If you plan on drinking the water, or cooking with the water, it’s going right back into the air after you pee or sweat and the water evaporates. Literally no damage done.

You cannot make the water actually disappear unless you use it in some kind of chemical reaction, and even then it may end up returning to water eventually.

I mean… whenever a price is dropping, that’s beating the odds, and your scoffing at a 95% price drop? We’ve had our first forays into reusable rockets, preserving booster stages, occasionally fairings. But when we have fully reusable rockets, from competing providers and in different payload size ranges, then it’s a whole different ballgame.

But I guess to your point, we’re probably looking at another 95% price drop over 25 years. (But who knows, maybe just 10-15)

Still, I think that is extremely significant!

Well, that’s not the strongest argument at the moment, the launch is a one time cost, and that cost is in the process of dropping dramatically. But don’t worry, there are a plethora of other reasons this is a bad idea.

Yeah, I mean take advantage of geothermal heating/cooling. It does seem obvious. The only actual advantage to space is the 100% solar availability, but that’s actually not a huge advantage in the grand scheme of things.

So we can do what? De solder the individual ram chips and populate them on custom dimms?

Pass.

It’s too late for all of these rack mounted, AI oriented products, those resources are already spent, they’re gone for us.

It’s like they took the world’s supply of high tech computer components and locked them in a room with a sign over the door that says “douchebags only”. And even if you got into that room, those components are only compatible with douchebag OS, so even if you completely cleared that room of douchebags, you still have to throw all their useless party favors in the dumpster.

Lol, this was literally my exact response

I feel you man.

Jesus fucking Christ, 288GB. And this is why I can’t have 16?

Such a great game!

I don’t believe you actually need any of that. The thing is, nuclear weapons are scary. When it comes to fear, actually capabilities barely figure in. Because what if it gets through anyway? What if the west sells them a super advanced delivery system? What if they try something we didn’t think of?

Better not risk it.

History has proven otherwise.

It turns out, that while everyone says that arms races and escalation lead to conflict… Actually, what we’ve seen is that waiving a big stick is the only true deterrent.

The idea that $5000 will pay for replacing a core component or system is just plain preposterous.

A flash memory chip is a flash memory chip, whether it’s part of a USB stick or soldered to a custom board. You don’t need to replace the custom board, you need to solder on a new memory chip that contains the instructions you want it to.

Well my custom browser says my age is verified, we’re all set here here. All set. Move along.

What would be the point of that? If the check was done locally it would be trivial to spoof.

Technically, this can’t work. It’s a bad idea.

My definition of change?

Yeah, that makes sense.

Also, the Internet is like a living thing, it changes constantly, that’s its nature. Essentially every day is the end of the Internet as we know it, it’s always something else the next day.

So you’re saying which empires/systems exactly then?

Spain perhaps? The Holy Roman empire?

I mean, there’s Russia.

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t really want to call them competent, but their planes are modern. And for Christ sake, we should be squaring off with them in Ukraine.

Yeah… Fighter jets don’t really get bricked.

A brick is when you’ve messed something up to the point where the hardware doesn’t boot and the only possible solution would be to pull out a rom chip and replace it with one with factory settings, but that’s too hard and not worth doing.

But that’s the thing, with the F-35, it’ll never be not worth doing. It could be a $5000 setback… But whatever.

I’m with you on dogs.

But i’d never trust a cat… They know why.

It’s true, at some point it becomes a necessity. I don’t know what to do about teens today, I haven’t gotten there yet.
