@DJSnM Seeing this makes me want to drive the 1000km South to stock up. 😞

@jkrajewski @waitbutwhy Scenario: 51% of people push red, the other 49% die. Your choice to guarantee your survival contributed to their demise.
All you had to do was take on risk.
Do you take solace in your feeling of superiority?

[Garret Hunter @__G__Hunter]

@jkrajewski @waitbutwhy The original question is this: does one choose to trust others, or does one choose to participate in manufactured scarcity so that they can guarantee their safety. Your participation in the red option guarantees the demise of some.

[Garret Hunter @__G__Hunter]

@jkrajewski @waitbutwhy That's not the question though; just your sad attempt to deflect. The original question is of morals and willingness to risk oneself to preserve life. The red button is the choice of a selfish coward, guaranteeing ones safety at the expense of others not willing to do the same.

[Garret Hunter @__G__Hunter]

@wstae_of_tmie @jkrajewski @waitbutwhy Pressing the red button increases the likelihood of everyone who didn't do the same dying. It's placing a bet on the cynicism of mankind, to do nothing but save yourself. Pressing the blue button provides no benefit and no loss in and of itself. It's a selfless act.

@jkrajewski @waitbutwhy I would push the blue button as I would rather die than be left in a world with a self serving psycho like you.

@SciGuySpace I feel the headline is pretty disrespectful to everyone working at Blue by just referring to it as "Jeff Bezos"

@DJSnM That image on the screen looks so very Star Trek TNG inspired, love it!

@luke_leisher_ @RotsoRobbie It's also capped at $30,000, but increasing later to $200,000

@DJSnM In the control room shot you can see some interesting footage on a monitor:

@CastanetKam Society is failing when the power of the nanny state has more power than the rule of law.

When did bikes on the road become pedestrians?
Riding on the road and every 2nd car is suddenly stopping at cross walks for me.

Reaching an apogee of ~1400 kilometers during the @PolarisProgram Polaris Dawn mission today, Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis — both @SpaceX engineers — have traveled farther into space than any women in the history of humankind!

They are amazing people. I am so proud of them.

@joebarnard I think you mean filet

@JoelWWood Always keep a voltmeter in your junk drawer 😉
I miss those little tester strips that batteries came with in the 90s

[Garret Hunter @__G__Hunter]

@JoelWWood At the same time without making assumptions, the power of those things is all the reason that people should learn both proper control and etiquette/awareness.

[Garret Hunter @__G__Hunter]

@JoelWWood This is terrible 😞
