  Holy shit thank you. I'm always in the car or somewhere where you can't just casually look something like that up, and by the time I get home I forget. Also the whole feeling awkward about looking it up. It seems like one of those oddly specific things where you kinda have to already know what it is to ask about it (if that makes sense), so it seems suspicious to be asking questions about it

  The Protocols of the Elders of Zion

  Every so often, Robert Evans from Behind the Bastards mentions this. I want to know what it is so badly, but also don't want that shit in my search history

  I have a USB-C cable that will only work in a specific orientation. So I'll plug in a device, laptop won't recognize it, (sigh) unplug and flip the cable, and then everything works.

  They sync (via wire or wirelessly) to a smartphone app that offers a pass-through toggle to pipe speech through the phone’s speaker — minimizing the need to remove the mask

  I want to pipe this through a voice changer so I can sound like Darth Vader to anyone I talk to.

  Yeah, he's got Minnesota in there but totally left out Megasota

  Two Tennessees, but no nineessee

  Texoklahoma is up by Midsouthdakota?

  North-West Virginia isn't even a thing no matter what those weirdos say

  It's got the state we all agreed doesn't exist?

  People need to reject the idea that "bigger number = better service". The big players like that line of thinking because it cements their role of dominance and discourages competition. The fediverse will never be as big as Meta and it's all the better for it. IDK about others but I prefer a small, active userbase with interests similar to my own over an ocean of crap

  Lower Decks did, in one of the earlier seasons. The episode with the visiting drill instructor Tendi has a test where she has to give a Klingon an honorable death. She fails and her holo-assistants also fail to kill the Klingon because of all the backup organs

  Probably lived somewhere where driving was a regular highschool class. My school had that, and I think it was a sophomore level class. They scrapped it when I was a freshman though, so I never got to take it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, if you live somewhere with really high urban density and/or good public transit, there's a good chance a significant portion of that population has never bothered to learn to drive. So there's lots of people who've never needed to drive in their whole life who find themselves somewhere where you can't exist without a car. Bam, recipe for 25 year old student driver.

  If you think transporter room duty is boring, imagine being the poor ensign assigned to your deck's 2280's era dot-matrix printer in case the captain decides to switch it up. Actually, I think that would have potential to be a pretty good gag on Lower Decks

  I had a look as well, and that's gotta be 1995 dancing baby tier CGI. The effects department must be dusting off the old SGI indys because the budget clearly went to Bob's next yacht

  I think a good head cannon for this is that a mug is such a basic thing that you don't really need to keep re-inventing a new design from scratch. So when a new replicator system/technology comes out, you just port stuff over from the old one. Like maybe it's one of those patterns in the replicator database that just goes back eons to united earth or something.
