No, I meant literally out of thin air. There's plenty of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nirtogen in the air to make most pharmaceuticals A post scarcity economy has to start somewhere

I don't mean to single them out, that's just the industry where it comes up these days. I work in a pharmacy, but if there was some magical appliance that could just conjure whatever pills you need out of thin air for free I'd be in favor of that too. Moreso in fact. But I fear I may be an...

Has anyone talked yet about the idea of the movie Event Horizon being a prequel to Warhammer 40000

Which ones have you seen? Because I'd agree that a lot of his movies are overhyped but I think The Shining solidly lives up to its reputation

They've got activities there. "let's hover over to the driving range and hit a few virtual balls into space" And to me the conversation that follows trying to decide on an alternative could easily imply too many things to choose from to do

The final episode of the original run of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "The Greatest Story Ever Told", was perfect. It found a way to get all the show's recurring characters together without sacrificing the tone of the show

I apologise for that, I did not mean a deliberate equivocation, I meant a fallacious/accidental equivocation. That was the closest term I could think of at the time. In retrospect 'false equivalence' or 'comparing apples to oranges' would have been a more accurate and less accusatory term. The...
