Hmm. Why organize with those fiberoptic wires at all when all programming is done by organizing isolinear chips in a grid?

(Also, as easily as those chips pop out, every time the inertial dampeners fail just enough for the crew to feel hull damage but not enough to turn them to paste, they would all fall out and require Data to reorganize them.)

People cheer every time something they don’t like gets censored, and then scoff and tell you you are just pro whatever-that-thing-was when you tell them why that is dangerous. People want 1984 to come true with all their heart and believe that censorship will always go their way while it is going their way.

I’m not anti-AI at all, but their LLM definitely isn’t ready for the top of a google search as if it is real information. Of course, posting promoted search results at the top of the searches as if it was a real result already devalued them. They at least need the LLM result to be an opt-in option with caveats. I would probably opt-in but I would like off to be the default.

Really, allowing mods to permaban people in large major subs is worse than any of it. It gives those mods way too much power, and they mostly use it to ban opinions they don’t like.

I just updated through Ninite and it went to 8.8.9.

But… But… Um… “BoTh SiDeS” … there, take that logical and totally reasonable arguement.

I don’t hunt. I don’t even own a gun, but I know a lot of hunters. My office has random rifles lying around on a regular basis, and every inch of the conference room is full of various heads. I don’t think any of those hunters would like that attitude either. They are pretty careful about what they hunt.

I have been reading the Far Side for 40something years… I’ve probably seen this comic hundreds of times at least while looking through the books. I just realized that the kids didn’t break the window.

I never ran back to the couch so fast as when I went to make popcorn during my Enterprise binge and forgot to bring the remote with me.

I always wondered why there could be a shortage of coal and fossil fuel since it should be constantly made on various layers. Then I looked it up. Seems like that is all there will be in any quantity, especially for coal but also for fossil fuel though I have seen less about whether more fuel is being made by the biomass that falls in the ocean… I can’t find that information on a quick search when I’m supposed to be doing cad drawings right now … heh.

I would legitimately watch robot boxing.

I think that is coal. Almost all the coal in the world was made between 300 and 360 million years ago, between the times that the right plants showed up for coal production and the bacteria showed up to break them down too fast.

The wizards had indoor plumbing starting in the 1700s. Most of the world didn’t have indoor plumbing until the 1800s. It would be hard to read the books and not know Hogwarts had plumbing. Your bad example notwithstanding, yes the wizards are ignorant of a few things that make no sense even though they use magic for every mundane thing, and it makes less sense since children would have to completely rely on their parents for any magical utility until they were pretty much grown. It doesn’t take away from the story, but if she did the worldbuilding like Tolkien, she probably would have noticed this and made small adjustments.
