It was two things, one just being fast warp, another being a different kind of warp drive that the Borg used.

The Excelsior used a different kind of warp drive. The Borg opened and traveled through “transwarp conduits.”

Makes me wonder why they didn’t make the ship strong enough that it was capable of sustaining 9.9.

They did; it’s called USS Voyager. Its maximum sustained speed was warp 9.975.

It’s not super obvious on-screen, but the Intrepid-class was considerably faster than even the Sovereign-class (Enterprise-E), let alone the older Galaxy-class (Enterprise-D).

It’s funny because it’s true (@ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works really does need 3-way switches for his application).

What I always heard is that it’s because oranges used to be seasonal: until the invention of reefers (refrigerated boxcars, not marijuana), they could only be shipped from Florida to the population centers up north without spoiling during the winter.

WTF, don’t they have a picket line to break or something?

There’s a YouTuber called NetworkChuck who has a few videos on hooking Home Assistant up to Ollama. Here’s the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvbVePuP7NY

(I find his style to be slightly bombastic and annoying, but the info seems good.)

I think that’s the point: it’s selling the notion that 2014 lonely dude missed his opportunity to be “normal people.”

(That wasn’t rhetorical, BTW. I have TP-link gear running OpenWRT and am wondering if I should be worried about it.)

Are TP link routers still untrustworthy after you’ve flashed OpenWRT on them?

67 YO in this world? Lol. Give capitalism another decade unfettered and male life expectancy will be in the 60s, guaranteed.

-life expectancy is already plummeting in the US vs. other countries

Despite our ridiculously unhealthy typical lifestyle, I’m pretty sure most of that decrease is still coming off the front-end (worsening infant mortality rates), not the back-end (adults not living as far into old age).

you deserve to live life without your brain forcing you to do things you don’t want to

Tell that to my boss.

and lead in specific is, for some reason, used in some older industrial spice grinders

Because lead is cheap and easy to cast, I bet.

Okay, so in Frosty The Snowman (1969) the answer is inconclusive – the hat is either always on his head or out of his possession entirely.

But in Frosty’s Winter Wonderland (1976), the kids make him a snow-wife and she comes alive through ‘the power of love’ when he hands her a bouquet of flowers he made out of snow. A short while later, he gets attacked and his hat gets blown off, but instead of getting the hat back his snow-wife makes a flower for him, sticks it in his buttonhole, and brings him back to life with ‘the power of love’ too. So, yeah: two sentient snowpeople, both hatless.

Yes, I’ve painted bicycles a few times. The first one, a '90s rigid MTB I was building up to be my “daily driver” utility bike, I took the frame to be professionally powder coated, which obviously worked great. The second one, a tandem, I spray-painted myself, which also worked fine but I haven’t really ridden it so can’t speak to the durability over time. Most recently, I tried spraying a frame with plasti-dip because I wanted it to be removable, but it turned out a little too removable: it didn’t hold up to being clamped in my work stand, so now I’ve got to re-do that tube.

Now you’ve got me thinking about re-watching the old Rankin & Bass movie to see if Frosty could canonically take his hat off and hold it in his hand without becoming inanimate. WTF is wrong with me.

Drones that weigh 0.55 pounds or more must be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration. If you buy a drone, you’re supposed to register it, and that puts the drone and your name into a Federal database.

Now that Ukraine has made it clear that drones are “arms,” the anti-gun-registration 2nd Amendment people are gonna get right on that, right?

…right?

Are the cheap drones really shooting people with bullets? I was under the impression they just had small explosives strapped to them and were single-use.

Because you associate cockney with cockeyed?
