I've never understood why gifting someone amputated reproductive organs is considered "romantic".

I thought it was a Buckaroo Banzai reference.

You already provide me with more entertainment value than Amazon Prime ever has.

What I'm hearing is that you're going to be consuming 20 lbs of food and drink as soon as you make it through customs.

Very generous of him to volunteer as owl tribute like that.

That commercial played so much throughout my childhood that it's permanently burned into my brain.

"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2° too warm.

I will never cease to be utterly baffled by the number of people who actively work to make the world and their own lives objectively worse.
And yeah, my list of garbage people and businesses to boycott is getting out of hand.

Makes me wonder if their sense of smell is gone from repeated covid infections or smoking or something. How can anyone stand bathing everything they own in perfume all the time?

I just finished doing that last month. Found some beef bullion from 2016 and a bottle of vanilla extract whose cap had rusted through so badly it looked like a salt shaker.

Waymo is owned by Google, so it's inevitable that they'll be thoroughly enshittified once they've achieved market dominance. That's just how capitalism works. But for now, they're better than human drivers, and far more ethical than exploiting gig workers like Uber or Lyft. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Yes, I know they're not ready for extreme environments yet, but they'll get there. I wanted to hate Waymo. I never expected them to be safe or reliable. I've looked at the data and used them a couple times. Better than any human taxi service I've ever used, and i don't have to talk to anyone.

I really should make the time to go hunting again, it seems like there's actually good new (to me) music to be found out there.

We got the "dystopian" part, but none of the upgrades that my aging body could really use.

I know things are a soul-crushing horror show right now, but I am grateful for your continued work.

The irony is, in the long run, the Federation learned more from the Borg than the Borg learned from them. Humans adapted even faster than the Borg did, largely due to their diversity fueling greater parallel creativity. If only there was a modern lesson to be learned there...

I don't remember what episode they first show it, but Data was in charge of the 3rd watch shift on a daily basis.

I'm convinced that Barclay is how the producers saw all ST fans. We were supposed to identify with him since we couldn't possibly identify with any of the other characters, being so uncool and pathetic as we must be.

I've had them go from "arriving today" to "in transit somewhere in another state" to "arriving tomorrow", then "arriving today" the next day, to "arriving next week", and then "arriving today" the next day, then back to "in transit in another state" the next day, to "we missed you"

I am rapidly reaching the point where I'll just cancel my order entirely and buy from someone else if I see FedEx as the only shipping option. Unfortunately, many places don't tell you who's delivering until after you already completed the purchase.

ah, yeah, that might do it. I recently discovered that our decade+ year old TV is so old it can't display the POST from my previous motherboard. Nothing displays until it gets to windows.

out of curiosity, what video card do you have and what size power supply?

The Inflation Reduction Act really made life weird, because I kept overhearing people talk about how the IRA was benefiting people and they're really glad it exists, and I'm over here wondering how much of a U Turn the terrorist org must have made.
