Wow, I've never heard of that dude before. What a legend!

Didn't sleep. Didn't even know there was a prize!

What do you think came first, the name or the acronym?

Lewis Hamilton has had an impressive regrowth. He even gets his styled into cornrows and stuff like that, so the new hair is definitely in there firmly if it can withstand that type of thing. I'm curious as to what he had done, transplant or some kind of other treatments.

I actually do have ADHD as well, and this was something that the doctors talked about. They told me that my hearing impairment would make it even more difficult to focus paired with the audio processing issues from ADHD.

That said, even in a quiet setting I have trouble understanding someone if I can't see their face/read their lips.

Yeah, hearing people over background noise is probably the thing that I struggle with the most. It's been a pretty big social hindrance, especially when I was in college. In crowded social areas like bars and restaurants it's very difficult for me to understand what people are saying. As a result, I ended up being the weird guy just sitting there not saying anything all night because I was unable to carry on a conversation. Hearing aids never seemed to help, because they amplified the background noise too.

I'll be interested to see how this pans out. I have significant hearing loss in both ears from infections as a baby, and the doctors always said it was because the hairs in my cochlea are dead. I was denied a few opportunities when I was younger due to my hearing, and I still can't hear most higher frequency sounds (whistles, some cymbals, smoke detectors, fire alarms...etc). It would be nice to be able to hear what everyone else hears and not have to say "what?" so often.

Though, as a bald man, I've learned not to get too hopeful about scientific advancements in regrowing hairs ;)

I remember this from Boy Scouts. We were taught to pick someone, point straight at them and say "YOU, call 911"

600kg is 94.48 stone

I agree with you on the touch screen interfaces, especially considering how long people keep their vehicles nowadays. I have had my Tacoma for 11 years. Had I gotten one with some sort of touchscreen or other display interface, it would seem like utter dog shit now using a touchscreen and computer system from 2008.

That's the first thing I think about when I see new cars with their fancy displays. How will this look and perform in five years? In ten?

There's something like 200,000 Teslas on the road vs. over 250,000,000 "non-autopilot" vehicles. You can't make a straight up comparison with numbers like that without weighting them accordingly.

Though I'm not sure you could compare them really at all in this specific case regarding the autopilot. I'm not sure how many of the traditional vehicle fatalities involve someone flipping on their cruise control and taking their hands off the wheel and ignoring the road in the same manner that the autopilot fatalities seem to have occurred.

Given enough time, the Earth will be incinerated by the sun as it expands into a red giant. Solved the plastic problem!

Though as you said, I'm sure we'll have a few hundred (thousand) landfill planets by then.

Robot tractors and harvesters the size of a house.

Don't go looking too deep into ol' General Electric then.

The scenarios are a bit different, but MH370 dominated the news cycle for what seemed like an eternity...
