Can anyone reading this really not understand why most people prefer gaming on Windows and find Linux intimidating?

Honestly, I joined the Star Trek server because it checked all the boxes. Allows down votes, doesn’t block NSFW posts, doesn’t force censorship of words they think are naughty, large enough to be active and have a wide range of subscribers. Funny memes about one of my favorite shows is just a bonus.

Sounds like his points are making you uncomfortable. It also sounds like you’d rather just eject from the conversation and pretend it never happened than accept that the world is a big, messy, complicated place and your hot takes are actually cold shit.

Not to mention they usually count the weight of whatever they’re in too. See a big news story about the cops seizing tons of product at a port? Well they’re including the shipping container weight.

What insurance company would be braindead enough to insure NFTs?

Maybe kamikaze drones? Not as fast as missiles, but as long as they’re faster than the attack drone, they could still be effective.

The difference here is you were having arguments with someone during development. It’s easy to look at a successful final product and say “that guy had no clue what he was talking about about!”

Bethesda is saying the same thing about their fans, but for a final product that’s not very good. It’s one thing to dismiss criticism during your process, but to dismiss criticism after you present your results is basically saying you are never open to it.

Iowa is pretty flat, it’s not hard to run cable across flat land. Try doing that in a mountainous area like Montana or Utah and it gets much trickier.

…do you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what kind of research happens at university labs, or are you just assuming none of it happens in Florida universities?

I hate ads. But you know what’s even worse? Spam.

The stock Pixel OS is the only one I know of that takes massive steps to screen and block spam calls and texts. For that reason alone, I have no desire to switch.

Ok, but you realize that completely ignores the immediate problem of Hamas continuing to perform terrorist attacks, right? Like, that does literally nothing to stop the immediate problem.

It’s like if you had cancer and someone told you the cure is clean, healthy living. Sure, that might have stopped it if it had been done earlier, and it would certainly help prevent it from returning, but it doesn’t really address the cancer you currently have that’s trying to kill you.

So what’s your solution for Hamas?

I could be wrong, I haven’t done a deep dive into The Troubles, but I don’t believe the IRA ever launched or stored bombs in schools and hospitals.

Manual bike.

There’s playing with fan expectations; and then there’s taking everything the fans loved, literally burning it on screen, and essentially saying “none of this matters anymore and you were stupid if you thought it ever did”.

where companies can’t sell an LLM product with copyrighted training data.

If an artist learns their technique from copying other artists until they are competent enough to produce their own original works, should they be banned from selling their original work or services? After all, they used copyrighted training data to gain the skills needed to produce said work and services.

And people said NFTs were stupid. I mean, they are, but people have been paying for essentially the same thing for years now.

Dirty Jobs, Cash Cab, Future Weapons

They had no idea what they wanted to do with Ferengi in this episode. By the end, they are downright feral. Wearing furs and jumping around screaming like cavemen. After watching them in later episodes, this one just feels really weird to see.

So what’s the deal with Keiko? Was she intentionally written to be an awful wife? She frequently holds double standards, is lukewarm to O’Brian at the best of times, and constantly acts like she’s just in a marriage of convenience. I honestly can’t recall a single time she ever showed genuine affection for O’Brian. It’s like she expected him to die long ago to get Starfleet’s widow benefits, and every day he’s still alive she resents him for it.
