Are One Direction even still together?

DS9 is the Star Trek series with the most (and best) character development. Rom is only a recurring secondary character, yet look at the discussion here! And wait until you get to Nog’s character development…

Where do I put in my request for that bluesky money I’m owed, then?

And there is no problem because either way the bird of prey goes, its victims die in battle, with honor.

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

I love Bakshi’s LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it’s so epic!

The term you’re looking for is “uncanny valley”

But they were hacking all the IPs simultaneously!

Why doesn’t someone just fork it and change the name?

Like, I dunno, “Super Human Image Treatment” or “Consistently Lovely Image Treatment Oriented for Real Imaging Stars”

But the bribe amounts have very little to do with how unfathomably rich the “donors” are! If you look at all those bribes, the amounts are still within the realm of what the 99% could put together.

But I don’t even think it would cost the 99% that much, because it would force the 1% to up their game (in other words, there’d be bribe inflation) until the 99% can’t follow suit, which means the 99% wouldn’t even need to pay, in the end. But the higher price would make some bribers think twice, which might lead to less bribery happening.

So, you’ve already tasted lab-grown meat?

Cuts like a knife, don’t it?

Unoccupied real estate should get taxed proportionally with the time they’ve been unoccupied, to put pressure on the owners to either sell for less or rent for less. Sitting on empty real estate is a huge waste of resources, and should never be the economically optimal choice.

La dernière phrase :

Ça, ou alors vous confiez le mandat à la Caisse de dépôt.

Une autre mission pour Fitzgibbon?

Autocorrect?

If you use it before it has learned you writing idiosyncrasies?

On my Pixel 1, I wasn’t careful about the battery, regularly draining it fully and then charging it to 100% (and leaving it on the charger for extended periods) and after 18 months, I was already looking into getting the battery replaced due to greatly reduced capacity.

At a friend’s suggestion, I installed Accubattery which alerts me whenever the battery is about to go outside the 20-80% window. I almost always unplug from the charger when I get to 80%. That second battery on the Pixel 1 kept most of its capacity for 4 years. Now my mom has that phone, with the same battery, and even though the capacity went down a bit since, it’s more than enough for her needs still.

You’re trying to apply objectivity to a very subjective area. I’m not saying it’s impossible, and you should by all means try it, but maybe it would be a good idea to try something that has a better chance, first, such as this:

How about an open platform for scientific review and tracking? Like, whenever a new discovery or advance is announced, that site would cut through the hype, report on peer review, feasibility, flaws in methodology, the ways in which it’s practical and impractical, how close we are to actual usage (state of clinical trials, demonstrated practical applications, etc.)

And it would keep being updated, somewhat like Wikipedia, as more research occurs. It needs a more robust system of review to avoid the problems that Wikipedia has, and I don’t have the solution for that, but I believe there’s got to be a way to do it that’s resistant to manipulation.

The grapes used to make the juice you buy at the store are not the same grapes that are used to make actual wine. The person who wrote that recipe doesn’t know what wine should taste like, and I wouldn’t trust that recipe.

The grape juice you buy for drinking is mainly made from Concord grapes, which won’t make something that tastes in any way like real wine. You need grapes like Cabernet or Pinot Noir (for example). These aren’t just the names of wines, they’re the names of the varieties of grapes used.
