Not to mention Trump’s “sharpie realignment” of Israel’s border during his last term. These people have rocks in their heads if they thought this was going to go any other way.

Yeah? Are more than 71 million people protesting? If so, where the fuck were you on Tuesday? And if not, well, I understand you don’t like the election result but this isn’t going to achieve anything.

Fuck, if only the road was clear BEFORE the election…

Assuming Trump is the turkey in this instance.

This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.

AI being pumped into everything. It drives me absolutely nuts that every fucking thing has to have AI. Now you can buy a laptop that uses AI to write an email, just so the receiver can use AI to summarise it. We’re going to start using computers to develop enormous amounts of crap before we finally realise that putting the effort into writing, reading, drawing, designing etc. is actually worthwhile. Don’t get me wrong, I see several use cases for AI where it’s very good, and studied genetic algorithms at uni (i.e. software that can rewrite itself given feedback on its output), but what is being pushed on us now will just encourage laziness and ultimately be a detriment to humans in general.

I feel that divergence is what made DS9 so good. Instead of travelling around exploring aliens, we’re stationary exploring ourselves and our politics. It was a great idea to make a show about a completely different aspect of Starfleet life. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the last great idea they had.

War always favours the incumbent at election time, so the cynic in me thinks the US is dragging its feet quite purposely.

*Sie. No wonder it doesn’t make sense.

Yes. That’s how proxies work.

I’m really hoping Quiet Game is a Bluey reference.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Except he was found in Pakistan, yes?

Alternatively, the same measurement is 752.5mm / 4 = 188.1mm, to a practical number of significant figures. No convertions between feet and inches (or ridiculous fractions of inches), and only one calculation.

Woodworking, sure. You have a piece of wood 2’ 5 5/8“ long that you need to cut into quarters. Can you calculate that in your head? Metric is SOOOO much easier.

Amon Göth. Such a good movie, but I just can’t see Liam Neeson in any other role - especially “tough guy” roles - after watching it.

They said £650k, so roughly equal to $820k

Vaccines will give you autism, microchips, actual diseases etc. It’s one of the best medical breakthroughs in history and we have idiots ruining it.

Is that the Behind The Bastards Robert Evans? Love his work.

You guys are awesome. I’m still a total noob at this so I’ve written a bash script to do the mount with all the vfs options I want (just so I don’t have to type it all out every time). One day I’ll figure out how to include it in fstab or systemd but for now it works. Thanks for the help!
