Right.

What they really want to say is “We aren’t interested in investigating your personal theft. Things get stolen all the time and we really can’t be bothered. You are not important to us.”

But they can’t say that, so they instead throw out some excuse that puts the onus back on the other person.

tiramichu,

A stream is a very different format for content, but that doesn’t necessarily make it worse - only different.

  1. As streams are live, anything could happen, so there’s the possibility for unexpected excitement and being a part of that as it happens
  2. Live chat can make a stream feel social and connected with other viewers
  3. Streams give you the ability to speak to the streamer and change the outcome of the stream

I think that the way people consume content has also changed. A lot of people watch streams “in the background” just as noise while they do other things, not in a way where they are giving the stream their 100% focus in the way you would with a short and well-edited video.

Vista was fine, apart from the performance. I had a fairly beefy machine for the time so I hardly noticed, but on lower spec machines it was an absolute dog.

Kinda felt like an unoptimised prerelease version of Windows 7

tiramichu,

The sixth, here-unnamed candle is “Sesame Seed Bun” for anyone else who can count and was wondering.

I work in IT and if you need to call someone when they are off, that’s a huge embarrassment.

Nothing should fall apart because one person on the team isn’t there. Nothing should ever be so critical that their absence is life and death. Never should there be a problem where only one person has the answers.

If you have to call someone when they’re off then you didn’t manage your team and their work properly, and you fucked up, big.

tiramichu,

Yep, and conversely someone is a “bus risk” if they are that single critical person.

I’ve done this occasionally with youtube reviews for tech purchases.

Seems illogical, to your point, as the purchase is already made, but I’m no longer looking at the reviews to make a decision.

I’m looking to:

A) Maybe find out some cool feature I didn’t know about, so I can get the most out of it

B) Get HYPE because I’m excited about it!

So not as illogical as it seems :)

tiramichu,

I think it does fit with Garak because it’s one of those things that is said very lighthearted in tone and with a smile, very obviously joking

… except with the tiniest of subtle doubts that he might not actually be joking after all

tiramichu, (edited )

I totally get your perspective on this, and I think your analysis is closer to Garak’s character. He was always very sly and subtle.

But the joke was funny so I’m happy to let it slide.

My interpretation wasn’t that he was going to kill a random person though, it would be more like this:

Words said: I am going to kill someone and it will be totally random

Interpretation: Garak is not going to kill anyone because he’s just a tailor and that was a joke

Reality: Garak maybe is going to kill someone but it won’t be random at all because this is an assassination

DS9 did leave the door open a lot of the time about whether Garak was still involved with the order or not so he does have that genuine air of mysterious uncertainty about him.

tiramichu,

What have you done

tiramichu,

Learning that ‘decoy’ comes from ‘duck cage’ is extremely interesting!
