  • That reminds me of the game Tactical Breach Wizards. The healer character’s signature ability is to instantly restore someone to their recent prior physical state, but the catch is that it only works on the recently deceased. So, if you tell her to heal a teammate who’s still alive, she pulls out her large mundane handgun and shoots them dead so she can heal them back up. It never stops feeling uncomfortable having her do that. Great game.





  • Yes, the land was bought with donations in an effort to protect it. What? No, at no point did they sell the land, not sure were you got that idea. The trespassers (SpaceX) vacated (took all their shit and left) the plot. It was then restored, as much as possible, to its previous state. They had hoped to get enough money to refund everyone who donated and keep the land, but their lawyers advised that the settlement offer of stopping trespassing and restoring the land was already as good as they were going to get in court. Sadly “restored” is the closest they could do to protecting it, at a high legal expense to themselves.


  • The land was bulldozed, turned into a gravel lot and used as a construction depot. CAH sued, and just before trial SpaceX offered them a settlement which they accepted. The exact details were confidential, but the land was finally vacated by the trespassers, and a local landscaping company removed the literal tons of gravel that had been compacted into the soil and restored it to a natural looking state.

    Since they settled out of court, the case was dropped and the court didn’t say anything.

    Hair clippers that attach to a vacuum hose. The vacuum pulls the hair against the clippers at the length set by the inlet tube and then disposes of the offcut. It’s a very efficient way to give yourself a consistent haircut. It’s not consistently good, but… yeah. It was never hugely popular in the US, but they did advertise a lot back in the 90s.










  • Well, that’s A solution to that particular paradox. If those are someone’s beliefs, well they’d be a hypocrite if they didn’t have sex with their bros. Or, I guess wives being “impure” after marriage would technically also work. Somehow I doubt they would like that one either. Oh right! Can’t forget that the Ben Franklin strategy also solves this paradox.

    I’m still just going to stick with my prefered solution of not judging people based on arbitrary sexual standards. Bam, no paradox! It’s a strategy I recommend for everyone.
