That’s not an incentive for people to shop there. Grocery store prices are already bad enough. No one wants to pay extra money for a more limited selection.

You don’t become a billionaire by hard work. You exploited a lot of people, you fucked over a lot of people. If they were a billionaire but literally everyone that worked for them was a multi-millionare I’d shut up. If I made $100,000 (of current USD) for 2,000 years… I wouldn’t have made a billion dollars.

I remember when that word meant something.

They’re in the photo…

It’s why they’re so damn happy 😉

I’ll take the blood one.

I think it’d be fun just to freak out some people. I would have gone with the eye one but I’m always wearing sunglasses, so would be wasted on me.

Back of the line!

I mean, it’s the 40k universe, there’s a 100% you gonna die. So, really, it does fit your criteria… just in a roundabout way.

My first homelab server is running unRAID. No real complaints from me. It’s been running for years no issues other than the crap hardware it runs on (i7-3770, 32GB RAM). I have some file shares, docker, and some VMs. The UI makes it really easy to do stuff, especially if you don’t want to have to research and manage everything.

Back in my high school days, I worked at a small company that had like 3 or 4 tech guys, each one assigned to a specific building. The one assigned to ours, wasn’t very knowledgeable on anything, was more of a tech enthusiast. So when anything would go wrong my manager would come get me first. Which then expanded to various co-workers asking if I’d come to their house to fix things. I helped fix so many slow running computers back in the day. Never charged anyone, I saw it as an opportunity to learn and practice. When I got to college, I FLEW through all the course material.

Just curious if you’ve seen one in person or just online.

Cuz I didn’t like how they looked online. But seeing them in person was just a whole another thing. I’ve seen a few, My personal opinion is the proportions are just off in every way. It’s bigger than you’d think but also it looks like the cab is a lot smaller. It reminds me of toy vehicles you give like 5-year-olds. If it was just an RC car, I probably be fine with it.

Being serious, what is /e/ ?

I know a Doctor Pythagoras might have a theory. But it might be irrational to go that route. But you said lumps, so sounds like your developing extra roots. To be absolute, try graphing it. Though it might just get better in a few days, give or take a few.

So today’s ‘trucks’ have just slightly more storage space than my old Mini Cooper did. Neat. Like can you legit fit like a bike or 4-wheeler in that?

Until a power outage. Or drive failure. Or a virus. Or errant attempt to remove the French rm -fr. If that happened… would you bury the drive in a funeral?

Back in the day, I had a girlfriend who burned a CD that was just this. The entire thing, just filled with this one song over and over. She’s sneaked into my apartment, put it into the CD player, Hit play, and left.

Thinking about it still brings a smile to my face.

Man, I hope it’s good. Scrubs is my favorite non-scifi show. I want to buy the whole thing on bluray/dvd but right now I can’t find the whole thing. Some people, when you say “Eagle,” think the bird. Some people think “USA”. I think about Turk and JD.

MCU != comics. That should be WELL established. I know they name-dropped 616 in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but that was more like a poor writing choice in an attempt to be an easter egg.

Adding more resources to remove scarcity is dumb. You’re acting as if you have 1000 units of resources and 1000 people, but then half it to 1000 units of resources and 500 people, well, they’ll just bounce back. But having 2000 units of resources and 1000 people, well, that’ll auto balance, and they won’t grow to match resources. Or even worse, infinite resources, to ensure scarcity is removed. Iron is a resource. Iron is found inside living things, and it’s found in the sun and the core of the planets. Double iron… what happens? The complete genocide of everything. Though it’s true, scarcity would be removed because everything is dead. Pick any resources and if you follow it, I mean really think about it, you’ll find it’s not a “oh just” type of solution. And it ignores the logistics of the whole thing too, he was snapping his fingers once, not putting out a beat, just so he can handle multiple worlds/species/requirements for each. It wasn’t open mic night at the MCU.

His plan, which I want to remind you, is in a movie which none of it needs to make sense… because ya know, magic rocks… If a planet is struggling, due to pollution or overpopulation… now that’s been solved, and they could potentially plan around that for the future. Put policies in place and whatnot. Other planets, well, people are very superstitious. The number of ghost stories on tv or YouTube, or the fact that organized religion exists, proves that. For those folks, seeing “Hey we got up to like X number of people and then god got mad (since 99.99999…% of all living things in the MCU would have no idea what or why half got dusted), we shouldn’t do that again”. And in the MCU, we see various gods do exist, and they don’t give a shit what happens to the mortals (Thor Love and Thunder).

It was too prevent total collapse of a species. Giving them a chance to change.

Not exactly a new tactic. Same thing for Top Gun and probably a bunch of other movies. Part recruitment, part public relations to improve their image.

But the military does have some neat tech that most people won’t ever see. Like his series in the submarine, there was a lot of really cool.

I’d like to submit
