But that just means the million will be divided up even more, reducing your share! ;)

About tree fiddy

2 things: taxes are taken from the winnings, and the jackpot quoted is the amount you would get if you picked the regular payments rather than lump sum.

The regular payments include trust fund interest/growth I think, so you get more.

It's confusing as all hell. I'd much prefer it tax free and lump sum. Tell me exactly what I get, don't dress it up to make it look better than it is!

If I win I'll give everyone in this thread a million dollars.

So, if there's 60 people in the thread, everyone gets $16,667

I see you all fell for my cunning ruse. Definitely not something I figured out after I posted. Not at all.

Asp Explorer took me far, far along the Perseus arm of the galaxy. All my paint was worn off when I finally got back to civilization!

I've always liked Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints

One of my favourite things on the Roci are the point defense cannon (PDC).

In space they make a little brrrrrt noise

In atmosphere they sound like artillery. BOOM BOOM BOOM. And they act like artillery too, all you can do is try to cover your ears.

Just fun to think how powerful those "little" PDCs need to be.

The Hail Mary currently. Just such a cool ship from a fun book. To think about what would go into building it and what that means to humanity is humbling.

Other notables:

• Enterprise E from First Contact because it looks cool.
• Cygnus from The Black Hole
• Sulaco from Aliens
• Trimaxion Drone Ship from Flight of the Navigator
• The Abominator-class Offensive Unit Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints (my usual favourite lol)

This is the coolest ask Lemmy I've ever seen!

Tungsten Carbide Rules?!? What the bloody 'ell are tungsten carbide rules?

"and I've got nunchucks under my racecar bed that my mum doesn't know anything about!"

Women fucked that. shudder

Fantastic joke!

When can I preorder the Pixel 8 Pro? My 6 Pro has a scratched screen so I might turn it into webcam or media player.

I wonder how quickly the other defendants will act, and what will they do?

Will we see a domino effect of flips to guilty pleas?

It would have been painfully glorious

Ah, bummer.
