As I understand it, Excess heat is a big problem in space, due to the lack of any convection. Doesn't sound ideal.

You couldn't make it up, eh?? /s

Come on now, the internet timing gods like trolling as much as anyone, we have to give them something to work with.

Really? - that doesn't sound like them...

Are Kuiper belt objects allowed in Scrabble?

He should've hired 8 hookers, dressed them in sexy Startrek uniforms, and taken them up with him. I can see the poster now, a breathtaking image of the moon, taken from the capsule's porthole - and faintly reflected in the glass, is Maezawa doing his O face.

"Baking and starving us all" - as demonstrated by our ever so reliable computer model, that predicted we'd all be underwater by 2005. It's a giant con / power grab. Those in on it get fabulously rich, and the rest of us get the shaft.

It's not art, any more than a collage of renaissance painting parts, cut out and stuck to cardboard, is a renaissance painting. There's no craft in it. If an obvious text request has a chance of being as good as a "secret text prompt" - it's clear what part of the system is doing the heavy lifting, and it's not the human.

Beats paying them, I suppose.

Can a doctor REALLY not tell? Or do they just claim vehemently not to be able to, whilst waving a rainbow flag, wearing their pronoun badge, and hoping not to get sacked.

It seems fairly obvious to me people hailing from different parts of the world have noticeable physical differences. That's no reason to treat anyone differently of course, but it seems rather dumb to pretend it doesn't exist, and then act all shocked when an AI points out the obvious.

We used to DREAM of transistors!... We'd get up at 4 am, and walk 12 miles to t' gallium mine. Work 12 hours digging, then smelt the ore wi' out gloves, nor mask. Then we'd walk back to t' university, and our professor would look at the gallium, say it wasn't pure enough and throw it in our faces!

But you tell this to kids these days - and they don't believe you...

Yes, but we liminal internet users (I am also in that age group) are not what will become of the world. We're on our way out the door, so to speak. Perhaps in our old age we can make a lining using our multi-minute attention spans to wow crowds of youngsters with our mental feats. :-)

Same. I'm 2 or 3 days a week in our office, the rest remote.
