Can spacetime be ripped or torn?
That would probably be analogous to false vacuum decay; don’t try to make it happen
Well, hockey season is starting up again soon, so there’s that
It can store enough energy to output 85MW for 100 hours, which is 8.5GWh. That’s also probably very optimistic math, unless it actually stores more than 8.5GWh, and that’s the reduced value accounting for losses
an unusual finale for space flight
I mean at the time, it was the typical finale for a manned space flight
A second person would help a lot, but not be entirely necessary. They are designed to be swappable
The fridge door one is perfectly realistic, those are designed to be swappable.
The best book is either Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks, or Fine Structure by Sam Hughes.
Oh, you meant programming books. Maybe still try Sam Hughes, it’ll probably be more blog post than book, though

I bet they fizzle. By weight, tritium is one of the most expensive substances on the planet; do you think the people in charge of refilling the nukes have actually been doing so, or just stealing the money?

Want to download an application? There’s the App Store. No need to download random .exes from sketchy websites (and learn what a “computer virus” is the hard way)
We’ve had that for years, it used to just be called apt-get. Though I’ll admit a GUI software center is nice when I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for
Only way would be shenanigans with copy-on-write and deduplication; when it’s done seeding, copy it elsewhere on the same filesystem (which will use no space and be instant, because it’s just making a pointer to the original). Then make your modifications to the new version
And the rest of us should ABSOLUTELY make a habit of blasting out screenshots of ads next to heinous shit, and ask the company why they support that kind of content.

Durch Audi is a much worse slogan than Das Auto
That’s literally what a chromecast is.
Which is why they are asking if there is an open source alternative, now that Google getting rid of the Chromecast
Not nowadays with the DRM they use. Back in the actual-film days it was doable, and called a telecine
Which works fine as long as you don’t mind keeping your worst employees, while all your best ones quit, which is generally the opposite of how it works during layoffs
