Did we forget Russia invaded and captured Crimea and then said they had no further desires to expand or wage more war against Ukraine? GTFO

The battlefield isn’t even being faught on the Ukrainian side using the most cutting edge of Western technology and you want to keep fighting? Holy shit.

Dresden would approve.

Agreed. It was an amazing bit of fan service that was executed in a way that didn’t t make it feel cheap or meaningless.

I am the lead on a team of 5 and technically we have an on call rotation but it is rarely used. In the last 3 years I have been called after hours a total of 4 times and TBH it was usually due to an AWS outage which resulted in us saying well let’s see how long it takes for them to o restore services and then someone run a safety check to make sure shit is normal.

For that I make $120k, have unlimited PTO, and work from home.

Came to say this. I enjoy hunting and outdoor activities so I have a multitude of gear. What I use depends on where I am going, who is going with me, and what activities we plan on doing. Such as:

1. 30ft Toy Hauler Camper

2. UTV and flatbed trailer

3. Truck bed Tent

4. Tents of various sizes and various types of climates

5. Sleeping bags for various climates

6. Hiking/Hunting clothes and shoes for various climates

7. Binos and Spotting scopes of various styles

8. Backpacks… So many backpacks

9. Rifles of various calibers for hunting different game and environments and various fishing poles

10. Lifejackets, paddle boards, and kayaks

I know 2 people who wrote COBOL code for some major healthcare systems a long time ago and they came out of retirement about 5 years ago to update/convert that code. They made six figure salaries working from home to update that code.

To quote the great Nicholas Meyer (Director of Wrath of Khan) who spoke on this topic:

“Roddenberry had his own utopian vision about the perfectibility of man, and I never really believed that. And I don’t think the show demonstrates that. I think it is about gunboat diplomacy. In the final analysis, the Enterprise fires. They’re always shooting and bringing civilization, and coming to worlds where they don’t approve of tyrannical enterprises – no pun intended – and they substitute their own quote unquote enlightened version of how society is supposed to work, which is essentially American.”

I use Windows for work and gaming, MacOS for app development (mostly because I can code for iOS and Android in one environment), and ChromeOS for my daily browsing.

I just enjoy how chrome always works when I need to just browse the internet or buy something online without issue.

When I worked as a IT Tech at a University years ago we had a lot of MacOS users who believed they could just pick it up and use it like their iPhone. It was absurd how well their marketing worked because those users either forced themselves to learn it or dropped it and went back to Windows.

I know a lot of iOS users who have iPads and iPhones but still have windows PCs because they don’t have to worry about compatibility issues.

Those are super easy to fix. Even the Google eraser could fix those easily.

Yep. Went to Disneyland a year ago and the trip there was very affordable. The trip home was 3-4x higher since it was closing time.

100% agree with you. The TOS loyalists are going out of their way to find excuses to hate this show. It’s the best series I have seen since TNG and I am not saying the others were bad. I actually like all of them with the exception of Discovery because it focuses so heavily on one plotline and one character.

This is an ensemble with humor when it needs it and is more true to the heart of Trek than people are giving it credit.

This episode was amazing.

Well Bears are fucking massive so if they slapped you without claws they still have the ability to break bones and cause other severe injury.

Agreed. SoM was also a classic. I just enjoyed the aesthetic of Evermore and it had a cool dog companion.

Try Secret of Evermore. The combat is very different but the game allows for two players! One controls the main character and the other can control his pet dog. It’s one of the rare action RPGs of the time.

FF6 is such a great game. I saved up and bought both of these games as a kid, lots of late nights irrigating fields and killing rattlesnakes to get those titles. Both titles were great in their own way and I can’t imagine my childhood without them. Another great game was Secret of Evermore.

I wish Wild Arms had an official mobile port. Such a great series with no modern IP usage to take advantage of its cult status.

The official mobile port is well done. I know it wasn’t always the case but after some past updates I haven’t had any issues with it. I picked it up on Google Play and it was worth the $8 I paid.
