It’s a portmanteau of brotherhood and friendship, with the joke being that they are on a boat

Seconding SPD, it’s great

Generally not. Entrapment is very specific, and leaving you the option of doing something illegal without pushing you to do it is decidedly not entrapment.

I was thinking tera or exa watt output would be needed, which is less than our global energy consumption, but hilariously more than any individual power plant could produce, regardless of whether it’s fission, fusion, natural gas, or coal.

An antimatter powered generator might be able to hit the mark, but good luck with that; both building an antimatter power plant, and creating enough antimatter in the first place

I like the way you think, but I don’t think Three Mile’s remaining reactor has the output you’d need.

Actually, I wonder what the wattage of an average hurricane is. Somebody has to have done the math, probably Randall.

A big enough laser pointed at the ocean would probably get a hurricane started; just gotta get enough moisture and heat into the air.

Now, powering the thing would be tricky, and doing it all unnoticed…

But that would make it pretty obvious that he’s planning on fleeing.

As if that would be the first hint

The old addage is “nobody wins a knife fight”

One guy loses on the pavement, the other guy loses in the ambulance

Have you considered a Framework sailboat? They’re a little more expensive, but they’re designed with repairability in mind, and come with Linux pre-installed

Hobby subs are the big one. If your hobby is anything other than dicking around with Linux, we probably don’t have much of a community for it, if we have one at all.

A second person would help a lot, but not be entirely necessary. They are designed to be swappable

The fridge door one is perfectly realistic, those are designed to be swappable.

Right? Big whoop, votes are public. Oh no, people might find out I’m an an-com from my voting patterns, instead of from my comments

I bet they fizzle. By weight, tritium is one of the most expensive substances on the planet; do you think the people in charge of refilling the nukes have actually been doing so, or just stealing the money?

Only way would be shenanigans with copy-on-write and deduplication; when it’s done seeding, copy it elsewhere on the same filesystem (which will use no space and be instant, because it’s just making a pointer to the original). Then make your modifications to the new version

Not nowadays with the DRM they use. Back in the actual-film days it was doable, and called a telecine

Smith is a profession more than a title, and is also generally a surname. I’ll give you Christopher and Rex though

I disagree, as cats are longer lived than dogs; wanna give your dog a stupid name, go for it

This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I have three cats and zero dogs

Well with a dad with a name like Frank Zappa, you get what you get and hope for the best.

Could be worse, kid could be named Khaleesi

At least Arya is a name; Khaleesi is a title
