      Extremely popular approach nowadays, rather than consider other peoples opinions with whom you may disagree, it’s easier to decide that they disagree with you because of a personality problem or emotional disorder of some kind, which relieves you from having to even consider or analyze that differing opinion. The most popular method at the moment is to characterize people who have differing opinions as being “haters.”

      @steam driver It's possible the collapse of cheap airlines since covid might shift the economics towards HS2 but the other side of that coin is the massive swing towards working from home with a consequent huge drop in commuter numbers which will far outweigh.
      The reality is this is a flagship project which politicians believe will bring them some kudos but will inevitably end up being lambasted as massively over budget and under delivering.
      At least the same number of jobs with far more widespread economic benefits as well as greater traffic reduction can be bought for less money.
      It makes no sense from any angle except political flag waving and corporate profits. Plus the usual bunce opportunities we see from palms being greased along the way. Are you one of those earning big bucks from HS2 or just another anorak getting wood at the thought of a fast train to spot?

    Well, I'm sometimes tempted to burn down Apple stores, but not because I hate technology. It's because the most recent version of the Apple mac-book I was stupid enough to buy is terribly designed and removed all of their previous version's best features in the name of making the machine thinner, which also had the side effect of leaving it with inadequate cooling and a keyboard that is prone to failure because you can't effectively clean it without breaking the keys.

      I loved the Breatharians video. I always thought that beyond the obvious, there is one good item of proof. The fact that no Armed force uses it. Thing about it, one of the major costs of deploying any armed forced is simply feeding and watering the people involved, together with taking their waste products away and processing them. The supply chains are also a potentially major target for enemy attacks. Destroy an invading army's food supply chain and, after a few days, they are effectively disabled. The logistics required to get the food to people are a major cost to any army. You can bet that if Humans could exist without food, the Armed Forces would already be doing it.

      Most people don't know that the original budget was $20 Billion.
      When that was considered too much it was redesigned and the number came back at $30 Billion.
      When that was considered too much it was redesigned and the number came back at $40 Billion.

      We've to test our designs with de-caped chips, which means that the protective cover/package around the component is removed to simulate the harsher space environment. We haven't had very much luck with our current project, the de-caped chips we're supposed to use are so sensitive ... just breading within arms-lengths of them seems enough to damage them beyond repair...

      Best I can suggest is have the whole team go and do something totally unrelated and totally trivial. Go bowling or something. One of you has the answer you just need something that gets your brains unfocused so that it can get out through the noise.
      I did a control system project on a sheet metal machine back in the 90s that had this insane problem we'd never seen before and couldn't work out WTF was going on. It wouldn't be there, then it would and it was NEVER the same.

For Musk as a businessman, this is great - whatever he says is automatically promoted and defended, and it does not cost him a penny.

Work was hard and dangerous with no support for sick or injured workers, the food in cities was subject to constant adulteration and the water often polluted, leading to many health problems. Unsanitary conditions lead to disease running rampant. Enclosure of the land meant people who became city workers couldn’t just up and become farmers.

    Yeah they are right, I really hate the smart phone I’m watching this video on, my smart watch for telling me my heart rate whilst watching it, my VR headset for entertaining me, my car full of tech that makes me safe when driving it, the smart plugs in my house that give me control over all the other tech in it.
