People born before 2000 think older technology just evaporated the minute the millenium ticked over.

Of course it’s all in my head. Its not like all my depression is stored in my right foot.

Tie them to the communications mast and give them thirty lashes with orions belt!

Most cafes aren’t open at 3am when I get off a dreadful shift and just want to wolf something down before collapsing into bed for 10 hours.

Knowing humans, yes! I think they will. Probably not the bits that fall off, they’ll most likely be placed in the visitors centre but given how sentimental we are as a species I can absolutely see us one day touring the sea of tranquility space reservation.

Leave a bowl out with a sign that says “if the bowl is empty, please knock.” You don’t even have to fill the bowl with anything.

Iterative development like that isn’t uncommon in engineering as a whole. Simulation can get you a long way but there’s a hard limit to that. You don’t think spacex designed a starship to use without running extensive simulations to try and figure it out before hand right?

Sometimes you need to test in the field just to find out what bits you missed. Structural engineers will simulate and calculate extensively but they’ll still build scale models and test pieces because it’s the most reliable and effective way to ensure you’re covering as many bases as possible.

Its not an either/or situation here. They’re doing the testing and simulation and applying it IRL to find out where things break.

Not at all! Nuclear is an excellent compliment to renewables and as a companion source to support the grid they are actually really effective. They’re also really useful in situations where renewables just aren’t an option such as large scale shipping. Obviously we haven’t seen any nuclear container ships yet but that’s mostly around startup and infrastructure costs as well as outdated regulations.

With small nuclear reactors becoming commonplace I wouldn’t be supprised if we start to see nuclear shipping becoming a thing in industry in the next 20-50 years.

Its already been proven as a reliable, safe, and effective power source in a naval context. The main hangup people seem to have is with accidents at sea, however again, the militaries of the world have already proven nuclear reactors safe in a number of accidents where a nuclear vessel has been lost and the reactors shut down safely and did not cause release of nuclear material.

Can’t wait! Cheap linux laptops are abound!

I predict a riot…

I thought it was that you should build your house out of decently strong materials or it may collapse under a stiff breeze

It originated from the Watergate scandal iirc. Watergate being the Watergate hotel but I guess water and gate are easy to separate and -gate kind of works as a suffix.

Remember, there is: Life is meaningless and nobody cares :(

And

Not true. Nothing quite gets the point across quite like “shits fucked.”

Focus less on trying to stop them leaving and more on giving them good reasons to stay.

But why is the rum gone?!?

Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me!

Because the potential cost to them doesn’t out weigh the benefits (or potential costs) they get from adhering to the ICC regulations.

Seriously admire the effort lol. Awesome project!

Most people only bring one or two bags to the shops with them. Looks like you’re bringing double digits of bags lol
