It’s for people to memorize hundreds of arcane shortcuts and shit so they can feel like a smug hacker and gloat over the rest of us using other editors and getting just as much done as they are.
Also for graybeards that haven’t realized it’s not 1985 anymore.
The ICON A5 “jetski that also wants to be a plane” also has one.
Budweiser pisswater is not the extent of our alcohol-producing abilities. That’s just so people can sit and watch NASCAR or football for hours while continuously drinking without getting too drunk. But like anyone else, sometimes we just like to get trashed, and we definitely got the shit that will take care of that quickly.
I thought it was “I turned on the gas and blew up my ass.”?
Even if you design it yourself completely from scratch?
Reminds me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number#Illegal_primes
Information should be free.
Can you just imagine being like, 20, and some assholes nab you and basically steal your entire young adulthood from you for no fucking reason?
Yes, I know this happens in US prisons all the time but it still sickens me.
unless we’re wrong about the whole speed of light thing
Technically, if we could reach relativistic speeds close to the speed of light, the trip could be very short for the crew. Just don’t expect to ever be able to see anyone you knew back home ever again. We can do just fine on sub-FTL tech if the crew accepts the consequences. We can use very high ISP continuous propulsion methods like the Orion nuclear bomblet and pusher plate concept, or beefed up ion engines, or lasers pushing a solar sail, etc.
Get a box of 50 flags from Aliexpress for $5, sell them for $10 each. He might not be stupid.
And as with anything, there are exceptions:
One of the rare ones that CAN control the pitch of the blades. You don’t see this often because it greatly increases cost, weight, and complexity for not that much benefit.
Also, I’m pretty sure they can’t do shit about encapsulated data, such as VPN traffic.
That was also the last year I remember using Netscape Navigator as a daily driver. It was IE for the next four years until I switched to Firefox, and have been using that ever since. Yes, IE blows, but Navigator was starting to become a bloated mess as it started to suffer from feature creep trying to win people back.
He turned the whole “whoa dude” stoner stereotype into a career. He’s amused by any idea that sounds good on the surface. He’s not that deep.
That was just the excuse. Ukraine is a mineral-rich breadbasket. They had stuff Russia wants. Simple as that. Just like the US invading Iraq had nothing to do with “spreading democracy”.

Oooh, make one of them a little purple animated gorilla, I’d like that too.
You know what was great about the era of CRTs? We didn’t know what we were missing. If you look at almost every 70s/80s scifi movie depicting the future decades from then, and there is a computer display of some sort, it will be a CRT. Even inside vehicles.
Star Trek is the only one where I saw flat panels (LCARS terminals). AND they were touchscreens.
I just don’t get it with these proprietary cloud connected devices. Do people just not realize that keeping server infrastructure running for free after a product is sold is not in a company’s best profit-seeking interests (maybe they don’t even think about how things on the Internet actually work, I dunno)? I thought of this almost fifteen years ago when I started seeing smart thermostats. There should always be an option to go local, even if it requires the consumer to acquire a skillset in IT. Maybe we can start working things like that into right to repair legislation if it isn’t already.
It was mostly a joke. I was just trying to mess with people 😉
