This is amazing.

Not if you modulate the warp field dynamics with an inverted neutrino beam. Hmph someone clearly didn’t pay attention in Professor O’Brien’s Warp Field Theory class at the academy.

Congress. The place where they’ll take even more money out of the abysmally underfunded education, nutrition and child care programs, and send them to a single overbudget gross expenditure in who-the-fuck-knows.

But right now it’s the god damn useless House. Before it was McConnell’s Senate treachery. The legislative branch would work wonders if both houses were blue.

Pffft. Who needs an owners manual when you have red shirts to sacrifice while you learn?

Well…his path is one of great sorrow, y’know?

Having just rewatched DS9 for the Nth time (wife’s first), it still really pisses me off how they offed her. Man I missed Jadzia in S7.

I don’t run VPNs at the router level. The speed and latency hit, plus the spambot triggers aren’t worth it for me. This is purely a non-privacy minded preference, mind you, and I’m totally not an expert.

You bring up a good point though. Regardless of what’s running upstream, if my device is running private relay, it all gets bypassed. So I have to disable private relay.

My preference is to run nextdns over DoH, AdGuard locally on iOS + Stop the Madness, and a VPN when I’m feeling sheepish.

On iOS, I’ve tried quite a few combinations and I’ve gotten feedback from users with others.

When I ran pi-hole or AdGuard home, I also used AdGuard on all my iOS devices - both the DNS pseudo-VPN and safari extensions cause otherwise ads would sneak in. The Adguard app removes the annoying ads from Apple News and NYT apps.

Now I just use NextDNS and the same AdGuard iOS app setup.

**long neglected because of monetary incentivization (aka corporate greed), a bias towards subscriptions and microtransactions.

Now do it with yoga pants…

Speaking of. On an off chance, I went to BK a few days ago and got a Whopper. Like $12 for the meal, and just like the other fast food chains, the patty was so thin I couldn’t taste anything besides the bun, ketchup and mayo.

Pretty much cured me of any further fast food spending. What a scam!

Now that I think about it, it’s like The Matrix but way before The Matrix.

🤯 you just blew my mind with that possibility.

When I put the pop-up stopper in, the drain flows much slower than without it. And! Without the pop-up stopper installed, I’ve never had the smell or slime. I hadn’t put two and two together.

I guess what threw me is that it’s happened with two separate (but similar) drain assemblies. Maybe I’ll try installing a grid style assembly. That might do the trick.

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to solve this mystery for well over a year.

There was a while where I was really hopeful Apple would buy Paramount. Seemed like a good fit and I think Apple would do ST right.

Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that Paramount wanted to dump Trek? Isn’t that why Prodigy is on Netflix?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for more Trek (nu-trek?) but I’m terrified they’ll spread the IP thin like Disney did SW. I guess SNW is the only episodic live-action series we’ll be getting.

I used perplexity pretty exclusively for a while. Especially for work. Both have their place and use cases but when I’m looking for something truly specific or nuanced, it’s DDG and a manual search.

I know there are a few companies working on DNA storage. From the comment below about the entirety of Wikipedia and Wiki Commons, I’d say that’d be a pretty practical thing to store.

Here’s the wiki article about it.

So I have to upgrade my NAS again, ay?

Took me a few reads but I fixed my error. This clearly wouldn’t happen if I were Vulcan or Romulan.

Come to think of it, an episode about a typo would be onpoint for Lower Decks and Boimler.

The rabbit hole you’ve sent me down by showing me that site! Thanks!!
