To actually answer your question, the base of the ship is from the Enterprise from Star Trek. Both it and the Millennium Falcon have a circular body, though the Falcon’s is notably less smooth. Everything else was taken from the Falcon and tossed on it to piss people off.
I’ll have to disagree with you. You could buy a lot of items cheaper than $1 for free (insert the I’ll take your entire stock meme here).
You might not be able to sell them on, but you can probably solve world hunger with it by just giving it away. And if you insist of seeing personal benefit: surely the positive karma you get with people could get you something in return. Also no one said anything about trading instead of selling :)
Yeah but you’ll get spoiled on every show you watch, instantly comprehend the utter bullshit of any flat earth video that gets recommended, and you’ll have seen so much celebrity worship.
having omnescience about a website implies you learn things that are on it instantly, which means a short rabbit hole of clicking on wiki links has the ability to earn you multiple degrees in a week if you’re smart enough to comperhand the topic (this said please don’t use wikipedia as your sole resource)
and there’s always the random article button if you run out of ideas of what to search
Yeah, and with the way social media works, there’s a decent chance that after establishing a pattern of being able to predict trends, you’ll be able to choose them. You don’t even have to be a social media manager to make money from that. Sell celebrity status. Or don’t when someone comes to you but you can’t predict them going viral.
Or on a different angle, you could predict stocks that are about to go viral. Depending on how far in advance, you’ll also be able to predict future events and things like election outcomes. If you use your power to become well known on social media and can get stuff about yourself trending, you’ll be able to predict your own life. And if you can set trends with self-fulfilling prophecies, you could start revolutions or bring down regimes (or at least generate popular opposition).
Yeah people are hopping on the Amazon one (which isn’t a bad choice) but predicting the future of trends like that is powerful. Especially once you become accustomed to it and can capitalize on them
Not a dad but heavily into the Makita gang. As a German I should be into Hilti or Metabo but Makita just hits the sweetspot of quality and pricing for me.
Only issue with Makita is s their battery tech hasnt caught up with everyone else. They seem to have forgotten their 18 volt line in favor of their 36 volt.
I landed in DeWalt when their cordless devices became as good as/better than corded tools; I standardized on their battery platform only for them to abandon my battery and roll out a new (incompatible) one. Shortly thereafter my batteries bricked and it seems the business model is to force consumers to buy new tools every so often
FML I hate it that they’re all proprietary and incompatible
I know cords are a bit of a pain, but rotating batteries and keeping them charged is also a bit of a pain, and at least the pain of cords ensures that you always have a tool to use when you need it. Also electrical outlets have been standardized for more than a century now.
Exactly. Cordless drills are super convenient and super cheap. For anything more heavy duty than that, I want something corded (which usually has the added advantage of being both cheaper and available in good condition second-hand).
You can buy adapters for literally any battery to any other battery type. They’re all over Etsy and Amazon. Torque test channel even does a test to see how much performance you lose from them, along with building a monster battery pack that uses all the brands batteries at the same time.
Project Farm on YouTube has great tests and reviews of products like this. Fully recommend his channel if you are in the market to buy tools or tool adjacent products.
This is one of the worst quality videos I’ve watched til the end. Just about enough pixels to make out that I’m looking at some cars, but whoever was recording must have been as drunk as whoever was driving because they couldn’t even point the camera at the car half the time!
I strongly want to erase the idea that soda is the beverage of gamers. Nerds are getting older now. We need to think about our blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and arthritis.
Tea, (unsweetened) coffee, and green smoothies are now the official drinks of gamers.
Although my country has very strict demands on tap water quality, my wife worked at a local water department and I know what kind of fuck-ups are working there, so I’m gonna pass.
