  • I was about to buy some more ram as a little treat, but had to get thermal pads with my ram. HAD TO. They didn't fucking have thermal pads in stock early November, so I figured, hey, I'll tie it to a behavioural reward, I don't need the RAM badly. My computer works fine, it's just got some light overheating issues anyway. Maybe I'll get it december, or in the new year.

    FUCK ME. I didn't even put the termal pads back on after seeing that they didn't resolve my overheating issue. But the RAM certainly went through the fucking roof, even though it's Sodimm DDR4 for fucking laptops.

    I mean, it's just headroom, but I don't like sitting with just the OS (and some bg stuff, web browsing) running at 5.5/7.5 in use.

  • And then later in another hearing Bob Denver basically told a fangirling Gore “I’m glad you’re a fan but censoring music is bullshit. Now if you’ll excuse me I have a meeting with NASA.”

    The Krebs character, portrayed by actor Bob Denver, begins the series as a beatnik, with a goatee, "hip" (slang) language, and a generally unkempt, bohemian appearance

    The series inspired the creators of Scooby-Doo, whose four human characters were modeled from characters on the series, with Shaggy Rogers being inspired by Maynard.[5]

    ... Shaggy told Gore to get bent?

  • the same reason people use all purpose solutions, then constrain them to doing a small task instead of making a specific solution that has less capabilities.

    You produce the all purpose solution en masse, and that way, there's less steps to using that to do what you want compared to otherwise.

  • That might explain why there’s so much crap coming out of the gaming industry.

    not really, it's more of an economic situation instead of a tech one. Indie games are doing just fine, more or less (the choose 1 of 3 fad is a pain).

  • We don’t actually know what happened from after the Pegasus’ cloaking device was revealed, other than that Pressman and the rest of his crew were likely to face court martial (and Pressman had “high-up friends” in Starfleet). He was promoted to Admiral before it was exposed, and it’s unclear what he was promoted for, since he was already Admiral when he tried to get it back.

    Just a stickler here, he was made Admiral after the mutiny and whatnot during the first cloaking trials, which happened before the episode (and before he was made admiral), which caused the cover up discussed in the scene I linked.

    We don't know what happens to any of the plot points after Picard De-cloaks in front of the Romulans.

  • Fair observation, but from my perspective what differs between the Pegasus and Measure of a Man is that the problem in Pegasus was whole cloth institutional. I get what you are saying though, there were no existing legal frameworks for data to reside in that stopped him from even being considered in passing as property, which is bad. However, it seemed to be one guy that wanted to do that, and the trial was held to examine if that would be right or not, and to establish the legal precedent.

    Wheras with the Pegasus, the investigation disappears into a hole and not touched since. Instead of punishing Pressman, he gets made Admiral.

  • reminds me of the time I went on sabbatical just around the timeframe of the annual reviews.

    I went into the meeting with my manager, let him know I fixed the automations I committed to fixing, and that I wasn't coming back after my holiday, and that I was going on a sabbatical. His face was blank, silent and still for a bit, and felt like in his mind he had a stack of paper he was going to talk about, which he then threw into the air.

    Felt good man.
