It absolutely does, so epic & grand scale everything.

By geeks, for geeks.

Its fantastic.

Oh, totally!

Maybe bring a bed, chill for a while, talk to neutrinos.

The perfectly silent dream:

Always satanise your inputs.

It’s not really a problem of lack of know-how, not even a problem of mass production (some industries made the transition for various reasons). It’s a problem of a monopoly with dirty lobbies & gov subsidies.

Yeah, if I did the work (a full minute :)) & someone else can benefit from it too it just means less net work was expended.

Also clip shows should only contain clips that never aired before, or completely new ones (like IASIP).

The first two sub-6.0 episodes are clip shows.

wiki S06E03:

“Another Simpsons Clip Show” is the third episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 25, 1994. In the episode, Marge reads a romance novel in bed, and it prompts her to have a family meeting, where the Simpson family recall their past loves in form of clips from previous episodes.

wiki S09E11:

“All Singing, All Dancing” is the eleventh episode of the ninth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 4, 1998. In the fourth Simpsons clip show, Homer claims he hates singing, so Marge shows family videos of musical numbers from previous seasons. The episode is in the form of a sung-through musical, featuring spoken dialogue only at the start and end of the episode. The original material was directed by Mark Ervin and written by Steve O’Donnell. It was executive produced by David Mirkin. It features guest appearances from George Harrison, Patrick Stewart and Phil Hartman, although these are all clips and none of them recorded original material for the episode.

The last few seasons had a big jump in plot quality imho, with some exceptional episodes. But also yes, 10 years ago entire seasons felt comparatively bland & empty. I also feel like I would rate early seasons a bit lower today than at the time.

… server/enterprise level HDDs are loud af, I swear some brands are dedicated to it.

That leaves us only with the tiny WD Red Plus (but not Red Pro), above 20TB afaik only Exos (from X21 onwards) doesn’t alert the neighbours.

But in (second half-ish?) of 90s HDDs differed a lot in terms of loudness. I was one of those nerds with custom (fully home made) water loop just to achieve some level of quietness.

Can you get someone pregnant with that? Should you wear a condom around it or just raw-dog it in battle?

Also, those aren’t sparks that fly off of it.

The upgraded version is called the ‘santorum-saber’.

But spinal-tap-saber would be pretty metal.

Sticky yet cutty.

… blood-magic-saber … nice.

But that implies the existence of other bodily fluids sabres.

Finally, a worthy successor contemporary companion to the great trebuchet.

I always wondered who cleans all the marker “art”/graffiti from those panels on Voyager.

“It would appear that someone drew what is commonly referred to as ‘cock & balls’ style of art on my long-range scanner console, again, perhaps in an attempt to achieve humour. I shall review the security logs and crew medical data to find whoever did this.”

“Acknowledged. And find out where are they getting whiteboard markets, it might be some unknown alien technology.”

At meetings, do you keep fiddling with it?

And when presenting something, do you pretend to read from it?

Ah, yes, when humans build & use something for good. I forget sometimes about that. That reminds me, I should donate some moneys to Wikipedia again.

… oh, you are right, now I fell dumb, I should use that more often, it would have worked perfectly in so many situations.

I am trying something similar irl, basically announcing my intentions (not just sarcasm) & trying not to feel weird in the sort of way like when somebody tells a joke & then starts to explain it immediately afterwards.

Eg: I’m genuinely happy you pointed that do directly, I’m not being sarcastic.

I was trying to be a bit funny but I forgot that I’m not funny, (I’m) just a joke.
