And that’s why you always ask for a full glass instead.

Was it Randall or someone else who mentioned in a speech that infinite patience could be a superpower? Like, when you arrive at the store just when it closes, you would just stand there outside the locked door until it opens again. Anyway, this comic connects beautifully with that idea.

I wonder if there were already some early prototypes he could have drawn inspiration from.

Is this a thing now? You’re trying to turn it into a thing, right?

Haven’t I read this comment somewhere before…

Is the decade long transition period really over?

It’s a tradition at this point. If you post an infographic about unix/linux system folders, you’re obliged to avoid all modern sources. Preferably, you would use material that is at least 20 years old.

Here’s an idea. Once you’ve already split the water molecules with electrolysis, you should throw those streams into separate mass spectrometers, but without the detector obviously. The idea is, that with ions flying in a magnetic field, their mass would determine where they land. Anything that isn’t the right kind of isotope, let alone right kind of atom, would be separated into the waste stream.

There’s also a huge 0-wheels market. Just think how cool wheel-free skates and boards are.

Maybe one day I’ll get a Cahill-Keyes projection on the wall. I think it’s useful to see how surface areas compare.

It’s great for navigating at sea, but bad for looking at the world as a whole. Nowadays most people use maps for the latter; hence the complaints.

It’s called research. You search for something, can’t find it, so you try again; hence the prefix.

My guess is, the map of North Africa is really rough, because nobody actually put in the years of research time to produce a detailed map. Haven’t really tried looking for a better version, so if you find one, that bit of evidence can prove me wrong instantly. If that’s the case, the map we see here is a simplified version meant for internet audiences.

Norwegians seem lo love linguistic about as much as Finns do. Because of this enthusiasm, people have been making extremely detailed dialect maps for decades. My guess is that these two countries are the exception and the rest of the world focuses on funding other types of research.

Either way, NASA is already exploiting it. I guess, next they’ll find a way to glitch through the very fabric of the universe to teleport to a distant galaxy without moving at all or even using any energy.

That keyboard thing was pretty clever. I would not have thought of that.

They said that people would start dying like flies in no time. Why do I care? You see, currently houses and cars are so expensive, because there are many people who also want to buy those things. If the population was cut to a fraction, as was promised, the prices would crash accordingly due to massive oversupply of everything. I’m still waiting for the day when I can buy a house with 1000 €.

Aah, the classic Soon™. The gaming industry has taught you well.

We were all supposed to die by late 2020. What’s taking so long?

I think we could send robot farmers there to grow some food for the people living in orbit. Maybe low-G carrots could be nicer than the ones grown on earth.
