Post by: Ben on March 14, 2018, 09:49:36 AM: RIP. As great as his mind was, I give him more props for adjusting to, and living as long as he did, with his physical condition. He was a better man than I (think I would be) in that regard.

I remember that he visited UCSB once when I was there, and I could only grin because he had an entourage of hotties as his escorts. :laugh:

Do you think maybe he didn’t get caught up but actually applied science rather than politics on that whole warming thing?

Obviously not, since the science shows the Earth isn't warming as like the "scientists" claim it is.

It's funny actually. When he first got his synth, only American accents were available. He didn't like that, but by the time they had British voices available, it was his and he didn't want to change.

Yes, I'm more than certain I'm better placed to judge than Stephen Hawking.
