  • Meh. TOS was so bad it got cancelled halfway through its third season. Didn't even get to finish.

    More seriously, with all the whining people do about DSC and whatever, it's obvious they haven't seen TAS or Enterprise. I mean, really. TAS was - except for Mudd and Tribbles - awful. But no, let's focus on whining instead of all enjoying Lower Decks together.

    Which makes me wonder how many people have actually seen the TNG episode LD is based on? 🤷

    Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go have a transporter accident.

  • Also, if you ever want proof that someone is a brainwashed, right-wing shill, just look for the phrase "THE covid vaccine". Because in their mind, there is only one. Not over a dozen different ones that actually exist. Hell, in the USA alone there's at least 4 different original-strain covid vaccines, not including the new bivalent vaccines.

    But no. "THE covid vaccine". 🤦

  • For a simple start, he doesn't understand the difference between a virus / bacterium/etc and what a disease is.

    Nor does he understand what a vaccine is, or what it does.

    Nor does he understand that every pathogen has a different rate / volume of transmission, acts differently on different people in different conditions and so on.

    This is all right-wing, anti-science propaganda that we saw far too much of in 2020. This false idea that "if it isn't a magic 100% force field then it doesn't work at all".

    It's all BS to get stupid people to do nothing and become petri dishes for bugs. Nothing owns the libs like trying their hardest to do nothing and die off. Or something like that.

  • For those wondering genuine reasons to support this statement, remember the horrific things the US government did to black people and native Americans.

    The CIA and such were having a field day doing whatever unethical shit they wanted.

    Tuskagee experiment? (Giving black people syphilis) https://www.history.com/news/the-infamous-40-year-tuskegee-study

    MK Ultra? (Drugging black people with cocaine and mishrooms) https://chacruna.net/cia_research_exploited_black_americans_mkultra/

    Mass sterilization of Native American women: https://time.com/5737080/native-american-sterilization-history/

    It goes on and on. Yeah, we have good reason to distrust the US Government. Unfortunately, we also have lots of reasons to trust them as well. This isn't a post "gubbmint bad". This is just "we can understand why some people think the way they do because of the actions of others".

  • And they one touch on the entire point in the most trivial of fashions: better battery life. 15% faster and apparently much better battery life. That should be the headline.

    "M3 Pro gives better battery life without losing any power"

  • encourages buying things for single use or very short term use and discarding them.

    No, that's the opposite of minimalism. Don't buy it if you don't need it. If you do need it, then don't waste money or effort.

    What you're describing is a form of capitalism, which has nothing to do with minimalism.

    Also, what's wrong with renting or borrowing tools? 🤦

    "We suspect some product manager may cause the company some embarrassment.

    "So we've politely written to Wesfarmers corporate suggesting the product be pulled."
