Ah, a pity. I love listen to audio books, but you're absolutely right, the narrator is sometimes more important than the narrative. Some gifted narrators probably could read out operating instructions of kichen machines and it would be

Just read his lectures decades ago. So, he was an overall great guy, you say? And there is an audio book version of his illustrious escapades? Great, have to give it a try. Thank you!

Art is an almost subjective term. The only objective measure is the agreement of society on what it accepts as art. But this shows a constantly changing flux of influences. The producers of art are for the most part just some combinatorical

Yes, computing is everywhere. Sometimes fun but somewhat superfluous, so to say. I would argue Andrew Adamatzky is somewhat behind, ahead and the head behind alot of this stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Adam

As you demand, eager to serve, sir. But what's it worth to you? Preferably in real estate, gold, stocks, bonds or bitcoins. If need be, I'll also take cash. No NFT's though, sorry.

The Afghans will take care of it. Did you know the mujahideen sometimes skinned captured Soviet soldiers back then? They called it 'taking off the shirt', if I remember correctly. Of course, the Sovs were more civilized. When they

I have said decades ago, what goes out there will no longer be human, one way or the other. Much more opportunities and less risk for robotic AI out there. Lagrange point stations may be feasable again. They were a thing in the '70s. L

You are one of the latest links in a 3.5 billion year unbroken chain of beings whose web weaves through the world for miles and miles above and below the earth. Billions of you and your ancestors suffered and let suffer to bring you forth.

In shipbuilding, it's not that unusual to rebuild an entire ship. Of course, modern ships are modular. I suppose with submarines, compartmentalization is a structural given anyway. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QirVr-pE
