Bezos' 10000 year clock would be a good place to hide a hidey hole like these guys are planning.

Well it's nice to have a product that when it breaks the damage done is restricted to a few misshapen cartoons and talking heads.

This has been going on for a long time. If I'm not mistaken when Michelangelo did the Sistine Chapel he would outline the major forms but he had a lot of assistants to fill in the details. So he conceived the design, drew that design

This article says absolutely nothing about why humans lost the penile bone. Ok not exactly true, it intimates that humans (males in particular) copulate for a short period of time so they didn't need it. From which we can infer tha

NASA did a study in about 2010 of electric aircraft where they concluded that battery energy density needed to be just 3 times the current state of the technology before it would become economically viable. [1] [1] https://ntrs.na

There's no point in even buying travel insurance if your upfront assumption is that you're not likely to need it so you're going to buy on price. On the other hand insurance is tricky at the best of times. (shill warning) In

Some people at a very young age have a passion that is very difficult for them not to follow. For the rest of us aimless souls finding your passion is probably poor advice. For us creating the venn diagram of "don't mind doing&q

The type of renewable generator, ie solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal and tidal, or a combination thereof is another dimension of grid diversity.

However the amount of storage (battery or otherwise) for a network of renewable electricity producers depends on the full diversity of the complete network. Which is to say, for example, that a grid supplied by solar and wind will need prop

Well they're all out now, thank goodness. Musk at least tried to do something and he did it quickly. Where was say, the US Navy? In the end it seems they dropped full air tanks at regular points long the route out. A super stressed

Hey let's not forget that business insider is part owned by Bezos who competes with Musk in the rocket business so articles like this should be taken with a grain of salt. I saw my first parked model 3 about a week ago and got out to d

It had better not be too long term because SpaceX has committed (the CEO, not Musk) to having 1.5 hour, door to door, travel between any two points on earth (with on of their space ports) within 10 years. All for the price of a first class

Interesting that he would do this before the midterms rather than after. I'm not sure what "...while continuing to serve in a senior status..." means but if it effectively forces Trump to choose a replacement before the midt
