This isn’t a great argument. There is so much open undeveloped space in the US that could be used to house people. This interchange isn’t taking space away from anyone. There are lots of good reasons to reduce cars, but this isn’t one of them.

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

BradleyUffner,

One time I rebooted. The system never recovered.

BradleyUffner,

That’s just a mid-range setup. The real simmers have at least 3 monitors.

Truly the long game on that joke! Well done, ya got us.

BradleyUffner,

I wouldn’t tell them anything. Any changes they made to how I was raised would fundamentally change who and where I am now. While growing up was torture in many ways, it led me here, and I’m really happy with where I am now.

We told people to turn them off because it was just easier than trying to explain to them that they might have to restart individual programs if they bugged out. It was a simple way for people that didn’t understand computers to get everything back into a known state.

IE “have you tried turning it off and on again?”

The ban was retconned in during DS9 and doesn’t make much sense. They mess with people’s DNA all the time in TNG and no one bats an eye.

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

BradleyUffner,

Just a bit of a warning if you do this. Business class service usually requires full year contacts, and breaking the contract can mean THOUSANDS of dollars in termination fees depending on the timing.

BradleyUffner,

All I hear is “Stop liking what I don’t like!!!”

BradleyUffner,

Or we’ve evolved another finger since then! 😁

Why is no one mentioning Hue Hugh?

BradleyUffner,

I’m going to metagame this one and say “current events”.

BradleyUffner,

Add immortality and you’ve got Elantris.

My fiance is a professor and things I’ve heard about the last few years blow my mind. It’s not so much what they are doing exactly, but how shocked and offended they get if she asks them to stop.

BradleyUffner,

And get your login details stolen because they didn’t hah and salt passwords correctly when the site is almost immediately hacked.

BradleyUffner,

Pancakes, bumblebee, gazpacho soup

BradleyUffner,

Everyone seems to have a story like this, which makes me think that we might actually be just as loud as the people we complain about without realizing it. Think about it. It’s not like we can actually hear what we sound like from the floor below while we are “softly walking around” upstairs.

Why do people hate on mobile games, call them "not real games" and mock them, when some mobile-exclusive games are the best games I've played?

The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don’t even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do....

BradleyUffner,

The vast majority of mobile games are not designed to be good games. They are designed to be addictive vehicles for advertising and micro transactions.

BradleyUffner,

They get to pick which 20% of you to burn though.

BradleyUffner,

I still like Google in general. I don’t agree with everything they do, but in total I feel that I get more value from using their products than I would be able to get from other products. In my opinion, the minimal cost to my privacy is far outweighed by the value-add.

If that’s not true for others, I’m not going to give them a hard time about it. Use what you want to use.

BradleyUffner,

I used to refer to going to the gym as the “farm work simulator”. It always amazed me that society progressed to the point where physical labor isn’t necessary, but we chose to pay money, so that we can pretend to do it, in order to live longer
