FN P90 because they are objectively the coolest guns

The white brick at the bottom is for detecting large objects (cars) and is either controlling a traffic signal, or is being used to count traffic going through that spot.

An intersection near me uses them to switch the lights at an intersection where traffic almost never comes from, so a timed light is unnecessary, but important traffic still comes from that direction.

More like “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-s sir, please stomp on me harder with your big heavy boots”

Only if you participate in an instance that tracks such things.

I know startrek.website tracks individual comments and posts, but not overall. So I would have to go back and check each individual comment and add up the total if I cared to find out how many points I have accumulated.

I know some don’t track any at all.

I know lemmy.world tracks at least comment votes.

I understand that a basic point system allows people to sort comments a little easier, but it really can reinforce echo chambers.

I am guilty of often sorting posts with dozens of comments by top vote ranking, but I try to just do oldest to newest comments.

Whether you’re right or not is irrelevant if nobody listens to you because of your tone.

As I said to someone recently, it is illegal to smash a brick into the heads of every corrupt fascist ICE thug going around committing endless acts of domestic terrorism. It is still morally correct to do so.

Illegal≠immoral/bad/wrong, legal≠moral/good/right.

“So bow to her if you like, bow to the queen of slime, the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence. Boo! BOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Still fits here, tbh

Honestly even if I liked something, telling me not to boo it will make me want to boo it.

BOOO!

🤮 What a fucking terrible day for eyes.

Still every day I hear “it’s not all black and white we can’t act rashly” shut the fuck up cletus you’re just a brain-dead tongue happily licking the shit off MAGAs boot.

Hmm I was gonna bring my safety glasses to do science, but I don’t have a poster telling me if I should or not.

If only there were some form of vaguely threatening poster and woman named Carol to better instruct people!

Regular Transporters don’t work like that. The flux matrix compensates for any discrepancies in the patterns pre- vs post-buffer.

I suppose if you built a new transporter type from the ground up instead of using these old starfleet or klingon modules, you could bypass the Bopple Corbulator entirely and the pattern buffer would accept the new parameters.

But who has time for that…

“Freeing slaves just isn’t realistic. How about letting them out for fresh air first? How about a 3/5 compromise? Ridiculous”

I read this as “maximum breast gains” and while I can sympathize with wanting more in the breast department, it seems like a long way to go to gain a few cup sizes.

Genuine question: does the IDF even bother with “internal investigations”? Obviously nobody does, but do they even pretend?

I always deadpan people who say that, make my index/middle fingers to form a V shape, then force the corners of my mouth up.

You want a smile? Go find someone who’s happy. You want service? Don’t tell me what to do and I’m willing to try and help.

It usually got a chuckle, but sometimes the person would get uncomfortable and leave like they think I’m about to stab them or something.

Or I tell them my grandmother died.

Hey now we can both be uncomfortable and wishing you hadn’t said anything!

I wonder how difficult it would be to make a heating system directly powered by solar panels. It doesn’t have to be enough heat to make a person comfortable in a t-shirt, but just enough to allow normal battery operation.

I’m sure that depends on a lot of factors like shed insulation/wall facing direction, etc, and burying the battery bank would probably be more effective.

Intrusive thoughts: “go on, poke it with a knife. See what happens firsthand”

As usual, the opponent of recycling things is simply “it’s too expensive”

The ultimate failing of the future, as always, is current reliance on capitalism.

Why recycle when you make more money by blowing up the planet and ripping out the good stuff?
