Yeah, which makes the burn story kinda flop at the end. It was a good idea, a resource everyone has become dependent on becomes scarce. There was a lot of untaped potential there IMO, but a great premise. Then it gets turned into this asnine root cause. They could have done so much better. Imagine if they turned it into a tragedy of the commons. A warp superhighway wore a crack in subspace and that interacted with a nebula or something. It was a death of a thousand cuts and everyone ignored it. Maybe Starfleet even knew it could happen but ignored it because that’s how they have always done it, and even if Starfleet stopped the cardasians and the gorn etc would still be using dilithum based warp bubbles (excuse after excuse)… Heavy handed, maybe, but more meaningful.
They used to have a reputation for employing smart people… Dumbass middle managers took over a while back and started making the stupidest decisions.
I paid for AMdroid because I can set profiles, Geo fence, have math problems to turn off alarms, fade in music, turn on my flashlight… All the bells and whistles. I would love a FOSS version, but many try to be single feature. I like all the things.
Maybe the CCP is paying the difference?
This is very helpful, thank you.
I have a Zone Vibe 100 headset and I like it. I don’t use the mic so I can’t speak to that, but it seems pretty solid to me.
Have you seen paper made? There is a reason paper mills are usually on rivers.

That what the pandemic was for. Empty offices with no one at their desk …
No fucking way. It’s a PMA device. The rub is that M. it stands for market. As in clinical trials have a lower threshold.
I think Heinlein did that a lot. I think stranger and a strange land is him looking at the hippie culture and taking it to a sci-fi extreme. I don’t think he was trying to advocate for anything. In particular, a lot of his books was about trying to protect the future and see how that would affect people.
RIP
Really liked the fire upon the deep and it’s sequels.
Hyper capitalist emotional exploitation.
Take a normal human emotion, feed it through a system optimized to wring out profit, this is what is left.

From the rest of the context I realized it just means log, but still. I found it very amusing. I told the folks I was working with that I learned two new words that day.
