That's how it used to be. You asked questions to people who were believed to be wise, and then their answer was what the truth was. And most of the things we "knew" were just wrong.
Not that it's less complicated now...

Love the creativity here. This is the kind of stuff I hope to see more of on lemmy

If you're looking for anti-neuclear skeptics and fear mongering, I don't think this is any more the place than reddit was. I hope rather than seeking out those echo chambers you look into this a bit more. I don't have any good stuff to link you too off the top of my head, but maybe someone else in the comments will

I was a fan of the version with the tricolor, but I think this interpretation actually makes me okay with the one they adopted

SFO was my first thought too. It's usually not quite this well timed in my experience; this is still a cool shot to catch.

I've actually never played any Star Trek games before - I think the closest I've gotten is Stellaris, which definitely made me think of star trek. I don't know if that disqualifies me, but I might pick this game up anyways, sounds like a good time right now.

My c++ is pretty rusty, but I hopped through the changelogs. I think this is the source for it here https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/components/antitracking/URLQueryStringStripper.cpp

I agree with what other people have said about using the command line more and the gui less, that will make you have to learn about utils like find, grep, sed, and maybe awk.
Try learning vim (or emacs). Use some command like tools for stuff you'd do in the gui. Try some basic scripting for common tasks. Maybe write some short python/ruby scripts if you need them. I've found that writing code has given me a need for learning more about how the command line works, and other "power user" features.

I still have my Eee 901 sitting around with my collection of old tech. It actually booted up a couple years ago when I last checked it! Used the crap out of it back in college for computer science classes, since all I really needed was a terminal.

In a similar vein, I've been rewatching TNG and find myself thinking that they really should have put a cctv camera in engineering. Could have saved them a lot of trouble.

If the win is out of reach for me, I at least try and make them earn the rest of their victory. The more you make them have to actually work for it, the more they'll enjoy the win. I guess I kinda think of it like a D&D game where I'm the DM: now my job is to facilitate the other player(s) having fun.
Either that or I'll ask questions and try to learn, so I can come back stronger next time.

Their writing systems have their own cool histories. Japanese technically has 4 writing systems (kinda 5 if you count the original purely chinese-character based system). Korean used to have Hanja, a Chinese based system, but then some emperor just decided "nope, this sucks, I'm making a new thing", and came up with hangul. Imo hangul is one of the coolest systems out there.
Does anyone else have a bike that you look back more fondly on that it deserves? This was my first project bike. It was really beat up, and I made a lowball offer that the seller accepted. Oops, just bought a project! Redid the fork seals, the whole braking system, chain and sprockets, tires... But there were still even more problems than I had time for (paint, rust, fuelling weirdness, rear shock issues). I always wish I still had it until I remember how much more work it needed.
Of course people still have to bike through this zone, it's just that for now they're on the street. I guess all the other roads in the area aren't enough for the businesses.
It was too nice out *not* to ride, I had no choice. Was worried about the chips, but fortunately I had a bungie net. Those things are great!
The Himatic G is actually pretty fun for a simple camera, and takes good photos too
Taken with a Kodak VR35 K12, and Ultramax 400
On a work trip for 3 days, and brought 2 cameras and 2 rolls, 1 color 1 b&w. Wasn't going to load them till after going through airport security. Except my "to dev" backlog isn't very organized... Fortunately there's a local camera shop that sells film not far from my hotel.
He's the sweetest cat (and converted me to a cat lover). Someone actually gave him up, but now he has a great home.
Took the 101 up to enjoy the scenery. Was a great ride, longest I've done so far. I'm already itching to do another!
