Crown and Red Bull (tastes better) is my order if I want to drink and dance.

Blah. It's a regulation problem. Allow powerful trucks to be small again and they will. Perverse incentives are a bitch.

Doesn't really matter. Elon just has a good track record of delivering value for investors, and will move mountains to make it happen.

I'm generally going to avoid betting against Elon.

Fantasizing about saving the universe is a good thing, actually.

Star Trek (TNG onwards) gets this right.

White people doing anything good is actually bad. Duh. /s, but I think I'm accurately describing the viewpoint you're responding to.

Historically, that has been true about rockets.

Have you met hardware guys? This is not how they operate, in my experience.

Sounds incredibly simple to me. One-shot.

You can absolutely avoid glyphosate in your diet. This is obviously some sort of emotional issue for you.

Call it (pun intended) a smell test. I have cited a study that shows biomarkers of gut inflammation strongly correlated with glyphosate exposure. Perhaps you should have read it. I…

Can you attack the methodology or data instead of the author?

Maybe you should see if you adjust to the bran flakes, cut them out if you don't improve, and see if there's a difference? All sorts of things can disrupt gut biomes, and I think a…

I'm not trying to make a complete argument, I'm trying to raise a flag. This issue is not well-studied and has very large corporate sponsors who would like to keep selling Roundup-…

Well, I didn't intend that as a conversation-ender, but it is true. This particular substance inhibits a particular function of certain gut flora that seems important. I think it's…

Here's a decent one: 13% of the UK reports gluten intolerance symptoms, and only 7% of Germany does. The UK allows pre-harvest glyphosate desiccation, Germany doesn't. I would be h…

We know that it's really important to neurological function, which is enough reason to be careful.

The mechanism of action of glyphosate inhibits several important amino acid production processes in the gut. I'm simplifying here, but not having glyphosate in the food supply woul…

The best-reasoned criticism of glyphosate is that it disrupts the gut biome (this is a fact). I suspect that many "gluten allergies" are actually gut biome problems from glyphosate…

That really does put it in perspective. Wow.

Yawn. We're a remarkably peaceful country. We should kill more of our criminals, though.

As an unabashed American, guns are amazing and an insanely important part of our national culture. Any attempt to diminish this is an attack on the culture of America. We are a nat…

Yeah, no. I have shot 3D printed firearms with the head of the FPC, the most active gun lobby organization in the country.
