Huh…so we may fail to achieve faster than light (FTL) travel but we could probably manage faster than stick (FTS) travel

Have you considered joining the Ukrainian reserves?

On a serious note, I hate dis. I need complete certainty about my day and I hate surprises. My days all thankfully blend into each other and provided no outside interference happens, I know how my day will progress.

I’m ordering noodles for lunch and I’m going to watch squid games season 2; tomorrow I’m going to have Korean for lunch and will continue squid games season 2. Both nights I will eat chips and watch birdgirl. On Thursday I will have chicken and mushroom pie and watch squid games. What I choose to have for dinner will be what little chaos I allow in my life. I will also watch birdgirl.

World peace?

The enclave will be expecting it, and the Frank they’re sending ain’t the one from Philadelphia

In favor:

You can show off your cat (can’t personally attest as I despise pets, but others seem to enjoy them)

Isn’t it obvious? It’s ‘loo’; when you use this site you’re ‘going to the loo’.

My father also had a Seagate he kept old family photos on that just unexpectedly died. Their stuff is trash.

The three gorges dam has had an actual effect on the rotation of the earth (slowing it down by 0.06 seconds)

Touched a car cigarette lighter that I’d heated up myself while bored with the intent of just slipping a nail between the coils without skin contact and gave myself a new thumbprint.

Then I did that again a few years later.

Model 1914

Well there’s your problem; get a 2024 model

I told my lib colleague about how many software creators provide their stuff and its source code for free and he could barely get why; I also told him historically many nations just left their research and findings available publicly for people to learn from and he can’t grasp why that was either.

He does truly believe the profit motive is the only (best?) way to advance science.

Some Nvidia card back in the 90’s

Some random company that sells fruits overthrowing another country’s government; it’s so ludicrous I’d say it’s too silly to be the plot of a serious movie and like no no, actually this ludicrous story is actually real.

Drop a knife next to it and run like heck

Got to like third level once

I’ve no idea how I had so much tolerance back then for difficult games; I recall when I got a megadrive and only ever completed like 2-3 games because everything else was so monstrously difficult. I enjoyed a lot of the games I played back then but I’m much happier today for being able to have easy mode so I can actually the enjoy the game just like no-lifers.

Some kind of (Atari?) console that I think only had pong, or if it had other games I can’t remember them.

The first good games I played? Prince of Persia and Karateka on DOS, also mines of Titan but I had zero idea how to play that. Also word muncher; loved that game but I was a dumb kid and didn’t know the solutions many times. I also got an MSX keyboard and the little tape machine addon that somehow played video games off audio cassettes. I still have zero idea how you put video games on audio cassettes.

Meanwhile in the real world, people be like “what’s a linux?”

Plastic babies with poseable figures; you’ll be able to get them into any cool action pose for selfies!

That’s the kind of fun historical fact I like reading about, much like the stuff in the horrible histories books.

Stellaris but with first person aspects.
