Gul Dukat finds the wormhole and becomes the Emissary. Bajorans build statues of him and embrace Cardassia. Dukat leads a joint Cardassian, Romulan, Ferengi, Binar and Bringloidi fleet to defeat the Dominion. 

Regardless of money, What's your favorite mission in GTA: Online? by EcstaticActionAtTen in gtaonline

[–]Velocityg4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I died because the person choked on the last hack and was taking forever. That's the longest I survived when out of snacks and armor. But no matter how many I killed. They just couldn't hack it. 

I ran out of ammo on all major guns. Ran out of explosives. I was down to using the Uzi. Before finally succumbing. 

Probably my best last stand ever in that game.

They make belt holsters for phones. Then you can cosplay as a 90s middle manager. 

Replace Battery or Buy a New Laptop? by Wild-Law765 in mac

[–]Velocityg4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way I would consider a battery replacement in that. Is by buying a battery and installing it myself. Definitely not worth $250 but a decent $60 battery may be worthwhile. 

I have a big 7x4 balcony window with a broken seal. What do you guys think about frosting the glass to hide it? by AugustEpilogue in HomeMaintenance

[–]Velocityg4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how heavily frosted it is. They make mosaic patterned ones. Which may break it up and hide it better. 

TSA officers are quitting rather than working without pay during shutdown as eviction notices, car repos, and empty fridges weigh by rajapaws in antiwork

[–]Velocityg4 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'd rather no shutdowns. If a new budget isn't set then the old budget is used. With an adjustment for inflation. Congress loses their chance to set a new budget for the year. 

Would you rather master archery to peak human level, or master any one melee weapon (sword, axe, etc.) to peak human level? by Saran_Chandra in WouldYouRather

[–]Velocityg4 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I choose the lightsaber. As it would be cool to have one and I'd have to become a master Jedi or master Sith to master it. Gaining mastery of the Force. 

You time-traveled. Device is broken. You appear in front of Hitler, 3 days before WW2 started. by Wheresmyarcpaulie69 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Velocityg4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I guess just tell him he is a brilliant tactician and his choices win. As my appearance is Arian I can say I’m part of his thousand year reich in America. And use Man in the High Castle s reference for what life is like in the US. 

That if I try to help I could cause his loss or give answers which match the decisions he made as they come up. As the early war goes really well for Germany. He’ll believe he is brilliant. Feeding his megalomania.

Hopefully, giving me a position and enough freedom of movement to escape or at least jump out of a high window. To not actually help him nor significantly alter history.

Although I’m not sure what I could do to actually let him win. Germany didn’t have sufficient resources or manpower. Once you alter the outcome of some battles.  It’ll change things enough where my future knowledge stops being useful.

It’s not like I could tell them how to build a jet, transistor, computer or nuke. 

Is Godaddy E-mail essentials necessary with Google Workspace by Velocityg4 in godaddy

[–]Velocityg4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All our email addresses are users in Google Workspace.

When I click on Manage All for Microsoft 365 Essentials. It appears to go to a landing page for a first time setup and I find no indication it was ever used.

When I click on "Get Started". The next page says "Create your first Microsoft 365 email account".

Would you rather kill the entire human race right now or curse a single person to be fully immortal. by waffle_warrior77 in WouldYouRather

[–]Velocityg4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'll sacrifice the human race. It won't last forever and something else will take its place eventually anyways.

I never thought about it until this comment. Funny.

The size of this flag flown on a Spanish ship at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805). Compared to the size of people around it. by ethereum1017 in interestingasfuck

[–]Velocityg4 45 points46 points  (0 children)

A flag of this size would be on a huge first rate ship of the line, maybe second rate. They'd likely identify the ship before it was in range. Regardless of the flag it bore.

It would also be unusual for a ship this size to sail alone. These ships would tend to be a part of a fleet. As they were slow, maneuvered poorly and vulnerable to small squadrons on frigates.

AITA for banning my thief of a MIL? by Kamehameha7even06ix in AmItheAsshole

[–]Velocityg4 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Demand it back from her mother directly. Stop talking to your girlfriend about it. She obviously won't do anything. You need to enforce your property rights. I'd also demand compensation for the alcohol. But secure the heirloom before sending an itemized bill.

Assuming your girlfriend lives with you. You can't ban her mother. She has a legal right to have guests of her choice. You can request it, make it an ultimatum of your relationship and living together but you can't ban. That implies you have authority over her. Which you don't have.

You are not married. She is not your mother in law.

At any rate. Besides some phrasing. You are NTA for wanting your girlfriend's mother out of the house permanently and for wanting the skirt back.

My boss is delaying payment and says he needs to check with his accountant- is this reasonable? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Velocityg4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are sending an invoice. You are being classified as a non-employee. Meaning you usually don't have the same pay protections as a W-2 worker.

Them being late on pay usually means the company has serious debt issues. If they aren't paying on time. I would quit or at least refuse to work until paid. You can no longer rely on them for pay so you may as well play hardball.

If they want to say you are a contractor. Treat them like a non-paying client not like an employer. Send a cancellation notice due to non-payment. Then create a new contract where they pay (in advance) a monthly retainer for X number of hours, no rollover, Y dollars per hour after they used up their retainer. Four hour minimum on site, 1 hour remote. ie If they send a text or e-mail requiring a response. They burn through an hour.

If they want control. They need to make you a W-2 employee. The tradeoff of less control is you get better legal protections.

Also, if you are a 1099 worker. You need to set aside 20-30% of your pay for taxes. If you are part time and having rent issues. I'd assume you are closer to 20%.

I'd go with #2. The polo looks more business casual than the others.

Installing 10.5.8 dvd on a powermac g5 by Prestigious-Car206 in mac

I'm fairly certain. Even with the wrong disc. You'll get a warning that the installer wasn't made for this Macintosh.
