    cyber-lenin so you want to move large amounts of people and cargo around? it will be most efficient to build one large specialized engine that pulls a bunch of cheap, modular passenger and cargo compartments in a long line

    my-hero no they definitely all have to have their own engine

    cyber-lenin very well, i suppose that increases the modularity. we can have vehicles that carry 50 to 100 people, perhaps, and...

    my-hero no, we're talking like 5 people, at most, and they have to be very friendly with each other

    cyber-lenin ugh, fine, so we physically attach them to each other and...

    my-hero no no no! they can't be physically attached!

    cyber-lenin coordinate a virtual tether over wifi by having them drive really close to one another?

    my-hero finally! a technological solution to this problem!

      Feel like pete makes more sense. Sheldon was canonically a train nerd and refused to drive himself.

        Also Sheldon was shunned in his rural texas hometown because the one time he took an objective look at trying to solve political problems he almost immediatly arrived at communism.

        Haven't even watched the show but I feel fairly confident this would be his favorite website.

        The power of our emoji game on this site never fails to impress me. Did not expect to be reading the dialectic of lib Sheldon and robo Lenin but what better parties to have the debate
