      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Bloomberg

      1/ There's a classic trope in SF stories (maybe other stories too?) where X thing is introduced for a good reason, then Y for a good reason, then Z ...then the hero/villain snaps X + Y + Z together to make something awesomehttps://twitter.com/business/status/993743284894863360 …

      2/ One example I recall is a short story where the galactic federation allows wars, but they have to be low-tech 15th century wars. So mercenaries are screened for high-tech on the way to each battle. One faction brought in fighting sticks and tent shelter halves. Both legal!

          Of course, and right on cue, there's tankies in the article comments blaming capitalism and banks for lack of affordable housing. This is why we can't have nice things.

          Now I want to know the diameter of his boring machines compared to the size of one of his BFR capsules.

          Oh my. So the wiki entry for the boring company says "By February 2017, the company had begun digging a 30-foot-wide (9 m), 50-foot-long (15 m), and 15-foot-deep (4.6 m) testing trench." A 9 meter width. The entry for the BFR says its diameter is 9 meters. It. is. happening.

          Reminder that Elon Musk is selling flamethrowers so he could sell hats so he could fund digging machines so he can build habitats on Mars so humanity can survive when AI wipes out life on Earth and none of what I'm saying is an exaggeration.
