marcos,

So, you play with the Federation Humans?

marcos,

Those things behind it are also totally not vacuum bag pumps.

marcos,

Something, yes. That specific thing you are going to ask, no.

marcos,

You can see the sky, and the sky is beautiful. Why would you care about an ugly road or NSFL gore in front of your car?

marcos,

Looks like the obvious thing to do with them.

marcos,

As soon as everybody is speaking it, the word itself is already meaningless and the context has all the information. So, yeah, ignoring it is quite efficient.

Anyway, I suspect that when you notice those things happening, it already means that you are old.

They are 35 years model, with a measurable age of 35 years. But the researchers actually got brand new products, of current models from the store yesterday.

Hum… I have a 75MJ varistor on each phase of the main wiring of my house. Those are not fuses (because fuses don’t have a total energy specification) but I can certainly get a few more for the Enterprise it they want.

marcos,

Yes, I’m sure. I used to have 5MJ ones, but one burned down once. So I got the large ones. AFAIK, they are the largest that will fit 1 unity in a DIM panel. It’s supposed to change phases more than once if it receives that kind of abuse, but keep safely conducting electricity all the way.

It’s a common component around lightning protection. You’d want something better to actually deal with the lightning if your network is unprotected (there are plenty of options), but mine is protected.

marcos,

I don’t know about you people, but personally, I always write programs at work by removing boards from my computer and plugging them in a different order.

marcos,

Well, it really wasn’t. You’d program by punching the cards, and then insert them into the computer. If they brought the boards from a terminal (or replicator), and switched the old ones to the new ones, the entire thing would make sense.

It’s a bit similar to how people programed analogical computers at the 50s. But it’s actually a lot like programing old sewing machines. The thing those have in common is that their programs were always an order of magnitude smaller than this comment.

marcos,

That “forward” would be upwards? In does that people acknowledge relativity, but won’t accept geometry or gravitation?

marcos,

Or to have completely reasonable responses to anything that happens on Voyager.

marcos,

People insist on making Janeway do those crazy stunts… Just remember that it wasn’t her that created a fleet or Von Neumann probes programed to act as space mines.

marcos,

Bars and churches often do sneak up on neighborhoods.

marcos,

The old ones are usually not loud either. The loud ones tend to open and close often.

marcos,

I imagine it’s “regional” by the meaning that entire countries have them behaving in a similar way, but it’s different from one country to another.

Anyway, I live in a 60 years-old city, so there are no centenary churches here :) yet they are still mostly older than the average for my country. There are entirely pop-up denominations that appear, annoy the hell out of friends and relatives that I have in other cities, then close down and disappear so that nobody remember their names anymore.

marcos,

You don’t have to go very far. There’s an episode on Discovery where Pike just goes and say something like “Enough with the problems with holograms! From now on the Enterprise will have only flat screens!”

marcos,

It looks much more like a joke. A more veiled version of the Lower Decks people referring to the Kirk’s Enterprise as TOS.

And, honestly, I can’t understand an implicit “sorry” there at all. It sounds much more like “fuck the purists, our ship is going to look good”.

marcos,

and doesn’t view your private data and uploads it to the cloud

Oh, someone didn’t read their OS’s privacy policy…

marcos,

I’m surprised you have more upvotes than downvotes, but yeah, this is a comment that I would expect to get lots and lots of votes.

marcos,

They all run Syncthing and KDE Connect. What more interoperability you could expect is probably about things those devices won’t even allow you to do.

marcos,

It was pushed way too soon. It’s just not too soon anymore, that’s why everybody is moving now.

marcos,

Trust the author? Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how many dumb mistakes I’ve caught the author doing?
