  • I think there were actually three… One was that pocket dimension thing with the wormholes.

    One was the area of space the Malon were dumping their toxic warp waste. The waste and radiation created an expanse of space that blocked the stars. And there was that native species that was being killed by the waste but had adapted to the darkness.

    And then there was the section of space that was dark and many light-years across, again with some exotic radiation and most of the crew had to be put into stasis. Only the Doctor and Seven could be awake, but they started hallucinating like halfway through.

    It’s been a while since I went through my last rewatch though, I could be mixing some stuff up or those last two might have been the same episode and I’m splitting it up from memory.

    Because they know that’s the only way they might possibly get any of it. Because no one in their real life will talk to them anymore or even give a shit about them. They’ve pushed absolutely everyone that might have supported them away with their crazy bullshit and now all they have left is trying to get the attention of those with power to latch onto like a leech. But they can’t admit that’s what they’re doing, so they hide behind it all like they’re not the mistress to be thrown under the bus when convenient.


  • No you’re thinking too small. You use the billions of images and hours of video of Musk and Trump and use that to deep fake a very long and passionate gay sex tape scene. Fuck, you could probably commission two actors to make a new scene for free given those bastards views on non-conformative sexuality, then you wouldn’t even be able to match it to a non-deepfake original.

    We know there’s nothing more directly personal that those two think about than sex.





  • Nintendo, like many Japanese companies, only produces what they know with 100% certainty they can sell. They purposely underproduced the Wii so it constantly sold through retail and absolutely no stock stuck on shelves for long. They don’t actually care about complaints of supply issues, that is intentional.

    As a side effect they also get to constantly stay in the headlines as their constant lack of supply keeps being reported. So they get free marketing as well, just by operating as they always have. And with current global supply chain conversations, they get a free smokescreen with the general populace going out of their way to blame someone else.

    I doubt your Subi can fit a 4’x8’ sheet of plywood flat. Most trucks just don’t have an 8’ bed.

    Only the largest of the three F150 bed sizes is 8’ long. So most F150s would require the tailgate to be down to fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood just like the Cybertruck here. A RAM 1500 has two bed sizes, 5’7" or 6’4" bed. The newest Subaru Baja only has a 4’6" bed.



  • It’s entirely likely. That site hasn’t changed a bit in over 2 decades. .

    While publicly known external security vulnerabilities may have been found and patched over the years, having the source leaked means a look behind the hood at new weaknesses and a field day with exploiting them.

    If 4Chan does come back, I think it will look significantly different.



  • The biggest problem with adoption is that the legislators that are needed to make this change only have their job because of the primary system. Many of them would never be elected in a ranked choice system so they would be actively firing themselves and losing the power they have. The Republicans fully know that they’re actually a minority despite their claims, every single voter survey shows their policies are unpopular to the majority of Americans. They would be actively destroying their party by supporting ranked choice voting.

    Some States have ways of the electorate proposing laws directly, that the legislature doesn’t have control over, which helps combat this, but that’s only some States, and nothing at the national level. That’s essentially the only way we can shift away from this first past the post system at a national level, shifting to ranked choice at the state level until we whittle enough power away from the fascist party to actually have change.

    This is the reason 100%. The Pharmacist and consultations is what matters. Pharmacies rarely hire to have more than 1 pharmacist on at any given time. Just like many stores only have 1 manager on at a time.

    Hell, in some areas where legal, CVS and the like have been trying to switch to remote pharmacists via video calls to not even have to hire for each location! Just taking absolute minimum staffing to the next level to optimize profits even more. You thought it was bad not having an extra employee to cover call outs and vacation? Now it’s being constantly understaffed to optimize profit.



  • That depends on your description of development. Socially, economically, etc we have reverted and are doing the same things that failed 100 years ago. But there have been breakthroughs elsewhere.

    Cas9 gene editing through CRISPR has opened a ton of incredibly valuable medical options around that time. The same with mRNA vaccination breakthroughs leading into the COVID era.

    The biggest barrier to widespread adoption is the portion of the toxic parts of the general community. You know who they are, you see them all the time. They exist across all distros, and they seem to go out of their way to make the experience as miserable as possible when new users are asking simple questions.

    They often are some of the first people new users interact with when needing help transitioning over. They seek out those beginner questions to act superior, and just turn the average user off to the point they decide to never try it again.

    Without strong moderation to reduce that dipshit commentary, the Linux community will always be working against mainstream adoption.
