Where do I find these dime sized rubies for 20 bucks?

You and me both! I was homeschooled as a kid, which for me meant I got to self direct my schooling to a degree. One of my favorite things was my mom would let me just read wiki articles that I liked, but then I had to go do real research to confirm everything. Fucking loved that. Lol.
This is really interesting. Honestly, listening to it without reading your comment, I would never have guessed he was American. He speaks English with an accent that reminds me of Indian people who have gone through British education. Same kind of accent as the recreations of Swamiji Vivekananda. Do you have any idea if that was an affectation because of his relocation to the UK, or if that's a lost American accent?
Too soon. #JusticeForTuvix #TryJanewayAtTheHague
This is unrelated to OP's stuff, but I've never had a chance to interact with an admin, and I have a question if you don't care. I'm mostly computer illiterate, but I thought a fun way to learn a few things would be to set up a single user lemmy instance. Not to host any communities or anything, just to host my account. But with the recent shit about CSAM I'm now worried about that. Like, would I be at risk of something like that getting on my server if it was on a server I federated with? I don't want to risk exposing myself to that kind of stuff. I'm very glad I wasn't one of the unfortunate people to click on one of those links last week, and it genuinely freaks me out. I don't wanna see that shit.
I am in the picture and I do not like it
More personally a fan of using the Human Era calendar (making it year 12023), but seeing any other calendar system just makes me smile. I love shit like this.
Ohhh. Gotcha. I need to start adding a signature to my comments that I am, in fact, a dumdum when it comes to anything tech. Lol.
Which instance defed'd from us?
I'd love to see the US fully mapped out with true highspeed rail, but part of the problem is the amount of time off work Americans have. We're guaranteed nothing, and a pretty good portion of us have to use vacation time for sick days. A travel option that takes longer isn't going to take off here because of that. People won't spend an extra day travelling, changing trains, et cetera, when their entire vacation is a 3 day weekend so that they only have to use one vacation day in case they have to take their kid to the doctor 4 months later.
Not even close to arguing against the trains, just saying that we need to change some other shit, too. We need better labor laws that couple with things like forced caps on flights, less subsidiaries for airlines, the tracks being nationalized, priority given to Amtrak on certain lines, and better accessibility on the trains themselves.
Because they're grown now, and have asked star fleet not to use their image in any promotional material. They're still salty about being abandoned.
