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…

“could be ousted”
Uhhhhhh no.
Nobody in their right mind would listen to this.
The Russian Puppet never intended to allow support to continue and is making shit up to try and justify halting aid without serious backlash.
Musketrump and the MAGAts can get fucked. Unless they’re willing to go to war to enforce it, there’s 0 chance of it happening. And if they go to war for that, they’re going to have a hell of a lot of internal conflict that will absolutely result in blood. Militarily and civilian.
The fact that anyone can see this and think “yes, this is a clear sign we must invest MORE in oil consumption” is wild to me.
If ONE country is shelling out as much for renewable as the rest of the world spends on fossil fuels, then MAYBE, just MAYBE there might be something to renewables, especially given all the things we see daily about how much more efficient renewables are, how much money is in the entire industry, how quickly people are switching to renewables…
It’s mind boggling that anyone thinks fossil fuels are the future, or at least can convince other people that it’s the future all while caring about just the money.
I’d love to have a power wall and a wind/solar setup for all my energy needs.
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.
Lmao this guy thinks hard work is what makes people rich instead of massive amounts of exploitation in an inherently exploitative economic system…
Oh fuck yeah, give me some of that Elite.
Legitimately would love to play it again, Elite: Dangerous is super fun, but nostalgia wins.
The problem is not the price.
The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.
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.
You heard it here folks, you shouldn’t question something unless you are directly affected by it.
I haven’t logged into Facebook in over a decade, can’t even remember the login email. Can’t be arsed to jump through hoops to ask for it to be deleted.
Can’t imagine why anyone would willingly make a fb page today.
"They came first for the distros. But I didn’t speak up, because it was only Facebook and only Linux. "
I see no reason to “cut myself off” at any point, I still find games released in the last few years that look interesting, and some with release dates TBD that look neat.
I haven’t bought a new console since July 2015 and have no plans to buy a new generation any time soon.
When my current console dies, I might upgrade, but likely I will find a cheap used replacement and keep playing what I already have.
Someday I will update all my stuff, just not today.
Oooh, nice interrobang.
Having owned a couple low end printers, the ender 3 is my favorite budget option.
I’ve installed a couple upgrades, some of which I 3d printed on the printer itself, but my favorite ones are the borosilicate glass bed with a thermal pad to help spread out the heat quickly, and a dual z axis stepper motor.
If you’re not into tinkering, I’ve heard good things about Bambu, although I do not know much about them myself. Apparently they’re more user-friendly.
I enjoy working on my devices, but I would like something with more reliability than “recalibrate everything for every single print” sometimes.
It really is a hobby where spending just a little bit more will get you a ton of extra features and user experience.
Don’t care how they got it.
Unethically, probably illegally.
A person can dream.
Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc
Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.
surely they’ll follow up with investments into US-produced solar equipment to boost the economy and bring prices down to competitive levels, right?
… Right?
They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.
Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”
A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.
So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”
