What's the scale? It might be a passable seafood fork.
If you remove the speeches from Trek, don't you just end up with the kind of content everyone seems to be complaining about in JJ-Trek?
Correct, and that's my problem with it: it gets abused too often, so it's on my "this is why we can't have nice things" list.
Agree with acid. Fuck nutmeg though, I'm tired of sauces with nutmeg. It does not give it a je ne sais quoi, it just makes it taste like fucking nutmeg.
Honestly, crap like glass backs increases the weight more than a bigger battery. I have both a Pixel 4a and an 8. The 8 is barely bigger than the 4a, but 40 grams heavier.
Characters in dystopian settings with clean faces with makeup, and perfectly coiffed hair. You're telling me that whoever built your doomsday vault decided that a 10 year supply of concealer, mascara, lipstick, etc should be part of a survival kit?
When I first chose a big phone it was because I was tired of looking up information on web sites that required a lot of side scrolling on a small screen. Bigger screens and higher DPI made them easier to read.
Then the sites got redesigned using newer frameworks, and now sites require even more side scrolling because of all that f*"**ing padding.
Nowadays I don't care about the size of the phone any more, it's all about battery life and weight.
I'm surprised that no one has suggested classic point and click adventure games other than Grim Fandango:
- Day of the Tentacle / Maniac Mansion
- Full Throttle
- The Monkey Island series
- Sam & Max
- Police Quest
- Simon the Sorcerer
- Leisure Suit Larry
- Thimbleweed Park
Someone mentioned Ultima VII. If you're into RPGs then check out the Wizardry series, Blade of Destiny, Betrayal at Krondor, and Dungeon Siege. Oh, and Final Fantasy VII (original) and VIII.
Also take a look at the GoG catalogue for games released before 2010 or so. Most non-AAA games should run on your system.
Or they work in a regulated industry that requires pseudo-airgapped machines for remote users, e.g. the machine actually interacting with the systems needs to be within the controlled boundary but the company has a presence in multiple locations, so the solution is to have a Citrix server that the users remote into. But because the SSP also has access control requirements at every stage that take a long time to get updated to newest industry standards, the user still needs to have passwords rotated, MFA, and all that kaboodle.
Education. When I was young I grew up in a Catholic household, in a city where being Catholic is the norm, in a country that is very religious and superstitious as a norm. And then I had the opportunity to go on a student exchange and get immersed in different cultures, and I realized "these people have their own beliefs, a different religion, but they have the same ethics as me." So I started leaning towards agnosticism - let everyone believe in what they want, to themselves. Years later I went to college, and had my first experience of Southern Baptist religion. That one rubbed me the wrong way. There was just so much disdain for anything different, so much "believe me because I said so". That's where I realized I didn't believe in God, or the afterlife - I believed in ethical behavior, and in being good to other humans. The rest just fell into place after that. I really like Penn Jilette's point: "I have no God, and I murder and rape all I want. And the amount of murdering and raping I want to do is exactly zero."
What this actually shows is how much previous governments fucked up and how desperate and angry the Argentine people were that this clown started to look like a good idea. To those with an outside perspective it was always obvious that this would only end badly, but to them it was an "any port in a storm" situation.
