I recently started tt-rpg again with the new D&D. Getting back to pen and paper is really refreshing and fun. Check your local game shop, or college for active gaming groups. Oddly all the players are older folks with a even breakdown in men/women. All the younger folks play MtG or some other card based game. I think Pathfinder might be the rpg for that genre.

Email clients could make this problem MUCH easier to deal with if they would just show the DOMAIN instead of overlaying the address with a title that is wholly made up. If you could see that your MS support email came from iamfuckinghack.com and not microsucks.com it would help. The mobile email clients are TERRIBLE in this manner and almost part of the problem hiding the true email address. Hell your client should point out those discrepancies when the mail is received.

Much like Twitter - what on earth do you need that many employees to do, exactly? Ebay has more traffic, but the core product scales horizontally, and they haven't added any new customer facing features since about 2005. Much like craigslist they could have frozen the core product 20 years ago

The DOD/DOW have been working on this for a while. They discovered, early on, that the device had a propensity to cause permanent nerve damage.

It's very unlikely the US have fixed that, as they'd largely sidelined the work as a failure. However, at 36%, Trump needs something he can call a win, no matter what the long-term consequences.

The only truly unique thing associated with Musk is Starship. That piece of tech is important for our species and everyone else is a solid 20 years behind.

"Important for our species" ... how? Trust me, our species ain't going anywhere. There's nowhere to go.

Yes, but probably illadvised. A drone is a LOT less stealthier than a squad of dudes crawling between bushes. That said, for getting restocked logistics to the front line, it could definitely be a winner idea. If you have a group behind enemy lines running low on ammo and food, then a drone dropping a bunch of ammo and ration packs to a dead drop is probably a lot safer than sending in Oleg the 18yo runner (who has knowledge of where those guys needing the re-up are and would fold under 5 minutes of car batteries attached to the nipples).

When I was a kid, my dad had a friend who was used as a runner in the vietnam war for sending intel back and forth from the front line. He had a nearly photographic memory but was completely illiterate. They liked sending him because they knew he'd never write the information down, and because he was a complete hard case they trusted not to fold under torture. The dude was completely mental though, lots of PTSD but was hilariously illiterate. They ran a chicken farm and would often put up signs advertising "mandurah $5Kg". Mandurah was the town we lived in, we all presumed he was selling mannure.
