Because it's what they will buy, it's what I'll buy. And it suits their argument. Calling people out for not reading the article when they are quoting a price from the article is silly though.
That being said, I don't really buy the comparison between the optiflex and the pi. It's like saying you can buy a perfectly good Geo metro as opposed to building a kit bike.
$80 for its 8GB
It seems like people really aren't reading the article.
How out of ideas are studios that they decided to make Alan Wake 2?
Just eat them.
There is no trick that will make you think an apple is actually pie or make kale taste just like potato chips.
Try new stuff. Go to the Asian grocery store and buy random fruits and veggies you haven't seen before and try them. Worst case you hate them, but you seem to be there already, best case you love them.
speak to anyone and everyone but now after years of being told I am racist
Were you saying racist shit?
I’m guessing you are one of those “I’m not racist, I hate everyone” assholes. Which is a long way of saying "I’m racist, but it doesn’t count because I’m a jerk to my friends (who are all white).
Delta green is great.
I love how TTRPGs are the model for having a quality product means people will buy it. It’s not difficult to pirate everything, and many systems are just flat out free. And yet I buy most of it.
Enterprise isn’t exactly a representative sampling of star trek.
In TNG the only reoccurring villains that are more advanced than humans are the Q and the Borg. The iconians were super advanced, but are long dead. There are random space babies/sentient nebulas but most species are behind the federation in tech. Even the romulans aren’t more advanced, just focused on war.
If you ever wonder how advanced humanity is in star trek, remember that Q is a reoccurring villain. Q has complete control of space, time and reality. The federation is so advanced God is an antagonist.
One of my biggest complaints about TLJ was how poor the plot was. It’s surprising because Rian Johnson has some of the best thought out plots in his other movies.
The slow speed chase didn’t make sense, the empire first order could see they were heading to a planet. Finn and Rose had time to leave, go to another planet and come back without issue, why weren’t they scattering parts of the fleet and people the whole time?
Worst, the entirety of the movie didn’t move the plot forward. At the end of TFA Rey is a nascent Jedi searching for a place to fit in, Kylo is struggling with his path trying, Finn is trying to fit in and Poe is a hotshot pilot. At the end of TLJ no character advanced, they are all in the same spot.
I would have preferred if they did some really weird stuff, like Rey becomes Kylo’s student to save everyone else. Will she redeem him or be corrupted? Will she be a double agent? What exactly are the goals of the first order? Can they be subverted into something good?
After TLJ I didn’t care what was going to happen to anyone, and still don’t.
I let me officers commit acts of terrorism once in a while, as a treat!
Star wars fans hate TFA for reasons that elude me.
I’m with you, TFA was cool. I wanted to know more about the knights of Ren. Kylo was interesting, here is a villain who is struggling with using the dark side, but is trying to commit to it. That’s something we don’t see ever. Finn was a neat character, and another new perspective.
I think the Rey hatred is actually misogyny. People don’t lose their minds that Luke is best fighter pilot in the rebellion, but Rey uses the force in the “wrong” way and she’s an unredeemable Mary Sue. I’m not one to cry discrimination, but the amount of venom targeted at the character implies something deeper.
I too gave up after TLJ, it seemed designed to make me stop caring about star wars.
Stargate is one of the strangest and best sci-fi TV series.
It starts with humans just losing all of the time and a tone that is too serious for its content. As the show goes on there are episodes where everyone where there is a fake TV show of SG-1 and the villains are actively afraid of the US military.
Anything that you can grind yourself buy whole.
It really doesn’t take long to grind a tsp of cumin, and the seeds stay fresh so much longer than the powder. And if the seeds start to lose their punch just toast 'em.
Get a bigger mortar then you think too. You’ll read about making pesto, or guac, or lots of Thai dishes, and wonder if it real does taste better. Sadly it does and you’ll regret your small mortar every time you make guacamole.
May I suggest a 3D printer and set of speed paints?
There is something awesome about being able to print up and paint the exact monster before the session.
It’s a whole new world of terrain and tiles you don’t bother using half the time.
No. That is simply untrue.
First, if you feel Bernie and Trump are both populists then that term means absolutely nothing.
Second, people don’t go “I like this guy because he wants to tax the rich, have universal healthcare and wants to go regulations to help stop climate change,” and then when that guy loses think “this other guy who acts nothing like the candidate I supported and has literally the opposite policies might hear me so I’m all in on him!”
This is a fiction made up to push to narrative that it isn’t foreign propaganda.
Give it another shot. It was legitimately cancelled too soon.
And if you watch it you’ll feel your dream come alive at last, you will touch the sky. And they’re not going to hold you down no more, no, they’re not gonna change your mind. Because you’ll have faith of the heart, strength of the soul.
I’m bugged by decontamination gel.
Why is it so randomly used? Why doesn’t Shran have to use it ever? Did Phlox have to rub it on all of his animals? What’s in it?
I don’t disagree with you.
All I want is for some objective statements about different distros. Like tell me what distro is a full time job to maintain. Tell me what distro is sending me to the command line all of the time. Give me some basic functionality benchmarks (search time, opening a browser and boot time) on a low, mid and high end computer.
I have to vote for Martine.
This is a very good selection of books, but I would like for “classic” sci-fi to have it’s own category. I love Hyperion, necromancer and the expanse series, but I think they start to choke out newer/fringe books. Especially if the the plan is to vote on what book is next.
NASA.
I was PMing a student project for NASA and the sheer number of tabs and files I had open on my PC killed Windows.
I had a week until the deadline and I’m in a situation where things may or may not save, basic functionality was questionable and I had literally thousands of pages information to format and get out.
Once I turned it in I installed Linux and never looked back.
