I just rewatched that one, and I disagree. It was uncomfortable at first, b/c it seemed so hoakey. The crew repeatedly hurt themselves trying to cross the room. Then the point was to observe the child closely. Dax was the one who finally got it. It was a commentary on observation/cognitive bias.

Edit isn't working, so here's a second one https://gfycat.com/coolveneratedfrillneckedlizard That is all.

65F/19C. Fans in summer, sweaters in winter.

Amy's Foods until the strikers say otherwise. I support BDS always. No fast food, no fast fashion.

I think I could do Linux. I used to do MS-DOS. I've got a 10-yr-old Dell laptop to experiment with. I've been advised to start with Mint. Is there something "for dummies" with very clear instructions?

Ah, poor NATO citzen, having their spoon-fed, govt-approved view of the world challenged by someone who actually pays attention to what the rest of the world says. Wallow in your ignorance. I'm done.

I remember a convo here, recently, that ended with defederation not happening. You can block them from your feed. While they're officially not tankies, they do behave as if they were feral children.

Show us the evidence.

I have to ask, who else these days? b/c I fear we are demonizing Russia, Russians, and Putin the same way we demonized Iraq, Arabs, and Saddam Husein before our awful foray into that country. UK and France have been actively discouraging Ukraine during peace negotiations. See for yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_negotiations_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

I've been following this on Russian- and English-language sites. Nobody but BBC alleged Russian responsibility, and they cited no evidence. Remember when Boris Johnson personally tanked peace negotiations?

Had to reinstall browser today. Looked for donation button when I re-downloaded. Found a whole bunch of contributors, but no donation button.

I came to ask whether there's a way to thank or otherwise appreciate a github team for something very useful.

🤣

No evangelism of any kind--rather dirtbag leftism. Chapo Trap House is defined on Wikipedia. They've been around for a while. They've got podcasts. They write books. They're smart, well-informed, and take no prisoners. They're also comradely toward honest, curious newcomers. If one were, say, proudly liberal and sure in their understanding of history and politics, it probably wouldn't be a good fit.

Chapo Trap House lemmy.

‘nerd shit’

On Star Trek? Imagine that! (I've been nerding over there, off and on, all day) 🤣

Incidentally, when I looked up that user earlier in the day, they account was 8 hours old.

Me too. I just found hexbear.net. Much better.

Humor me here, please. Everyone else sang in voices you could expect from their characters. Why was Klingon singing, alone, breaking character?

I dunno. I see Klingons as extremely old-school, culturally. They treasure old ways of fighting (bat'leth, qutlutch), worship (Kahless, dark, candle-lit spaces), being (honor bordering on chivalry, belonging to the house of one's father), and singing (manly voices--Michael Dorn even lowered his speaking voice for TNG). For me, hearing Klingon high-pitched voices during a crisis was analogous to hearing "Eek! A mouse!" It was funny, but I'm still experiencing cognitive dissonance.
