Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
don’t lick the platters
No joke, as a teenager I temporarily considered using one as a pizza cutter but ultimately decided to use a pair of scissors just because I didn’t want the shiny platter to be greasy.
I really want a thin metal disc to spin now… Maybe see if I can get it to spin with my arduino…
Smort.
I would absolutely be consulting a lawyer before actually putting that out, just to, at the very least, have someone who’s a little familiar with the situation beforehand. That way if I DO get arrested, I already know a lawyer who’s looked into this and already had some things ready to go.
Oh man…
1: RIP to Trevor.
B, I remember every time this would make the rounds, so many people would get super pissed about it and go on huge multi-paragraph rants about how unfunny it was and that it should be deleted before the FBI arrests everyone who shares it.
The jokes write themselves.
That would be great, but unfortunately for me I have too many programs that depend on windows, don’t have Linux options, and if I’m being honest with myself I really just don’t want to learn an entirely new ecosystem. I will if forced, but the moment this laptop shits itself or they discontinue support for the OS, I’m getting a crash course.
I’d love to turn an old tablet or somethinf into a Linux device in the meantime so I can at least start something. Too bad my parent’s old kindles won’t work, there’s enough of them laying around their house…
Oh fuck yeah gimme that customization and personalization options
I used to use a program on one of my computers called rainmeter I think, and it allowed me to customize my desktop to look like the Animus menus from Assassin’s creed 2. Then decided to go with hexagons everywhere, with the replacement start menu dead center screen and other buttons areayed out from there.
Haven’t used it in many years, but I’d love that level of customization* on a pc nowadays. It seems like no matter where I go, every UI looks the same. Good for familiarity, not so much for “oh this is neat, they made it their own” factor.
*without learning entire programming languages, I hyperfixate on things but programming has never been something I’ve been able to get into
I just bought a laptop last year (portability and space constraints, I’d love to build a pc when I have the space for it) and it was supposed to come with windows 10.
I got a windows 11 model shipped to me. I didn’t ask for this. And I have to say… I fucking hate it. Why does the start menu need to change locations…
My next computer will absolutely be Linux, and it’s Microsoft’s own stupid fault. Windows 10 WAS supposed to be my last windows OS…
My dad was convinced the fridge magnet he “wiped the hard drive with” was sufficient to destroy the data inside.
I plugged it in to the new computer and whattaya kno’, booted up just fine.
At the time, I assume he just didn’t know fridge magnets weren’t powerful enough to do anything past the sheet metal exterior.
Now I’m convinced he physically wiped the fridge magnet all over the outside, thinking that literally you had to wipe the physical drive with any old magnet, and has absolutely no idea how hard drives stored data or why/how magnets work to disrupt it.
A subtle, but important difference.
I never part with my hard drives, once all the important data has been transferred and the entire hard rive has been backed up vie external storage, I disassemble it and cannibalize anything I need, and keep the actual disc assembly intact. I like spinning them by hand.
I mean, even if that is the case, so what?
Are other countries not allowed to have militaries anymore?
Space should not be militarized, in my opinion, but if the US is going to do it, then we don’t get to finger wag at other countries for doing the same thing.
An extremely outspoken instance filled with people who simp for fascist dictatorships but ultimately consider themselves communist and some socialists.
Most would call them “tankies” due to their willful denial of the 198(9) Tiananmen square massacre as “western propaganda” despite non-western sources agreeing it happened outside of China.
Imagine if super outspoken trump supporters had an instance and spent a lot of time trying to lecture other people about how they’re wrong when nobody spoke to them in the first place, then when presented with facts and logic they would respond with gifs, emojis, and a lot of claims that you’re a CIA front/shill.
Why does Sony always feel like you could replace anything they say with “You should consider yourself lucky we allow you to play our games.”
Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing
Name a more iconic duo
“the best city builder of 2024”
I mean, I like what they have so far but uh… It’s a pretty low bar, it’ll be hard to trip over…
Fun for what they have, but after maybe 10 hours you’ve played every aspect of the game. Each new game feels exactly like the game you just left. There isn’t much “design tweaking” you can do, and there isn’t much you can unlock that changes any gameplay.
Still, I have it with game pass and I keep it just in case something updates. It is fun to play. And you can disable the weird competitive features. This is a city builder, not call of duty. I don’t care to play against an opponent.
“When you are of working age and you have no more days off this week”
FTFY
No need for pointless generational divides, we’re all exhausted from this hell life.
Her logic IS undeniable.
You heard it here folks, you shouldn’t question something unless you are directly affected by it.
I would like that, the structure would not.
For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.
The first time I played that I was at the tail end of a marathon session from hyperfixating on the game.
I quit playing for a week because the cutscenes.
And of course beat it first try with no warm up when I came back…
Saturday was really warm here, like “t-shirt and jeans weather” warm.
I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.
I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.
I decided “fuck this I’m going home and practicing archery.” so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees.
I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something. It doesn’t help that my current residence has no windows, so all light is artificial and to get any sun I have to actually go outside.
Yeah, but to be fair, those were smallish nukes, and we only saw those go up against large bugs.
Not a net or trident in sight.
Not a fair comparison.
