People usually don’t look at the maintenance costs of owning a car. Gas, insurance, registration, tune ups, repairs. Then compare how much you’ll put into your R&M over the years. It doesn’t even come close to a cars yearly costs :)

My whole family worked for a major car manufacturer. My mother was the first woman tin smith hired there. I grew up loving cars (rural living). But now I’ve lost the love. I think mainly after seeing what they do to amazing cities like SF a

Perhaps fly around in personal size drone ships. Hop between different air ship settlements. I would find that more climatic than the barren Martian surface.

I'm curious if any of the mk1 or mk2 actors/models went on to bigger work in their careers. It would be hard to top revealing to your young adult grandchildern you were Jax in Mortal Kombat.

Good read. Perhaps we need a competing Venus religion? Consider building a floating airship community in the upper atmosphere of Venus. Perhaps we could also control contamination easier being close to edge of space where we could put waste

I agree. Their email client, Thunderbird, is an amazing open source product. They definitely have the background on how to build a top notch standalone client.

Yes, the business context is holding back such amazing innovation for voice assistants like Siri! There are also a couple apps I use, one being brain.fm, which I would love to see integrate with Siri for voice control but I believe they don

Just pay for a top of the line port-a-potty cleaned and purged daily. Will be cheaper and won’t look that bad. I used to hang out at the park daily with my dog. It would work out just fine.

Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson covers this topic well via some insightful sci-fi story telling. I think his concept of a sulfur cannon(s) is more realistic and likely to be implemented in near future.
