The Thick of It

A show regarding a random UK ministry and the random cluster fuck off politics. The 12th Doctor is an enforcer from the PM’s office with a prolific use of profanity.

The writer ended up creating Veep in the USA.

and he’s really into nightlife and partying.

Everything else I wouldn’t blink at, but I would wonder what kind of places Dad likes to party at.

It is more that there are fewer people who are more like-minded.

If Lemmy were to get larger, moderation would become more required.

It depends on the instance admins.

Also, you’ve had mod abuse, now you can have admin abuse here.

That manhole cover.

Don’t.

I don’t think that the current structure is set up for growth. The devs have stated that they don’t see preparing for growth as a priority and we haven’t seen the kind of mod tools needed for a larger audience.

I also don’t see an onboarding process that has been created to explain to new users how a Federated Lemmy is different from Reddit.

Don’t just go to the city council, but reach out to others in the community. Politicians are a lot more likely to listen to a group of people than an individual.

Large corporations, especially those related to tech, will generally have a research arm of some form performing university level research. Outside of attempting to use the research to argue that their companies aren’t a harm to society, the research is generally legit.

The corporations generally do it to stay competitive. In the near term, research can be used to create patentable technology and new products. In the long term, the research can give an idea on what can be technically achievable in the future, allowing companies to increase their predictive capabilities.

The producers knew they were going to fire someone. At point, it was Garrett Wang (Ensign Kim), but he ended up on a TV Guide top 100 hottest people on TV list.

My guess is that the producers picked Jennifer Lien (Kes) because they were already getting better eye candy already, the writers seemed to be having problems writing for Kes, and it was kind of awkward to have Starfleet officers hitting on a nine year old.

It is cliche, but people are stupid and don’t understand current chess strategy.

For digital photography, the only thing I wish I really knew was how to clean the sensor sooner. I made a decent choice with the tech stack for the camera.

I didn’t need to buy a base amount of Legos to create my own designs.

I use it as an example. There are certain actions that people can put to their autonomous reaction. Some of those actions include being able to communicate with others and being able to act in sync with others.

You may be able to perform complex physical actions by yourself, but you have issues processing outside human stimulus at a fast enough speed to play rock paper scissors at the same place that others do.

I mention walking as a base level, but I can extend it beyond that.

As a weird example, I’m going to mention swing dancing. It is supposed to be random acts of dancing by those who are dancing with each other. Doing so requires the following:

• Identifying the tempo of the song
• Moving your feet to the tempo
• Giving or receiving direction through tactical contact only.
• Positioning your body based on the tempo of the music, your footwork, and the direction either given or received.

And a lot of dancing and other movement based communication is at a level where you don’t have to think about the individual movements even if the movements aren’t planned out. You seem to have to consciously think about these movements while others around you don’t have to.

Seriously, how is this game played so quickly?

My brain doesn’t need to think through each step; it is automatic.

Think of all the steps needed to walk, including monitoring tilt. You don’t need to think about walking, you just walk automatically.

Technology is a tool. Treat it as one.

It depends on how far you’ve gone. Most Star Trek shows of the era took a while to get up to speed.

Voyager has a cadence similar to TNG except that the various species that Voyager interacts with changes over time. After the Kazon, the new species are better designed and fleshed out.

Seven of Nine is a far better designed character than Kes and the writing for her was so much better. It also seems like the show was able to identify the characters that could carry an episode.

Billy Joel was a major baseball fan, so I expect some baseball references in the new song.

Home run records shatter in the 90’s caused by steroids.

Yankee dominance in the 90’s but couldn’t win in 2001.

World Baseball Classic where the US doesn’t win.

Dumpster Astros.

Alot

I didn’t want to install the official Reddit app on my phone.
