Just learned what a Tesla cybertruck looks like. It’s comical. I think Elon must have presented the designers with a crayon drawing he made when he was 6 years old, and said ‘this, but in silver’.

It's literally The Homer from a 35 year old Simpsons episode
Seeing that episode when it aired, as compared to seeing it now, with two kids in the car....hits different. It's genius.
Silicon-based lifeforms are fun to think about, but if we find extraterrestrial life I guarantee it'll be carbon-based. The bonds between silicon are so weak, so easily broken, while carbon is insanely stable. It's bonds are strong in comparison.
Though, with how fast the Universe, spacetime, is expanding, it is likely we will only find other life within our solar system. Or we make a generation starship. But if we did that, then I imagine tech would progress to the point that by the time the first generation starship arrives at it's destination, newer ships will have already arrived.

I finished playing Suzerain for the second time last night. Such a good game. But it takes about 15 hours a playthrough and has a very deep story, so every time I finish it I'm left feeling a little empty. Its weird.
I didn't think that I could actually enjoy a mostly text based game as much as I did. It kind of feels like a board game with a soundtrack (which they absolutely nailed imo)
