I find this rather hard to believe. Particularly in the south of Spain by 1:00 p.m it's unbearably hot, everyone wants to get everything done in the morning so they don't have to be trying to do it during the height of the days heat.

James bond movies have always predicted the future to a certain extent. In car GPS, Self-Driving vehicles, really sharp hats, the media's abuse of power for political gain, obnoxious tech Bros building mansions in stupid places.

Isn't he some semi-famous tech YouTuber? I would be surprised if he actually had bought this product.

There was a girl at university that had a water bed and when I was in it I could not get out of it, you just sort of flop around in the middle. Also you have to faff around with special insurance, and get special sheets.

Not worth it.

It might be just the power button I can't see a power button anywhere else on it and presumably you can turn these things off.

And when you paused something it used to start moving more.

You can't bring a lawsuit for something you think might happen.

They've got news in the title. They wouldn't lie.

Wikipedia is weird. In an article that lists the largest protests that have occurred in the United States, they still feel the need to tell you that each one of these protests, that are on a list of protests that occurred in the United States, in fact occurred in the United States.

I thought they did invent a steam engine at some point. I'm sure I read that somewhere.

The thing is they were never going to invent the steam engine because they didn't have the technology to produce steel to the quality and strength that would be needed to build rails. And for that matter they didn't really have the metallurgy necessary to construct reliable boilers either.

I still like the fact that the guy that invented super glue was very annoyed by how sticky it was.

I mean it's kind of bizarre that he couldn't think of a practical application. We literally use invisible waves to communicate already, these ones move at light speed, how could that not be useful?
