Holy shit did Lord Musk invent hand implants? I remember the Over-The-Arm Manipulators patent but I didn’t think that OTAM technology would go anywhere.

there’s a teapot that I think you’d be quite fond of, orbiting the earth right behind the moon just where we can’t see it

everything works until it doesn’t.

I’ve built data entity versioning/audit systems for web apps. Your comments can be undeleted, unedited, basically restored to any point in their lifetime by anyone with the appropriate access.
