  • I get it, but unlike reddit, there aren't a million other comments to sift through, and my other one is right there with this one at the bottom because a bunch of seriously humorless people jump to the conclusion that I'm a musk lover due to a off-handed quip about NACS ports on EVs.

    Granted, I'm serious in that it's infinitely better than the behemoth ridiculousness that is either CCS Combo 1 or 2, but this objective truth that is known by anyone that has used both, and has nothing to do with sucking the dick of a malignant narcissist. But I digress.

    People in lemmyshitpost are taking shit way too fucking seriously.

  • Violations of gag orders and contempt always feel infuriatingly "gradual" because usually people just STFU after the first one. Trump (as we all know) doesn't have the self control normal asshole defendants have. Give it another gag violation and this moron is gonna spend the night in jail, then we all get to see him without his daily hair routine. That shit scares him more than anything.

    Once Chutkan's gag goes back into effect, he'll be in jail quickly unless Kise or Lauro actually manage to get through his thick skull with an air hammer.

    E: Also getting the idea that Engoron is patient enough not to expand the gag order (yet, anyway) because he knows he's already effectively ended the Trump organization. Trump's business "empire" is basically a dead man walking already.

  • Great, I'm the jerk that shows up a few years afterward, inspecting the errant arm and elephant trunk wondering what the actual F the original programmer was thinking.

    Then I cut off the trunk and slap a dog nose on it because I hate VB.

    WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?

  • That's a function of the electronics, not the physical connection. The NACS connection is far superior to either CCS standard, and it's not even close.

    And fuck no, Musk is a piece of shit that can judas cradle himself on his "X" sign for all I care.

  • This showed up elsewhere a few days ago and I'd be more than happy to become a E.U. citizen, then promptly don my best muddled Irish accent to harangue the backwoods yokels in ridiculous pickup trucks that would be amassed along the French and Swiss borders so I could better fit in with you European folk. Then I'd flee to Amsterdam or something.

    Uh, you guys really need to forget the CCS nonsense and adopt the superior NACS Tesla charging ports, though.

  • So, seems obvious the image would be on a sign on the side of the road adjacent to the direction of travel, showing the figure walking towards the road into traffIc.

    Then there are those that are backwards...

    Russia is fleeing the war they started, Ukraine is chasing them down, Belarus is running to lick Putin's ass and Estonia is itching to kick Putin's ass. Poland is standing defiantly in the middle guarding between Assholeland and the West.

    Then the Irish guy is clearly just drunk and stumbling backwards into the road. I can relate.

  • Tuvix murdered Tuvok AND Neelix! Janeway just unmurdered them, and didn't even violate the temporal prime directive! Fek'lhr's sake, will any conflict resolution ever make you people happy!?!?!?

  • IIRC, it is explained (kinda) that the personal viewpoint of being solid within the matter stream isn't entirely real. Wishywashy, but how do you show that on a screen, really?

    To the bigger issue above, the function of the transporter is that the pattern buffer isn't "storage" such that you cannot query against the buffer as if it's data in memory where individual particles can be pinpointed. (Obv this is not necessarily canon and some episodes poke holes in the idea).

    I've always imagined it more like a mound of dirt dumped onto a conveyor in FIFO order, sending it up the beam, then rolling in order into the pattern buffer. The buffer is just holding all the matter in a continuous conveyor in the original order so it can be reassembled on the pad. Outright saving a pattern to memory where every particle location, energy state, etc. would take basically all the memory everywhere (TNG: Lonely Among Us). Weapon and bacteria/virus patterns could be simple enough to detect within the buffer to knock those bits out as the "dirt" rolls around continuously.

    And of course the longer you roll a bunch of dirt down a conveyor, the positions of particles shift out of their original position until eventually there's not enough of the original pattern to reassemble properly.

    My headcanon for Scotty locking the buffer into a diagnostic loop means additional scrutiny in the system's pattern scanning which then keeps "knocking" bits back into place they were in the prior 'pass' down the conveyor in order to continue calibrating scanners.

    Don't look at me like I'm crazy, it totally makes sense!!!!!!!!!¡!!!¡!!! *cough

  • Oh, Deadlock, so going to argue that it wasn't alternate universe Harry, just original Harry (and entire Voyager/crew) being duplicated by the rift, then one set of dupes becoming slightly less alive.

    So they all got Lieutenant Rikered, both being the original, just one didn't lose his mind imagining Talking to Troi for years... well, maybe Harry does have a thing for Troi too, dunno.

  • which is more likely to be successful with a human touch.
