Did… Did you down vote your own comment? I’m still not sure how federated votes work, but for me on startrek.website it says 0 up 1 down.

My 4 month old laptop has hdmi on the back, ethernet on the left, four usb 3.whatever slots with two on each side, two USB c slots on the right side, and a microsd slot.

I think it even has a 3.5mm headset jack but I’d have to get out of bed to check. I don’t have any peripherals that use 3.5mm anymore though so it’s just a nice little bonus.

“general era of one’s birth” has a lot more impact on well… everything… About a person’s life Way more than “time of year”

You are way more likely to be similar to the people born in the 5-10 years around you than to people born 50 years prior but in the same month.

But hey, as long as it’s just for fun and you aren’t basing major life altering decisions on things… Why would I care if you like giggling at the little blurbs in newspapers about how ridiculous capricorns are when mars is in retrograde.

Oh man, Bunnicula was probably the first book I ever chose to read of my own free will, not because it was in my parents library, an assigned book, or gifted to me.

First grade me had no idea what choosing a book would do to your desire to read.

“I carried my equipment out to the car”

Vs

“I schlepped all my brothers’ crap out to the car again”

Having done exactly 0 research, I going to assume it’s one of those “DO NOT PRESS OKAY UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING” and someone went “pffft I know what I’m doing. click now what does this option do…”

If I die without saving someone else in the process I lose a bet.

And ma didn’t raise a loser.

I’m thinking of River Tam, from Firefly.

Whether she can or can’t do that is still debatable, but she did tell Jayne she could. And she can read minds, so it’s not entirely out of the question…

And she can kill you with her brain.

Can confirm, am man, have shaved legs and stubble sucks ass and pops up too often to bother.

Does feel nice when smooth though.

so I thought it was a real instrument

… It is a real instrument. Like over 5,000 years old.

It’s the “Burning other magic rocks” party.

It was actually XT-15 that started drawing on the next clone, he had a bit of a rebellious phase in the vat he never quite grew out of.

He just told 16 that it was tradition and his just faded over time. It’s not like the guy fresh out of the jar knows tattoos are permanent… Yet.

Bro, just let XT-24 have a break.

Just give him a tramp stamp. Maybe a butterfly.

There’s a reason every science team down there has someone carrying a gun.

They know what lies in the deep.

Sweet!

I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Damn, I already bought it!

… 13 years ago…

But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There’s a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.

If not well then I guess I can’t be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don’t have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words…

Personally I like “Shit tends to clump together.”

And “the turd doesn’t fall far from the asshole”

For OTHERS, yes. But many want the cutting edge for themselves, at no cost to themselves.
