Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

This Uber story has been getting some questionable headlining. Like it's grammatcially correct but maybe I'm just broken and can't see or not see commas anymore so it runs on into the humorous version.

"Uber Eats Driver Allegedly Shoots and Kills Customer"

Like the cars come to life and is getting it's revenge by eating the driver and shooting the passenger.

A Dyson sphere would not surround the earth, it would replace it. It is a sphere build around and fully encompassing the Sun. You would live on the inside surface of the sphere. Well actually you wouldn't as such a megaconstruct is not really feasible for any civilization that would actually need to harness 100% of the energy of a star.

Still seems like a short term solution. I mean, the sun is going to burn out eventually and then what? Your stupid sphere is useless. We, as a species, need to find a way to generate endless power from cold, not heat. Why don't scientists just work on that? Idiots.

I've been saying for years that we should find a way to harness this dark energy I keep hearing about. Some kind of dark technology? Just spitballing here, I'll leave it to the eggheads to work out the details.

Well, there is zero-point energy. I mean not really but it's an idea.

Uh, and the sun is gonna be around for really long time. You don't need to plan your poo poo until the heat death, that's overkill.
