In Spanish of course. Hypothetically.

You, sir, would have trouble explaining a toilet to an ass crack.

In other news, Mount Everest is getting smaller due to erosion. Wow.

Wow, that is a really sophomoric analysis. Considering interstellar travel to be infeasible on the basis of duration or distance is a narrow perspective. If we lived much longer, or if our metabolism was much slower, it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

The amount of energy required is the only sensible perspective from which to analyze interstellar travel. If you make things really small, again, it's not much of a problem.

The author also neglects the time dilation. Go fast enough and the time dilation takes care of the duration.

Give my team the resources and I'll put a few billion base pairs of Picard's DNA into orbit around Proxima long before Daenerys is riding a dragon.

The lesson of this documentary, and of the age, should be, "It doesn't matter who says it, without evidence it is meaningless."

Many people cling to the absurd fantasy that those in power are better, smarter, and more knowledgeable than ourselves. This is absolutely false.

Hilary Clinton, for example, co-wrote a fictional thriller whose most interesting revelation was that she, as a former Secretary of State, had absolutely no idea, at a detail level, what composes a "dirty bomb", nor what the purpose of such a device would be (in addition to creating terror, it is "area denial").

The trope of "This guy worked for the military industrial complex and has secret knowledge of UFOs" is so overused in this genre that it has become ridiculous. If the dude has a piece of alien technology <i>in his hand</i> that we can examine in detail, then maybe he has something worth listening to. Otherwise it's just the same monstrous abuse of the gullible as the Jesus lie.

And video is no longer photography. It's data. That "tic tac" is not an image of an alien craft. It's data. With a glitch. It's not visual, and it's not analog. You just don't know how to properly interpret digital data in visual form.

I know you want to believe in something bigger, but until you realize the universe is fundamentally chaotic and there is a reason for absolutely nothing, you're never going to escape the prison of ignorance you have created for yourselves.

Replacing Tim Cook is easy. Find a homeless guy.

No one could enshittify Apple faster than Tim Cook, so any random human would be an improvement.

These visualizers make Ryan Geiss sad.

I really want to be encouraging and I applaud your effort, but Jesus, we had the Geiss plugin for Winamp in 1998. Maybe have a look at that and Milkdrop to see what is possible and up your game a little bit.

Nice work, thank-you.
