Lots of scars on both these characters that you can’t see. Maybe the problem isn’t the people or the gender.

These JSON memes got me feeing like some junior dev out there is upset because they haven’t read and understood the docs.

The dismissal of a sexually selected trait just because it usually is far more pronounced in one sex than the other seems extemely premature to me.

I would argue chins are actually already quite different between the sexes - to the point where people will have surgery to change their appearance if their chin doesn’t conform to societal ideals.

Sexually selected trait seems like an avenue of research that shouldn’t be so easily dismissed.

Have you … ever watched Blade Runner?

The cars might be, but their weights are their weights and that is an apples to apples comparison in the context of

And now to make lighter EVs that don’t wear on the road so much.

🤷‍♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.

You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.

Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.

Maybe true, I don’t pay much attention. All I know is most studies and censuses I have seen show religious affiliation falling fairly rapidly.

🤷‍♂️

What would you think of someone who goes door to door trying to convince you a blubbery clown rules the universe from planet zebulon?

Is that a normal person just doing normal person things?

For the non-religious, there is no difference between the person above and a relgious believer.

I think it’s reasonable to ask why people still hold unfounded beliefs with the greater interconnectedness of the world making it pretty plain that not all these religions can be divinely inspired truth, so many of them are necessarily imaginary.

Nah, I like my community without the side of eternal suffering that so many religions like to threaten you with for varioua reasons.

I’d put my money on huge adoption of D&D in the utopian future before I put it on religion.

I have never experienced that in the various places in the US I have lived.

I have lived in an old building where the voltage could and would sometimes drop too much for modern electronics to handle. A power conditioner or UPS resolved that if you run into that particular problem.

I mean, yeah, but I grew up in the northeast. You get a power cut from storms, ice, winds taking branches down, etc. You would usually lose power for less than a day. This maybe happened once every couple years?

This was 30+ years ago for me now, but that kind of minor outage is almost unavoidable.

I’m not sure why Atlanta would have a harder time than upstate ny, but I am willing to believe you. Its just not been my experience anywhere I have lived (which has mostly been what you describe: above ground lines).

As a cishet white male who dislikes Voyager, I would absolutely have enjoyed a clueless straight Tom Paris trying to set gay Harry up.

Instead he turned into a fish and kidnapped Janeway to, and I will be very gracious to the writing staff here, have consensual offspring with her.

Why did I tell myself I needed to watch that show? Worst trek. 😢

Edit: Also, good on Kate Mulgrew for being way more Star Trek than most by advocating for inclusion. I do like Janeway.

🤷‍♂️

I will admit to not having lived in the south. Maybe things are that bad down there, based on what you’re saying.

Where do you live that this is happening?

I ask because this hasn’t been my experience ever in the US having lived in cities and states of various sizes.

I will believe there are problems some places in the US, but I would then ask: are you living in a similar area as you were in the EU in terms of population and income?

Thanks for this, one of the more interesting suggestions I have seen.

Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.

I will die on the Enterprise theme song hill.

It’s been a long way…

As someone who watched it with no nostalgia glasses: it is not good trek.

I can’t think of a really outstanding episode off the top of my head (maybe the Tuvix one? But even that is just … rough?). And there are some episodes in there that I actively dislike in a way I don’t with most of the other series.

I like Kate Mulgrew, she was a strong actor for the role and the theme is a banger, otherwise … meh.
