Wow. Did someone just voted from the rooftops?.. Does that mean that everything else failed?

How unexpected was the internal combustion engine! How surprising! What a creative act, to violate the rule that you shouldn’t start a fire inside your vehicle!

Kessler-Kaspersky Syndrome: It is impossible to access orbit as the newly-launched object will get instantly pwned by swarms of previously infected satellites, now orbital malware platforms.

Now that every PC ~and their dog~ has had USB-C/USB3 ports for a while It is strange that we can’t use it for direct connection easily and still have to bounce link off some noisy channel first.

Like, come on, the devices are sitting next to each other. With a single symmetric cable we could be having secure 5Gb+ connections right away!

Okay Google, who art in cloud,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen 🙏

The aircraft went from idea to service in 20 months.

Excuse me… the fuck?..
