Even a simple white pizza is amazing on its own if they have a good crust and they use good cheese. There was once a local place where I tried that and loved it, and it’s something I’d love to try again…if not for how badly dairy just fucks me up. I love getting fancy with ingredients, but sometimes less is more.

Presumably if they made a ship strong enough to sustain warp 9.9, it’d have a higher theoretical max speed along with it.

I am still watching through TNG for the first time, but the only instances I really recall it exceeding those numbers are when they had Dr. Kosinski and his traveler “assistant” performing a warp drive experiment which lasted a very brief time and yielded basically unproduceable results, and a couple instances of the ship being catapulted at impossible speeds by Q. The structure of the ship was fine in each instance, but the engine would have likely exploded if they tried to push it to those levels under normal circumstances.

Thank you

er, sorry

Care Thank you

Thank you is always the right answer.

I would have completely missed the joke if that circle wasn’t there.

It made me happy, and then sad at myself for having to question if this was AI generated or not.

I have so little trust these days, I had to watch it 15 times through to confirm that there was visual consistency with the background objects and therefore the video is probably real.

I see you are also a fan of 2022’s The Menu.

People love to use examples like MLK and Gandhi as the poster children for peaceful protest achieving results, and years ago I’d have naively agreed.

But the reality of it is that they could not have succeeded without the threat of violence from more militant alternatives, such as Malcolm X/The Black Panthers or the Ghadar revolutionaries/Babbar Akali Sikhs.

It’s the carrot-and-stick metaphor. The powers that be will ignore any nonviolent attempts for reform until a violent movement makes the nonviolent alternative more appealing.

Capitalism has long asserted that there are checks in place to protect people. Consumer protection laws, industry regulations, collective bargaining, and voting with your wallet are some of the myths that capitalism says are supposed to stop bad businesses from hurting people. But when we see these systems failing en masse, and the powers that be refuse to do anything about it, what recourse is left?

How can any of these policies gain traction in the wake of Salt Typhoon?

The drift is very real and inevitable. The joycons have such a high failure rate.

It’s hard to tell but he’s in one of Santa’s presents.

Stuart is also a juvenile whereas Remy is an adult. Not even a contest.

I’ve always hated that trope of a breathable atmosphere and people remove their helmets.

“This planet is capable of supporting life forms like me!”

“This planet is also capable of supporting fun new microbes that I have no immunities against!”

Just gotta be careful, a lot of them may still need magnets. Some trip the alarm if forced, while the magnet acts as both a disarm and a release.

Practically another form of modern-day slavery.

Don’t like your job and how much we pay you? Sure you can quit, but then it’s right back on the deported boat for you.

By the way I am going to need you to put in some weekend overtime. No we can’t pay, but if you want to keep your job…

They’re just admitting to what everyone else has been doing for years now.

I do live in a cool climate, though it’s not as though it stays cold all year. We still have hot summers, but even then I have never noticed this and I buy produce pretty often. Didn’t even know this sort of thing could occur for not-overripe fruit.
