Knew it would be the yogs lol

In the “Three body problem” one of the main themes is an alien invasion and threat to the entire planet earth. As part of humanities plan to come up with solutions is the idea that any person or company found to be working on any technologies or plans to escape this planet is commiting a crime against the entirety of humanity and are charged accordingly. With the idea being that any effort going towards escape takes away from humanities effort to combat the threat.

Anyways since I read that I’ve wondered what it would be like if we treated the threat of climate change that way.

They said 24 hours not 80, lol.

Yeah, if your main form of offense/defense is that you are: large, and have massive fuck-off tusks on your front then charging seems to be a pretty good go to.

Pikes were used much the same way right? Surprised I never put the two together, ancient humans weren’t stupid so of course they’d realize that was a better way of causing harm than just throwing it. Not to mention their use of leverage in weapons like the Atlatl. No clue on the timespan of these things but I do find this stuff interesting.

I had to read hatchet, which comes close if I recall.

I have the ability to listen to whatever I want at work so I hardly ever fail to finish a book unless it’s really not pulling me in.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was nowhere near as good as the first two but it certainly was different and not in a way I found interesting. A bit slow to get to the point I guess is how I would say it.

Made me think about sentience more than the first two, though I don’t know if it alone provided enough info to really do anything beyond those initial moments of “huh, I guess that could be the case.”

I believe story graph either has or will have that feature. Or there could be monthly posts on books about it, should someone interested in running it show up.

Wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a bookclub on the fediverse really.

This is a comment under a meme disparaging those who think that way, to assume I’m agreeing with the comments in the picture is disingenuous at best.

I believe you misunderstood my point, by all means celebrate having representation in Motorsports. I was talking about the comments treating that as somehow ruining Motorsports. For me as a person very well represented all over the place it doesnt hurt me to see a woman drive a car, but for the little girls in the world that dream of a racing career it could be the difference in pursuing it or just giving up due to social pressures.

I just want to see cars go fast in a circle. Not sure why the driver matters.

Got an 18tb from serverpartdeals for 160 I think.

If we are accepting non-dinosaur but ancient creatures, my favorite is the anomalocaris :) it’s just a goofy lil guy with a mouth snoot. Plus, they never say no to a snack. (They’re at the end.)

As for what features work, it depends on your model. Here is a breakdown showing all models and features. TL;DR the only thing that doesnt work for my model is the built in webcam as it is some proprietary chip or whatever. All other features work fine, typing cover pen and depending on the app the pen is recognized as having two different ends like for an eraser. I’m not much of an artist myself but I have messed around with Krita for doodling and Rnote for notes. I happen to be using Nobara as thats what ive got on my desktop and it has the linux surface changes built in. But you can poke around the surfacelinux subreddit (icky R site I know) to see what they use. OH, and last thing is that some linux distros just WOULD NOT install for me, i cant recall the details but it was a known issue at the bios level that kept me from installing Aurora. Keep that in mind if you go through with it and it refuses to boot and install lol. Feel free to ask more questions btw. :)

Running Linux on a surface pro 7+. Going fine. Google Linux-Surface. Note: some distros will have these changes builtin.

In some states you can’t graduate without passing that test, I know that was the case in Missouri. That shit was hard.

When I washed dishes for my first job I asked to be called a Hydro-Ceramic Technician.

Lol, what the fuck for?

Love you buddy, hope all turns out well. ❤️

Funny meme btw
