"On a virtual scale, the functional device is enormous — enough so that anyone in the real world would become a red blot of meat and bone staining the road if they fell from the very top.

Yet type your problem out on the keypad, and the answer appears on a large white display mounted on the side of the monstrous brick structure. No spaceship can do that… can it?"

The article falls into the stereotype of "internet person with too much time on their hands". But MaxSGB obviously learned a lot by putting it together, and it is in bad taste to call any time spent learning "wasted".
