- Comment on How Palm Springs learned to love its wind turbines | Despite initial local opposition, the turbines are now embraced as part of the city’s identity. 1 day ago:
And when it gets hot, you can run them in reverse and create a nice breeze.
- Comment on Top 50 news websites in the US in July: BBC drops five places as paywall introduced; Most report traffic declines. 4 days ago:
They repost news from other sites, much like yahoo. They’re really just a news aggregator/feed — no original reporting.
- Comment on Mexico launches 'Health Routes' to address medication shortages 4 days ago:
Mexico should be manufacturing these drugs so there isn’t a shortage. It creates jobs and is a national security issue. You can then export the drugs to other markets after the shortage is over.
- Comment on UK's third-largest steelworks collapses into government control 4 days ago:
How do you fuck up steel? Something every country needs for infrastructure and construction.
- Comment on Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty 4 days ago:
I wonder if Microsoft would say the same thing to China?
- Comment on England to sell eight times more council homes than it built last year, report finds 5 days ago:
True!
- Comment on England to sell eight times more council homes than it built last year, report finds 5 days ago:
Ugh. Brutalist architecture is the worst.
- Comment on Frances Ryan: Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why 6 days ago:
Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.
- Comment on Frances Ryan: Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why 6 days ago:
I have private insurance in the US. Trust me, it’s no faster after everything has gone private. The only difference is you pay two to three times as much, and end up saddled with medical debt. You should be thankful for NHS.
- Comment on Coding students whose jobs were taken by AI forced to find work at Chipotle 1 week ago:
If you have a degree, you can work somewhere else besides Chipotle. It might not be in the field of your major, but it will be better paying than fast food.
- Comment on Coding students whose jobs were taken by AI forced to find work at Chipotle 1 week ago:
Don’t believe everything you read in the NYPost.
- Comment on Jonathan Frakes Surprised ‘Strange New Worlds’ Star Trek Spoof Was Controversial; Talks Directing ‘Academy’ And More 1 week ago:
I think the only controversy is that this series spends too big a chunk on “silly” episodes like this. Puppets. Singing/dancing. Holodeck spoofs.
This would be fine if it were a 23 episode season. It’s 10.
- Comment on YSK: Almost every single new logo you see is ai slop 1 week ago:
- Comment on Simon Pegg Developed Star Trek Spinoff Movie About Jaylah; Wanted Archer’s Dog In ‘Beyond’ 1 week ago:
What would Archer be up to thirty or forty years after Enterprise, I wonder?
- Comment on Interview: ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Director Talks Challenges Of Shooting Kirk’s First Time In The Big Chair 1 week ago:
This show is hitting all the wrong notes for me. I don’t want to see Kirk’s early adventures — I want to see Pike and his crew. I especially don’t want to see Kirk portrayed by someone who looks and acts nothing like Kirk.
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 1 week ago:
I agree with you. Most energy comes from renewables these days, and your wi-fi usage is a negligible amount in the scale of things. How about going after corporate energy waste like AI instead?
- Comment on AI to cut paperwork to free up doctors’ time for patients 1 week ago:
Because why would you need accuracy in medical paperwork? Pshaw.
- Comment on David Ellison Shows Off His New Throne at Paramount, With ‘Top Gun 3,’ ‘Star Trek’ and ‘World War Z’ Called Priorities 1 week ago:
World War Z would make a great anthology series. We’ll probably just get another Brad Pitt movie that has nothing to do with the book instead.
- Comment on Why don't these AI data centers build by the ocean? 1 week ago:
Or build in cold climates where they could use geothermal for power and naturally cold air to bring the temps down.
I hear land in Detroit is cheap. As is Northern Canada.
- Comment on About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash 1 week ago:
Ok, I’ll bite. It just looks like another season of Discovery. Same look and feel, same era, many of the same cast members. And since I didn’t care for Discovery, I doubt I will care for this either.
I really wish SkyDance would bring in a new showrunner after this round of Star Trek programs is over.
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 2 weeks ago:
It’s strange that they go to this much effort to ban ad blockers. What’s the percentage of their user base watching on devices with ad blockers? I bet it’s low — especially when including smart tv viewers in those numbers.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
My deleted posts have stayed deleted so far.
- Comment on iRobot’s future isn’t looking up 2 weeks ago:
Should’ve enforced your patents.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Ha! That just means all the content deleted by users who left Reddit is actually inaccessible.
- Comment on Fans (and some Picard cast) won't let the Legacy concept die 2 weeks ago:
Shaw was a great character, so of course they killed him off.
- Comment on HBO Max’s Password-Sharing Crackdown Will Start in Earnest in September 2 weeks ago:
The new subscribers mostly came from emerging markets where Netflix is cheaper.
- Comment on Stunning new data reveals 140% layoff spike in July, with almost half connected to AI and 'technological updates' 2 weeks ago:
Next year — the summer of rehires after CEOs learn employees can’t really be replaced by AI.
- Comment on UN plastic pollution treaty talks floundering 2 weeks ago:
No great surprise. Plastics are a product of the very rich and powerful oil and gas industry. We’re not going to get a treaty until fifty years from now, after the problem has already been solved.
Meanwhile, progressive states and countries should be taxing the hell out of single-use plastics. That’s one strategy that actually makes an impact in the here and now.
- Comment on Watch This Documentary About 'Star Trek: Phase II' and See What Could've Been 2 weeks ago:
So glad they pivoted to making a movie instead. The budget was much larger and the art direction immensely helped the franchise going forward. Phase II sets and costumes looked like a cheap cosplay remake of TOS.
- Comment on What to watch next after ST: Voyager? 2 weeks ago:
Enterprise is good. Don’t skip it, just skip the intro song.
