I mean, thanks?

You literally helped us audit to make sure Lockheed has no Chinese stuff.

Where was that offer 4 years ago?

Can't take Ukraine, that's like the US getting our asses humiliated by Canada then threatening China if they don't stop laughing.

Fucking jokes.

We never called, he called because he misread his 6 as a 9 and didn't realize he had a busted straight.

Agreed the previous episode was deeper. This was more wobbly.

I'll give terminus a miss, but this is just more ass-pulling powers of "the vault"/"prime radiant"/"mentalics". That's probably my biggest gripe, they have teleportation technology, they should be able to just replace day or others and take over the empire that way, they have super-magic and can predict the future, but they act like they're the underdogs.

Gaal is slightly less annoying now, but still the most obnoxious character, it's probably good that salvor died, her character barely fit under gaal, it was awkward, she kept looking to Gaal for guidance when she had more and better experience.

What was most creepy was the undertones of demerzel and her exponents, they really were both trapped in this, and her loyalty wasn't to any of the living but to the continuation, so imagine how many cleons must have been inconvenient and were removed. Empire is a damaged airliner with no-one at the stick.

Saw something like that coming in the scene with the spacer mother and daughter talking, it looked like she knew she was sacrificing herself and was dealing with it. Still don't get why hober needed that implant, the spacer in command literally synced with her mom directly, and can apparently do that from anywhere too, just seemed like a completely meaningless macguffin.

Edit: Why would the spacers go ahead with the deal with their ally's main planet was just vaporized? Where is the ophelium going to come from? Doesn't that make Empire's wrath more terrifying?

The first one was great, the second not so much, hopefully they get it back this time.

I didn't know chatGPT0 had a bot here.

First and second rules exist for a reason.

I moved most of my apps into containers, the key is having your pulseaudio socket be accessible to the container and then editing /etc/pulse/client.conf in the container to point to that socket path.

Glx and all the major things work in containers, just a few bits of flakeyness you usually work through.

We'll be moving bulk storage to molten sodium over the next 3 decades, lithium will be for high density applications, but they're working on sodium-air designs because the density is even higher than lion.

Christianity as a religion is laudable.

Christianity as a political ideology is terrifying.

Because at some point one of the scientists learned how to reprogram somatic cells by experimenting on embryonic stem cells.

Mostly it's because the man who yells about God on the tv while demanding money for his 5th private jet said so, plus the south is represented in government by the best and brightest of its used car salesmen.
