Truly random. I would have never guessed that one.

Simple hack - click outside the window. Because in the end it doesn’t matter who is a robot.
Back in the 80s I bought a few of the Star Fleet Battles board game manuals. Loved going through them all and imagining how complex a game could be, but never was able to actually set up any gaming sessions (after all it was even more niche than D&D, and very dry in the tons of rules). When I ran across the Star Fleet Command series years later, it was like I could finally participate in what I had dreamed about. Granted it didn’t have all the rules (maybe that’s a good thing) and it was set in the “standard” familiar universe and many of the board game unique races and ships weren’t there, but it felt like playing the spirit of the board game, setting up scenarios and seeing what you could do.
FWIW, anyone who isn’t familiar with the board game, the Andromedans are probably where some of the ideas used with Borg came from. The alternate history and ship developments due to the wars that break out are also great.
They didn’t learn the lesson of Sim City.
Could have been Reddit data. Stack Overflow is more heavy on the probability of telling them it’s a question that’s been asked before.
It says not to sit. Cat isn’t sitting. All good.
You don’t have to use fossil fuels. Just pointing out.
Girls can like digging holes too. Sounds to me like someone is looking for something to hate, and really reaching here, unless there’s something more subtle to this game (I doubt it).
Does Tolkien have any writings about what happened when the dwarves dug too deep, or is that just a side note mentioned to explain why things are found that way? Gandalf had heard some rumors, but wasn’t sure if they were true. That would have been an interesting documentary of first hand “oh shit! RUN!”
Dodged a bullet. You don’t want anyone with that kind of personality. Sure, other girls might think that internally, but for her to say it out loud to her friends, while you’re within earshot…she ain’t worth shit.
My God, it’s full of stars!
I wish that commenting would automatically upvote a post. It’s far too late to fix the use of an upvote as approval of subject discussion and not just an agree arrow, but I often…no, I almost always forget to upvote the initial topic even after leaving a few paragraphs. One would hope whatever algorithm is used also considers activity and number of comments in a rating or suggesting it to others.
Change posture, but also get up and move around. Take breaks away from the screen to let your eyes rest.
Of course doing this can also mess up the flow of ideas sometimes. Nothing worse than coming back and trying to recapture the zone you were in.
Ceres does appear to be active in some form with cryovolcanoes, based on the 2015 Dawn mission.
I think focus ought to be more on what the qualifications are for the minor label. What does it mean to be minor?
That’s a good question. Is being hydrostatic equilibrium the only physical attribute we should use for classification? Should Ceres be a planet?
For some reason this subject always hits a nerve, but I found this take pretty funny. Almost like when you experiment with regex matching randomly and find everything but what you really want to get.
It also wouldn’t be a joke or topic if the definition had been clarified better than it was initially. They should have used the term “dynamical dominance”, implying whether or not a body is the primary object left in its orbital area after formation. And this has its own issues, as solar systems change over time.
Or a boxcutter that won’t go but so deep. Good ones even have a guide to let you cut around the edges in second for displaying purposes.
Snowpiercer, except there’s no real plot or change. You are in the car you’re in, period.
