    Thrifting is ruined

    Music and movies are getting worse

    Romance is dead

    Authenticity is dying

    Dude no, you’re just depressed. Go outside.

      At first, I thought this would be like Project Orion (“nuke”-powered rockets), as Dyson’s math back in 1968 expected one version to reach Alpha Centauri within 133 years

      Though nanocraft being pushed by lasers sound interesting, braking remains a problem. Still, if they can prove the concept with a much shorter trip somewhere in our solar system, I’ll be anxiously waiting for their next move.

      No way, really? I thought that would take like insanely super long to even get there physically.

        For a human-supporting craft, absolutely. From what I understand, these craft weigh less than a kilogram, so you can accelerate them much faster.

        I remember it being small probes, big earth mounted pushing laser, and not stopping at the destination.

          twitter has always been very confusing with this.

          it’s basically like a forum chain, where each reply is added over the top of the last, except the chain is upside down after the top level comment. so when you quote someone theit post will be below your post, if someone then quotes that post your new text will be placed below the first quote. at the bottom of the tweet. so it stacks new quotes at the bottom with indentation. so the top is always the newest. the bottom is the second newest, then follow the chain up from there.

          it’s a terrible system that is unnecessarily complicated and difficult to read.
