HK-47 from Knights Of The Old Republic is probably my favorite source of quotes: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Quote_of_the_Day/Archive/HK-47

• I was most proud to have partaken in the political system of the galaxy. During the time [the senator] possessed me, he gained significant rank. Given enough time, I believe he could have become chancellor. I even eliminated a few key opponents that he did not ask for. Freebies, if you will.
• Query: Would you rather be caught with contraband that is very illegal or just a little illegal?
• Droids tend to blend into the background, like a bench or a card table. Mockery: Droid, fetch this. Droid, translate that. Droid, clean out the trash compactor. Part of the love of my function comes when the ‘furnishings’ pull out tibanna-powered rifles and point them at the owners’ heads.
• Observation: I am a droid, master, with programming. Even if I did not enjoy killing, I would have no choice. Thankfully, I enjoy it very much.

When Picasso became bored of painting people, he started representing them as cubes and other abstract forms. The world called him a genius! I’ve spent my entire surgical career creating the same tired shapes, over and over again: the upturned nose, the cleft chin, the ample bosom. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could do with a knife what that old spaniard did with a brush?

Only if they’re charged.

P.S.: since battery cells need to be disposed properly, they are now an 18+ purchase.

OP has one without the switch, so it shouldn’t be the issue. Only happens because a trillion dollar company cannot account for the differences in their handful of devices.

The perfect cover.

It doesn’t relay all traffic, that’s a fallback if a connection can’t be established.

RT is a great vibe check. I don’t use movie ratings directly to decide what to watch, but to gauge whether a movie that already seems interesting is likely to be worth the time.

Or be a patient gamer and get it on a sale.

To be fair, this doesn’t make any statements about attendance.

It was unnecessarily complex to accommodate their cloud infrastructure setup.

Please elaborate how you needed to “accommodate their cloud infrastructure setup”.

When I set my server up years ago all I did was log in on the web interface. Literally as simple as any other service.

I set Plex up as an inexperienced selfhoster in 2020 and it was easy.

There were no scientists in Alien. It’s a bunch of space truckers and they’re infinitely more competent than the hand picked group in Prometheus.

I love the first one and would argue it’s fairly grounded, it’s the sequels that quickly got unhinged.

As someone who came over from reddit basically via Sync, this is normal. Dev likes to go MIA for extended periods of time and suddenly appears with huge updates.

Doesn’t suit the still developing environment here, though.

Well, the narrow set of people who print something more than twice a year.

Until we figure out how that is possible outside of theory, it is just that. We have no plans that address actually keeping a spaceship working on such a timescale, and keeping the crew alive on top of it.

Considering we haven’t seen any generational alien ships visit, it seems like nobody else has figured it out yet, either.

So what, you assume that everyone not literally voting for Trump doesn’t support him? That’s ridiculous. The real number surely is closer to half than it is to the quarter that the votes add up to.

America is Israel’s bitch, different situation.

Guess what, they have mine fields now. Probably much more than a strategic strip at the border.

It just means they’ve survived the first part of the bathtub curve. To me that’s a bonus.
