I read a book once that had this interesting thought experiment. It imagined a machine that could insert thousands of microscopic electrodes into the surface of your brain. Then it would read the electrical impulses in your neurons and copy that information over to a computer. Then instead of just copying it it would start to run the program that would replace the function of those neurons. You could switch back and forth between the computer program for that layer of neurons and your real brain. If there was no difference, then you could hit another button and it would remove those neurons and sink further down into your brain copying and replacing as it went. The interesting thing is that there would be no break in your consciousness in this thought experiment. I wonder if that would affect how people felt about destructively copying your mind over to a computer

I'd like to see a phone with an included, detachable, earpiece. There are so many times that I want to listen to something but don't have my earbuds with me.

I had a list that I was going to post here, but then I got distracted

And this is news? I thought it was obvious

I watched Terminator with my dad when I was in my early teens. I remember being immensely embarrassed during the sex scene

Oooooo! Movie script!!!

Because then that would be a movie about everybody else just like you and me. And I'm not ashamed to say that our lives really aren't that interesting. But it is much more interesting to read or watch a serial killer who does horrible things that we would never do

Actually, most of the commercial hydrogen available today is produced from fossil fuels. About half of it is produced from natural gas. So unless you're going to get your hydrogen by electrolysis from water, it's probably not going to be worth it
