I Want To Hold Your Hand - The Beatles.
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 2 days ago:
Agreed, no need for it to be manned after it’s built. Maybe the occasional trip for general maintenace and that’s it…
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 2 days ago:
The ONE justifiable thing I could see is to set up a massive telescopic observatory on the far side of the moon.
Why the far side? Because the moon goes into eclipse many times a year and on those occasions when it’s a full lunar eclipse - at the far side, it is in the shadow of earth and is for a few minutes, the darkest place in the solar system we can have massive equipment arrays permanently set up to look into deepest space.

I don’t see any good reasons to rush humans to mars…
More to the point, no human has yet left the safety of earth’s magnetic field. The moon is well inside it and that is why the astronauts could go there, and come back and not end up riddled with cancer.
Mars has no magnetic field so going there and coming back will be a trip that likely incurs a shortened lifespan.
Will need to sort the diseases that come of solar radiation exposure first.

Heaven only knows. Welles died decades before youtube.
Which Ninja is he referring to? The guy in Die Antwoord?
So many questions.
- Comment on I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran 1 week ago:
Yeah… so sorry Ed… I probably should just leave a message for him on my voicemail saying I’ll be unavailable.
I have to wax, uhhhh… the lawn.
- Comment on No Man's Sky 10th anniversary Cosmos update is here, and that means orbital bases, space station ownership - and yes, you can finally fly to the sun 2 weeks ago:
That sounds like your friend was in a custom mode that was set to eaasier than you.
I build in Creative mostly now (2,000+ hours in) and have been visited by griefers that tried to shoot me (didn’t work, 'cos hello… creative!) and in one case, the guy came in surrounded by a cloud of VERY salty Sentinels that swarmed my base area and were chasing and shooting at both of us.
It’s quite irritating to get shot at while you’re trying to build something.
Once he cottoned on that I wasn’t killable, he checked out the build, gave a thumbs up and left and the Sentinels went with him, never to be seen again.
It’s definitely weird when different play modes meet, for sure.
- Comment on Are we at a point in human history where we can get robotic limbs and other things to better our day to day lives? Like a robotic arm where I can pick up 100lbs with one arm and so forth? 2 weeks ago:
100 lbs with one robotic arm? Can you currently carry 100 pounds on one side of your body? If not… uhh, having an arm attached to you that can carry 100 pounds will be meaningless. The REST of you has to have the strength to carry the arm and the 100 pounds.
Unless it’s like some exoskeleton armature you climb into.
- Comment on Keep them secret 2 weeks ago:
This is EXACTLY it.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 3 weeks ago:
Ehhh, no. The millionaires right below them will erupt in a frenzy to take the top spot and assert control of as much as they can.
Say what you will, but those most vicious ones at the top spend a lot of energy keeping the ones who are just below them, in their places. I see that a ton of misery would spring loose as the multi-millionaires fight each other to get to the top.
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 3 weeks ago:
It is precisely why we are here at this point in time.
Watched it unfold over the past 15 years as my grandparents generation passed into memory - their actual experiences of WWII and the warnings for our country - and it’s now only in our memories of them and their stories… and it’s scary as fuck to see the kids - like at that kickboxing fight in Orlando that had 20-something idiots unfurling a Nazi flag.
Stupid fucks.
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 4 weeks ago:
Yup! The baer where I buy my coffee on occasion has their menus listed with two prices… The card prices are 4% higher. So an item that is priced at 7 bucks cash is listed as $7.28 for card.
Makes me so glad that I have never signed up for a card.
Over 60 with NO credit rating… delightful.

Insurers have never been “honest business”…
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 4 weeks ago:
…That’s customer service for ALL companies. Nothing works any more…
The insurance company that we use for our cars is delightful to deal with. I haven’t even had to wait long, just leave a call back number and get a response within 15 minutes. Then again, it’s a regional insurer, (Maine, NH and MAssachusetts) not a national one.
Funny as hell, as I just got a bulk mailer for Progressive Auto insurance and it was offering me coverage as low as 67 dollars a month for a basic liability policy… For one car.
::sighs:: My dear, sweet dudes at Progressive… I pay 740 bucks a year… for TWO cars.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 4 weeks ago:
Get a spring-loaded window curtain rod, and notch the end that goes against the glass, so it doesn’t slip. Throw on a shower curtain liner (they’re cheap) and call it a day.

Look at it this way… the band’s getting royalties.
Good ones.
- Comment on Is this true? 4 weeks ago:
Oh hell yes.
I’m playing Horizon Zero Dawn Complete (it includes the DLC) and as soon as I got to Daytower, I ran into a guy named Ohtur who mentioned The Cut… I pivoted and headed up there and by sneaking around everything with higher stats than I had, (which was almost everything) I managed to find resources that got me a wickedly powerful weapon. Game changer. Literally.
Being able to get to any part of the map and find it’s hidden goodies is amazing.

- Comment on google's getting pissy about using their shit while logged out 1 month ago:
That is a point you need to bring up in your official capacity with the 911 dispatch you work for. Tell them what is going on and ask for a system account to be set up for each agent so that it’s just a formal login that is tied to the job and nothing else.

- Comment on Today is my 25th birthday 1 month ago:
30s. Those were the fun years. Am 61 now and NGL, once you hit 50 and get gray and wrinkles… you find that people will give you even less shit. Which is amazing! Some say that it’s the aches and pains that come of age that suck the most, but I’ve always been a bit on the clumsy side with a high pain threshold, so it’s been a constant since I was a teenager.
