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.
My 4 month old laptop has hdmi on the back, ethernet on the left, four usb 3.whatever slots with two on each side, two USB c slots on the right side, and a microsd slot.
I think it even has a 3.5mm headset jack but I’d have to get out of bed to check. I don’t have any peripherals that use 3.5mm anymore though so it’s just a nice little bonus.
I mean… It was a gamble. Internet was still young. Speeds weren’t keeping up with game sizes outside a few major cities. I was mailed a few large files because it was quicker than downloading them. Not to mention the desire for physical copies over a digital thing you can lose with a bad hard drive was at an all time high.
Then people realized the internet wasn’t just nerd shit, ISPs slowly ramped up their DL speeds and suddenly the thing people mocked for not being feasible is doing well because of how convenient it became.
Gabe even admits he had doubts for awhile.
I wonder where gaming would be if he had listened to the doubters. There’s no denying valve has had a major impact on modern gaming
You have to follow up any looks or double takes with something exra.
“Oh don’t worry. That’s for after.” wiggles eyebrows
It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.
So… Life.
Sweet!
I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.
Idk how hard water coding is, but I imagine it’s hard since good looking water seems rare.
That is some damn fine looking water
Excellent shots.
Personally I like “Shit tends to clump together.”
And “the turd doesn’t fall far from the asshole”
Reminder that George Tekei is still alive and he was put in an Internment camp.
A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:
"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can’t buy it.
As anyone who works for me can tell you, it’s not MY fault I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who’s shirts I didn’t like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they’re doing. I’m such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"
The same kind of person who shares this as if it’s some sort of condemnation see absolutely no problem sitting on the couch, pounding down 15 beers a night, and scream at their wife and kids
You make a good point.
The sand consumes all.
… Antarctica doesn’t seem to have much in the way of law enforcement, so they likely wouldn’t deport him back to us.
Could we Try there?
the average Republican voter does not understand
You can just stop there, and be correct about almost any topic.
I had to explain tax brackets to my mother.
She’s got a degree to teach math. And I know she actually went to college since I can remember sitting in the back of her classrooms when she couldn’t find a babysitter.
She used to do her own taxes and my grandparents taxes.
But, as a teenager, I had to explain why a potential $2 raise doesn’t mean she’s losing more money in taxes than the raise is giving her.
She also doesn’t believe the welfare cliff exists, despite our family being precariously perched atop it when I was in elementary school.
At this point I think she’s just heard the same stupid shit repeated over and over, she doesn’t even question it anymore.
You joke, buuuuuuut https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/
The USAF has denied this, multiple times.
I do not believe them.
Mainly because I know how people were during the cold war and have no doubt in my mind that the thought process was “nobody will ever access this without a reason, so let’s make it super quick and easy or we might be radioactive slag before we finish typing”
The mere fact that it’s believable is a problem.
Who could have done this? What entity or entities could have possibly benefitted from trying to get democratic polling places closed? WHO?
We may never know. Case closed.
If my eyes rolled any harder, they’d pop out the side of my head.
fair and square
LMAO someone hasn’t been paying attention the last few decades and thinks the system is designed to be fair, or for some reason is forgetting that fact to try and make a point…
I’m not saying Harris ran a good campaign. It was misstep after misstep, and don’t even get me started on Cheney…
But this election was not a fair one, nor has there ever been a fair election. It was designed to favor a specific class/group from the start.
I’m sure the Palestinian people will be safe now.
They should give a speech with a giant “Mission accomplished” banner overhead.
People talk about being there “for” someone. Here being there “with” him is more important.
When I’m depressed, having someone sitting on the couch in my living room scrolling on their phone is infinitely more meaningful to me than someone who is miles away and texting me a lot or offering to help with things. It’s probably part of my neurodivergence but having the person close in proximity while at least sort of paying attention to the room makes me feel less alone than having 10 people trying to check in on me all day.
And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it’s a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.
I’m not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for “early morning” US browsing or “after work” EU browsing, your post would do well.
Idk lemmy’s demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it’s hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.
Yes, someone would have. Eventually.
But valve did it early.
It’s easy to fill a niche once it’s formed. Not so easy to do before, or as it’s forming. Or predict if one will form.
I’m not saying valve or Gabe had some kind of foresight or wisdom, I still think it was a gamble. It just happens to be a gamble that worked.
