I want one of those phone-laptop devices, except with a built-in deck dock and a mechanical keyboard.

My understanding is that's usually how it works. It's just that most people usually settle for like, transformation art or VRChat and don't need to make an entire blockbuster movie trilogy to come to terms with being trans lmao

It is. I've kinda been meaning to get into it as a low-effort artistic hobby. However you're more likely to find matching puzzles made the same year by the same company than if you try to use puzzles from different years or different manufacturers (yes, some manufacturers share stencils).

I haven't, I've heard good things, I just haven't gotten around to watching it yet!

Edit: also, when it comes to the Orville, keep in mind that it starts out as a parody and gets more serious overtime. However, the Orville has 100% more female country music star cameos than star trek. That makes it better.

Yeah, no doubt it's a significant upgrade, the old vehicle's silhouette is just really iconic to me.

Do it at night when people are going to bed. Send out a message to get people to check their pagers, then detonate them. There's still a chance of collateral, but it'd be significantly lower than detonating them when people will be out in public at the cost of what I imagine would be a slightly lower chance of hitting targets.

I'm gonna miss the old design. The new one looks like someone smashed it with a looney tunes hammer.

Hezbollah uses pagers for communication. Israel intercepted shipments of pagers and rigged them with bombs. Then, an unspecified amount of time later, Israel detonated them during the day, yanno, when people would be out and about in public places. Thousands of bombs went off across Lebanon and killed and injured children, elderly people, and adults.

Of course, mainstream media is trying to pretend that Israel didn't potentially commit what should be considered a warcrime while assholes on social media are spinning this as a masterfully precise and accurate strike that didn't have a considerable amount of collateral (I've literally seen someone say "only people with something to hide would be around a pager in this day and age" verbatim), and that anyone injured or killed was a member of Hezbollah.

Like, what if one of those had been on a plane when it went off?

When ISIS plants bombs on people and detonates them in public places then it's a bad thing. Israel does it and everyone stands, claps and tips everyone with $100% bills.

Edit: I honestly wonder if it's only a matter of time before some IDF or Mossad shithead hijacks a plane and flies it into the Burj Khalifa.

Tomatoes actually make me want to vomit. Peppers aren't as bad (especially spicy ones because the spice helps cover up the texture), and I will happily eat salsa, tomato sauce, ketchup, catsup (I swear catsup and ketchup taste slightly different), and basically anything with tomatoes so long as they're small and consistent enough. However, the texture of raw tomatoes? Eugh. Cherry tomatoes are worse. They pop in your mouth like eyeballs. Ew.

I'm more enbyace and like computer bits and books, but basically the same. My ideal living space is either a hobbit hole in a temperate rainforest, a renovated convenience store well above the arctic circle within a Finnish forest, or a forgotten Sinclair gas station (with the dinosaur and everything) in the middle of the New Mexican desert.

I'm sure the patent made sense at the time, but it seems pretty generic now. Additionally, shouldn't the patent have expired at this point? Why is it still being enforced?

I feel like this should unironically be a war crime. The potential for collateral is ridiculously high.

Edit: I'm amazed at how successfully this is being spun as a highly-targeted, high-precision attack with no collateral when it's pretty much the opposite. You can't control what they do with the pagers after they get them. Ffs there were kids killed.
