Ugh. I hate soft magic systems. It’s so unsatisfying!

It’s almost like the “meritocracy” under capitalism is a bald faced lie.

Do we have a source? All I can tell it is from Australia before the Libs (the conservatives, for international readers) changed the name of Newstart to “Job Seeker”.

They also renamed the Department of Human Services to Services Australia.

Every time they’re in power, they’re trying to remove all the welfare we’ve built up. They just can’t because we love it.

If it weren’t for Centrelink, I probably wouldn’t have finished university, and I probably wouldn’t be an engineer now.

Fuck austerity. And long may the LNP (the conservative coalition) be in complete shambles, ans hopefully push the Labor party back to its more left wing roots.

I just wish it could have been longer, and affected my company (it didn’t). A day or two off would have gone down a treat

I bring a portable screen from home, bringing me to a total of 4 with the laptop screen.

But I just like lots of monitors

Yeah all g, thanks for engaging with me :)

Back right pocket gang?

My complaint is that the warp factor only goes to infinity in the first chart you provided (the old system. i.e. as v –> ∞, f_w –> ∞). They changed it from v = f_w³*c. So warp 3 was 27c for TOS and ENT: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Warp_factor

Warp 10 being infinite is definitely cannon, just ask the haters what the worst episode of Star Trek Voyager is haha

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_(Star_Trek:_Voyager)

(The headline of this wiki article is a little off, he doesn’t travel “faster” than warp 10, he travels at warp 10)

Your second graph literally says “warp 10 is infinite velocity”, which is the new system. That there are 10 energy thresholds is cool world-building, but basing your velocity scale on it is annoying and unintuitive. When they use these numbers, unless you crack open a calculator, you have no idea how fast it actually is.

In the new system as as v –> ∞, f_w –> 10, and I find that annoying.

Whoever changed the warp scale in Star Trek: grumble grumble, warp 9 and warp 9.5 sound barely different.

I dunno about you, but I prefer a scale for velocity where as velocity goes to infinity, so does your scale

Not a single rebuttal! (That I could find). What’s the point of spouting denial of extremely well established science, if you’re not even gonna defend it.

We shall wait on you with baited breath for your vigorous research backing up the claim that the rate at which the climate is changing is normal, and not going to be catastrophic like all (practically) the world’s climate scientists keep finding, again, and again and again. Climate science is about to be revolutionised with your insights, no doubt.

REEEE MM/DD/YYYY Burn it with fire

Damn, I feel blessed then. Australia’s a pretty high cost of living, but our trains (+ the other modes of public transport) are like half that price in Melbourne Australia, and you can travel as much as you like. All day. Almost anywhere in the state where trains, busses and trams go.

(Or at leat most routes)

We are still very car centric though, by international standards.

$20 a ticket??

Yikes.

What city?

Last I checked you can only thread a conversation one level down from the channel and that’s it (when I last used it like 5 years ago).

To me that’s practically unusable for what it’s supposed to be. Slack even does a better job, in my opinion.

Sure, but I’m still feeling like complaining that there isn’t a business that’s made affordable pay-to-search a thing. (That I know of)

I’m not taking back that $120 USD/year for search is way more than most people would be willing to pay

Though yeah, I suppose saying their business model isn’t working was hyperbolic, I must admit.

The business model just doesn’t make sense then (using search partners).

Because $60, let alone $120 US, a year is far more than most people would be willing to pay.

Dunno what to say, it’s just more than most people can justify paying for the service.

I’m gonna stick with DuckDuckGo and the newly free mullvad cached search

Old man yells at cloud these damn Americans using “ironic” when they mean “sarcastic”

I’d happily pay for search, but Kagi is way too expensive.

10 searches a day, for $5/month? (US)

Like, that is way too much.

I can receive thousands and send thousands of emails per day for that price. Is search really that much more expensive?

AI can’t imagine an image full glass of wine because there are barely any images of that in any dataset out there. AI can’t think, just massage it’s dataset into something vaguely plausible.
