twat in american is a far harsher word than in englisj

geil = horny

is that the origin of the German word?

I’m quite impressed by the elaborate regex for the n word

ni((g{2,}|q)+|[gq]{2,})[e3r]+(s|z)?

wouldn’t they just laugh/smirk at the idea of enslaving humanity as a power resource? Or do you mean conquering their enemies by placing them into pleasant simulations before assimilating them?

would like to read more about this. I know he’s a fan, but I’m just cringing at the idea of the Cornetto trilogy expanding into Delta Quadrant…

I feel the same way about any IP remake these days.

Wasn’t she a grown up in the comics long before Disney sunk their teeth in?

There’s a recent episode in Lower Decks where they liberate a planet from capitalism… by essentially taking all the “worthless” gold and jewels and giving it to Space Pirate Royalty to broker a peace deal between them and the Federation.

I don’t doubt that the majority of the occupants of said planet are now happier not having to grind for capital…, but apparently having capital is still an immensely useful resource that the Federation is happy to, uh, quietly commandeer in lieu of payment for its, uh, services to the planet(?)

let’s not forget GIMP expert

(oh sorry, but) I’ve heard this argument before. All I can say is that in my experience, when the system is out of memory, it kills some process (e.g. the UI) which upon restarting resets the networking

If you are who I think you are, we’ve probably had this discussion before. Even with an always on VPN, if the system runs out of memory it will kill the VPN first before the browser. In a perfect world the traffic would still be routed into a dead tunnel. From what I’ve seen, once the VPN is killed, the tunnel device is gone and the default route snaps back to wlan

Then you can exclude the VPN app from OOM.

I didn’t know about this feature. what’s the config?

Also, if you have a limited RAM smartphone and your VPN is operating in userspace, then all it takes is for one really large image to grace your smartphone screen for your OS to go into out-of-memory kill mode. What’s it going to kill? The foreground app you’re trying to use, or the background VPN app.

In my experience, the VPN goes down before the browser does. Mounting a swap on your phone is not the worse solution against this, but the UI starts to get really unresponsive.

I thought it was pushed away by the explosion and the trails were powder mixed with air coming off the tyres or something. Kill me?

Oh yeah. I guess I was just sold by the tyre trails coming off the black car. It’s a nice touch.

Holy shit I got this one:

I’m trying to work out if it’s real or not. It’s from 2013, so I guess VFX wasn’t so great back then, but then… where? and when? and why?

Edit: I’ve been duped by mediocre graphics, don’t worry I’m writing my will as we speak.

Doesn’t exist. I was also surprised that this was not NFC-related tech, but google/apple-specific.

I guess it makes sense - you need some kind of authority to validate/take blame for transactions (outside of the hot mess of block chain), I had just always presumed that the tech didn’t need much to work.

What does a delicious chocolate spread consisting mostly of (now) palm oil and some hazelnuts have to do with this?

That’s really good to hear, and that the isolation gave you the perspective

How did you/your partner cope?
