Fuckin fuck.

Every fall I get my flu shot and covid boosters. Guess I’m just gonna have to play up my asthma as a high risk illness.

Haven’t even clicked the link, but I"m pretty sure I know what scene it is because it was in my head when I commented that lol.

In domain-specific applications (chemical / pharmaceutical / etc research) I can concede it has its uses, but in everyday life where it’s shoved into every nook and cranny: don’t need it, don’t want it, don’t respect the people who use it.

For things like bringing dead actors back into things: let the dead stay dead.

It’s a diplomatic role. Maybe Booker was just strategically keeping him off the roster for potential SecDef nominations later.

Also works for changing the thermostat.

No, lol. Just don’t have that community subscribed. No one here has sub’d to it, and I’m not interested enough myself to make the commitment.

My instance isn’t sub’d to that one, but feel free!

!ancientinternet@lemmy.world

Haven’t had much activity there since the top mod left Lemmy.

I would use an avatar with speech synthesis, but I’d still type the answers for it to say (while shitposting here at the same time lol). So, basically a puppet rather than an agent.

I either eat nonstop or don’t eat for 2 days. There’s rarely an in-between. Friends have said I eat like a snake lol.

He had hair, at least enough I never considered him balding. Was his UK counterpart bald?

Lol, replied to the wrong reply.

No, this guy is just the worst. Sends a request, I do the request, and then it’s and endless string of revisions that are things he didn’t think of and should have been in the original request.

Appreciate the enthusiasm. Do not appreciate the 7 identical posts back-to-back.

Pick a community. If you don’t get enough responses after a respectful period of time, then repost. Otherwise, you’re just spamming.

It is. Sorry for the run around, but rules is rules.

I thought I was late to the party in adding that, but thanks!

Looks like I need to update my instance. In 0.19.9, the custom thumbnails worked but didn’t federate. Seems like they do again as of 0.19.11.

I think you posted the thumbnail image instead of the article URL.

This is the only exception I can think of:

Yeah, maybe add “[Satire]” to the title because it reads too much like every other AI-bro press release lol.

Probably would be a very complex series of maneuvers with less chance of success compared to more traditional evasive maneuvers / defense.

Pretty much all PDCs shown have a lot of freedom of movement, and there are typically multiple cannons on a ship; those can all fire and aim independently. To try to melt those in the drive plume would be nearly impossible.

Don’t missiles also typically target the drives? Either to disable them or to blow up the reactor (depending on plot needs)? Those get really close to the plume and seem to be fine.

The only instance I can recall where the fusion drive was used offensively/defensively was when they lured the ptotomolocule hybrid out of the Roci with the nuclear warhead and burned it up in the drive plume. That was also a static target.

Once you’ve read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia, TVTropes -> Recap can fill in the finer details.
