17 more years? I can't wait to see people in their 70's through 90's adventuring through the universe. Are stargates handicap-accessible?

Seriously though dude this is actually interesting science news vastly more important than some cheesy show.

"The notion that there is a shortage of physicians is preposterous - the residency programs will continue to be filled every single year."

How on earth are those two things contradictory? The problem is there are too few residencies for how many physicians we need.

The launch pads are not in outer space.

Seems kind of premature, the knuckleheads that are trying to do orbital datacenters have about as much chance of developing a feasible, economic orbital data center as I do in being crowned Miss America.

Hey, people pay good money for non-radioactive materials!

I was going to notify you that you have a cranky Scottsman here wanting a word with you, but then I double-checked, and for some reason a thousand Watts is a kilowatt. But then why is it abbreviated kW? WTF world? Please fix.

"No net zero?
OK, carbon negative it is, you heard the boss."

Wow, Caldera, there's a company I haven't heard about in a looooonnngg time.

Let's remember that they transformed into blatant patent troll and persistent lawsuit pest The SCO Group which Microsoft funded in a futile attempt to bludgeon Linux out of existence.

Ate a lot of paint chips as a child, eh?

Tesla is already in trouble due to profound incompetence.

I hope Ford gave all those hapless engineers back pay for the whole time they were fired. (Hapless, because they took the offer to come back instead of finding an employer that properly valued their expertise and experience.)

It seems that the gestalt of the era is not just plain incompetence, but a complete disdain for competence. Fuck these bad managers and slipshod stewards.

Good observations, though I am Gen X so after a childhood of editing config.sys to get retail games to run on the PC I have an incredibly high tolerance for putting up with that nonsense.

I'm a busy man. I'm also a lazy man. Could someone tell me if this is cheaper or more expensive than a desktop gaming PC with the same stats?

Additionally, the way it's phrased, as a "bet," is implicitly skeptical.

There is no question that states are betting on AI.
