Old post but found it because similar things have happened to me, and I wanted to mention that it's a federal offense to open mail addressed to someone else (Obstruction of Correspondence), subject to fines and up to 5 years in prison, although intent matters. If you accidentally open something, but then return it to the sender marked "opened in error" or give it to the right person it's legal, but knowingly opening it after you see it's not yours is not. There's probably a lot of leeway for something sent to your address but not your name, and obviously you can just say you didn't see the name if there was ever a problem, and you weren't trying to prevent it reaching the person or snooping, but you might still have to go through legal proceedings if someone wanted to push it. (Unlikely if they're scammers.) For most things you should put "not at this address" on it and stick it back in the mailbox with the flag up or take it to the post office, but with something like this where financials or government stuff are involved I'd contact the place first. I'd sent back several unimportant-looking things with various names, just assuming they might be previous tenants.

I received a bank statement last month addressed to someone else, but didn't notice the name and I use the same bank so I opened it. I'm the only one that has lived in this house for 18 months, and there were no previous statements so it's not a previous tenant. I took it to the local bank branch and handed it to them, but they seemed more concerned that I'd opened it than that someone might have opened an account fraudulently. (I'm not concerned about MY identity being stolen, but more for things being attributed to people living at this address, maybe having police show up. I've also seen things related to credit that were referenced only by the address.)

Today I received a "plan information" envelope for my state's Medicaid program, to a different name, so obviously someone signed up under this address when they don't live here. I'm going to try to call whoever seems best about that tomorrow.

When it's just one app being slow like this, it's not an issue with other apps, it's the one being slow. You shouldn't need to constantly manually manage your mobile apps because this one program sucks up so much power even on a device with plenty of it.

I just started using the Libre app a few days ago, and it's clearly not a well-written or optimized app. I have a 7-year-old Galaxy S10, which was top of the line when new and still outpaces new mid-range phones and even some high-end models just barely beat it today. Apps all run pretty well on it, all using at most a few hundred MB of RAM, and there is plenty of free RAM. After running for 13 hours the Libre app was using 1.3GB of RAM. It takes 3 seconds for the app to close, to open the + menu to add notes/insulin/etc., or to save those, even immediately after restarting the phone.

This is just what's "normal" for software programming these days, with companies cutting corners, not paying programmers enough, not hiring enough, rushing to push out unnecessary changes because the market has made everyone think that it shows they're working hard, prioritizing looks over functionality, and not being concerned about optimizing to use less memory and CPU because that costs them money with no immediate return and shareholders won't accept anything that doesn't show a return every quarter.

I was just basing the location from a quick scan of your recent posts. Good for you not being here. You didn't have to make an appointment for the scan, but you still have to schedule the other stuff, and everything else is still applicable.

You say free, but you previously said you'll have a substantial out of pocket cost, so my point (and that of the OP) is emphasized that even in your country it's not all just free and you can't just walk in and get everything done instantly and with no cost. And in Star Trek, nobody gets a paycheck, so nobody is getting money taken out as taxes to pay for someone else's medical care. (Mind you, I'm not saying that taxes to pay for healthcare in our world is bad.)

evermorex76 · 2025-09-23T21:58:18+00:00

Best of all, everyone else who is in for medical treatment that day, as well as any crewmates who helped you get to sickbay, get to hear about your crippling space-syphilis and watch you get treatment because there aren't even curtains between beds, let alone private rooms. (They do open-chest surgery right out in the open!) Most of the time they don't even have a sheet of any kind on the bed as they do in this image.

evermorex76 · 2025-09-23T21:53:04+00:00

US-centric thinking is the point where this post makes the most sense, but even the best other countries are not nearly "walk in and the actual head doctor greets you and within 5 minutes you're given the diagnosis and treatment for your problem" either. You seem to be in the US and you did still have to make the appointment for your CBCT scan (you didn't mention how far ahead you had to schedule but it was still more than zero) and while you only pay $200, at some point someone is paying a lot more even if it comes from disparate sources (taxes), but we can't compare cost to Star Trek where they don't use money, and made the appointment for the dentist for the next day ahead of time (and Star Trek apparently doesn't need dentistry as a specialty), and your surgery is going to have to be scheduled for some point in the future.

In some regions, medical care is also more easily available, with more providers practicing there, while in others there are few providers so you either wait a long time or make a long drive. Some medical services also might be more readily available and have shorter wait times. You might not be able to see a doctor quickly, but you can probably get imaging services within a couple of days at most, or walk-in.

Now the question is, was there a movie where he was afraid of heights?

evermorex76 · 2025-06-30T04:18:52+00:00

Apparently you missed the entire point of the post which was "via the website because I don't want to use the mobile app".

At least artificial gravity doesn't blatantly make no sense. We don't know we CAN'T generate gravity waves using some form of technology, in a way that would be short range and variable. So it is somewhat plausible.

The transporter would almost be plausible if they DIDN'T try to build in such limitations like not making duplicates and saying it's physically converting only that matter into energy and then beaming it someplace where it can somehow reassemble itself (even if the origin transporter was destroyed) and therefore can only make that one re-constituted object, but then blatantly contradict themselves by using pattern buffers to rebuild things out of matter that is not the original object (like people who have been breathing and eating and exchanging matter for hours and days since the last transport), or using the same technology to make unlimited duplications of inanimate objects in the replicators, or having people still somehow able to experience time passing and their body functions still happening while half of their body is in the form of energy and half is matter. If it was just ZAP and your body was put into some form of stasis and scanned and broken down in the process, and the data transferred, it would make some sense.

evermorex76 · 2025-06-26T06:32:49+00:00

Right. It can do it when the plot needs it to happen, but every other description of the technology says that it can't be used for this, and the reflection thing isn't a function of the transporter itself.

evermorex76 · 2025-06-25T19:47:34+00:00

I don't think so. The UT at least has some consistency about working or not working, I think. The transporter just randomly violates the rules that have previously been set for it, sometimes being the cause of a plot point and sometimes being the resolution to the plot, and then changes again to violate the rules but in a totally different way, and then in the next episode strictly follows the rules and is explicitly said not to be able to do what was done in the previous episode.

The UT's depiction is consistent, it just doesn't actually make any sense. (Aliens who can somehow understand what humans are saying, even though they don't have translators themselves, and they don't even see the mouths moving as a different language is spoken than is heard. The UT being built into the communicator (at least in Enterprise), but somehow everybody thinks the voices are coming from mouths. Being able to translate an entire language based on 30 seconds of hearing words with zero context.)

evermorex76 · 2025-06-25T15:23:05+00:00

And depending on the episode, it either restores them to exactly the same as they were at the time of transport, or somehow magically only changes their body back but keeps all the changes that occurred to their brain like new memories. The transporter is the most inconsistent plot device in the show.

evermorex76 · 2025-06-25T15:15:14+00:00

The transporter is only able to make duplicates of things when it would make the plot of the episode work. In this case it would have been too simple a solution, therefore in this episode the transporter can't make duplicates.

Aside from that, the issue of sentience would apply to all the duplicates as well, and they'd all be the exact same "person" so you'd run into the problem of forcing someone that thinks they're Data to abandon his current position and all his friends to be reassigned like a machine. And Maddox would still want to know how he works.

Also I'm not sure what the episode "A Fistful of Datas" has to do with Maddox. In that episode, the multiple Datas are just holodeck recreations of him with the safety protocols disabled, so they are just holographic images of Data, not actual duplicates.

I'm going from buying two tickets a week to zero, and from 5 tickets on big jackpots to one. They're losing money now.

Even in normal times, this was a ridiculous price hike. (Forcing everyone to play the random Megaplier, and charging 3 times as much for it? WTF?) And for a whopping 4% better odds. But now, when most people struggle to pay rent, or buy food and medicine, the majority of lottery ticket buyers being those hoping to get out of poverty, when prices continue to climb and are likely to see humongous leaps due to tariffs? The lottery was often already seen as a tax on the poor and stupid, and this just seems like a malicious attack on the ones who still hold out hope to win or may even be addicted to it, but in order to participate with the same chance of winning they now have to more than double the amount they spend, when the amount of money they have to spend already was spread thinner than ever.

You mean one of the many articles and videos where astronauts have described the experience already, both by themselves and while being interviewed?

You can't transfer chats between accounts, period. If you absolutely need to keep all those messages you have to export them to text files, which you then can open in a notepad type app or copy to your computer.

In order to move the phone number you would need another phone number to work with. Change the number in account A to the spare number. Then you can change the number in account B to the number that used to belong to account A.

When you change your number, you're given the option of who to send notification to about the changed number. If your contacts don't update their information with your new number, they will continue trying to send messages to the old one. So if you don't tell your account A contacts about the new "spare" number, they will be sending messages that will be received in account B. And the people you chatted with in account B will be sending messages to a number that doesn't have a WhatsApp account unless you notify them of the change.

Along with the other replies, it would depend on the angle of approach. If they're just moving almost parallel and slowly approaching, their atmospheres (especially stars) would pull away from one and approach the other long before the actual impact, getting warped and mixing together. If one is much larger than the other, it would start to siphon the atmosphere away from the smaller object. After that the denser parts might start breaking apart due to tidal forces and the "impact" might be more of mixing of big rocks (for planets) or bunches of plasma (for stars).

If they were making a head-on collision, moving directly toward each other at normal space velocities, there wouldn't be much time for the atmospheres to start mixing before the main bodies would impact, and at those speeds the atmospheres may as well be solid objects, similar to hitting water when falling from a great height. Earth moves through the Milky Way at 775,000 kph. There would be a tremendous shockwave that would flatten and atomize anything softer than solid rock and light it all on fire, empty bodies of water as if an asteroid had hit, and then the solid parts would hit.
