Rodriguez doesn't sound very American™ so maybe he should go. Perhaps they should mess with him and tell him he's been deported and see what he does.

Is red wine still good for you. I'm sure that was a thing at one point.

Got it. Sugar cube sandwich it is.

Why? Who's asking for this stuff, is there somebody out there who is really pleased with this news or is Microsoft really just that out of touch.

I don't want to have to start wearing rainbow knee-length socks, but Microsoft are pushing me towards it.

Are you trying to suggest that I would be better to just deny the cookies? I don't know what you're trying to say by linking to that article.

Device fingerprinting as a technique it's pretty easy to defeat. There are plenty of privacy focused browsers that will also include device fingerprinting protection. In fact pretty much any browser that doesn't store cookies will also do this device fingerprinting protection as well.

Wow he really thinks a lot of himself doesn't he?

And since they cut food stamps we should make a reference to that.

We could call it the Hungry Games or something. I don't know, maybe we can workshop the idea

Really efficient sentencing. Kind of like that scene in Andor.

Guilty, next case.

You could just build it as two hemispheres and then have a slit in the middle align to the orbital plane. You could have a few corridors every now and then as they wouldn't really block out much light.

Although that wouldn't really be a problem since in order to get enough material to actually build it you would need to dismantle most of the planets in the system including Earth. Which does rather present a difficulty and I suspect would be a major political blocker.

O'Neill cylinders are the only real reliable megastructure that would actually function.

Though it would need to be way bigger than the ship depicted in The Expanse or the gyroscopic forces would be too strong for anybody to be able to operate.

It doesn't even look like anything, it's just a random rectangles.

I'm just going to run my car until it no longer functions because I can't be doing with all of these crappy infotainment systems. My car has a non-functional radio and that's it, it's so old it has headlights that don't even blind people, and buttons to control the AC.
