Oh. You mean The Big Giant Head.

The John Lithgow version is better. Partly because it’s better produced, but also because Shatner… Well… He shatners the shock of it all.

There’s something… On the plane!

…but then you’re losing quick copy and paste.

Select text then middle click on the window you want to paste it. No keys. Select and a single click.

Of course, if you have more than three mouse buttons you can do both.

It’s arch. There’ll be no issue here.

No

You have a plug hole in your canoe?

The last decade has brought a lot of clarity to me on this. People follow the herd and are tribal. If a movement gains enough momentum, most people will go along with it even if it’s “against their principles”. There are very few people that will stand up in front of an advancing hoard and say “Stop! This is wrong.”

I suspect Nazi Germany was the same. Most people will have accepted what was happening as the price of an easy life, and it wasn’t until it was too late that they realised what had happened.

You don’t give up ever.

You pursue a better solution whenever one presents itself.

I can give you √2 which is 16-bits of information as characters. It’s also an irrational number. How you express something doesn’t change the amount of information is contained in the message.

I remember going to Auckland in the 90s and being amazed how low everything was considering it’s size. Wellington was vertical. Auckland was horizontal.

At least, that’s how it felt.

In the UK and a city? Probably Liverpool and because of The Beatles.

A Town? Well it certainly used to be Lockerbie where Pan-Am flight 103 crashed after a terrorist bombing just before Christmas 1988. It was on it’s way from London to New York.

Probably not known by the younger generations though.

<sigh> stop with the “right-wing ideological white men” thing. It’s not political at this point.

A lot of “racially aware” writers seem to have ended up in a headspace where they can’t write white without making them a punching bag. It’s obvious. It’s childish. It’s racist. People of all races will be angry when their only representation in a piece of work is a lazy stereotype. You don’t need to be right-wing for that.

You can say “well now they know how it feels”, but that just means you’ve also sunk to the lowest level.

Unless race is critical to the plot, there’s no need to lean into it. Emphasising division breeds division. Just write a good story.

I was going to say something similar, but thinking everyone is “cunt”.

Yes, it’s gender neutral.

…and then incinerate them at the other end of life.

The same number of Americans chose him this time as last time. What changed is that 13M Americans stayed at home rather than vote for Harris instead of Biden.

I’m not sure there is. The whole point of these anti-cheat systems is to detect running on modified setups that allow for the injection of code. An emulator is one such system.
