Clearly illustrates the role of politics and economy. If you want to change things, you should make sure laws and regulations facilitate it.
Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s who. I could write just about anything here, and it wouldn’t make a difference. As a matter of fact, I’m kinda curious to find out how much text can you dump in here. If you’re like really verbose, you could go on and on about any pointless…[no more than this]

So, is this based on the model where infinite coffee make you immortal?
And that’s why you always ask for a full glass instead.
Was it Randall or someone else who mentioned in a speech that infinite patience could be a superpower? Like, when you arrive at the store just when it closes, you would just stand there outside the locked door until it opens again. Anyway, this comic connects beautifully with that idea.
15 billion? I thought industrial projects usually cost about 1-5 billion. Is it really that much bigger than other big projects?
Is this a thing now? You’re trying to turn it into a thing, right?
Haven’t I read this comment somewhere before…
Here’s an idea. Once you’ve already split the water molecules with electrolysis, you should throw those streams into separate mass spectrometers, but without the detector obviously. The idea is, that with ions flying in a magnetic field, their mass would determine where they land. Anything that isn’t the right kind of isotope, let alone right kind of atom, would be separated into the waste stream.
There’s also a huge 0-wheels market. Just think how cool wheel-free skates and boards are.
It’s called research. You search for something, can’t find it, so you try again; hence the prefix.
Either way, NASA is already exploiting it. I guess, next they’ll find a way to glitch through the very fabric of the universe to teleport to a distant galaxy without moving at all or even using any energy.
They said that people would start dying like flies in no time. Why do I care? You see, currently houses and cars are so expensive, because there are many people who also want to buy those things. If the population was cut to a fraction, as was promised, the prices would crash accordingly due to massive oversupply of everything. I’m still waiting for the day when I can buy a house with 1000 €.
Aah, the classic Soon™. The gaming industry has taught you well.
We were all supposed to die by late 2020. What’s taking so long?
I think we could send robot farmers there to grow some food for the people living in orbit. Maybe low-G carrots could be nicer than the ones grown on earth.
Humans are very picky. Must have certain amount of gravity, need to see green stuff, can’t handle radiation etc. it’s is as if they were built to be on a specific planet and nowhere else.
If all else fails, use “significant at a p>0.05 level” and hope no one notices.

Business as usual, just another day at the lab. People using actual real world samples instead of the expensive standards to produce a very messy calibration squiggle. Also, the machine probably requires some maintenance from time to time.
Then there’s also the flat-earther style: “We applied a flawed model and flawed methodology to standard circumstances and got the results we wanted!”
I guess we need a new comic to address all the different kinds of pseudo-science.
I’ve sometimes thought about that. Maybe in an alternate reality there’s a someone with my face who isn’t held back by any sort of morality whatsoever. Once you open that door, you can totally start spreading the stupidest ideas you can think of, and you’ll find someone who believes it and becomes your devout follower. I have a feeling that Scientology came about as a result of this sort of thinking.
