Moved.

@rallywrench With absolutely no mention of what happens when they get to they ground.

[ranwhenparked]

@rallywrench Yeah, I want no part of that. Could someone maybe consider making, like, an Amish-style commune where technology is permanently frozen in about August, 2001, instead of 1850?

[CarsOfFortLangley]

@ranwhenparked Isn't that just Philly?

[ForSweden]

Illinois and making the world a worse place.

Name a more iconic duo

[ranwhenparked]

@carsoffortlangley More Shamokin or Ebensburg, I'd say. Not Braddock, though, they're already living in the distant future. A post apocalyptic, dystopian future, but they're there anyway.

@carsoffortlangley Yo, shots fired! At least we don't have clear skies and gorgeous lake and mountain views out near Muncho Lake on the Alcan highway!

...wait, that came out wrong....

[Mark Tucker]

@rallywrench The Diamond Age is upon us...

[CarsOfFortLangley]

@misterbuttercup Looks pretty! Long ass drive from Vancouver... it's nearly the same time to drive to Muncho Lake as it is to Mexico from where I sit. BC is fuckin YUGE.

[MisterButtercup]

@carsoffortlangley Yeah it's gorgeous up there, and I didn't think of it but it did take a few days to drive up that far.

[CarsOfFortLangley]

@misterbuttercup Someone recently asked me if I wanted to take a "few days" and drive to the Yukon and back....

Like.... only if you want to spend the whole time driving

[MisterButtercup]

@carsoffortlangley LOL

[Shop-Teacher]

@rallywrench Ewww.

@rallywrench this reminds me of the plot of Twister.

Also outside of limited usage in environmental analysis this is a terrible idea.

[DipodomysDeserti]

@rallywrench I’m sure that won’t pose any problems after you inhale a few.

[CobraJoe]

@rallywrench A single use technology with limited functionality?

Yeah, I don't think this is going to be very popular.

[RacinBob]

Where's the USB Port?
