Rom inspired his son to enter into a very successful career, just probably not in the way he would have liked. Then Nog inspired Rom to change career tracks and become a station engineer, so I guess it all worked out.

Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. I had to look it up, figured I’d save everyone else the Google.

Who cares if you’re potentially extending a war if there’s wartime profiteering to be had?

I don’t get why so many people begrudge YouTube for trying make money. They serve up 5TB of video data every second. Somebody’s got to pay for all of that. They know ads suck, that’s why they sell no ad subscriptions.

The big thing to differentiate 7D2D is every seventh night you’ll be besieged by a zombie horde. You spend the week reinforcing your defenses, stockpiling ammo, and upgrading your gear, then you’re tested. If you’re interested in this kind of game loop, it’s worth a in-game week or two. Like many of these games, they’re more fun with friends.

I think I only watched the theatrical cuts twice: once when they came out, and a second time when the Film Society played them second run at the on-campus theater, so… 2004?

Between her and Sophie Wilson, co-designer of the first ARM CPU, the tech world would be in a very different place right now.

I mean, you could just pay YouTube for their services and get Premium.

The UK is going through the same thing. The Prime Minister dissolved Parliament about two weeks ago, and elections are going to be held of July 4th. (An odd choice, but apparently elections are always on a Thursday in the UK.)

We used unused punchcards to make flashcards in elementary school in the late 80’s / early 90’s. I guess the county bought a bunch and had to find another use.

And now I realize the primary definition of flashcard has changed since then, from study aid to digital storage.

A three digit xkcd, that one has been around a while.

Could be red plastic flowers reflecting sunlight and washing them out.

How each member voted, in case you want to look up your Representative.

The needless gaps are there for touchscreen optimization, even on things you never use a touchscreen on, like a desktop OS.

The defendant has indicated his desire to appeal, so the order should remain in place to protect the integrity of the case going forward.

It’s needed as evidence in the attempting to bribe a juror case.

ter·ror·ism

noun

the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Some of it could be hand waved as not wanting to bring more attention to himself than necessary. Humans need to eat, he appears to be human, it’s easier all around to act the part, then the acting becomes habit.

A BMW M1 sports car, produced 1978-81, only sits 1.14m tall, it’s probably got even better sight lines.

During the speech, Trump quotes an editorial by Deroy Murdock saying Trump should be nominated as the Libertarian candidate. My guess is Trump was handed a printout of the article by the staffer whose job it is to cherry pick news to make Donald feel good. He read it and he decided he needed to go to the convention, as everything he’d read said he should be their candidate. The no one among the yes men he surrounds himself with was able to talk him out of it.
