"we think probably in about six months, we should be able to have a Neuralink installed in a human." Man, you could said the Ever Given through the gaps in that.

And therein lies a problem - I don't remember having to wait for the patent to expire on the chicken that I eat.

Surely that's the thing about funding - it enables loads of other things to be developed too. Most of the technologies needed by the Apollo programme didn't exist before that started, yet the need for them to exist for Apollo to be successful drove their development, possibly far quicker than had the need from Apollo not been there.

I genuinely can't think why someone would type that message and then think "yup, that's definitely what I want to say" and then hit preview, and then submit it. I can't fathom of the mind that thinks that's in any way a nice thing to do.

Oh boy this is going to make the flat Earthers angry - I love it!

Goddamn formatting fail. That'll teach me to try to be clever...

Couple of things: 1. Our health service is no where near to collapse. 2. We have Prime Minister, not a Chancellor (well, we do have a Chancellor but he's of the Exchequer, so not responsible for formulating non-financial policies). 3. Cases in the UK are high, agreed, but have been falling for the past few days, and the bulk of the cases are amongst school-age children who are the least likely to suffer significant illness. 4. Whoever wrote this summary obviously has no clue what's actually going on the UK. I am no fan of our government, nor of their handling of the pandemic, but the alarmism and general lack of understanding here is staggering.

Wow, I really hope that was a copy/paste!

Thanks bro, I did. The problem being that said article was written on 2nd July - before the flight actually took place. If the report is going to be about the flight itself, surely a more reputable source could have been used. That was my point. It's not my fault it went over your head.

Jeeze, that "article" on that website was incredible, in that it's incredible they had the gall to simply repurpose other people's work and present it as their own. They brought absolutely nothing new to the party.

Excellent! This is going to help no-end when the moon explodes.

This is true :)

The way that article is written screams "how dare anyone criticise the Saintly Musk!". I mean, I'm no fan of ViaSat, but the way that article is written is so biased its not funny.

Took me about five readings to get it! Chapeaux!
