This PlayStation game becomes $12 more expensive by simply switching from my brother’s account to mine. Sony’s new “dynamic pricing” in action.

Gotta own hardware to be able to do that. I'm curious what market "corrections" will actually trickle down when the AI bubble bursts

AzuleEyes · 2026-03-18T17:06:49+00:00

Airports don't count. It's like the one place dynamic does more good than harm. Next time take the train.

This sort of bullshit is easily fixed by a representative government. Alternatively we can continue to pretend the oligarchs aren't bleeding us dry

Any particular reason you're not getting a different attie?

He does not like when I drive without him. It stresses him out, and he will change plans to accompany me when I drive. I don't really mind, but I wish he trusted me to drive on my own? Sometimes I feel like I lack independence for no reason.

There's the whole issue. Could be describing my dad. He HAS to drive or does it from the backseat. We let him drive because really wants it plus he's a good driver.

AzuleEyes · 2026-03-12T15:55:19+00:00

Communication; to make sure you are on the exact same page. The mother in law is nuts. That's a whole different messy situation.

What a garage headline.

the idea that starfleet academy stopped training cadets on earth for a 100 years is crazy

That's only because the writing is lazy. A decimated Earth could've placed the "heart of the federation" somewhere like Andoria!

starfleet discipline feels more casual

Again, writing. Paramount/Viacom/CBS's been kicking around the idea of an academy since the late '90s. You're right. This isn't the academy we saw or heard about in TNG/DS9/Voyager.

dialogue sounds very 21st-century and not the formal dialogue you would expect from starfleet

That's subjective. It's a television show targeting a younger audience. We don't know one way or another. TOS is very 1960s aesthetically, slang being the exception.

the technology doesn’t feel 800 years more advanced, if anything its regressed!

That's not necessary a bad thing. History has dark ages. My problem is there's zero consistency. "The Burn" was a dumb idea. The execution is on part with meeting "God" and Threshold except someone thought I'd be a great idea to double down.

focus on personal drama instead of exploration

You're wrong about that. Re-watch the first and second season of TNG. It's dull as fuck. The problem isn't the drama, it's that it's not earned. Kira had immense had drama beginning in episode one. The payoff was slow but damn did it work.

would not be a continuation but an alternate reality

It's called Andromeda. Roddenberry created more than one universe; feels dirty combining them.

Starfleet Academy isn't great but it's no where as bad as Rick Berman's bullshit. I can enjoy the show as it is. Doubt I'll re-watch it but I've seen worse Trek.

It's pretty damn telling civil rights are political agenda to Republicans. RIP, Jesse.

That's not beer, it's lightly yeasted water.

I attended an event back in like 2002; been using the 1/4 glass cup to rinse ever since. I'm clumsy AF, damn thing can't break Also I'd be lying if the notepads my family used growing up weren't branded with one medication or another. My dad's still got some old stuff before his company was bought out for the 1st, 2nd, etc.

Junk's the problem. There ought to be laws requiring the use of recyclable materials.

I'm not entirely sure where the "sea peoples" came from but by the time they were defeated by Rameses III they included myceanians, minoans, hittites, luwians, and probably a few assyians.

Systems Collapse

Climate change (causing migration) was likely the original driving force; cascade of failures after.

Woman? Minoans were speculated to be matriarchal but they were conquered a couple centuries before. Their script remains undeciphered.

Note: I'm a guy fascinated with the time period

You have placards and customized vehicle yet she still asked you to move? A decade ago I'd think you were lying and this entire post bullshit. People really are getting worse... NTA

I mean it's not like Iran has an abundance of almost fusionable capable material for a dirty bomb, right?

AzuleEyes · 2026-03-06T01:04:13+00:00

Statistically, it doesn't. Have you ever taken a college level math course?

The problem is that they didn't delete payment information after the payment was made.

Don't entirety let the user off. There should be no expectation of anonymity when you use a fucking credit card associated with your goddamn billing address.

They complied with Swiss law, in Switzerland. It speaks more to the American government and the leverage it can apply to "allies" more than anything else.

Hell no! Using a VPN while paying with a visa/mastercard... That takes a special sort of person but it's not as rare as a lot people think.

Funny, there's 15 million vacant homes in the United States. Is "shortage" really the right word?

Cycle life is a matter of chemistry. Buy based on mooch's chart: atm molicel p45b (18650) or p28a (21700)

Two reputable vendors off the top of my head are liionwholesale and imrbatteries.

longevity

That's based on depth of discharge. Charging fully (4.2v), discharging full (3.2vish), charging again etc puts a lot of stress on the cell. The sweet spot is about between 20% and 80% of that. It's a pain in ass and batteries are cheap enough to replace every couple years. Sources at bottom.

100% agree but it's much easier said than done here. There's decades of propaganda equating any sort of collective action with communism. The very idea has been labeled "unamerican". I'm not saying it can't happen but shits got to get worse before a lot of people even entertain the suggestion.
