    You know.

    I don't... Is there a disgusting story specific to the flamethrower?

    Anyway, Elon Musk's enterprises were never not full of stupid ideas. He wanted to pay for his extensive tunnel network just by selling bricks from the displaced soil. Did he expect millions of them to go for hundreds of dollars like limited-edition Supreme-branded ones? Or consider why roads were ever built on the surface if tunnels were so easy and profitable?

    Around this time, he also claimed that he had perfected solar roof tiles while the demo houses actually featured no functional prototypes. The few units delivered were bad at either purpose. This didn't get nearly as much backlash as it should have but hyperloop hype was still strong back then.

    The ship says

    Πάσιν ημίν κατθανείν οφείλεται

    This is Greek for "Death is a debt which every one of us must pay", a quote from Euripides' play Alcestis.

    It is obviously pretending to be a historical artifact but then it proudly says "QUARTZ", indicating there's probably just a cheap modern movement inside.

    The waifu is nice though, I like the thigh clasp.
