No, you're confused. That was the Star Wars Holiday Special.

I don't blame you for feeling that way, however.

If that were true, we still wouldn't have fire.

Yep, you would have to call it a day. Barely anything runs, there is hardly a reason to be on the Internet.

Which might be the best part of this idea.

Yeah, and it's going to be liquid nitrogen cooled and have a battery life stated in milliseconds.

But it will be thin. Wafer thin.

"Kick me"

So we can ketchup with our worst fears.

Health benefits. Unless you are in the biggest of risk pools (large state, Fortune 100) the policies can have rates that scale with age (and sex). If you are a health insurer, the best pool of subscribers is 18-40 year old males. They pays their money and they takes their chances. And don't have pap smears or kids.

There are lots of carve outs for stuff like this. Many companies can't get insurance policies that are offer different prices for various patient classes. But there are enough of them that can do that and since insurance and benefits can equal salary for employees, you can bet the companies look very carefully at this.

Which is just one (of many) reasons why continuing to base medical insurance on employment is batshit insane.

Welcome to our world.

Moving your index finger is a pretty low bar for the term 'interactive'....

And this may be the bottom of tale - be careful citing changes in something that's been tracked for a long period of time. The metrics explored, the hardware used, the software used, the editorial bent of the persons reporting can change things either subtly or overtly.

Details matter.

That said, every time I walk through an urban or suburban neighborhood at night, I'm always struck by the amount of flickering, bluish light emanating from the windows. People are busy watching something.

Cancer rates may have doubled [citation needed] but life expectancies have as well. Complex problems. Make one thing better, make another worse.

That is, until you really break things.

Murphy was an optimist.

You must really want to get the SLS up. Although I have to hand it you, that sort of thing just might get you enough money to get the damned thing off the pad.

Bottom line (sorry) - there is a metric shitload of capital out there waiting to make more capital. Since that's all that kind of person (or corporation, but I repeat myself) really worries about.

It's ALL about dealing with increasing growth. Which then becomes an exponential function.

Which, in the real world, typically don't end well.

Perhaps they should ask for a credit card number (and expiration date / CVS) along with the naked pictures. Just to prove they're over 18. Don't want any child pornography here.

  Then it will seem totally legit.

We can put them on Facebook perhaps. That ought to do them in.

Cuttle.

'Cuddle fish' invokes this insane concept. And you don't want to go there.

Really, you don't.
