Everyone knows that foods are extended along the axis with a circular cross section.

i.e., burgers stack higher, hot dogs grow longer.

Ironically, billionaires probably do worry about money a lot. Just not in the same way everyone else does.

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Also, sliding around pretending to ice skate.

They do pay for their power. The bill would require them to pay for grid upgrades that their usage makes necessary.

I’m curious how it’s considered a “layoff” if it’s based on performance rather than the job itself being eliminated.

Insurrection is weird because it’s a Star Trek movie whose message is apparently anti-tech and anti-exploration. They should have called it Star Trek: The Amish Country.

Break its legs!

It’s bringing love, don’t let it get away!

Scotty: This is the commander of the U.S.S. Enterprise. All cities and installations on Eminiar VII have been located, identified, and fed into our fire control system. In one hour and forty-five minutes, the entire inhabited surface of your planet will be destroyed. You have that long to surrender your hostages. [dramatic music]

Bonus moment, DS9:

unnamed extra: The Federation fleet has surrounded the planet.

Random one-episode extra got the best line in the whole fricken franchise.

These are Klingons we’re talking about.

Case/chasis: 15 years and counting

Motherboard/CPU: ~5 years (currently: 6.5 years)

RAM: ~2 years until maxed out (currently: maxed out)

GPU: ~3-6 years (currently: 3 years)

I had hoped to do a new build last year, but it’s just too expensive. For now I’m planning to use what I have until it breaks.

In Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, there are terminals scattered around to restore your health, shield, ammo, etc. Each terminal restores one of these to a max of 100 health/shield or 300 ammo.

Then there’s the terminal just before the final boss fight that maxes everything to 999. Bricks were shat when first I saw that.

Whenever guillotines are brought up I like to point out that ~90% of the people guillotined during the French Revolution were regular commoners. And the last guy to be guillotined was the guy who had been in charge of deciding who to guillotine next.

political dissatisfaction

By framing it as mere “political dissatisfaction”, the author inadvertently exposes their ulterior motive. The discussion is actually about whether Trump is in his right mind.

Fun fact: no member of the Supreme Court was willing to sign their name to the Bush v. Gore decision. It was instead issued per curiam, “by the court” itself.
