I don’t totally disagree, but I don’t agree either. Star Trek touches on a lot of issues of today, just from a futuristic perspective. It uses aliens to talk about race, for example. It doesn’t ignore race issues because their society isn’t racist anymore. It just recontextualizes it so people of today will see it and internalize it, but they won’t be offended by it.

The thing that makes great sci-fi is using their lense to examine real topics of today. If it doesn’t do this then it can only be mediocre at best.

Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to just use it to generate boring old electricity and send that through the ship? Maybe the danger is there to keep the crew excited and working at maximum efficiency…

Extremely effective in the upcoming revolt against the dictatorship of the lactose-intolerant. The tolerance of intolerance is intolerance!

Usually part of 3D printed guns aren’t 3d printed. I’d bet you could make a one-time-use gun out of cheese, but the firing pin and springs would probably have to be made of something else to use a traditional round.

If you go with a gunpowder charge ignited with a flame, it’d be much easier. I’m sure there’s even a cheese that could sustain a flame to ignite it with too. You could even make a cheese bullet.

They seemed like good remakes. It’s just not the kind of thing I want to spend my time playing anymore. It was still fun enjoying the nostalgia for a little while though. I’m glad they exist.

I remember loving Spyro as a kid, but I tried playing the remakes and didn’t really enjoy it anymore. I wish I could experience them again as a child, not as adult me.

If you aren’t aware, Dwarf Fortress is now sprite based. It’s still the same game under the hood, but it’s cool to experience in it’s new form. You should get back into it. You won’t regret it!

Pumpkin spice is only the flavor of the spices added to a pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie flavor (should) taste like the pie filling in total. It’ll be a sweeter smoother flavor. Most of the spices you put in are fairly sharp flavors, so the pumpkin evens it all out.

Like Margot said, it’s the spices used for pumpkin pie. There’s a relative flavor you see sometimes that’s full pumpkin pie flavor, which I prefer. It’s more well rounded. Pumpkin spice has, over the last decade probably, fully taken over fall drink flavors. It started with Starbucks lattes, spread to other cafés. Now it’s in everything. It has fully taken over the fall beer flavors I think, overtaking Oktoberfest styles.

Lots of beers. It feels like I can’t get away from them. Everyone feels like they need to have a pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie flavored beer.

I’ve seen far too many pumpkin spiced beer. Pumpkin pie flavor is often better, but still not my thing and too common this time of year. I have no issue with pumpkin spice as a flavor, but I don’t want it to take the place of other flavors, which it has to because taps are limited.

There’s no way to define a direction of a galaxy really, so you’d have to choose some arbitrary direction as “north” or whatever you call it. I assume that’s what they’ve done. They define the direction to Sol as the line upon which everything else is measured.

You accidentally made me realize something. The keypad would probably be better on the left than right. There’s nothing to the left of most people’s keyboards, and presumably you have your keyboard positioned in the best place for your hands regardless of keyboard layout. Shift the keypad, and other buttons, to the left instead of right would make more room for the mouse.

Edit: This is apparently already a thing, labeled as “left handed” for some reason. I’m not sure what being left/right handed has to do with it though because we all type with both hands already.

Yeah, also just a random selection of actors will probably be pretty attractive. People who want to be on tv/movies also tend to either be attractive already or try to make themselves attractive.

The church would probably be a better place with more clerics getting punched.

I don’t understand the iMessage thing. How is it desirable? It functions the same except you get a different color bubble if you’re messaging from android, which makes me want to join them less not more.

When do android users get treated like second class citizens by developers? Which apps, besides Apple owned ones like iMessage?

Degoogle yourself with android. Why is running to another megacorp better? Android is the only way to somewhat get away from them, but you have to put in a little effort.

I just don’t get the Apple stuff. The only tiny benefit that I see is they might be better at securing user data from government agencies maybe. Everything else is worse for more money.

They just poop in the corner and the crew cleans it up when they get back to the ship.

It’s nice, but why would it tempt you to Apple? The same thing is available on android with much less work. F-Droid is a FOSS app catalogue, and you can just download it off the play store. You can also just use Firefox and play local music with nothing getting in the way.

I don’t think anyone can read that number either.

Not all porn is 2D. There’s a not insignificant amount of 3D VR porn now.
