BFR is arguably the biggest risk SpaceX has ever taken.

Boy was my aim way off! Will have to put some more work in on my sky-hook.

Mind. blown.

This.

I carry a portable electric hair dryer. It's rechargable and lasts about a day.

Googled "kackflasche".

Was disappointed.

Has he been able to solve the problem of bridging the gap between the bathroom stall and the waste bin? Ir does he flush them? Most stalls in the colonies don't have waste bins in the stall. So you are faced with the problem of how to dispose of your dirty nappies. If you walk out of the stall to the vin before going to wash your hands you will be on the business end of some odd looks. This why most wet wipers flush. There are, however, alternative methodologies.

How do you get them from the stall to the trash?

>If I had poo on my arm, I'd use soap and water to clean it then rinse well.

This is the correct answer.

Baby wipes or go home.

>Looking forward to trying a Japanese toilet with those sprays...

Why wouldn't you just use the 3 seashells?

FWIW a Martian year is 687 days.

At one point he briefly mentions (almost in an off-handed way) the issue of scaling the novel semiconductor production approach. Would be interesting to know how big of an ask that really is. Maybe I'm jaded by current events but figure it's only a matter of time before the science community has its Bernie Madoff moment. Especially in light of how renewables seem on the cusp of their moment to shine.

Is there anything akinto different flavours? Or brand differences?

Is it like people and cigarettes? Like Brand X is your brand ornate and you'd rather die than have to drink brand Y?

Is there such a thing like a sommelier for mate? Maybe like wine: "I detect notes of lavender...."

This is incredibly interesting!

Very interesting. I drank mate with friends from Buenos Aires when I was a teen. We would drink it the traditional way, namely out of a small dried gourd with a metal straw. Are you saying that mate (pronounced mah-teh like a southerner saying "my tea" fwiw -- not an Australian addressing a friend) is not commercialized in Argentina? As in, people offer their personal mate and there are not "mate shops" that would equate to "coffee shops"(think third wave USA)? Or that they prefer Mate to coffee, hence there are no "coffee shops" while there may or may not be "mate shops"?

I guess I like the idea that mate is so personal than you wouldn't go to a commercial shop for their blendbut ratherwould share your homebrew with a friend on a park bench.

Unless, you know. Fog. But there's never fog... in... SanFra....

goophabet?

Zuckerberg seems confident he doesn't need to really give a crap. FB will be fine either way. Why bother? He's got better things to do with his time.

If intelligence/sentience isn't magic for you, then consider existence. How strange it is to be anything at all.

And here I am like: "If the taste makers leave, I will leave."

jk I've never Facebooked.

I didn't believe it at first. There's no running from this war.

>"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

>I bet...

>stick to facts

okay.

FACT: You bet Manafort isn't a traitor.

Bob Mueller would appear to have a different opinion.

Guess who my money is on.

Manafort was just a covfefe boy.

While the criticism directed at social media is certainly warranted. I feel compelled to take exception with your reliance on false equivalence. It's kinda qualitatively different when you're actively engaging in illegal activity while working hand in glove with a clandestine foreign intelligence service to undermine your own countries democratic elections on behalf of an adversarial foreign nation state. If you can't see the difference, then keep at it. I assure you it's there. But if you already know that then you go ahead and keep explaining to folks how apples and oranges are the same things because they're both round fruit.

Throw in a couple jet ski style tow ropes and you're golden.

So it goes.

Fallacy: whataboutism.

"recruited"

They basically hired away Carnegie Mellon's entire SDC research team.

Even without a safety "driver" you can have an employee monitoring with a finger on the kill switch.
