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.

  • Rainbow Six Siege is under siege by hackers, Ubisoft forced to take all servers offline — players randomly received billions of credits, ultra-exclusive skins, and bans or unbans

  • Yeah, ruining play experiences by locking things behind paywalls is a terrible thing to do.

  • Honestly I've thought cm002 was a bot before as well, but they engage in comment sections often enough to say either it's not, or it's a user hopping on to check bot progress.

    Either way, most likely case is it's a user that saw a funny meme, and reposted it since not every sire is federated with others and some communities might not see it, especially if it's to a world or ml domain.

    Possibly related, I did not see your post from this morning, this is my first time seeing it. Not sure about federation between instances but yeah.

    Also tangentially related, anyone remember the huge r*ddit drama over a poweruser constantly reposting things with top comment responses to farm karma? That was a fun glance into people who take imaginary internet points too seriously. I'm glad lemmy doesn't keep track of total votes.

  • If they read comments instead of up voting and moving on with endless scrolling, they'd be very upset.

  • The food could have been given to someone hungry before it spoiled in the fridge.

    The furniture could have been given to someone else instead of tossing it for the newer model/different decor.

    My in-laws throw half-eaten food away every day. They redecorate for every season and usually only keep entire couches for 2-3 years. I'm assuming they're an extreme outlier, but I know plenty of people who toss food like it's fashionable to waste half your fridge every week, and get new furniture when I see nothing wrong with the old furniture.

    Too few are the type to get a new chair only when the old one has broken in half, and eat everything they made for lunch.

  • Trump urges Republicans to ditch filibuster rule in US Senate

  • Think of it like when you know you need to have the car keys taken from grandpa because he's an actual danger to himself and others.

    But it's easier said than done, especially when grandpa is surrounded by people who either refuse to acknowledge his bad driving, or actively encourage him to go out and drive.

    Also grandpa is armed and there's no guarantee that any of the people around him will stop him from shooting you and everyone in the neighborhood for trying.

    And don't forget that half your siblings are actively cheering grandpa on and calling you slurs for even suggesting something is wrong, and they are also armed and aching for an excuse to shoot you. Your own gun isn't much use since you aren't close to grandpa, and by yourself you can accomplish little to nothing, and you can't reliably call your saner siblings to help out without drawing grandpa's caregivers attention.

    The whole government is one giant dementia patient and needs to be burned to the ground so we can build something better, but there's no guarantee any of your siblings will make it or even be successful.

    Unrelated, my mental health is great these days.

  • 10 years ago you're absolutely correct.

    Now? Just one less barrier for fascists to do their thing.

  • In a way that will realistically never happen in such a large country that arms it's police like they're military.

    I'll happily arm up, call the people I train with, and get to work. unfortunately without large scale organization that simply isn't allowed by the alphabet squads because "domestic terrorism" or any number of made up bullshit claims (any leftist/progressive group. see also: black Panthers) the only thing that would result is 1-15 people dead in the street. Or more likely their beds, because they got raided at 2am and the cops just dropped grenades on their houses/apartments.

    I do love how much I've been seeing ".ca" users clearly advocating that the US go through another revolution/civil war/domestic disturbance that causes the deaths of thousands, if not millions.

  • Asking any AI on how to build a guillotine

  • I'd rather just use the internet and look around for an hour or two.

    Wastes way less water and power than asking a single question of an LLM and I'll have a much better idea of how to accomplish my goal.

  • "How much do you weigh?"

    If they get defensive, that tells you all you need to know.

    If it's simple curiosity, and actually about finding "the right one" then surely a simple question of weight wouldn't result in anything but a polite, if terse, response.

    I mean, it is about finding "the right one" isn't it? Surely both questions have merit and never result in hostility from either party.

    Whats the outer diameter of the circular end? And the inner diameter for the little hole in the middle?

  • I park next to an 80s beetle with over 350k on the odometer. My own truck is from the 90s with 280k.

    I work with a guy who daily drives his dad's old Mercedes. While he inherited it, it wasn't a "project car" or anything, it was a daily driver kept in good repair. Honestly, you put on a new clear coat, detail the interior? It feels no more than a few years old. 500k miles.

  • Whaaaaat? Are they suggesting the United States would ever do anything to harm people? People who have done nothing to deserve it, and certainly not to the united states?

    And then the US lied about it????

    Noooooooooo, that could never happen... repeatedly... throuought our entire history....

  • I've never heard a girl use those measurements.

    Women, however, use them frequently enough.

    Sorry for being pedantic but it rubs me the wrong way when people refer to women as "girls"

    Edit: Guess this part of lemmy is cool with infantilizing women. Didn't know people around here were cool with sharing traits with pedophiles, but here we are.

  • What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?

    People really don't seem to understand that in the electronics world, one single millimeter can make worlds of difference.

    You absolutely can cram so much more stuff in "dumber" electronics, but phones are even more constricted in design, because they need to send and receive signals of different types, so feedback and signal noise are concerns.

    Adding in even slightly more space allows for much better design, because you have more tolerances to reduce signal noise. It allows dozens of wires for camera sensors to route better. A 20% longer battery life. Heck, just being slightly more ergonomic and less droppable is a bonus to slightly thicker phones.

    I didn't even consider signal noise until I got into fpv drones and rc stuff, it can mame a ton of difference if you have a single wire 2mm out of place. (and crash your drone because the motor interfered with your antenna)

    Thiner≠better.
