  • Its so hard to say. So much depends on what is possible interstellar travel wise. If light speed is the limit it would likely be with probes and its kinda unlikely that if they could send things out that far and communicate back that they would need many elemental resources and they would have energy needs solved. Honestly I think its very unlikely we would meet any unless we travel outward. Like I think its more likely their probes would meet our probes and maybe we could get somewhat of an idea of where we came from and where we are going but it would take years to have communications. If there is something faster then its essentially magic by our standards and that just makes things more up in the air.






  • Yeah obviously a disease is caught from somewhere and they thing it has been transmitted human to human but seems to require close contact like family in the same cabin. This is all from the articles. In animals it required fluid contact and given what they see I think the assumption that would be needed I don’t think is a crazy assumption. This means any risk of contagion just requires simple isolation and you don’t have to have 10 foot rules and n95’s and such. Maybe a mask or shield to keep from inhaling cough spittle and gloves along with good hygene. Its doubtful such a thing could get out of control unless it was very mild and lack symptoms for awhile which does not appear to be the case.





  • yeah I don’t want the QR to actually pay but more like just a billing destination or payment destination. The way I look at it is they scan it and then it will give my name and address (something they would need to send an invoice so the information is not exactly confidential for a purchase) which they could ask for my id to verify im not like trying to use someone elses. Basically I want a system much closer to the old fashion send you a bill in the mail and you then pay it but with my banks bill pay as the central portal. Many places now don’t want to send phsical statements in the mail but also don’t want to send pdfs of statements by email so being able to get all your bills pdf in one place would at least be not so bad. The idea of logging in every month to every vendors portal is just annoying. I always compare it to companies back in the day rather than sending the statemnent each month would send postcard saying. hey come to the office and pick up a statement.



  • I don’t use a lot of cash but that has been the case since I have been eligible for credit cards. I pretty much do not like any other kind of payment except check or cash. To much stuff wants to pull money and that I absolutely do not like. Bill me and I will push the money to you. Actually the basic billpay system at my bank is my second favorite way to pay things. Maybe actually first. Detest things like zelle which just feels like a scam to me. I absolutely wish the bank bill pay system was more advanced. Like I could have a qr code and say bill me here and they could have one to say set us up as a place to pay for with this qr code. When they use it they send a bill and I acknowledge them as a vendor and they go into my space. Then I can download the bills or statements from the bilpay in my bank and authorize payment. It basically works kinda like this but only some things integrate with it. In addition for some reason if you integrate something with it some will basically want to take your portal access directly to the vendor away which I don’t get at all. In the end cash for me is a fallback that I don’t want to go away and that im always prepared to use.
