The reason we don’t need hoverboards is for the same reason we don’t need flying cars. Just LOOK at the people crying about flying cars as they drive, occasionally looking up from TikTok to avoid plowing through a KFC, and then ask yourself “Do you REALLY want to give them a third dimension of space to terrorize?”

As usual Paul you make excellent points. Ok, hoverboards only for ME then. 😆

I think NASA nerds are working on Nobody Actually Smokes Anymore.

Meh, as long as they're busy with something. We can't have our geniuses get bored, that's when bad stuff happens.

"What I really want the robots working on are my dishes." I've been saying that for over a year! I don't need someone to write my emails or answer arcane questions about whatever, I need a housecleaner and errand-boy so I've got time for my OWN writiing and research on arcane whatevers!

"Also, what does NASA stand for-" It stands for the National Aeronautics And Space Administration. In other words, it has (or use to have) control over everything to do with outer space and flying machines, and the U.S. government gives the money to keep having that control.

Maybe you should start cultivating your qi and learn to hover via the metaphysical arts instead. Isn’t that how Dr. Strange does it?

Sounds complicated, and I barely had time to shower today 😆

You have delicates?? I haven't used that setting on my washed in at least a decade.

And forget hovering...I'm over here waiting for full on teleporting.

I in fact...do not have delicates. I buy clothes specifically for their ability to not wrinkle, that's my level of clothing laziness.

Teleporting? Pfft, greedy bitch.

I can't blame you for that crush, Kari is awesome!

I'm assuming this was so clever that it flew right over my head 😆

I knew those shady tiny mofos were braggarts about it.

You make a solid point about smartphones. But as someone regularly using healthcare, I'd really like a tricorder still. Wait, how does the GPS work without a signal?
