That will depend on the atmosphere.

From that to a “functioning democracy” there’s a large distance. But yeah, it’s not completely disfunctional

Colonists get upset they haven’t seen the sky. So they go outside and then get upset that it’s full of hazardous gasses.

Well… Looks like real people. Do you get random virus strikes that require them not talking to each other too?

Less than half, because glass isn’t a great heat conductor.

You should look for semi-reflective or tinted glass if you want it to not let warmth pass in to your home. (And if you have double glasses, only the external one should be treated.)

The UV-blocking glasses will warm you less, but as you noticed, not enough to make a sensible difference. They add absorption of a very small band of light that isn’t the most intense on Sun-light and is also absorbed by the atmosphere.

I’ve pretty consistently seen the 1st level of management able to understand when you worked hard, and that it is not repeatable. Those problems tend to appear only when they report up what is happening.

What is to say that often (not always), you can be honest with your manager if both of you can keep a secret.

There’s the booty call, a random “snake! snake!”, the “somebody hold me! I’ll kill this guy!”… And the more social ones have quite a lot more.

A progress bar isn’t generally hard.

What is hard is making it move smoothly while still only incrementing and getting the correct time. But I don’t think there’s a single person that still cares about smoothness except for the very extreme cases. By now, everybody has learned they don’t work that way.

Anyway, about those extreme cases, just avoid filling the bar up to 99% on the first 10 seconds and leaving it there for the next 2 hours. Just do that and you’ll be already better than Microsoft, so nobody will complain.

IMO, Severance is even weirder.

On Fallout they can at least say to themselves that they wouldn’t nuke their city to get more power. But Severance is about exactly the kind of stuff that they do.

Is it missing an apostrophe and a dash? Or they registered the wrong name?

Anyway, the use of quotes seem to have backfired. I blame Excel.

I’m not sure I’d even trust a fully local open source one.

The issues about trusting hardware and software development tools all lead to problems here.

Oh, nice, Windows 11 will fix Teams!

The one problem with that is that I need to know I’m not being told about a meeting to take a print.

It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don’t have to attend them!

Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

Even if it’s bad, is there something you can do about the skull?

If not, don’t worry.

If you take a look at the more dangerous collateral effects… and correlate with the more dangerous COVID effects, you’ll have a surprise.

By itself, the drug is pretty safe.

You never go to a star. Not one episode.

Hum… I’m pretty sure TNG has a battle inside a star.

You would have to move them into some folder you are not syncing.

Nah, Bashir would devise a clever plan to everything work out just fine without people returning their carts.

Also, I’m pretty sure you got Garak wrong. He would promise never to return the cart, make a loud point about it for everybody, and insist on the subject every chance he gets. Just to covertly return it when nobody is looking because when Cardassia befriends the supermarket his people would benefit from the carts being correctly parked.

People publish their comics into platforms nowadays, and if the author uses an ad-blocker, they may not even know how the comics appear in a naive browser.

But, continuing there or not, the OP is well advised to install a blocker, just like everyone else. Both for information security reasons (many of those ads are nasty for your computer) as for personal health reasons (many of those ads are nasty for your brain). All of those being attacks that nobody ever consented to (as they are forced into you without a chance for you to consent).

And rest assured, all of that is only getting to become worse on the near future.
