I remember damage. And escape. Fan of #crows, #StarTrek and the #Japanese language, among many other things. Currently posting one frog species per day. If I keep this up, I should be done in about 20 years. My toots are searchable.
Close. Check out this article from a few days ago, where he's revealed to have drug and gun convictions, and to be 52 years old, meaning he was a 38-year-old "young man" in 2009.
(In this case, his defense is, "“I was sick fighting cancer, and I got myself in trouble. I had to sell my pain medications to pay for my health insurance.”)
ABC News: Months after leaving the White House, Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about US nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago club -- an Australian billionaire who then allegedly shared the information with scores of others, including more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists. https://abcnews.go.com/US/after-white-house-trump-allegedly-discussed-potentially-sensitive/story?id=103760456
Has anybody considered making Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene the Speaker of the House? Obviously they'll get nothing done, but the resulting dumpster fire of them being confronted with their own incompetence will at least be entertaining to watch.
You may have seen the quote, "The real danger is not that computers will become like men, but that men will become like computers." I'll now argue against this claim. First let me --hold on, I have to log in. Nope, that's not the password. Nope, that's not it either. OK, let's click "Forgot password." Ah. Let me go get my phone real quick to check the MFA verification code. "Please select all squares that show traffic lights." Hm, this is taking forEVER. Let's check the wifi. "Enter password"?!
Sentence that didn't age well from Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897): "We sat down on a bench within good view, and began to smoke cigars so as to attract as little attention as possible."
@gregorni I'd say there's a difference in meaning. "Remove" = wipe all the software and all associated files off of your system. "Uninstall" = leave user-defined customizations and configurations on the system, so that when you reinstall, your software is customized/configured the same way as before.
Today in Labor History September 19, 1952: The United States barred Charlie Chaplin from re-entering the country after a trip to England. In 1947, his black comedy, Monsieur Verdoux, was released. In the film, he criticized capitalism and its reliance on wars and weapons of mass destruction. The FBI launched a formal investigation of him 1947, after public accusations that he was a communist. Chaplin denied the charges, calling himself a “peace monger.” Nevertheless, he protested the HUAC hearings and the U.S. trials of Communist Party members. Representative John Rankin called Chaplin's presence in Hollywood “detrimental to the moral fabric of America.” Writer George Orwell prepared list of people he believed were communists, which he gave to British intelligence before he died in 1949. The list included Chaplin and Michael Redgrave, as well as Paul Robeson, Katherine Hepburn, John Steinbeck and Orson Welles.
Sarah and Allie slip on some armbands and kick march around the studio… No, I’m not doing this. I refuse to put swastikas on our cartoons and there’s no good jokes to write here about this literal Nazi episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. Listen to this episode, punch a Nazi, and learn from history.
@humanisttrek To comment on this episode's question: I was walking around the city of The Hague in the early 2000s, while Paul Verhoeven was filming the WW2 movie Black Book. I arrived at a square where a big, old building was adorned with huge red nazi flags with swastikas hanging from its facade. That was definitely weird enough that I still remember it today.
@Andy_Scollick The first question any good journalist should ask when talking to a person in a powerful position, speaking on behalf of his or her government, is, "Why are they telling me this?"
And in the case of Russia, I don't think that "Because it's true" is necessarily the only possible answer to that question.
It’s the 1-year Anniversary of Humanist Trek! Allie and Sarah’s bodies are taken over by ancient aliens that may be our great great great grandparents, Dr. Pulaski’s excited to host an alien katra, and Nurse Chapel finally gets Spock inside her. OH MYYY.
@humanisttrek Hey, not to rain on your parade, but I listened to this episode and it sounds like you mis-edited the Booming Voices into the rest of the episode: they constantly overlap with your normal dialogue.
In 100,000 years an alien ship enters our solar system. The earth has no remarkable intelligent life, but it's a beautiful biodiverse planet recovering from some bad extinctions. The aliens don't notice the traces left by humanity right away, this is just a survey trip and not much monumental remains.
But, they do pick up a signal, coming not from Earth, but from Mars. "How strange?" they think. Mars is obviously the inferior planet for life. Earth is incredible. But they go to investigate. 1/
