There has to be more to the story than that, as medical tools using radiation have had terrible accidents, but are still used a lot all over the world. And for example every day there are terrible accidents with motorcycles and in some countries that’s basically the primary mode of transportation for most people.

The true story has to be a bit more complex and nuanced?

Come say that to my face and I’ll personally give you the Janeway treatment. I’m sure I can program the transporter to turn you directly into coffee. :p

She isn’t a snob, she’s an addict. It doesn’t matter how she gets her fix, even if she has to murder some transporter freak, she needs to get the good stuff.

YSK this is actually a bad idea. By repeatedly damaging the skin this way you can actually trigger a nerve condition where the ends of your nerves just send pain signals all the time. People who work in professions where they scrub their hands a lot for their work are at risk of this. It’s probably fine to do every once in a while, but don’t make it a regular thing.

The chance is small, but I know a few folk who were real men when they were younger so they didn’t wear gloves when they really should have. Just don’t worry about it and scrub it off was the mindset back then and men wearing PPE were (and sometime are) seen as weak. But they describe the pain as getting stabbed in the hand repeatedly and wish they just wore the gloves.

The monkey paw curls: all insects and other “bugs” are gone now, the food chain collapses bottom up and the human race is just about extinct within 10 years.

I don’t think this has anything to do with ADHD, it’s just a little shortcut you can use when doing math in your head. I was taught techniques like this in school when we learnt addition and subtraction etc.

I think the point of the Jake and Nog characters, at least at first, was to show the innocence of youth. Yeah sure they are smart and mostly try to do the right thing, but they are also dumb kids. They do the dumbest shit which they even acknowledge themselves is pretty dumb. It’s typical teenage behavior, acting first and then thinking about it.

Could someone re-make this but with the big naturals Padme? Asking for a friend

In trouble shooting it always important to answer at least these questions when asking for help:

• What are you trying to achieve, eg what is the end result you are hoping for.
• What is the expected behavior, or how do you think it should work?
• What is the experience behavior, so what actually happens and how does that differ from what you expected.
• What steps have you taken in trouble shooting. Are there things you’ve checked or ruled out? How so? What did you try?
• Any background you think is relevant, so which software, hardware, versions, urls etc.

This will help other people help you quickly and efficiently. This will greatly improve your chance of other people being able to help you, or you being able to help yourself.

Having Co-pilot help is like having a junior dev at your side, who is also drunk and high.

Just so you know, operating spinning drives this way is a bad idea. If the platters are spinning and the drive tips over, the rotation of the drives resists the movement. This gyroscopic force is enough for the platters to touch the heads which are flying a tiny distance above the platter. Obviously this is a bad thing and will damage the drives.

A quick fix is to just lay them flat or fix both of them together so they have a more stable base to stand on. Putting it in an enclosure is even better.

Take a look at yt-dlp. Despite it’s name, it can do a lot of web video and audio, not just YouTube.

It’s all fun and games until your computer turns into a black hole because there is too much information in too little of a volume.

You might want to look into using some form of parameterized queries.

This pretty funny, but I’ve been self employed working from home for a part of my career and I would always stress out terribly if I overslept. I was always feeling my dedication and how much work I put in directly correlated to how much income I would have or if I could even continue with the work I put so much time and money into. It doesn’t matter if that job is in business, being a streamer or drawing comics, being self employed can be much more stressful than a regular job. So being late for work feels like you need to rush, even if it’s just in my pj’s with a robe and rolling my fat ass to the other room for work.

Impossible to tell

Please send flowers, I just died from cringe

You are totally correct, hydrogen is by far the most common element out there, since it’s just a simple proton. Any space without a boatload of hydrogen is what we call empty space. Oxygen is also super abundant, so it’s basically everywhere. As far as we know water is everywhere and very easy to get. Like I said you’d need to filter and clean it, since it’s probably full of nasty stuff, but that’s something we could do 100 years ago so it should be easy.

Now it would be possible for some kind of weird system where there is just hydrogen for the star and not a lot else. I’m not sure how that would be possible, but lets say for the sake of argument that it is. Then you won’t have any planets as well and you for sure wouldn’t have any abundant life to get to civilization levels. The early universe was like this, because a lot of the heavier stuff needed stars to get made. So the early stars systems were just a whole lot of hydrogen and some helium and nothing else, but there obviously wasn’t life as we know it back then.

But I don’t know how this would extend to an entire region of space. And even if it’s for the entire region, why would you stay? Just move on, the region sucks, you have warp capable vessels so just get out of dodge. There’s plenty of stars around with a lot of water in their systems, Voyager gets to them within the year.

They also have, you know, space ships, so they have some level of technology. They say the stole the tech, but that’s a little too easy. Even if they stole the idea and the blueprints, they still understand a lot of it. They operate and maintain it, so they have some technical level at least. That means their space ships probably have pretty decent water recycling options. Or are they just venting their piss into space like we did in the 60s? If water is such a big deal, they would surely have their tech tree invested into recycling and water saving techniques. Even a ship with replicators like Voyager is a very sealed system, why waste the resources?

I think in the show it’s just hand waved away like this is a region with very little water and the audience is just supposed to go with it, instead of thinking even a little bit about it.

We are so cooked

Sure but when you have space travel, its dead simple to get water. Just park up at any old moon or asteroid, a lot of them are almost all ice. Sure you need to filter and clean it, but that’s the easy part. Replicators seem like the hard way to get water.
