I think a capsule, permanently drifting through space, frozen, with a plaque on the side saying “this is a warning to everyone” sends a much clearer message.

Worf’s son Alexander was born in 2366 and was fighting in the Dominion war by 2374, at 8 years old, so I think he has her beat on precociousness.

Oh FFS.

This is a message to all straight guys: buy gay underwear!

Get yourself on Andrew Christian, Box, or Aussiebum, or any of the other underwear sites that cater to gay men. We have styles of underwear you wouldn’t believe. Yes there’ll be rainbows on a bunch of them, but there’s plenty that are more “reserved”.

BUT, what we do have is a wide range of styles that are comfortable and sexy. We have underwear that separates your cock from your balls, which are really comfortable. We have styles that allow you to show off, or act demure. We have boxer shorts that have freaking pockets!

And because the queer community largely (not always, but we’re working on it) accepts all body types, we even cater to larger guys who need a little more room in their smalls.

Seriously boys, get yourself some sexy gay undies. Your junk, and your partners, will thank you.

And the problem is further compounded by the Series S outselling the X by around 3:1, and the PS5 outselling the Xbox Series X And S combined by around 2:1. So the series X install base is 6 times smaller than the PS5.

So having to spend extra dev time to get it to work on the Series S if you want to release on Xbox at all, along with only a fraction of those players getting to experience the intended look and feel of the game, it’s no wonder they’re skipping it.

This all does indicate an issue for Sony though, with the price of the PS5 Pro. People were told that the Series S would play all the games the Series X can, and they flocked to the cheaper console. Now Sony are pushing a console for £800. I don’t think it’s going to do very well.

Ah, following in Wakefield’s steps. Good to see the grifters and charlatans don’t change, but it is sad that people keep falling for it.

Have you heard of “false friends?” Words that have come from one language into another, but due to use have completely changed meaning along the way, often to mean the exact opposite of their original meaning. This is common enough that, especially if you speak a Latin based language and learn English as a second language, you’ll see them everywhere.

My point is, that this is not an internet phenomena and has been a feature of languages since there has been language. Some don’t last long, others are so embedded in our lexicons that we don’t even notice.

I used to work for a major telecoms compass until recently, working on their VMWare stack and to say they are a major customer of VMWare is to put it mildly. The cost for VMWare has skyrocketed after the Broadcom deal, so while the team were gearing up for the next gen system utilising more tools from the ESXi stack, now that’s entirely abandoned and instead they’re tooling up to replace it. That’s over 500,000 VMs across a dozen or so datacenters. Broadcom’s actions may make them a lot of money in the next few years as their customers are forced to pay this huge hike, but it won’t last for long.

I only ever saw one rear projection TV in my life, and it was owned by the biggest sci-fi and anime nerd I ever met. It was a fantastic looking screen though, compared to the CRTs of the time.

This is why we say “the cruelty is the point” because this is where that cruelty leads.

And Smart Tube Next for Android TV devices.

Oh, 100 percent. There’s much healthier ways to deal with that kind of grief.

I used to work in a shop that could easily be described as “New Age” and it has a tarot reader there. Having looked at the history of tarot but being a complete sceptic, I asked for a reading one time to see for myself how they go.

Afterwards I asked her “it’s a light therapy session, isn’t it?” She responded “mostly.”

That’s pretty much what it is, cheap, basic therapy to help you sort through your thoughts, and shares some similarities with CBT. I’d still recommend therapy if you need it, but I don’t mind people going to a tarot reader if that’s what helps them. But I still think the mysticism side of it can be a problem for a variety of reasons.

It’s one of the tactics of fascism, to get heavily involved in sex. Regulating it, controlling it, and using the overlap with shame to control people. There’s tonnes written on the subject and it’s fascinating, but also terrifying.

Southern Italy doesn’t really have cold weather, especially pre-industrial. It’s very temperate.

I saw these in the Herculaneum in Naples, though there the roofs were slanted towards the opening to capture more rain. You could follow a few of the sluces through the town so you could see how they were connected.

I’ve been to Naples a couple times recently, and from my experience, rain in the summer is usually a sudden downpour, lasts no more than 20 minutes, drops a lot of rain at once and then it’s sunny again. I didn’t experience much wind beyond it being a bit gusty during the rain, but inside one of these houses, they’d be fine. It’ll still be 35°C or more, so a little light splashing would’ve been welcomed.

It’s rain. The Roman roofs were designed to allow rain water to fall into a pool in the middle of the atrium. These pools were connected to other pools in other houses, allowing for water to flow to houses that didn’t have atriums, bringing fresh water to the entire town.

Lionsgate is just going to get worse, based on the news that they’re looking at AI for creating storyboards, removing that avenue of creativity and funneling it into a system of mediocrity that the entire rest of the production is then based on.
