The vacuum problems kill the Hyperloop design just like they kill any major mass launcher ideas from Earth. On the Moon both will work great.

Mass rail transit itself is something that ought to be more wide spread. Just not like that.

I hate dreams like that. Usually school related, and I'm many decades past any of that trauma, yet it takes a few seconds after waking to get over the anxiety.

The world's first panorama. Da Vinci was just setting up a scene like in That 70's Show, but people didn't get it so he redid the bottom as a full table.

I actually expected some sort of complaint about socialists taking over the country and trying to spread wealth around. His reasoning was far more bizarre. His snowflakes message is right on point though, total projection of his own weak reaction to the objections. I'd still think he's odd, but would have a sliver of respect if he admitted that he made a mistake in doing the post. And involving his children... what a role model he is. :/

In addition to what's been mentioned, he has certain protections as long as he's President.

I still sit on much older stuff because of that reason. Tried years ago to use local sources like Craigslist, but no one is looking for older, they want new. Short of finding an older system for repurposing, there's no market for it.

Underemployment has always been an ignored statistic. The media and government report a single number as some sort of status of the economy, when it's so much more complex than one data point.

I think there's some that go through that dwindling urge to keep going. But there are also the ones that you describe, the "oh, new shiny thing".

Both amazing, and it sucks that so many people in history bring about incredible ideas and creations and end up getting nothing for it in the end. At least Phillips got his name stuck to it, I suppose. My wife still insists on asking for the star screwdriver, and I correct her every time. "It's Phillips!" You know what they say, you never truly die until people stop remembering you. Live on.

Also, while I understand its history being a simple to make design, the slot can die as far as I care. I HATE it, and whenever I find it in older places doing repairs I swear up and down. The worse is the slot that is a very shallow cut. Like, how am I supposed to put any torque on this without it slipping????

Everyone always mentions Zombie, and it's a great song, but Linger was my first Cranberries song and has always been my favorite. Maybe because it's more mellow and melancholy. RIP Dolores, one of the greats.

It's easy to blame the immediate source, the voters. Let's not stop there but dig into the system that was developed decades ago to create such a voting pool. That was the core mission of the Southern Strategy. It's like blaming a misbehaving kid alone, and ignoring their terrible parents who home schooled and spoon-fed them everything they know. GIGO

The President we needed.
