And then you piss somebody off for not doing anything.

Right or wrong, a president can’t skip debates.

Why not? There is no law requiring participation to be on the ballot. Strategically its a bad move. Morally it's a bad move.

m a huge trek nerd so this place is basically like A Little Piece of Heaven.

That's pretty much exactly how I feel about it top. It's very refreshing.

m slowly getting my wife into it, but she’s still learning the basics so it’s great to have a place to read and discuss the finer points.

Same. We are currently wrapping up TNG season 1, but we are certainly getting through it, and she loves it enough to keep going which is great.

I usually keep the star trek conversations to my star trek account though.

Like how much RICK FUCKING BERMAN sucks ass, and how Captain Jellico may be a good starfleet captain but he’s still an asshole and not a great enterprise captain

I'll admit I'm not as familiar with the background stuff like that, but pretty much everything I hear about Berman is not good.

Idk why they thought I’d be dumb enough to believe them, considering they wanted me because of my test score.

I think therein lies your answer. Their own test scores were low enough to think you might eventually join.

This was years ago, not the current recruitment crisis.

But either way, I'm glad the latest generation isn't falling for it either.

Thank you for your take.

Completely unrelated to what you said, I appreciate seeing so many star trek fans around here. It really makes lemmy feel like a home.

Try to put Programs such as Firefox , emby in startup of linux

Ignore me if you're not still looking for solutions.

IIRC, some distros have a way to do this through the gui, some don't. I'm on LMDE, and it thankfully does have a gui to set startup programs.

But all distros should be able to do this. Here are some a common ways:

Instead of a complicated script, your command would literally just be "firefox", or "emby". You might need to search for what the command for a given program is.

It's nowhere near as simple as it should be, but it is certainly possible.

They sent a recruiter to my place of employment back when I was in retail. They asked me if I ever thought of joining the armed forces, and I gave them a polite but firm no.

So then they asked "are you happy with where your life is going?", trying to take advantage of me being a teenager stuck in retail.

Even if they werent asking you to throw your life away in some oil war to protect corporate interests, even if they weren't asking you to sell your morals away, they're aggressive assholes. So fuck them they're getting the treatment they deserve.

Nah, it was pragmatic. She was losing crew that couldn't really be replaced. And she was on the verge of losing a very important crew member, Tuvok.

She wasn't about to let that happen.

[Spoilers]

Act 3? The game bugged out in act 1 when Shadowheart tried to kill Lae'zel. It straight up didn't show us the cut screen of them fighting, and defaulted to Lae'zel dying when we failed to stop it in a cutscene we didn't get.

The end result being that Lae'zel just didn't interact with the party for a month, and then suddenly drop dead, bloody on the floor after a patch.

What a compelling argument you've made. Truly, emojis are the pinnacle of persuasion.

Or to put it another way:

Who protects you from danger?

It sure as shit ain't the cops, because most of the time they're only around after a murder/attack has happened, and even then it's not even a guarantee that they do something to help.

Investment into the community through education, social welfare programs, and gun control will always be better at reducing homicide than investment into an already militarized police force.

I mean, if you can’t fight and don’t own a gun then you’re at the mercy of cops to protect you

The chance of any bill passing is about 30% regardless of what level of public support it has.

The same is not true when you compare the chances to the support the rich have for a bill. When the rich support a bill its far more likely to pass. When the rich oppose a bill, it is far more likely to fail.

So it will be no surprise when this bill unfortunately fails.

Yeah. Luckily the work I am doing is to fix some really bad work that the entire company has been complaining about. So once it's fixed it will hopefully be a little bit more recognition than that. Plus my boss is pretty level headed.

But who fucking knows? There is always the likelihood that people will say things along those lines. And it ain't my job to fight them on that.

No, we have worse. Dates sometimes stored as strings, sometimes as datetimes, and sometimes as integers. There is no consistency, logic, or forethought to the schema.

It's rough.

At work, I am currently dealing with a table that has no primary key, no foreign key, duplicate (almost) serial numbers, booleans stored as strings, and so on. It's a nightmare of a table.

Entity framework is acting like I'm on meth for using such a table.

But don't you dare call them fascists.

And if your electricity isn’t sourced from renewables, you’re just kicking the problem down the road.

Partially. With the exception of maybe coal, fossil fuel energy plants are more carbon efficient than an internal combustion engine can be just due to difference in scale.

The better option is to have it powered through 100% renewable, but it isn't an automatic lost cause.
