I was just making an abstract sci-fi joke based on how cold fusion has been presented like a Holy Grail in the past. Obviously a better source of energy isn’t going to solve all our problems, no matter how good it is.

Maybe if it runs longer, we all get to jump to a better timeline. 😅

Yeah, it’s probably those conflicts of interest I had in mind.

I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

All I’m saying is that you should say what you mean then (as you did in this reply), and not what can very easily be used against you.

“Death to [geographical place]” shouldn’t be said by anyone. However it’s meant, it’s way too easy for people to take literally, and it provides cover for the few that actually do mean literal harm. Maybe you mean “down with Israel,” but even that can be taken the wrong way. (Much like saying “down with [monarch]” would historically be understood to mean that monarch should die as opposed to stepping down.)

I thought the tech for imitating voices was already essentially available. There are cases of fraud that have been based on this.

Presumably smelling it is fine at a bit more of a distance. The issue is the same as if you were to put Vaseline near your nostrils. Particles of the petroleum jelly base can get inhaled into the lungs if it’s too close.

Amazing how relatable this is and yet loads of us can still feel chronically isolated or without purpose in life. Do you have some idea what elusive condition might allow you to experience life as a gift? If not, I hope you find it.

I also hope to see you posting again. This may be a tangent, but I like your way with words! There’s an understated grace in how you wrote this post. If writing isn’t of interest to you that’s cool. I just couldn’t help pointing it out.

Sooo… not that?

Even better, being a sugar found in milk.

But did they name their cat that because it eats them or because it wears them? 😭

Kinda curious if the cat liked the sprinkles now…

I’m sure they can use all the help they can get!

We already have too many narcissistic leaders everywhere because they can be superficially charming and build up loads of useful connections. It makes sense to have a cut-off for who gets funding at all, but they should all get the same amount of exposure.

Or he Xed it out.

He’s already threatened the EU will be tariffed too.
