She was meant to be a foil against Data, but came off as hating him.

I think it's because Brent Spiner was so damn charismatic as Data.

Like SNW or DISCO?

The only thing he did that was questionable was set up 4 shifts. That's a big change and having engineering work around the clock is a bit of a dick move.

I feel like this might be another example of OPs meme. Feyman called it a magic number we have no understanding of. It's one of the great mysteries of modern physics.

My wife and I have basically replaced TV with audiobooks. We get to read a book together and we can do something while listening.

I love them.

I think you might have something wrong with your install. I do some heavy simulations (mostly Thermo and structural stress tests) with old hardware and haven't had to restart ever.

I'm baffled as to how you can have so many problems.

You need multiple restarts a day?

What are you doing?

I thought the same before Trump was elected. I thought to myself, it won't be good but it won't be worse, and boy was I proven wrong.

There are deep systemic flaws in America that are not being addressed. I'm sure you see them too. But things got worse under Trump, just look at the steps backwards in environmental protection, trans rights and women's rights. To say it doesn't matter is ignoring the harm done to many communities.

It's okay to want a better candidate, but to paint both sides as no different is reckless and petulant.

The strangeness of the Fine Structure Constant isn't it's value, it's that we don't know what it is.

Other constants have units that explain what they are doing. Like converting miles to meters we multiply by meters/miles. But this is just a number that is needed. That's so strange I can't think of another example.

But it is the question.

OP wants to know if fairphone will last 10 years. The retort is that even if you can have a phone that is supported for 10 years, you won't want to use it that long.

What profession is willing to pay for social media recruitment?

What prejudice do you want to have confirmed?

What product do you wish to advertise?

What media product do you wish to advertise?

Can you believe this obvious lie?

Do you think they dyed all their margaritas black in mourning?
