The planet killer shot is bigger than a Borg cube. In a DVD scene where the Death Star fills the entire screen, a Borg cube would be 1 pixel.

Definitely a two parter.

If you go by the screenshots of the movie when it shot Alderaan, the laser blast would envelope the entire cube.

OnionOS changed my entire mindset about what a retro handheld should be. I have an Anbernic 351m, Retroid 3+, and now a mini.

The mini, despite being technically inferior is by far my favorite because of OnionOS. Being able to turn it on, have it start right where I left off, and then ignore it and it completely turns itself off- not sleep makes it so easy that I play it all the time.

Retroid means Android which means it sleeps instead of powering off. And fill power on is slow. And configuring a Game Front End is always extremely time consuming.

Onion just works. If they added a single Thumbstick to the Miyoo, it could handle N64 and I wouldn’t need anything else.

Lead acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate.

I certainly did. I clicked the archive link above and he’s a jerk.

Imo turbulence is “unsolved” in the same way the 3-Body problem is unsolved. It’s chaotic.

It was casual Friday.

I never claimed it was. But Java comes with its own baggage of Oracle shenanigans (they could start licensing drama with open source forks just like they did a few years ago) and java security patches means maintenance. All of which would be completely unnecessary if Ubiquity let you setup the AP with ssl.

The controller interface is amazing. But it, or a phone app should not be required to set up an AP.

The author came to the wrong conclusion. Yes the Supreme Court making themselves the authority on all federal policy will increase their case load. No, it does not mean they will actually need to do any more work. Cases will be backlogged for as long as they want.

Businesses can now dump toxic waste onto public lands knowing that they are safe from judgement for decades.

Does it actually work if it isn’t being recorded?

What stops police from ignoring you and telling the judge, “Yes he said I could come in and look around.”

Which is why I specifically said if everyone did it it would be a problem.

No, Pihole doesn’t help.

I think the reason you say you haven’t seen an ad on Windows is because the ads aren’t the traditional ads like you see on a webpage.

When someone talks about an ad on Windows, they are referring to the Spotify app presinstalled in the Start Menu, the OneDrive prompt for backing up during setup, and the weather bug on the taskbar that brings up news if you click it.

You might think that a weather widget isn’t an ad, but the idea is you click it, see a relevant news article, click the news article and you are taken to a traditional webpage with ads.

He talked about community trade so I’ll give him that. I don’t want to give the impression that his lifestyle of living with less is wrong or bad.

I only question his sustainability claims when he is clearing the forest to heat his house.

I carefully reread the transcript. They don’t say that anywhere.

He talks about sustainability. But if everyone lived sustainably like him the forest would be gone in a few years for firewood.

There are too many people.

I put it in quotes because I didn’t have a better word. If it’s a public park and I walk in with turf cutter, and take all the grass for my own yard, that’s clearly stealing from everyone.

How much can I take from a public forest without it being stealing? Can I cut down 1 tree for firewood? 10? How much foraging can I do before local wildlife is affected?

Last sentence:

“Forage for food and materials from their local forest.”

Talk about burying the lede. They can only function on a quarter acre by “stealing” from the public forests.

If everyone did that there would be no public forests. There’s not enough wood and food for everyone.

Did some Googling and found he was in a sketch in a 1994 episode of Saturday Night Live that was a TNG / Love boat crossover.

But I can’t find a clip on YouTube!

Ten Forward needs this!

My favorite role was Baron von Butcher.
