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.
I had a target I would eat lunch at whenever a contract took me to the area, I could just walk over and get a personal pizza and drink.
Not anymore.
It’s getting harder to shop at places that don’t bend the knee.
Thats not a challenge to get more places to bend so we don’t have a choice, I would happily never spend money in the United States again if I could help it.
Good luck collecting blood from all these stones.
I’ll deal with it, but could you be a dear and come show me how, in person? And no need to bring any form of security, half the people on this street are former marines, specwar navy, an army Ranger, and about a dozen former national guard. They’ll all be here to ensure security of the country.
In my 30s
At this point my wife and I are considering buying property we can put a well and septic on, and park an rv.
Ah. Well that’s a relief, I removed foxit, and never had anything Adobe.
I open the pdfs in inkscape to pull the vector files and save them as an svg. There’s probably a simpler way, but this allows me to open the vector in a lot more programs like my laser software and my CAD programs.
The only pdfs that get printed like a normal person are small rc planes and the files are from trusted sources.
It’s nice to know I can do a little extra to protect myself from pdf based attacks though, thanks for the info!
Everyone, everywhere, has a duty to stop fascism and help their fellow man, regardless of what ultimately insignificant speck of a human decided to put a line on a map.
This is such a weird comment, full of “NiCd batteries aren’t good enough so solar/wind are useless because we can’t store the power” energy.
It’s a test reactor, it’s meant to be smaller than the “big boys”, and in a few years it’ll be smaller and more efficient.
Sure, it’s not going to singlehandedly power an entire country, but distributed power is better than localized. 1000 small reactors placed all over means less likelihood of system wide failure than a handful of large ones.
Must be nice.
It was.
In Ohio? I’m almost positive it isn’t legal. It’s definitely illegal in states like California. But they’re banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.
I doubt it’s a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.
As someone who vomits at a strong smell of alcohol and gets nauseous with any smell…
Fuckin wat
Alcohol is no more evil than table salt or the dirt beneath your feet.
Guess what! Everything you consume is slowly contributing to your ultimate fate.
If you want to pass on any consumption, cool. Good for you.
If you want to be a judgemental ass towards others, there’s the door. If it hits you in the ass on the way out, so be it.
Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.
Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.
I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.
Oddly, I did not get the job
Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.
Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.
A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.
I’m not sure how Canada feels about a foreign legion, but I’m willing to volunteer.
Note: this applies to any country the Orange Jackass threatens to invade.
But like… Organize first.
Otherwise you’re just a crazed lone gunman dead in the street.
If they all got their proper iron necktie, French revolution style, the only time they would be discussed is when you read another report that the lasting damage they caused has been repaired and the systems they tried to eradicate have been restored.
Well, I’m not a primary target, but if I see someone rolling up on my street trying to force people into a vehicle against their will, I’m definitely grabbing my rifle and preventing a kidnapping.
They may not be coming for me yet, but I sure as fuck am not waiting until they do.
Honestly I think they’re just waiting for people to fight back so they can justify lethal force from then on, “as a precaution”
It happens. I’ve definitely read a sentence, took it the wrong way, and only after rereading it later on (usually when someone responds to my comment) that I was incorrect.
I don’t see anyone shitting on younger generations.
All I see is someone expressing what many in the younger generation are feeling. Like everything the older generations faced is happening again. Like the world is on fire and everyone is pretending it’s fine. And they’re wondering why nobody is as concerned as they are.
In other words, “WTAF is going on?!?!”
I know for a fact I’m opinionated, and don’t have problems sharing them.
Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I’d rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they’re actively trying to make others miserable, but that’s a separate discussion)
The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.
And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I’ve hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.
