It helps when their brain isn't actively dripping out of their ears😁. But yeah, wouldn't you rather have someone who you actually agree with that's old? Besides, Bernie would have won 2016 if anything, he was almost a decade younger at that point.

Head cannon is that 1/3 of voyager is taken up by a massive shuttle manufactory. It's never discussed but it must be there...Otherwise, none of this shit makes any sense.😬

First TNG watch throughl, she was And impediment to s02 crusher. But as I've watched repeatedly, she was a great character who made her presence known. She wasn't perfect, but she was interesting and she changed as the season went on wrt Data. I still think she was a eagerly underrated character.

So hot, equally baffled.

If it weren't true you would be experiencing a net acceleration due to the imbalance in the forces acting on you.

What's really interesting is figuring out WHY mechanistically it's true. I had to rethink the whole thing this morning, because it really is pretty nuts how much weaker gravity is than the electrostatic force.

FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!

Stamets provides a lot of the content on the startrek.website server, and apparently beyond. They're very active and I appreciate what they do fwiw.

I get the sentiment, but I don't owe anyone a vote. Voting for the lesser of two evils is one thing when it's someone useless like Obama, but the "good" option is balls deep in a genocide and destabilizing the world in his allegiance to another country. Not voting for the senile genocide guy is the least I can do.

I'll be the first to say it sucks. Despite busting the railway unions his NLRB was doing good shit. It really really sucks.

Always an upvote for Doom OST

I've seen this in banking too. I have my health savings account with a provider that charges a percentage of your holdings as the admin fee. That can add up. My old one is a flat rate per month. I have been transferring the money every year to the flat rate provider and the process is completely arcane.

1. Find the document on their site. The correct document isn't named clearly like the document you use to pull other providers into your account.

2. You have to print it and write by hand (not an editable PDF)

3. Assuming you've done this correctly you must mail them the document, like he said, with a stamp like a fucking caveman.

4. Behind the scenes the process is even more arcane, because again they claim they PHYSICALLY MAIL A CHECK to the new provider like fucking cavemen.

It's really clear that this is in bad faith. Banking "innovation" is a joke in the US. I know that everyone hates crypto up in this bitch (I get it), but a little self custody would go a long way in situations like this.

I hear those things are a masterpiece of engineering. They're made to within 10 microns. You know, like a Lego!

Snowcrash: pleasantly surprised by the quality of the world building, which I love.
