging in can be done via biometrics, another long solved problem.

>Until it spits at you, of course.

What if you fill it with perfume instead?

Not in this config, active time is less than an hour and fuel tank it comes with is tiny.

Rifle and shotgun will almost certainly have a different pattern of felt recoil (timing of recoil impacting the carrier and force of recoil impacting the carrier) resulting in more difficult recoil control rather than easier one.

(Food sizes also seem weird to me no matter what. Why do tomatoes come in 28 ounce cans? Who decided that was a good quantity? There's probably some interesting history there.)

I'm only guessing, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it had to do with filling boxes of a certain standardized size. They made the cans so that they got a convenient number into the box and then checked to see how much they held.

I have an LG CX (OLED) and love it.
The whole thing about burn in is a canard; I guess it's a risk if you have like a bar-tv where you leave it on one channel with a chyron or a video game with a persistent UI (like the frames of buttons) that doesn't change for hours and hours and hours.
And "potentially thinner"? My CX is literally the thickness of a single pane of glass - 4mm. There's a point where thinner isn't necessarily better, I don't even know how the guy mounted this thing without cracking it.

That is every religionist's favourite fantasy and it does not survive contact with reality. I've had a major near death experience, it did nothing at all to convince me of the existence of god.

I think you've slightly misunderstood that quote. It doesn't say that atheists stop being atheists in foxholes and stay that way afterwords. It only claims that they start believing in someone who might keep them safe while in the foxhole but says nothing about how or if they believe later.

The foundational premise was that 'stuff's blown about by the Martian wind'.

Unfortunately, they still have to launch from Earth which is seething with them.
Wasn't that why Juno didn't use RTG? (that and the shortage of Pu238)

Funny thing, Montana is a big grain-producing state, and we have possibly the most unpredictable, and definitely the most absurdly-variable climate in North America.

Oh, and we also grow potatoes, but only in very limited areas (potatoes need more predictable conditions), whereas grain is grown here pretty much anywhere the ground is near enough to level.

At the risk of dating myself, I remember Intel being accused of fudging benchmarks to prove the Pentium 66 was faster than a 486-100 when it really wasn't.

Then there were Apple's creative AltiVec benchmarks.

And back to Intel's P-4 benchmarks that demonstrated how many NOps per second Netburst architecture could really do.

There is nothing new here.

Before this gets operational (IF this EVER gets operational) your car will be able to drive itself from LA to LV while you read a book or work on your laptop. It will also be able to drive itself from anywhere to anywhere, while this waste of money will still only go from LA to LV. And actually, not from LA to LV, but from LA main train station to LV main train station, while your actual commute is from your LA home to LV hotel. And heavens help you if you actually do not live in LA but in one of the surrounding towns, that's additional hour to two to your commute.

Yes, totally corporate welfare. Private companies should be forced to build infrastructure for THE GUBBERMINT (reverent bow) for free, because it's THE GUBBERMINT (reverent bow) that's asking! The audacity of demanding that THE GUBBERMINT (reverent bow) actually, you know, pays for services it gets should be appropriately punished!

Yep. Thus helping the blue states to maintain their dominance in technology work.
