Hey! Dan da Dan is great! I’m not being defensive! I’m fine!

That accounts for the proper units! We did it all the time in my relativity courses, but we had to be explicit

Adding time and distance? Nonsense! Do your unit analysis, people!

I’ll check that out right after I finish the Imperial Radch series. Ann Leckie is a great author

Rumpelstiltskin over here with opinions

I worked through both the Sprawl trilogy and the Three Body Problem trilogy and they were both fantastic. Almost ruined the rest of my reading for weeks after that. The Three Body Problem and The Dark Forest might be the most original science fiction since Neuromancer

Musk:

Yup, conversational product plugs

So, ads in chat now?

As if Elden Ring didn’t already use a variety of their older assets?

Neat

Well, poop

The military promised to give me a job related to my degree, proceeded to then not do that, then denied me a higher degree both in my assigned job field and in my educational background because I lacked the background for the former and the job didn’t require the latter. And now I’m struggling to get back into my original background

I’m on Voyager and it’s just a still image. It’s been doing this for a couple weeks

Looks like a Master Lock 141D, a 4-pin with loose tolerance. Picking the third or fourth pin with a little torque usually pops it. Sometimes you have to set two pins, but not very difficult. Shake, torque, rake, open

This is exactly the issue. A smaller studio has to distinguish itself with quality work. Disney is a media empire and pretty much a monopoly. They don’t need to distinguish themselves from shit. They own dozens, maybe hundreds of networks, services, and production studios across the world and all they need to do is produce the most basic watchable content on enough of a scale to keep viewers subscribed. The high quality shows and movies they produce are the exception, not the rule.

It’s time to break up every media empire.
