>$5500/semester is basically free You're absolutely insane if you think this. Like, how divorced from reality do you have to be to believe this?

Honestly, given everything you listed I'm challenged to think what you learned at all. So you're saying you went to school not knowing these things? Where did you go to school again?

I say this as a massive KSP fan with ~1000 hours in it (admittedly a lot lower than others). Almost any level of support will be better than SQUAD. 5 guys working part time on it would yield more features/year than SQUAD has managed

Except the monoculture here doesn't account for just how terrible buses and trains are. Mass transit is fundamentally superior and realistically inferior. The second any rational actor has the economic advantage necessary to not ride

I mean, what did you expect? Won't be long until someone upgrades their 16-thread 32GB machine because Facebook was "too slow"? I type this on a dual core phone with 2GB of RAM that's faster than most desktops 15 years a

At humantimescales it's a non-issue. Any terraforming effort capable of generating an atmosphere over ~100 years or so could more than compensate for losses to space. One great idea I heard to make mars more habitable in general is cre

Meanwhile, anti-vax is huge in liberal soccer-mom only-shops-at-whole-foods cities. The left has its fair share of science-denying morons as well.
