  1. It will try to decrease the people abilities to scare them. Any leader is just a representative of a crowd of people. A frontman. Even if he can remove anyone from that crowd. And the crowd is not from next door.
  2. You won't see if the truck on the road are crewed, uncrewed, or even virtual. The biological drivers will be replaced together with trucks, because it's enough one robo-truck instead of former ten to deliver the packs of standard food paste to the human feeding storehouse. But for greater optimism, a score trucks more will be simulated, so you will be sure, that their amount has doubled. TV, webcams, other remote control devices will show you a generated picture, the roads will be unavailable for a pedestrian walk, or even hidden, to make the infrastructure more eco-friendly. So, being outdoors, and looking from far away at a road, full of trucks, with bare eyes, you even won't know, which 5% of them are real, and which 95% are moving holograms. The fairy tales of old farts, that previously there was a hundred kinds of food and drinks in the shop, instead of bottles with "Drink #4 ("Milk"-like)" and "Balanced Food Ration #5b", will be sounding for the young people as weird as radioactive toys and creams from early XX century. Believe me, I know. The details of the early XX reality for the Soviet people were sounding as weird, as the Soviet reality details are sounding for zoomers. And the recipes of cheap food substitutes are well-known and widely used since XIX. Just the modern change will be much weirder, and take much less time. Together with the mass cut of needs, it also will need much smaller industry to automate it. That's why you don't have to wash your appartments daily with a toothbrush. There is no housekeeping robot to make you do this. When it comes, the Smart Home will remind you. "Good morning, Mr. StrandedonEarth. It's 06:30 am now. Please, don't forget that your house cleaning should be finished till 07:45, before the Daily Virtual Hygiene Inspection starts." ... "It's already 07:52 now, and you still haven't washed the wall in the bathroom. Your Social Rating receives two penalty points. If you have not finished on the 08:00 Daily Hygiene Virtual Inspection, I will have to inform the Social Health Centre about your possible social ability problems, to let them help you." ... "It's 07:58, and you have almost finished. Please, check that toothpaste spot at the right side of the mirror. I can see it via your augmented reality goggles, and am highlighting it red." ... "It's 07:59, and the cleaning is over. Well done. One penalty point is annulled, so you receive four instead of five. As the calorie content of your daily food ration is matching the physically substantiated value, it won't be decreased. But the weekly limit of your TV watching is decreased by four minutes."
  3. That exact case when the excuses make things even worse. So, once the USAF had gotten a civilian, non-weaponized AI, the first thing they did is training it to kill people.
  4. I, too. The computer was lagging due to slow connection. Like a web page, which is being loaded part-by-part. Imagine, how old is the Pioneer web server...
  5. Both are derived from Gothic, together with the Hebrew one. The key question is, when they derived the Phoenician from Greek.
  6. Believing in sky flywheels, belts, and other mechanics is cheating, Sky is liquid.
  7. John Carter is banned on Mars for antisocial behaviour.
  8. When you are still thinking without AI neuroimplant assistance, like a primitive monkey.
  9. The face looks strangely familiar... Can't recall.
  10. A hardS daredevil mode: hanging a hand grenade by the ring as a zero-g indicator. A non-chicken cowboy mode: Colt .45 by the trigger.
  11. The cradle of horse riding. *** Upd. The source of the modern Finnish self-confidence has gotten clear now. Instead of the former cat-girls they have a new kind of weapon, the invincible Horse-Girl Cavalry. It's like Girls und Panzer, but better.
  12. Indeed. Not less than 10 kg in total. And it's just for the first twenty years of ISS flying. ~50 Soyuz flights. ~100 g heavy toy (the "zero-g indicator", hanging above the midshipman man in the middle, so in case of ejection 0.1 * 20 = 2 kg) 50 * 0.1 = 5 kg, rounding = 10 kg. Alot of cargo, yes, very heavy.
  13. Everything is cheating. *) Everything is a gerund for "to everyth".
  14. Banned for advocating the Mars.
  15. The only purpose of Starship is to finally make a real big rocket after the never-existing Saturn lunar fake. The way they are doing this, just illustrates that actually they have no idea how to make big lunar rockets.
  16. Floor 3412: A big boiler from that series.
  17. It wasn't damaged. Just the Pioneer 10 is far away, so the connection is slow, and FPS low.
