Just as an FYI, there’s a class of reconnaissance satellites which carry a 100m wide circular antenna. Those antennas, due to their size, almost certainly employ a similar construction to the solar sail. That’s nearly 85,000 sqft of foil already flying.

No seven-foot-plus person is normal.

It was probably 4GB, which is is the equivalent of a 32-bit number in binary. That’s the limit of the FAT32 format common at the time. That’s relevant because computers handle the question of “what is stored where” by assigning addresses using a number. Run out of numbers, and you run out of space. Even if your card…

Gene Roddenberry added godawful lyrics to the Star Trek theme solely to claim the royalties on it. He was petty and money grubbing like that.

That’s because it was a term invented by conservative talk radio to dismiss accusations of racism. “I’m not racist, I’m just politically incorrect. Aren’t I edgy? Defying social norms?” Nobody is actually pro-PC, that’s like referring to yourself as “pro-fetus murder”.

Most real murderous aristocrats just went into government and started wars. Serial killing is for the plebs.

This guy sciences. It’s a somewhat rare condition, and diet may (may!) cause a ~10% increase in cases of DCM. Which is bad, maybe, but not something that’s going to affect 99% of dogs out there.

We might be able to ID a Scotsman, but depending on how thick the Welshy-speak is we’ll either assume English or possibly some eastern Europeans from somewhere so deep behind the iron curtain they just realized the cold war is over.

Electric sharpeners, and a lesser extent manual-pull through devices, ruin knives. They just tear the edge up. Electrics have the lovely habit of also taking way more material off than is necessary.

My response would have been “sir, I’m coming from [random city half-way around the world where the time is after 5PM] and I’m still on their time.”

Archer is Aquaman. Pre-Mamoa Aquaman. Pre-Paul Dini Justice League cartoon Aquaman. You know which Aquaman I’m talking about. That one.

You may not get yacht money, but you’d probably get government funding and a Nobel prize if you can demonstrate efficacy. At that point, you could probably make a VERY nice living with all that “nonprofit” cancer fund money.

Disney is just the studio for Spider-Man. Sony still has the rights and distributes the movie. They’ve merely outsourced the production and cross-licensed some characters.

“Now the platform will “rank” comments to boost “relevant and quality comments.””

Yeah, but the whole point of Vanguard is “don’t care, buy everything”. They’re deliberately apolitical, and don’t even rock the boat when their reps have seats on a company’s board. Passive investing means not getting bogged down in that kind of stuff.

VW was *created* by the Nazis. Why do you think it’s called Volkswagen...people’s car? It’s literally named after Hitler’s plan to give every German family an affordable car.

I dunno. Saying the US was stolen from natives is like saying France was stolen from the Romans. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Andrew Jackson, but the conquest (which is what it was) of America is exactly as legitimate (or not) as any other country.

“No” means “no”. “Not here” means “no”. “No” means “rape” I mean, it’s sad as fuck I have to explain this to someone in 2019, but here we are.

1) Nah son. That scene was rapey as hell. You don’t need to “be in their heads” to create a scene that avoids that tone. Literally every Sean Connery-as-James Bond-seduction-by-sheer-manliness scene managed to stay on the “not rape” side of the line. You just have to direct appropriately and get the actors onboard…

Opera is still a Norwegian company and subject to Norwegian privacy laws. It’s in the T&C you agree to when to DL the thing. Doesn’t matter if the shell company is Chinese.
