Makes sense that ghost rider would be horny for a skellington.

Wait til you see what they have coming up next

Please! And make graphene compatible with older Razrs too.

They are pointing out in this article that the way that the problem is devised for the computer makes it basically already solved. The quantum computer get a list of all the factors and, after a bunch of hand waving, picks one. Something a vic20 an abacus and a dog can all do too.

Yes and as far as I can tell, they all have that as their system. Also the changing of the password every quarter which has proven to actually decrease password security and increase password reuse.

I should say, if anyone knows a bank with proper modern online security protocols I am willing to listen.

Fair point but I am not going to do all my shopping exclusively out of catalogs and mail in my payment with cash.

Its a shitty situation but short of government regulation (ha) nothing is going to change.

I appreciate the effort but my banking apps still rely on 2FA through SMS. They aren’t interested in implementing a technology that is more secure or even one that is different than what they have already, especially for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of their user base.

I justbwish that they would make the whole phone thicker to match the camera sticking out.

Put some more battery in there.

I would like to plug Mailo. Its explicitly privacy focused, has a free tier and even has child inboxes with more restrictions. Its like $75 per year and I have had nothing but great luck with it.

Kind of tastes like Sambuca to me, and then the aftertaste is so bitter it seems like you need to call poison control.

A FOSS lemmings clone.

I would say that a war like that suddenly coming up isn’t that insane. In the real world I think about Desert Storm.

Short armed conflict, lots of Americans and Iraqis died. Did it to fight a dictatorship. But 10 years later by it wasn’t a thing that just came up every day on the news. (Iraq 2 notwithstanding that suddenly made it all the more relevant). But my point is that there was a war in the 90s that affected a ton of people but after a while, it wasn’t constantly in everyone’s mind.

Is it a big change, absolutely. But so were the Klingons makeup in The Motion Picture, and the Klingons being good guys.

But if suddenly no women were allowed in starfleet or slavery was cool as long as its XYZ race, that would be a continuity change that affects the world not in a retconny way but in a way that fundamentally changes the kind of show that it is.

If you want to make a sci fi show where Earth has been taken over by sexist slavers to tell a very compelling and gritty story about human nature, maybe dont make a Star Trek show.

I guess I’m not sure what the title is getting at.

The article is about the first episode featuring the Cardassians and how they mention the Cardassian war that took place directly before the series currently in progress.

Honestly the point of the article seems to be that changing canon is secondary to telling a really compelling sci-fi allegory story.

A great way to not have to worry a lot about canon is to move far into the future or to go farther into the past.

I don’t really care if they introduce a new thing that wasn’t mentioned before, I get more grouchy about them introducing stuff that directly contradicts really important stuff established in the show. Like “turns out the paradise on earth was bullshit all along” for instance.

That’s what I think makes Star Trek unique. There are tons of other space laser shows, and lots of other moralistic scifi. What I like about Trek is that unless they are possessed by aliens, the crew of XYZ Starship are all incredibly competent at their jobs. And when they start acting stupid, 6 other crew members are immediately on it to pick up the slack.

The dream of Star Trek is working at a job where everyone you work with is ultra-qualified and hardworking. At least to me.

Ah! I’ll come in again.

First with Kirk and Spock yes. Pretty special indeed.

I don’t think they are supposed to taste bad. They are just an alternative to nicotine gum. You can get them at pharmacies. I don’t like the gum because it’s bright yellow and leaves little stains in my teeth so I got the lozenges this time instead.

They do taste absolutely terrible though. And yeah, cigarettes smell awful but for whatever reason, I like the taste of them. I quit those a long time ago specifically for the bad smell though.

Just quit nicotine again for the 3rd total time. Sucks a lot. And I feel like the nicotine pouches are significantly more addictive than cigarettes or tobacco ever were.

My secret this time was nicotine lozenges. They taste so terrible that it even overcame the positive association I have with nicotine. Good luck out there!
