when i was about 10 or so we moved to a new neighborhood. obviously that meant exploring the new area, and making new friends. the first people i met in that area lived down the road from me. two of my new friends were brothers, one a bit older than the other, both several years older than me. they had a neighbor, who was my age, and we attended 3rd grade together.

the older brother was a bit wiser and kinder, the younger brother could be a bit bullheaded at times. when i was about 15, i left to live with my dad. those 5 or so years seemed so incredibly formative on my upbringing, for good or bad. around that time the younger brother died in a car wreck, and i really hadn’t spent much time with them since i moved away.

to this day, i remember something the older brother taught me, which was to try to learn something new everyday. you won’t always succeed, but it’s still important to try.

i’m 40. the amount of time i lived there was really only about 1/8th of my life. but i still try to learn something new everyday.

most of the things they’re known for, they didn’t invent. but they’ve always been better at packaging these ideas and tech up, and marketing them well.

we really shouldn’t act like Texas was the only one doing that.

Poe’s Law in effect

but of course.

if they’re going to keep forgetting and doing the same shit, the people need to keep remembering and doing the same shit.

too bad OCP isn’t working on the project

it’s kind of like how Data and Lore’s retarded brother was called B-4.

beer goes in, piss comes out. you can’t explain that.

the whole point of having captains out in the black, is for them to make a judgement call on when the rules should be ignored.

Picard had a conversation with Data about this very thing, when Data went with his ‘gut’ to disobey a order.

aka The Motherfucking Kirk Maneuver.

Q is basically inflicted on humanity, the same way humanity is inflicted on the rest of the world.

same. there seems to be a lot of people that don’t realize some things don’t get done, not because they’re impossible, but because as soon as they do it a company will put a stop to it.

it’s like cracking a Xbox or something. the very next patch will render the method obsolete and nonviable. when i heard this workaround was coming for Android, my immediate reaction was how long it would last before Apple just changed something so that it doesn’t work.

nah, some of us were making fun of this moment even back then.

Tennessee

they had a tendency to overheat in hot conditions, and when stuck in traffic. this is because they need a certain amount of air flowing in order to cool properly.

they also weren’t very good for heat in the winter.

air cooling is a simpler system, and as such has less to go wrong with it. that doesn’t make it better or worse. there are pros and cons to both systems.

i mean, Which Side Are You On?

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

pretty much

one of my favorite jokes about this is on TNG. i think it’s the episode where the bridge gets cut off from the rest of the ship, and Troi is in charge of running the ship. O’Brian makes a comment to Ro about how you can’t ‘just reroute power from things’.

it’s a funny little nod from the writers.
