You can just look up the information on the web, but how do you know whether to trust that information?

With open source, it’s easy to get caught lying, or even just pushing on the boundaries of good ethics (cough Ubuntu cough).

If it’s controversial, it is possible to verify the claims.

what’s a house?

It’s like a really fancy cardboard box under a really nice bridge.

So gold is inflation-proof?

Yes, but only to the extent that you can store it, defend it and find a buyer when needed.

Gold loses value at exactly the rate of the cost of the armed guards you are paying to keep it from being stolen.

Pay too little, and it takes its value to someone else who is better armed or sneakier.

And if someone set aside gold for you that you have never seen, no they didn’t.

I don’t want to eat an intelligent creature!

It’s okay. These dolphins spent all their money gambling.

Oh. Alright then.

COULD HAVE FOOLED ME! AAH HAHHAHAHA!

Yes. I would meet at “yes”, as well.

I’m not saying. Nice try possibly Federal Internet cut-off clean-up assassin team!

If I told JP Allard that I did not find their work authentic, I’m sure they would say “You’re absolutely right!”

I really liked the person the targeted ads thought I was, back when I saw ads.

They were often targeting an idealized version of myself.

Haha. I didn’t say we should. I’m just pointing out that it’s an option, again.

If you have no junior developers, who will turn into senior developers later on?

At least it isn’t my problem. As long as I have CrowdStrike, Cloudflare, Windows11, AWS us-east-1 and log4j… I can just keep enjoying today’s version of the Internet, unchanged.

We could choose to believe that same folks who previously told us that cocaine, asbestos, lead, and tobacco smoke were healthy / perfectly safe / not really harmful.

Still somehow too soon.

I want to like this, but wasn’t I promised Commander Tilly. Where’s Commander Tilly?!

Interesting that the Klingon cadet is in blue. There are ways that political tension around cloaking technology could play into his stories.

I had a teacher once who had made a kind of guide/map of the Trek slash/fic community, at the time.

It was fascinating and delightful.

Obvious Kirk/Spock is the classic, but apparently the kinky side end of the Trek community is strong, passionate and creative.

Hmmm. A recurring cameo role for Jim Rash (Dean Pelton from Community) would buy a great deal of goodwill, from me.

Are we sure it’s not an AI head swap? It does feel off.

Edit: At best, it feels like they took an AI pass to correct some lighting or something.

There’s a significant lack of excitement for “90210 in space” in this thread, so I’m gonna try to defend the idea.

It sounds kind of fun, to me. I liked NuTrek, though. The part of NuTrek I disliked was it’s snap back to status-quo before the end of the first film.

Seeing inexperienced cadets do cool space stuff, I’m down for.

I can’t help but still feel excited for this premier, from this ad. Maybe they knew it didn’t matter how they presented it, haha.

Also, they really underestimated Marina Sirtis’ impact on the series, based on her placement here.
