Takes a battery that big with how big honking them servos are.

Yeah me explaining magatama, magnetite, and why a cell phone can summon demons.

Or how it turns into a comparative religion class after a point.

Those same parents would probably absolutely lose their shit if they saw Shin Megami Tensei where you do absolutely summon gods and demons, and the final fight usually involves attacking and dethroning the Abrahamic God.

If I wanted to trap an autistic person in their job and extract the maximum value from them for the minimum pay and supports, I would:
- hire them and tell them how much I need them
- wait for them to learn to love the job, earn people's trust and have an impact
- start taking supports away

So, how long until he abouts face and puts lidars back in the cars?

With electrified trains cheaper and easier to run. And arguably even more important due to how embarrassing over stretched American ATC is.

I shouldn't need to take a flight to Portland from Seattle. Train should be easier and cheaper.

My estimation of a movie drops if it is longer than 90 minutes. I only barely begrudge something like Dune or Interstellar because big movie.

Oh Lord it looks worse in the banking maneuver. Like the cockpit is too small and the canopy changes shape in the bank.

And the exhaust comes out looking like a cheap lighter.

The airplane looks like shit too.

Fuselage like an F14, dual tail planes likes an F15, , but a single engine bell with vectored thrust strakes that look an unholy amalgation of f16 and F35.

I'm pretty sure in 20 years I'll still be playing Stellaris.

They guy in the commune that spends all their time shit posting and would never help with the harvest or cleaning up the toilet, and gets pissed when they get kicked out

Join us, our UIs are rough but aren't spying on you or locking you into an ideological closed garden where games don't work.

Also, big DB of what to do for many games that regular windows abandoned but still run fine in Linux. Only ones that don't work at this point are ones with anticheat rootkits

Nuclear spacecraft propulsion is also a thing. Or selling to the government because the fleet needs full refubishment every 15 years due to radioactive decay

Short of finding a biochemical or neural reading system for pain that is reliable, this technical approach is really dumb.

Like the only two techs that feel like they would even get close is THZ imaging or SQUIDs. And they are still a ways out

How's the overhangs on it?

If the goal is to make old type pressurized water uranium reactors, would need enrichment

Problem is that tech is outflanked by solar on one side and the Chinese thorium gas cooled reactors on the other.

Unless he has a neat trick for a solid state reactor, this is a turkey.

If we all had easy access to clothes out of a space 3d printer, we would probably all dress bombastically. I know I would.

Think this will be a fun one.

Probably.

There are certain places it makes sense to use less thermodynamically efficient but can be made with 1960s tech like liquid air storage. Also I like the idea that with the right mechanical systems one could even use solar thermal to do this.

Hideo Kojima wrote an entire game around this trope, with death stranding as Sam walks through even more desolate places
