  • I’ll take seat 9, but only if I can switch seats with PP. I will kick the window seat ahead for 9 hours. I will also be having a 30 oz steak and pickled cabbage the day before and letting rip, lifting my left cheek each time to make sure PP can enjoy the beef. I’m really hoping for turbulence so he can’t leave the seat to stretch his legs much because I will also be reading out loud and I will be reading Karl Marx loud enough for him and our two friends ahead to hear.


  • I’d like to see the math on how fast you would get thrown around inside a Zorb going down a ski hill or a off a ski jump.

    I feel like you would still get injured but instead of hitting the ground once and stopping you would get a few Kilometers worth of soft tissue injuries and sprains compiled on top of eachother.




  • The most likely humanity destroying event to worry about is an AI for some reason hooked up to a defence system and hallucinating an attack since they are programmed to wait for an attack to happen, it doesn’t have purpose but to attack when it is attacked. If it wants to fulfill its purpose then it could just make an attack.

    The one that is going to happen is that we will wreck all our water in cooling systems, use all our power to run the servers, and bankrupt towns and cities giving tax breaks to companies that cannot possibly provide jobs and economic gains to those areas to offset the loss of income from taxing the AI farms. They will close up before the 5 or 10 year tax relief bills come due and leave pollution from their temporary power plants behind when they shutter them up.

    Marriage was the sale of goods in trade for goods or a further trading relationship.

    The goods were a woman and a dowry, the trade was two families having a long term business relationship or if it was royalty then a short or long term peace treaty between countries or fiefdoms.

    Likely the discussion of children in case of rich families and royalty back in the day, was how many wet nurses and maids were needed to take care of the children so they could be not seen and not heard until they were adults.
