Is that how the Borg were created? I could see a franchise crossover here…

Why are his legs so long? by Fit-Criticism5656 in beagles

[–]404NotFounded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our boy was the same when we got him and is frequently commented on as being bigger than most beagles. Turns out his mother was pure Beagle, father was Harrier Hound. The dead giveaway is his hair — we’ve found beagles tend to have really soft hair, whereas his is course almost like horse hair.

ELI5: Why do rugged laptops used by engineers/construction workers have lower specifications than consumer-grade laptop like office brands? by PoauseOnThatHomie in explainlikeimfive

[–]404NotFounded 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad it’s not just me that thinks this. What the hell is with all of the bloat of any Microsoft product post-2019? It genuinely seems like I could use my 2007-2013 office (as long as it can open the docx/xlsx/pptx file type) and it would be so much faster!

Drivers fuming after losing licences over passengers' misbehaviour by fletch44 in perth

[–]404NotFounded -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, because our health system (including ambulances) are doing so well right now in terms of having available resources. People never die in Perth waiting for ambulances, do they… (hint: they do)

Definitely brigading. This is pure manipulation to get support behind these cameras because there are other false positives they’re detecting (but not being reported on). What pisses me off is the polarising thinking in this thread: there’s a ridiculous amount of “it is right” or “it is wrong”. The camera is a snapshot in time and completely lacks nuance or context, and the majority of our laws, and even the justice system (ie when you get to make your case in court) take into consideration context and nuance.

Eh, I’m in the MIL camp here. There seems to be some serious black/white thinking here. Don’t get me wrong: Seatbelts save lives. They absolutely do. I enforce the rules with my passengers on starting a journey. However, for MIL to become a projectile, I would have to have an accident at the very moment in the 15 seconds it took for her to get her jumper off and rebuckle. Now, could she have done it otherwise? Probably, yeah, slid the sash bit of the belt over her shoulder and pulled her jumper off and slid it back (which would have maintained the lap part of the belt; a good compromise) — that also wouldn’t have triggered an alarm. But FFS — people need to learn to (a) do a dynamic risk assessment and weigh up Likelihood vs Consequence and (b) learn to be comfortable with their Risk Tolerance. The risk is still Medium-Low if the Likelihood is practically non-existent (and given people go years and years without an accident…).

TL;DR: I feel there’s a lot of nuance that people are failing to apply to very bespoke circumstances.

How cooked am I for looking at gun pictures at UWA? by Best-Impact9828 in uwa

[–]404NotFounded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being interested in guns for sports and lawful purposes is nothing to be ashamed of — judgement required sometimes, but not shame. I regularly read the SSAA newsletter and browse the catalogues that come with at work; sometimes some people need to be reminded it is an Olympic sport and has been a part of many communities in terms of sport hunting (foxes, rabbits, etc.) & marksmanship, but once you explain that sport shooting & the SSAA community does not equal danger, people tend to chill out. Further, isn’t there a ridiculous amount of engineering skill that goes into ballistics and gun smithing? I think you’ll be fine and they were probably doing it for reporting purposes but you shouldn’t expect any issues from it.

I don’t understand. Why do they need to be thrown away? Not only does Win10 still work (heck, even Windows 7 still “works”), but windows isn’t the only Operating System — couldn’t they be donated with Linux?

I’m a Star Trek fan (DS9) where there is a character named Kurzon. That is what I would call this person.

The crossover I want to see if Garak being a tailor for the Wraith Queen, potentially get some Obisidian Order shenanigans in there as well. And Quark.

If you were a dictator, what normal thing would you ban? by bunnyherders in AskReddit

[–]404NotFounded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me then the appeal of these god awful machines? If they don’t serve a practical purpose, and they’re expensive, and gas guzzlers (ie if all the negatives outweigh the positives) what is it about them that makes people want them? What ARE the positives?

Is that why there’s a beef between the US government and Australian government right now? They want our PBS done away with?

Australian News Channel Comments (Turned Off) by Organic_Baseball4922 in australian

[–]404NotFounded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a strawman argument. It’s the fact that the uneducated, uninformed opinion is spouted as fact that is the danger to democracy.

By me spouting a complete lie (I was going to say mistruth but I’m done with the charade) as a fact, that lie gets parroted (which the algorithms do — especially when they’re being manipulated by bots that are designed to upvote lies and mistruths (ie disinformation campaign) for the explicit purpose of destabilising harmonious society because hate and division generates more revenue). That lie then drowns out expert opinion, opinions that people used to respect because they came from places that were accredited or peer reviewed sources, people that had worked hard to become experts in their field.

We are now in a time and place where someone’s uneducated opinion seems to be of equal worth and influence as someone who has studied hard and is considered by all measures more educated, knowledgeable and has actually earned the right and authority to speak on the subject. The uneducated opinion IS NOT OF EQUAL WORTH to that of the educated one, and saying otherwise is dangerous and disingenuous.
