I would think the Federation would make it a priority to recover their misappropriated Galaxy-class starship, and that they’d send a little fleet of at least three other ships right away.

Unless something was causing a big enough distraction at the time that Starfleet needed to send those starships somewhere else, in which case the respective empires would have every motivation to capture the rogue flagship. Again, I don’t see them sending just one or two ships; they would want to overwhelm the Enterprise badly enough to take the ship as undamaged as possible.

If, I don’t know, let’s say the Borg were simultaneously attacking the Federation and the Klingons and the Romulans, then the realists in command of the major factions might shrug and say that whatever swashbuckling chicanery Jean-Luc is up to is simply not a priority in the face of possible assimilation.

I don’t think you should be scared of git.

Unless by “scared” you mean “I pasted from ChatGPT and now I don’t know what to do,” in which case, please be more scared.

Ope great catch

Definitely. If one is trying to be prepared, See Invisibility lasts an hour but takes a lvl 2 slot while Detect Magic lasts 10 minutes and only takes a lvl 1 slot, so there’s tradeoffs for sure.

One of the things I like about my firbolg twilight cleric is having the detect magic racial ability, too.

So you need Detect Magic running?

Belter took me too long

Homestar Runner dot net. It’s Dot Com™.

Pssst, you hallucinated the GitHub repo. I wonder what your ROI is like on this AI slop paper busking thing. I wonder if we’ll see massively more of it as agents go off into rabbitholes like this.

“Thesis it?”

sweats in Betteridge’s law of headlines

Yeah it’s definitely not great (any kind of nuclear response is truly bonkers, genie out of the bottle shit) but if I understand correctly they at least aren’t talking about glassing the country the way the headline implies

Edit: just still beyond madness btw, precedent leading to dominos falling pretty quick after that, not sanewashing at all, just… maybe a slightly slower slide into apocalypse than instantaneous global thermonuclear war so… yaaaay

The primary reporting in the guardian says they aren’t talking about it explicitly, and have denied it, but that the depth of the bunkers in question implies tactical nukes would need to be used for the strike they’re discussing to be effective

I got no errors or logs, the program stopped “sucessfully” but i get no output.

This makes it sound like your code is doing what you’re telling it to do with no errors. Show us your code and we can help figure out the delta between expectation and reality.

Ah I thought the argument was that there shouldn’t be any natural or social consequences either per the assertion the IWW’s language was ableist

It’s just that the logical conclusion here is that everybody skips work/class/get-togethers/volunteering on days any individual is sick or has problems, and therefore effectively nobody can ever do any work or receive any benefits from any work or community activity of any kind. At some point some things have to start on time, right? From surgeons to airline pilots to garbage collectors to graduate classes to stamp collecting clubs to backyard BBQs, delaying everything until everyone can do everything at the same time just doesnt seem like it would work

Wow, hmmm. I’m someone who makes personal sacrifices in the name of punctuality because I’ve experienced the negative effects of lateness and strive not to externalize those costs to others whenever I can.

I’m going to be thinking about this post for a while because I really want to appreciate and relate to this perspective, because my personal inclinations go: food gets cold and won’t be as good reheated as it was when it was hot the first time. Other people might have woken early or skipped a meal or made other personal sacrifices to be somewhere on time. I see punctuality as a responsibility to my fellow humans. If I say I’ll be somewhere at a certain time, I do my best to do keep my word. So it’s going to take me a while to really process the alternative perspective here.

do anything else

I didn’t leave reddit cause of power tripping mods, I left reddit cause of profit hungry admins

Just being able to jump to the top of the file, bottom of the file, beginning or end of the line, or directly to a regex pattern match or particular character already gives me some of the same satisfaction as a video game with really tight movement controls. (I also like being able to jump to lines by number, manipulate lines by number or range, and I like being able to get to the top, bottom, or middle of the screen with one or two keypresses.)

In the same vein, deleting arbitrary lines at a time, performing external operations only on lines that match a particular pattern, and saving macro recordings of repetitive manual changes all feel like multiplicative powerups. Heck, incrementing and decrementing with ^a and ^x feels like one more little cheat code. Bouncing on parentheses with % makes structured files easy to get around in.

These are all things I’ve done with some regularity over the years.
