@goatsarah @luke Weird that France is so bad and Italy so good.

@goatsarah This sort of thing is why boats are described as holes in the water that you throw money into.

@goatsarah Someone had to represent the Nazis, and the German government didn't want to.

@BethanyBlack but you're lovely and funny and one of the best things about this hell that is social media.

Why would anyone *want* to be mean to you?

@goatsarah Not at the moment, because apparently the flammable tape that holds the parachutes in doesn't burn.

@goatsarah Honestly, I'd do Boeing Starliner: not made by Boeing (it's McDonell Douglas), doesn't go to the stars, and not a liner.

@goatsarah Also, King Cobras aren't royal. I was wondering if Chicago pizza wasn't from Chicago, but it turns out that it is.

@goatsarah They aren't what they are called. Chicago pizza isn't a pizza, SpaceX Starship doesn't go to the stars, a King Cobra isn't a cobra, and the Holy Roman Empire was not holy, not roman and not an empire.

@goatsarah @cstross @SecurityWriter
Going to ask a stupid question: could you just stick a giant balloon full of hydrogen on top of a ship?

@goatsarah @cstross @danjac If you can fix some political issues (you have to go through either Russia or Iran), you could roughly halve the need for large container ships by building a high-capacity highly-automated electric freight line across Eurasia.

The back of my envelope says that five tracks in each direction between China (and the rest of East/SE Asia) and Europe would replace the entire container shipping traffic between the two, which is approx half of the world's container shipping.

@goatsarah The title and a link to the post with the rest of the message.

@goatsarah @ajlanes As long as it's not in the brain, then it's a neurotransmitter.

@goatsarah thank all the deities.

@goatsarah I was thinking of your mother in law

@goatsarah well, the member of your family who is a complete wanker, I'm assuming you don't let anywhere near your server.

@goatsarah unless the wankers are in your family!

@goatsarah Oh yes. That works.

@goatsarah After all, he's the richest man in the world. Of course he can still control them.

@goatsarah

He understands that the morning will come when the world is his and tomorrow belongs to him. As long as he can find a front man.

@goatsarah I missed that story!
