Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I've spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don't ask who what's in the pattern buffer.

  • Anyone miss all the colors?

  • I park next to an 80s beetle with over 350k on the odometer. My own truck is from the 90s with 280k.

    I work with a guy who daily drives his dad's old Mercedes. While he inherited it, it wasn't a "project car" or anything, it was a daily driver kept in good repair. Honestly, you put on a new clear coat, detail the interior? It feels no more than a few years old. 500k miles.

  • Fear and confusion in Nigerian village hit in US strike, as locals say no history of ISIS in area

    Jump

  • Whaaaaat? Are they suggesting the United States would ever do anything to harm people? People who have done nothing to deserve it, and certainly not to the united states?

    And then the US lied about it????

    Noooooooooo, that could never happen... repeatedly... throuought our entire history....

  • Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early

  • I've never heard a girl use those measurements.

    Women, however, use them frequently enough.

    Sorry for being pedantic but it rubs me the wrong way when people refer to women as "girls"

    Edit: Guess this part of lemmy is cool with infantilizing women. Didn't know people around here were cool with sharing traits with pedophiles, but here we are.

  • What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?

    People really don't seem to understand that in the electronics world, one single millimeter can make worlds of difference.

    You absolutely can cram so much more stuff in "dumber" electronics, but phones are even more constricted in design, because they need to send and receive signals of different types, so feedback and signal noise are concerns.

    Adding in even slightly more space allows for much better design, because you have more tolerances to reduce signal noise. It allows dozens of wires for camera sensors to route better. A 20% longer battery life. Heck, just being slightly more ergonomic and less droppable is a bonus to slightly thicker phones.

    I didn't even consider signal noise until I got into fpv drones and rc stuff, it can mame a ton of difference if you have a single wire 2mm out of place. (and crash your drone because the motor interfered with your antenna)

    Thiner≠better.

  • I love Yoko Ono because she trolled boomers so hard they're still mad about it 50 years later

    Jump

  • I make Yoko Ono-quality art every single day of my life.

    I just usually flush it, and haven't bothered trying to show other people since I was about 6.

  • Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is 'Domestic Terrorism'

    Jump

  • moronic straw man

    Lol. Pot meet kettle.

  • Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is 'Domestic Terrorism'

    Jump

  • They just want to whine about the US, they have no actual suggestions with merit and keep trying to dismiss any and all evidence that people are actually doing things.

    If they were talking about Ukraine, I'd assume they're a Russian bot.

  • Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is 'Domestic Terrorism'

    Jump

  • It seems like you want the entire country to openly go into civil war, while completely dismissing the actual things that are happening.

    So just someone who wants to get on the USA hate train.

    My dude, the hate train is going full steam and for many, too numerous to list reasons. you don't have to deny reality to try and make it seem worse.

  • I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

    Jump

  • That's fair.

  • Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?

    Jump

  • Of course, it doesn’t yet talk in Majel Barrett’s voice yet…

    That can be arranged. I've heard they recorded her saying a bunch of frequently used words/phrases, as well as phonetic sounds, so that her voice could be used in the future for the computer. I'm not sure how true that is, but I am a little afraid to look it up.

    I've always hoped to hear her in the new trek shows.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

    Jump

  • I think I've said this before to you a few weeks ago, and I totally understand that it's easier said than done to cut family off, but your family are negative influences in your life and on your psyche, and you should be ignoring their bullshit and get away from them.

    Sorry your family still sucks, all I can offer are platitudes I'm afraid.

    To answer your question though, I think a good, solid "Shit up, shit-bagel, you wouldn't have shit if it weren't for me and no amount of denial on your part can change facts." and walk away/block/slam the door.

  • I started out using PS but when they decided to be a subscription model, I started using GIMP.

    I can't stand trying to use photoshop anymore, and while I would love the user experience to be improved and the interface to be a little more intuitive, I've never been able to not do something I needed to do on gimp.

    Maybe my needs are more simple than a lot of people here, I'm definitely not a photographer so if you're using it often enough, I suppose it could be better to use photoshop.

  • The obvious choice is "don't buy tvs that might do this" but if you've already got one, open up the case, find the wifi antenna, and pull the little connection out.

  • How did you know

  • That feeling when you think maybe nobody is listening so you just trail off and not a single person notices/cares......

  • But God the father is NOT Jesus.

    Sorry but they're canonically the same AND separate.

  • This little light of mine...

    Jump

  • Well, you're not wrong.

    Maybe a little high at the time, but not wrong.

  • The old witch was lucky, I'll give her that

    Jump

  • I mean, I'm being completely serious, the human species is the worst thing to happen to every species currently living, including humanity.

    Unfortunately all the people who want to coexist in balance with nature would get caught up too, but they might have children who decide to ruin things again and the cycle continues.

    Indeed, it's a good thing I am not in charge of the planet.

  • What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom?

    Jump

  • I haven't made it past s3 of Quantum Leap yet, but the bit with god sound super dumb, so I'm hoping you're right and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    Krycek in X-Files was a piece of shit and I hated him. 10/10 performance from Nicolas Lea. Haven't finished the series yet.

    Damn, I keep burning myself out by binging a series and never finishing them...

    If you've got any sci-fi show hot takes, I'd love to hear them!
