That’s what keeping all that latinum in your second stomach does to you.

Good thing he got rid of all that worthless gold though. That stuff is toxic.

I would say it’s a war against knowledge and critical thinking. Those two things threaten their control and reasoning. Why else fear books or competing ideologies?

It’s one thing for the deer to see headlights coming at it. It’s another for it to know what it means and what it should do.

Is it weird that I still want to go for my PhD despite all the feedback about the process? I don’t think I’ve ever met a PhD or candidate that’s enthusiastically said “do it!”

Ngl if it weren’t for my soul crushing student loan debt, I’d do this. Not to qualify for jobs or gloat, I just love learning.

I hope to start a PhD before 40 but the finances and family life aren’t looking too promising.

I was going to joke and say: that’s like, what, warp 0.0001.

In the Star Trek universe, warp factors are a way to measure faster-than-light travel. The speed of light is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (km/s). To convert your given speed of 32,000 km/hr into a warp factor, we need to use the formula that relates warp factor to the speed of light:

v = c * (w^(10/3))

where:

•	v is the speed in multiples of the speed of light (c),
•	w is the warp factor.

First, convert 32,000 km/hr into kilometers per second (km/s):

32,000 km/hr = 32,000 / 3,600 km/s ≈ 8.89 km/s

Now, find the warp factor using the speed of light:

w = (v / c)^(1 / (10/3))

w = (8.89 km/s / 299,792 km/s)^(1 / (10/3))

Calculate the fraction inside the parentheses:

8.89 / 299,792 ≈ 0.00002967

Now raise this to the power of 3/10:

0.00002967^(3/10) ≈ 0.000657

So, approximately:

w ≈ 0.000657

Therefore, a speed of 32,000 km/hr corresponds to a very low warp factor, approximately Warp 0.000657 in the Star Trek scale.

I was wondering how they’d manage to sell them without getting slammed by FDA and law enforcement. Of course it doesn’t contain the real deal! I’d guess you’re right about the mushroom strain, or at least some contamination occurred.

Picard! Why are you so damn relatable?

Woohoo! I came so so close to buying Callisto on sale the other day.

A good mall trip as a kid was Toysrus, KB Toys, Spencer’s, Tower Records/Coconuts/Sam Goody, Imaginarium or Marbles.

Then wash it down with Rainforest Cafe or Sakura Japan.

And Marbles! Man, we shopped at the same stores lol

Wait. It’s hosted on a Russian site or that’s your system language?

I refuse to look myself and end up on a CIA list lol

Q292640261046a: the IRL planet from Harold Halibut

…I really need to get tested for ADHD. This community has single-handedly convinced me.

It’s always loss.

Took me two reads but it made me snort. God damn that’s clever.

My reaction to it was weird. I was kind of digging it for the most part in the beginning thinking I’d get hooked like I did with Ori.

But that never happened and somewhere mid game it just felt like it was dragging, the characters felt stale, and it seemed difficult for the sake of being difficult instead of clever. I struggle enjoying games that require perfectly timed button press combos. I even went back and tried it again like a month ago and had the same experience.

That’s not a knock on the game, of course. It’s a huge fan fave for a reason but it’s just not my preference.

I visited a few out of mindless curiosity and ignorance. I have no idea wtf I read and now the FBI is after me…

For something that I really hesitated to post, that was really encouraging to hear. Thanks!

I hated Hollow Knight. I decided I wanna try Sekiro and I’m waiting for it to go on sale (who knows when). But this? Man I want to play this. It looks incredible and has amazing sound design.

I know that feeling all too well. Funny enough, I’d thought about going into software dev because I thought it’d let me work alone more comfortably. Along the way I found a way to learn dev but apply it to my job instead, making me pretty unique at what I do. It lets me innovate, do deep research, and work on my own while being pretty openly anti-social. Luckily I have a boss who sees the value in me.

I can’t tell you the number of once-interns and junior managers, stuck-in-a-rut folks, that I’ve quietly influenced to senior or higher positions. It really does feel incredible! I call it “leading from the back.” I’ve been wanting to write a book on it - the introverts and individual-contributors who quietly (and happily) influence without being seen.
