lol they literally just stuck a tesla logo at the start of an old video

game recognise game but publicly I reckon elon would call all this stuff unrealistic fantasy bs without a hint of :ironicat:

also dahir insaat puts like 200x more thought into how their stuff could theoretically work

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Maybe he can set up a hyperloop to screen passengers as they return to the country. Reduce the air resistance so the test results can come back faster.

Because it appears that it isn't the Chinese Govt doing this poo poo to show Trump who's boss and also clown on perennially hated local governments and reap some good will, it might be a genuine threat, spread and mortality numbers might actually be such in China because they have done something about it, and western govts, especially the US one haven't done poo poo to prepare, contain or mitigate it.

I mean it's not great now but I was more saying this and every other conservative dipshit saying it's NBD or a big hoax is going to look extremely bad in a month or so. Every even slightly reliable source I've heard has said this is just the beginning and it's going to be very bad.

The dumbest thing about the US right now is that this thing is like FOXDIE for unhealthy Boomers....and they're the exact demographic being saturated with Trump and conservative media trying to downplay it for PR/Stonks reasons. Which is going to cause a fun dynamic where the mortality rate is being taken overly-serious by healthy people under 60 who, while they should be doing what the can to mitigate the spread to oldsters and people with underlying conditions, aren't truly at risk of dying. While the exact people who ARE at risk of dying are running around thinking flaunting recommended social distancing and hygiene is now a way to Own The Libs.

Oh. Gotcha, yeah I agree. The deaths right now aren't anything to get excited about, governments are worried because, unless stopped (it won't be) it's going to get pretty nasty.

I mean I would prefer people (besides Kissinger) not die and I will personally eat some social distancing measures to ensure it......buuuut it's kind of hard to feel super bad when a person, their favorite TV show, their entire online world, and their chosen president are all doing everything they can to make sure they get killed by a virus. It's like.....I did my part, duders.

kissinger will not die until every cambodian has been wiped out. realistically, that means he'll last for as long as humanity does so it was a pretty clever satanic pact.

That all being said, he's a selfish prick and if he was focused on building for the future generations instead of selfishly wanting to die on Mars, he might be able to do the latter without being engulfed in a fireball at the same time.

i mean its basically a clean-sheet design with the same general goals as the shuttle. we'll see how much of it is "falcon 9" and how much of it is "hyperloop"
