Blue_Morpho,

I thought it was easy until my kids’ school system tried to do it.

The bus drivers all quit. The only reason they took the job was because it was early and they could start a 9-5 job after their bus drive.

After delays and rescheduling, many schools in the district now start earlier than they did before they tried to make them later.

Blue_Morpho,

I’d think Blu-ray m-disc would be a bit safer than a floppy that could have a bit flip from being too close to an iPhone (magsafe).

Blue_Morpho,

It’s an inanimate carbon rod. The hero of space.

Blue_Morpho,

I like the theory that it’s sent to the bridge to uplift the morale of the regular crew. They knew the officers will be the first to get blown up in any hostile encounter.

It keeps the captain in check if he knows he’s going to get a blown up console to the face instead of a lower deck red shirt dying .

When those protocols can’t be used like in landing parties, it’s the red shirts who die first.

Blue_Morpho,

Wife watches yt on Roku.

Blue_Morpho,

Pihole hasn’t blocked YouTube ads in years because the ads come from the same domain. And that’s not including the new crackdown that YouTube did on ad blocking.

Always burn data at lower speeds too, less errors.

I haven’t kept up with BR but with DVD, that wasn’t true. For a particular burner and media you could find a sweet spot of minimal PI/PO errors. For my 16x dvd burner with verbatim media, that was 4x speed.

Blue_Morpho,

Weird my post is gone.

I have azzo verbatims that were tested after burn for pi /po /pie errors that went bad after 15 years despite being stored in black cases in a temp controlled room. It’s not like the entire disc is gone but there are a few unrecoverable errors.

Blue_Morpho,

I didn’t even comment for a long time because of the requirement to use a real email instead of disposable. I didn’t even have a real email on Reddit and I created that account long after it was popular (but before they required real email accounts). Imo Lemmy cracked down on potential fake accounts too soon and it is costing them growth.

Registration, especially requiring legitimate credentials is a huge barrier for many people who would otherwise post.

Blue_Morpho,

Lemmy.world’s faq claims they will ban you when they eventually find out you used a service like that.

Blue_Morpho,

Morgana’s dragon.

Blue_Morpho,

He was such a a quitter. One suicide and he gave up. He just needed to jump back and give her a motivational speech when she was a child and presto! Timelord Victorious!

Blue_Morpho,

You need to broaden your perspective like when Riker commanded a Klingon ship.

Fighting is fun. Embrace your inner Klingon and tell those Disco lover/haters how horribly wrong they are!

Blue_Morpho,

Enterprise was great after they killed off Trip. TNG holodeck episodes are my favorite.

Now he has the ability to see time a little differently due to that DNA

Which is kind of weird given that DNA is carbon, hydrogen, etc, moving and forming bonds based on physics. It’s why folding at home can simulate proteins.

So anything DNA does can be simulated on a computer.

Blue_Morpho,

“Living” is a chemical process. Since Stamets was able to transfer the DNA into himself, he had identified the segments that coded the particular proteins.

Blue_Morpho,

Proteins that could not be adequately replicated by a computer

Yeah, but that requires a strange alternate future where computers are simultaneously both faster than today’s computers and also not any faster.

And yes the simulation needs a compatible physical interface.

Blue_Morpho,

living organic link

And you are ignoring my first post that said it’s just atoms moving and bonding. “Living” is only a chemical process. I believe it was Robert Hook who when looking at a living cell under the first microscope powerful enough, commented on his disappointment that “cells were just machinery”

Yes their simulation failed because somehow there computers aren’t any faster than today’s computers.

The writers knew it didn’t make any sense which is why they lampshaded it-

Stamets: “At the quantum level, there is no difference between biology and physics. No difference at all.”

Blue_Morpho, (edited )

despite the show emphatically saying that the simulations kept repeatedly failing.

Which I already said is odd because it means their computers aren’t any faster than today’s computers. If Disco was set in 2025, I could understand why they couldn’t simulate protein folding with enough accuracy. But this is set in the future where they can record every atom with such perfection (Heisenberg compensator) that every atom in a person’s DNA is routinely read, transported across thousands of miles and reconstructed perfectly.

The network required a living construct to engage with. I already said there would need to be a physical interface between the computer and the mycelial network.

You’re arguing in bad faith I had already addressed every point that you repeated. The only one ignoring what I wrote is you.

Don’t take Trek so seriously. It’s just a show. It’s ok to point out holes.

Blue_Morpho,

That didn’t stop Bashir’s parents. If regular parents can make it happen it for their below average child, a Dr Noonian Soong type will be all over it.
