If you buy the company then you're the inventor, just ask Elon musk he invented the electric car and space

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Did I say "cookies?" I meant, "Fire in your face!"

I'm not trying be Mr. Super Edgy Man, but I think the most horrific part of that video was at ~1:50, where he's screwing those really long screws in, by hand, with a flat headed screwdriver, and seeing he has half a dozen to do. Like, man, don't...don't torture yourself like that. Whatever you've done, you don't deserve that punishment. Use Phillips head, or use a power driver. But not a flat head screwdriver!

I mean, also don't kill yourself, but especially don't torture yourself first.

Where do you get that he doesn't deserve the torturous process? For all you know he could be Hitler crossed with Stalin and raised with horrible brain steroids like Christopher Walken on that Bond film.

I like the bit where musk would have to squeeze inside the machine to provide the intelligence because if we wait for it we could lock him inside and leave him there.

Rapidly coming to the conclusion if you're not using torx headed wood screws and machine screws and using a electric screwdriver you secretly want to get carpal tunnel and arthiritis later in life due to RSI.

Weed, torx and a brushless drill driver with proper electronic control is the only way I can get work done now I've destroyed my hands with decades of IT. It also feels amazing to just mash trigger and the drill stops perfectly on the money every time.

The belt fed screw gun is blessed when it works, cursed when it doesn't (when I'm holding a sheet of gyproc to the ceiling).

Slot headed brass screws and stainless pozidrive are the most cursed of the regular screw varieties.

Oh it looks badass, definitely worth a couple of grand to hang in a corporate lobby or something, but it's stretching the definition of the verb 'painting' IMO. At this point you might as well have a computer draw it for you.
