It might have been motivated by an insatiable hunger for donuts.

The whole field of stem cell research really excites me because it has so many potential applications. This is amazing news and makes me all the more excited for similar breakthroughs in the future!

Yup, that’s how it should be across the board. That’s how it is with modern airliners. The redundancy of having each system be controlled by multiple computers is nullified if a hacker can get to control all of them, including the ones which are safety critical, just by hacking one. I honestly don’t blame you, I love the internet but there really are situations where something really doesn’t need to be connected to the internet.

Why does a car need to be connected to the internet? A reliable rule of conduct in aeronautics is that systems which are deemed critical to safety are air gapped from the systems which are connected to the internet, so in the event that those systems are compromised by malware or hackers, the safety critical systems won’t also be compromised.

Why is it seemingly taking automotive manufacturers so long to catch on to this principle? Before anyone mentions downloadable features, I do not see that as a means of justification. Like with videogames, if you’re paying good money for a product, that product should already be finished by release. Hiding content that should already exist on a car is egregious and the normalisation of it incentivizes manufacturers to release vehicles that are incomplete and should not have been released in their current state.

Futurama. I love how creative it is as well as how it can have its emotional moments, at least with the older seasons.

Windows, namely because Paint Tool SAI only runs on Windows…

I’m convinced that movie is a masterpiece. The score is amazing too!

I’d have a “Mute” button, which stops someone’s posts from being seen, and then a separate “Block” button, which would prevent any interaction.

Probably were using expired glue, as Stockton Rush boasted about using discounted carbon fiber from Boeing that was past its shelf life for usage in airplanes.

There were so many things relating to this incident that bewildered me. The titanium end caps were stuck on using glue, by hand. Also, while carbon fiber is great at handling tensile loads at 14 PSI, it’s not so great at handling compressive ones at 5500 PSI. For such a delicate mission, the whole thing seemed unprofessional in so many ways.

I am now going to casually refer to all caffeinated beverages as “elixirs of wakefulness”

Interstellar.

I’ve watched it so many times, yet I still ugly cry at least twice every time I do.

No, I would call that “preparing”. Cooking is the act of using heat to prepare food for consumption.

Palworld has to be the most addicted I’ve ever been to a game in years, and that was back at launch in January. I’m not going to spoil anything, but they’ve added a ton of new things since!

Patenting vague game mechanics is egregious. This would be like Insomniac patenting “character runs around with a big gun” and subsequently filing a lawsuit against Nintendo for Splatoon, because both Ratchet and the Inklings run around with big guns.

My biggest fear is that the Nintendo Switch 2 won’t be able to dispense coffee.

Corny jokes aside, germs.

Me! I am ambidextrous.

When I was 5, and I asked the question of where babies come from, my parents explained to me that when a man and a woman love each other very much, they produce “seeds” and “eggs” which then seed a baby in the mother, and these “seeds” are transfered through a special kind of cuddle. I found it amusing and asked, “so, people are like flowers? 🥺” (I had a phase back then where I was obsessed with flowers…)

There were anti-drug ads on TV and I asked my parents what they were about. They said that there are “bad pills which aren’t medicine”, that a doctor would say are very bad, which will make you act in a way that isn’t yourself and also ruin your health.

A SNES I have that is so old it has yellowed with age (The yellow color is due to oxidation of the plastic that was used). I don’t even know if it still works… 😭 The last game I played on it was Super Mario World and I experienced a corruption in which the screen went completely black and there was a rumbling sound in the background.
