Throw a dead horse into the mix and we have a party.
- Comment on Tea Time 1 week ago:
Yeah this. Biggest mistake most people that hate tea make is they dont bother learning that tea has specific temps for brewing depending on the leaves and that pouring boiling water off the stove on it will make most teas bitter.
Many teas are best at 85-90C, just off the boil.
- Comment on We need a larger one. Yes, for the last time. Pleeeeeeeeeease! 1 week ago:
We currently can’t block enough radiation to make space travel safe for humans in long term situations unless we are blessed with the calmest of space weather based on some recent news about the long term effects on the kidneys in the conditions of space travel (source, I believe the research still needs to be corroborated phys.org/…/2024-06-astronauts-kidneys-survive-rou… )
We’re still not at the Star Trek radiation screen level, unfortunately. So I’m not confident we can isolate this well enough. Earths magnetic field and atmosphere do a lot of work for us we still cannot replicate their function well enough to make it safe for humans long term. And this is a project that was put underground because it was more sensitive than humans.

What I see here is an intentional play on words and guess what? There literally is one Clam Meditation playlist.
I know the internet has dumbed down our humour senses with videos, but how does anyone look at this and not see it as an obvious and intentional dad joke?

GD I am just realizing how long its been since I did math in my head without a programming language…
I should take a math class again or something and refresh that knowledge.

Oh derp. Yep it is.
Was better when calcs had a +/- button.
And I remembered the math rule too.

Mull works well on android. Firefox login works too.

Not entirely. There is LibreWolf (Formerly IceWolf) on desktop. librewolf.net
Mull is apparently an Android option that’s also a fork, but I’m just installing it now, and can also say its only on FDroid.

It still irks me that the lumen level laws about headlights were circumvented by “unless installed from the dealer”
Bright lights mean higher contrast between the lights and everything else making it fucking impossible to see anything but the car ahead of you.

Gee thanks for reporting on the obvious, Jalponik.
We knew this. And even this whistleblower report is old.
What a garbage news outlet.
- Comment on Garashir is Canon (in the lower decks Mobile game at least) 6 months ago:
It’s a mobile game - basically a pay to win cookie clicker. It can be kind of enjoyable if you like cookie clickers.
But, no voices, minimal effort content in the game and extremely repetitive gameplay. I didn’t enjoy it but if you like repetitive cookie clickers the flavour text is occasionally enjoyable. This one example reference looks like a bit of fun.

I enjoy them all, but I definitely can’t put the use of a “cold fusion” bomb to freeze a volcano out of my mind.
That’s… Not how any of this works. In trek or out.

100%, it was a surprising and depressing realization when the recent updates forced me to take a good look at both ecosystems from the privacy, control and settings standpoints.
- Comment on Microsoft now thirstily injects a poll when you download Google Chrome 8 months ago:
I don’t want to use edge, but I do have to admit between Chrome and Edge, Edge has become the less evil. It respects the search and ad tracking opt out settings on your account, and doesn’t disable or cripple ad blockers. The “strict” account wide setting on Edge is so strict that sites will pop up asking you disable ad blockers even if you don’t have one.
This VS the current state of Chrome which undermines ad blocking, and forces you to opt out of ad tracking on every install of Chrome across all devices… Oh… But they’re going to enable ip masquing now… Because they don’t need your ip with all the identifiers they are injecting into your browser.
I hate MS… But the don’t be evil company has done a 180 in a rapid fashion over the last couple of years and sadly… MS is now the lesser of two evils.

I immediately thought of Pria as well. And to McFarlane’s credit, at first I was trying to remember which episode of trek that was.
