haywire

That message is that Trump doesn’t have the balls to stop them.

I have no idea what the best solution is in the long term, short term though the war needs to be stopped, Russia needs to go back across its border and stay there in my opinion.

So the new guy gets sacked because a car went missing on his watch?

There’s a lot of episodes that only have impact of you are invested in the characters. Some are or self contained so could be worth a watch but it depends on the audience.

If anyone that likes sci-fi asks me I always say DS9. It has plot arcs and characters that grow, also a few silly and not so good bits but it stands up.

If they like that or like something similar like Stargate, seaquest, farscape or Sliders then we can find something for them, if they haven’t really tried sci-fi then you could do worse than strange new worlds within Trek or commit and try The Expanse for some modern sci-fi that kicks ass.

I wonder if this seemingly minor thing screwed someone over. Guy comes back to where car was, it’s gone. He misses some important family event or can’t pick his kid up. His insurance skyrockets, he’s now broke and has no idea some greater good future person stole his truck.

I don’t remember the specific instances in question, they may have compensated for the theft in some way but the knock on effects could still happen.

/tldr over thought it, move along

What if your PC has no camera?

Never been able to track down how on my redmi note 9 pro, annoys the crap out of me when I’m driving and the music suddenly goes quiet.

It sounds like you cherry picked some research that supported the theory you had already decided was the only truth and we’re then upset when people called you out on it.

I have no idea which side of the imaginary fence you have decided you are on but vaccines have been a net positive for the world. Eliminating some pretty horrible diseases for so long people have forgotten how bad they are.

Do some have a reaction to them? Probably, some people have reactions to nuts, shellfish, fabric softener and so on so there are bound to be a small number that have a reaction to it. What science does is try to learn from that and find a way to minimise the risk. Spreading polarised misinformation as fact doesn’t help anyone, there are people a lot smarter than me working their asses off to fix things I will never understand, and I’m fine with that.

Do they need to be separate logins if they are to access the same files and connected device(s)?

Just a Machine01 account with access to a shared drive or OneDrive for backup would do it wouldn’t it?

If the machine is only used locally then limit it’s access to the internet so people have to actually login to access/download anything and treat it as part of the equipment it’s attached to.

Closest thing I can think of to that would be Destiny 2.

Normal Strikes and patrols in the open world you can shake off most incoming damage easily and leap about all over the place if you so desire.

Something looser like Borderlands 2 but cranked up and with crazier guns sounds fun though. There was a MOD for UT2K4 called Fraghouse or something like that that scratched that sort of itch for me way back. Install monster packs and run around like a lunatic killing waves of ridiculous creatures with redonkulous guns .

It’s the same with energy pricing, 15 different rates for the same gas and electricity just from one supplier. Half of them you aren’t eligible for for some reason but they won’t tell you outright you have to dig through the terms.

Then comparison sites appear to help, some suppliers aren’t on them “to keep pricing simple”, aaarrgghh.

It just means in most cases you end up paying too much for something and they make more money out of you.

Hi, have fun. Don’t forget to use a coaster on the good table and don’t feed the trolls if you find any.

What about the ‘American’ companies that plonked their headquarters in Ireland for tax purposes?

Surely that makes them Irish for tarrif purposes?

So many firms with different rules, seemingly a law unto themselves. No way to appeal when they know they are already right.

They should not be able to impose the levels of fines they try to now. They should be spot checked from time to time to ensure they have processes in place to deal with people fairly.

I can only imagine but doesn’t make it less true.

Looks a little like David Mitchell, the British comedian. That’s kinda scary in itself.

Came here to say just that. Mr CEO over not thinking this would happen is just detached from the world.

Lonely people aren’t lonely by choice a lot of the time, they just can’t find a place they fit in. You find out there is a place you can chat with “someone” that understands and that is all it takes.

I’ll go plain old paracetamol which works for me most of the time. If that fails then ibuprofen would be my next choice.

Didn’t The Incredibles have a backstory like that where supes are basically illegal after they caused too much collateral damage?

In the UK at least they’ll show a price then a member special price next to it, they used to have a while section of them in the catalogue they sent out each month.

Other items list prices then special discounts at the till for members.

Costco? The members price when you have to be a member to shop there?

Always thought that was weird.
