Damn, kinda want this for myself to download shit off the cloud.

Yes, thank you for this, motivated me to pull the drive only to find out to my confusion that it wasn’t there… mostly likely I was mounting a partition this entire time. Good news is that I have n 8-year-old 4TB and and 12-year-old 3TB I might as well consume.

This is all I got:

<pre>NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom

I did backup my data to external drive, tho, so I’m not sweating bullets.

I should have a whole-ass platter drive in this thing.

I can legit see manufactured fingerprints being used as physical tokens eventually.

And what happens when our biometric data gets hacked, which I think has happened already. I mean, I guess I have 9 other finger prints, but I’m not getting plastic surgery.

“If this had been an actual emergency, you would not have received a notification.”

I was hoping for more Barkleys but I ended up with a Mary Sue in a corrupt nepotism story line instead.

Still, a delightful show. Gotta watch for S02 DVD sales.

I’m smart enough to know I’m too dumb for all that shit. I watch everything on DVD.

I used a 20-character password with at least one capital letter, one lower-case letter, one number, one symbol, and one accented character; changed weekly.

Am I effected?

I do remember the line from the BSG Miniseries where they are talking about caclulating their first jump. Something like, “If we are off by even a few percentage points, we could end up in the middle of the sun!” and I was thinkijng, “Like, you’d be off in your calculations by a whole percentage point?” I mean, I know there’s no networked computers allowed on the galactica, but a calculator should be able to handle it.

Edit: Though, now in retrospect, I imagine a first jump calculation would involve estimating mass, which is going to be imprecise. Probably after your first jump you can infer your mass from your location.

Small production run + half-decent internals probably accounts for a lot of the price.

Having experimented with $100 underpowered flip phone on KaiOS, lack of apps was a real problem. What (some) people want is the slight inconvenience of a T9 keyboard and an annoyingly small screen to help them limit their screen time, but they still want full functionality of all their apps.

Other than the chef in Little Mermaid, does he have any French-speaking roles?

“Zut alors! I have missed one!” is permanently lodged in my head.

33 minutes and nobody has offered an impractical yet potentiall workable solution(?) yet… maybe it really isn’t possible.

Yeah, well, heads up: black people and women consistently get worse medical care (regardless of income) and Nichols was both of those. Women’s heart attacks also present differently, but providers are (used to be?) mostly aware of the male presentation.

Paradox of tolerance?

Building her entire personality around being a biological entity… echoes of TERFdom.

Both, I think.

Some people strive for excellence, but it should be healthy personal quest, not an insecure thirst for validation. In my ideal post-scarcity society, self- and other-acceptance is as important as achievement.

You might get something out of the book about the achievement society–Burnout Society, by German-born Korean philosopher by Byung-Hul Chans–or a video on the same by your favorite philosophy youtuber.

Sounds like a recipe for burnout for me personally; to me that is a hell society where people hide their dissapointment in me with their encouragement that I could do better. I’ve come a long way from perfectionism to satisficing on good enough.

Thinking about this more, I think The Enterprise has a realism advantage in that most of the crew has subject-area competence–that is they have to know engineering, or medicine, or navigation, or tacitcs, or whatever. These are things that can be taught and tested and developed.

I think where The Federation Office corps strays is in a few areas:

1a) multiple areas of competence–like everyone is always WORKING so hard to get BETTER at everything, like why do people need to also master classical instruments as well as advanced fluid dynamics? It reflects a striving typical among Ivy League merit-obsessed individuals, which is a real thing, but it also doesn’t ever criticize this mindset.

1b) the Science is Science trope, common SF trope --where a doctor might also know about quantum capacitors and an engineer might have enough basic biology to whipup a cure for a rapidly spreading degenerative illness. I still remember an episode with Kira and Odo getting stranded because neither of them knew shit about fixing engines and I’m still recovering from the shock.

2. Emotional intelligence – everyone seems to be on a pretty even keel, which is unusual for the driven types from 1a.

3. Command as meritocracy. Maybe someone in the military can speak to this, but in my view organizations have always been chock-a-block with ass-kissers and incompetent aristocrats. An actual command consistently competent is less believable than teleporters.

I think the Orville really shines at 1a–they have some seriously flawed characters.
