#Hyperloop™

I'm surprised no billionaires have ever tried to build Captain Nemo's Nautilus to live a self-sufficient life at sea. It could never work, but that's the exact kind of mad project that someone like Elon Musk would cook up to waste money if space travel weren't in vogue right now. Nuclear reactors can run for years before needing to refuel, and modern subs can make their own oxygen from seawater, so they can stay submerged for as long as their supplies last (the record is 111 days set by the HMS Warspite in 1982-3). I don't think a sub could stay underwater forever by fishing for all its food, but then again I'm a rational adult with common sense and the ability to recognize the impossible, while a billionaire just wants his neat toy to work no matter what. It's like that Australian guy who wanted to build a replica of the Titanic and a "real" Jurassic Park with lifesize animatronics, and gave up after he realized they would take a lot more time and money than he imagined at first impulse.
Thing is, as funny as it would be to watch someone like Musk try snd fail to build the Nautilus, there's no incentive for him to do it. All his half-baked ideas are designed to fail from the start because the failure is the point; there's always a benefit to his failures. The hyperloop was never really supposed to exist, he only hyped it up so California would cut funding for high speed rail. SpaceX rockets explode more often than they succeed so they're not really gonna take anyone to the moon or Mars anytime soon, this program is just a blank check from the government so the US could hypothetically launch military supplies anywhere on Earth within a couple hours. A real life Nautilus would have to be some scam, a cover for something heinous like a prison camp for the homeless straight out of some 80s sci-fi dystopia movie, or a cartoonish distraction from horrors of war like an underwater drone program or American terrorists privateers attacking fiber optic cables and gas pipelines owned by eastern companies.
The eccentric billionaire is a myth designed to make the worst human being you could possibly imagine look like benevolent innovators who want nothing more than to Propel Humanity Into the 22nd Century Today™!
Tony Stark isn't real. Nobody alive is like him, nobody ever was, nobody ever will be.

I'm finally feeling less dizzy so I've been playing a little bit of Sonic Frontiers and wowowowow
So far my only criticisms are that the world feels kind of empty, pop-in is pretty severe (but not too noticeable if you're focusing on Sonic), and the graphics aren't as good in comparison to some other games I've played on the PS4, but those are very minimal complaints. So far I think this game is one of the best Sonic games that I've played in recent years. The whole boosting + hyperloop move thing is somehow The Most Sonic Thing™ that I think I have ever seen in a game, and the sprawling free roam gives you the freedom to be as fast as you want. I love the skill tree too, that's fun, and the battle mechanics in general are fantastic. I'm really excited to see where it goes.
The only thing it needs is a chao garden.

Kelemahannya Justru Ciptakan Diversifikasi Bisnis
Kelemahannya Justru Ciptakan Diversifikasi Bisnis
Harganya masih mahal dan charger baterei lebih satu jam. Bagaimana “nasib” bengkel dan pomp BBM? Saat kita mudik dari Jakarta ke Yogyakarta, “kereta tabung” butuh waktu hanya 25 menit. Enak too. Mobil listrik Nissan Leaf (gambar  kiri, foto/@: iStock Editorial/Getty Images) di stasiun isi ulang di Yokohama, Jepang. Pengisian tenaga listrik  lebih praktis namun butuh waktu lebih dari satu jam…
