I’m thinking of Picard being a cyborg now (before everybody just agreed not to talk about it), but I’d have to rewatch disco to get a more specific example and I’m not doing that. It’s a feeling I have that I admittedly could be off base on.

I don’t think NASA sells their research, pretty much anyone can take it and make their own variant. So it’ll probably be an aviation startup that will try to run it like a tech company, collect a billion dollars and deliver vaporware (or if we’re lucky, something extremely dangerous like the oceangate sub) before eventually going bankrupt.
This is the focus of the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator, so it’s not like NASA isn’t working on that problem too for what it’s worth.
It’s interesting because it kind of highlights how a lot people perceive Star Trek technobabble (or at least, the pop-cultural understanding they have of it) as being incoherent nonsense when a lot of the shows have put in a lot of effort into making it not that. One of the most annoying things about the newer Treks is that apparently the writers at CBS started believing it too, causing them to take less care with technobabble in those shows and actually writing a bunch of nonsense.
Hey check out this really cool pitching machine I made
2025 Presidential Transition Project
I had a totally different idea of what this was gonna be.
75F basically all the time, cooling only no heating. I also always turn it off at night and open all the windows/vice versa in the morning to save energy. I’m not a dad but this is totally a dad thing that I started doing when I turned 30.
This is in the southwestern US.
I’ve done it semi recently, I think it was related to being sleep deprived.
Godot is a lot of fun! I’ve never finished making a game but I’ve made a half dozen hacky demos that I was really proud of.
If you don’t change the economic system then you’ll just run into exactly the same problems as we already have. The one year term elected officials will be handed pre-written legislation by corporations, they’ll be heavily incentivized to pass it, if they don’t it’ll be a short turn around before the people with Capital can try again, and if they instead try to pass their own legislation that Capital doesn’t approve of it they’ll get the next person to undo it.
I’m in a job that’s good enough that I may be able to buy or build a small house of my own in the near future - but first I have to wait for everyone who is currently selling their houses to panic for no reason in particular, plummeting prices, kicking people out of homes they’ve lived in for a decade or more, and causing all kinds of mayhem. And then when I get a place of my own I’ll be subject to this absurdity directly every five to ten years like clockwork!
You didn’t even mention the funniest part. We know that raising the fed rates can hurt the poor by reducing their access to money, but we don’t actually have any compelling evidence that it reduces inflation. It’s literally the modern equivalent of the ancient Romans or Greeks sacrificing an animal for a bountiful harvest.
BRICS+ is announcing payback time for a few millenia
ehhhh I don’t think this is remotely true. Literally every single country in BRICS is still trying to maintain good relations with the US, the main thing China wants to do is create an alternative to the US-centric global trade network and the main benefit this brings to other countries is that they can’t be sanctioned as easily. “Payback time” won’t happen unless a majority of the world signs on and they all agree to sanction the US and Europe (which would be hilarious but is never gonna happen).
The bad guys passed all of the enclosure acts of the middle ages.
I think they do serve a purpose, but not everyone on the stage was aware of what that purpose actually was. The purpose was to audition to be Trump’s new VP pick since he’s definitely not going with Pence again.
D&D 3.5 got me into both kinds of gaming. I remember me and some of my friends wanting to play it, and I remember tracing characters from the dot hack manga for our character sheets and playing the starter set. Later on I found out my friend had an old computer in his house (I think it was an Apple II?) and one of the Gold Box D&D games, and that ended up being the first computer game I spent a ton of time playing. Before then I had played SNES and Genesis a bit but they weren’t really a focus for me at that point, but then when I got Morrowind I was fully bought in to video games too.
Hexbear has so many good ones, I’m quite fond of &
But I also grew up on Battle.net playing Starcraft, so I often resort to kirbys. t(" t) (> ")> <(^o^)> (g ")–o
Doesn’t everyone in the Federation have a universal translator? I always assumed it was some kind of implant.
sovietsteeds.com It’s a really niche forum that was made in the distant past and then stubbornly refused to change, much like the motorcycles they ride.
I’m gonna get in big trouble with work I’m not supposed to make copies of those.
