If I was an engineer at SpaceX the very first thing I'd work on is how the astronauts are gonna get out/home when the dumb thing tips over.
My Credentials: 1000+ hours of ksp. (also like 80% of all recent real moon landings.)

I well actually'd a friend who said they saw an SR-71 at an airport and told them that it was an A12 Oxcart. I wasn't trying to diminish it. I think it's way cooler that they saw an Oxcart!
This is a problem I probably would know how to fix if I had watched the hit cbs sitcom big bang theory.

Got a pair of stretchy jeans for the first time. I mean, I thought the future would have flying cars and robots and stuff, but I'm feeling like these are a good compromise.

Talking sucks. I suck at talking. Why would I talk to a computer when I can do almost everything in a few clicks? It's insane.
They talk to the computers in star trek because people are watching a TV show and don't want to watch Data enter "scan-planet -power 99.5 -angle 45 -includeLifeforms".

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

To anyone stressing out about Windows 10 end-of-life I've converted a handful of 65+ folks laptops to Ubuntu (linux) and it works just fine for what they need. Browsing, maybe some spreadsheets.
It's fine! It works and it's not intrusive at all. The only thing it nags you with is to update.

I had a dream last night that someone stole all the baskets and doodads off of my cargo bike.
When I got on to ride it home it was like I was on a rocket bike zooming around the city.
The wind howled past me.
Passing cars looked like streaks of light.
It was glorious.
