Also transcribing small town council meetings so that reporters can stay up to date without having to listen to 6 hours of mind numbing nonsense debate about a park bench

I don’t like it, but YouTube family is by far the most bang for buck for our family in hours watched vs price.

And not having to watch any shitty ass ads on any YouTube client wherever I log in is amazing.

I live so far up north that in the winter the sun rises around noon and sets two hours later.

I literally could not care less which time zone I’m in, the position of the sun has zero effect on my life.

This is the way.

Step one: agree that fucking with the clocks is really stupid and codify it into law

Step two: start arguing about which time zone is the “right one”

If you try to do both at the same time, step two prevents both

Farscape has one of the best character arcs of all TV, Crichton going from a confused astronaut to a nervous wreck to badass is perfection

Yep, directed charge hung on there and you’re good

Shitty CI system

Directional charges are a thing

Bigger bridges have … crawlspaces you can set stuff in

So you’re saying they’ll Epstein him?

They’re 100% going scorched earth if China manages to make landfall

They’ll literally put the world to a post-apocalyptic state, we can’t get new chips for any electronics in quantity for a good half decade or more.

The sapper units train how to blow up every bridge in their deployment area. Sauce: was in one

Telegram has first party bot support, Signal doesn’t.

That’s the #1 reason I still have Telegram installed.

Let me have my own bot, officially, connected to Signal so I can do my nerdy automation shit through it and I’ll move over fully.

Please don’t link me any of the “just use a prepaid phone and…” hacks. I don’t want that, I want first party support.

People don’t read enough hard sci-fi, in a realistic space battle you use missiles and other projectiles because they don’t heat up your ship

If you have any kind of laser crap, you need to dissipate the heat and that requires surface area

And that surface area is an easy target for your enemy’s kinetics… take out the cooling system and everyone is cooked alive. Nice.

They also make the page slower in non-Chrome browsers like Safari and Firefox

“There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy” - Alfred Henry Lewis (1906)

And some of them are run by their parents

On purpose

Also the Mar-a-lago crowd doesn’t go for bikinis or revealing clothing, what gets the off is innocence

Putin being one, he can effectively use the whole Russian budget as his own piggy bank

Dude has a billion dollar Dacha protected by the best of the best of Russian military air defence and nobody bats an eye

The probability of him not doing some heinous shit behind closed doors is zero

DVDs are fine, but the subtitles look god-awful - and they’re bitmaps so there is no easy way to make them not suck

My Matrix DVD I bought brand new still works just fine.

But rot is real, but also highly situational
