"oldest discovered in Scotland" but weren't tartans invented in Ireland?

It doesn't matter because the robots will probably kill us all before the government gets around to that.

Reply to A 2-year-old boy was lost in the Florida woods for 24 hours. Everyone feared the worst. Hundreds of volunteers came out to look for him. One volunteer came to a fork in a field: right or left? He trusted his gut, went left and soon heard a whimper. It was the little boy, crying but in good health. by ConquerWyoming
If one volunteer reached a forked path by himself it was a very poorly organized search.

In 2016 I learned about automated trucks that are ready and just waiting on government approval to get on the road. I predicted from that point we only had 50 years till all jobs are replaced by robots. Things are advancing faster than I expected.

Granite would crack too easily if you dropped the bar.

Remember most the real money comes from merchandising rights. They don't even have to make anything they just get paid by people who want to use their logo/name.

IR Baboon, MacGyver, The Guyver. I wanted to find a name that I would never have to change or add numbers to in order to create an account. It's worked so far and no one's stolen it. Been using it since 1998 and the AOLIM days.

Ever since I first saw the live action movie on scifi channel and then found out about the anime in the 90s. People often think I spelled my name wrong but they just don't get the three references embedded in it.

They probably qualify but I don't know how you'd look it up. I know Tom Brady got one somehow. But remember each team is a separate company and probably has less than 200 employees. Hell maybe less than that, aren't some players contractors not actual employees?

I worked at a stadium. I worked for a contractor and was not directly employed by the team. In fact only a few of the teams even own their own stadium. They just lease them most of the time. Even then the ones that are owned "by the team" are mostly owned by the owner of the team and held as separate business entities from the team itself so even those aren't owned by the team.

The NFL doesn't employ players. The NFL has around 100 employees and is listed as a small business.

Except it can't be ever. There just isn't an efficient way to make and store hydrogen that can't be done better by regular batteries. The making of hydrogen will always produce more carbon emissions than battery technologies.

That's what I said it's not zero carbon so the OP shouldn't have said it could be.

I'm not incorrect. It says zero carbon. You're trying to ignore that and misdirect the conversation.
In the future the robots will kill us all before we have a chance to switch over to a truly zero carbon power source. Because even making solar panels and wind turbines produces carbon emissions.

I've been saying for a while that we need to build more cisterns. The Greeks, Romans, Indians, etc all knew about how important cisterns were millenia ago. Why can't we build more now? Oh right probably because homeless people make camps in them and drown when it rains.

And it can't be. Hydrogen is produced by breaking down hydrocarbons. Getting hydrogen from seawater is a fantasy that's not practical in the real world due to the insanely high energy cost. Of course on top of that the energy used to break down sea water is 70% coal powered.

If you think hydrogen is zero carbon then you don't understand how hydrogen is made.
