The idea is for NASA to buy Pu-238, not make it. I am not sure how much Congress micromanages their budget though, it may very well be the case that money meant for probes cannot be redirected to buy Pu-238.

Why do you think any given hipster wasn't also punched in the gut for being a nerd? Who are you to say that your nerd style sense is somehow more "real" than their adopted image now? For all you know they were a nerd then,

So does this have much to do with calling people "hipster" in a disparaging way? And why "hipster", but seemingly not other insults (which >25 year olds certainly still make)? He's just yelling at kids to get

France has the resources to make Pu-238, though I am not sure if they currently have the facilities/equipment. If the situation really is politically impossible in the US and Russia keeps on flaking out, we could always try buying mor

PBR is very cheap, and actually very tolerable when you are in the market for cheap American lagers. Before it got a reputation for being "hipster" it was a popular "blue collar" beer, and for good reason. I'd call

I guess. T-shirts just seem like one of those hyper-cheap things that companies can give out with their logo. Not much different than pens or foam 'stress toys'.

I don't think it is accurate to just sum up "hipster culture" as obscure, or even obscure and retro. It is more nuanced than that. You could dress up like a 1980s goth kid, which is retro and relatively obscure these days, b

Ehh, I think there is certainly some overlap, particularly in the "retro" tastes, but I don't think what you are describing as geek culture is really a subset of hipster culture. Mario tshirts? Sure, you could call that hip

Maybe. Mixing legality and morality is popular enough though. In other words: "the drinking age should be 18, but it isn't, and you should respect the law". I suspect many would also oppose dropping the legal age for MADD i
