The news keeps calling all these events “once-in-a-century” and I have to wonder, what are the odds of all of these once-in-a-century events happening in the same year? Never happened before in my life that I remember.

I’m sure there’s would be push back, but they should really just say “this is the new normal”.

That’s actually happening, and isn’t an effect. They’re using analogue recorders because that’s good/cheap enough to blow up after one use. There’s a bit of a delay to process and transmit the signal, so it cuts out during the last bit of processing before it even registers the hit.

Which does make piloting it a bit tricky, too. And if you’ve ever flown any type of drone, you probably noticed it’s faster than your reaction time, which makes these skilled attacks even more impressive to me. But I guess they also have a lot of practice, by now!

They didn’t think you were homeless. They correctly saw you struggle to buy a 10 dollar pizza with change from your pockets.

Most people will use a 20 or a card.

Yeah, you didn’t “need” the help, but that helped you nonetheless.

Also I know this isn’t OP so my breath is wasted, but people need to realize you don’t need to be homeless to be in a rough spot. You can be working poor.

I’m pretty sure he got that fixed. I don’t notice it on his newer stuff like the new top gun, at least

There has been a concerted effort by the US Govt to remove as much Indian culture as possible. Moving tribes from their homelands to reservations where the plants used in dishes are different, forbidding native languages, taking kids and schooling them to be white while they’re a thousand miles away from home to prevent cultural passing down, all adds up to a loss in recipes and traditions.

Indian tacos, while delicious, aren’t exactly traditional because they’re made with flour and other ingredients supplied by the US govt.

However, there are other things that have lasted - wojapi (berry sauce), kanuchi (nut soup), and some others. Mainly things that could translate between regions and be orally retold until they could be written down. Now it just takes a Google search to find them.

But overall, it’s hard to build a menu on pre-contact food. There’s a few restaurants, but it’s not easy.

The Cherokee Nation has an annual bike ride following that trail, and when it started in the 70s there wasn’t any indication as to where the path was. Today, there’s a lot of markers (many funded entirely by the tribe) that indicate special spots along the way. However, there are still a lot of unmarked, unknown graves. They get found every so often, as a testament to how many died that no one recorded.

That’s a really innovative idea, and solves a lot of transportation problems since phonographs were usually stationary in a house.

However, the size doesn’t fix the problem of carrying around 10" disks to play on it, so the setup is only as compact as its components. Still better than carrying around a cabinet, though!

He should drop an album while he’s on top!

If the computer can do transports, why is O’Brian even in the transporter room? Just to suffer? Fucker doesn’t even get a chair. Stare at the wall for 8 hours, standing straight because your can’t even lean.

Who did he piss off?

We won’t understand until it starts happening to us. Not to worry, it’ll hit everyone soon enough. The ones already alive today in our cushy first world insulated biomes will feel it.

Unfortunately, only the ones without the power to make any changes will be the ones that suffer most.

Yep, that’s exactly what it did. Maybe there was a way to do it, say if you had a VPN, but people picked up pretty quick to ban a single IP.

A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.

The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.

This is the first I’ve heard that they’re planning other engines other than the hydrogen. Which I certainly hope for, as hydrogen-only would put it out of reach for a lot of people due to how impractical it is to find a hydrogen fueling station right now.

My other concern is that they won’t make many of these. I’d rather it not be a 1 of 500 that sit around in collector’s garages collecting dust.

Computer usage doesn’t determine that you spell it with a k.

A disk is indeed short for diskette, and disc is short for discus.

However, you can absolutely use a compact disc on a computer.

And while there are typically spinning platters or spinning magnetic strips inside hard drive disks or floppy disks, they are referred to by the whole unit as a logical disk drive that you’d see in computer.

If it’s possible to find them all now, you’d see that DVDs, CDs, Blu-ray, laserdisc, are all spelled like discus. 3.5, 4.5 floppy disks, hard drives, solid state drives, tape drives, etc all spell it disk.

So for the most part, being purely observational, you can see that anything shaped like a frisbee with a hole in it will be a disc, and everything else is a disk.

I think that’s slightly different than your explanation, as the terms are mutually exclusive.

It’s probably more sanitary in Japan, but in the US I could see the guy sitting in the both next to me sneezing directly into the water, licking his chopsticks before attempting (and missing) some noodles. Then giving up and using his hands, that he didn’t wash after coming back from the toilet.

Kind of like buffets.

Working on IT, I see quite the spectrum. One of which was a guy who was socially lacking. He did his job ok, but in office, he didn’t know how to interact with other people. He would bring his own pickles and put them in the fridge, and fish them out for a snack. Then he would get ice for his water, and go back to work. He missed a critical step of using a utensil or washing his hands, and it took a while for everyone to realize why the ice started tasting off.

Then we find that he didn’t wash his hands thoroughly, and I got sick eating chips he had rummaged through earlier.

He did an ok job at his desk, but made other people uncomfortable because he couldn’t pick up on enough social queues to prevent people from disliking him.

He was eventually let go for trying to fix a cable under the desk of the only girl in the office, on the day she wore a skirt. This was far and beyond extreme and I wouldn’t expect most people, no matter where they fall in the spectrum, to behave this way. But the interviews are to try to suss that out. “Culture fit”, I think they’d call it.

That’s slate. Very sure. It’s a common building material (especially roofing) where it can look and act like that.

Shale is similar. I have a lot of shale deposits nearby, and I can say that stripping paint with a paintbrush would likely break little bits off of it. It’s way to fragile to do anything with it. It would be exceedingly difficult to cut it to that shape and keep it that way, as well.

He really hated Obama, but now there’s a real fear that the entire nation will say they like a black woman better than him. And I just don’t think he could handle that kind of rejection.

I just want to ride on my motorcycle
