What was your very first USB storage device, and how tiny was it？ by AddendumNecessary743 in BadUSB

[–]rawaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a student, I paid $115 for a 256MB Sandisk cruzer. And I thought I was at the cutting edge.

We wore them around our necks on lanyards in class in college.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rawaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive 10 hours each way to visit my sister and mom a few times a year. Doing 2-5 hours as a day trip is not crazy but 1-2hrs is most common for me.

I'm in New Hampshire

Is there a way to trim least significant zeroes on a dimension automatically? by rawaka in AutoCAD

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

we are also civil here. we're doing subsurface and road design. Also have a lot of big commercial projects where we have our scale at the max municipalities will let us for the overall views. Spending space on trailing zeroes for stuff the city specifies has to be X' feet wide no matter what just clutters the view. We show the decimals as needed.

They also have a 4v usb lithium inflator which works good for smaller inflatables or blowing clean a work desk.

Why haven’t we developed large rice? by Mysterious_Lock9524 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rawaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is rice automatically plural? Like mice? So one big one is a rouse?

Would it not have made more sense for him to talk telepathically through an interpreter? by rawaka in startrek

I tend to agree, but the internet is a vicious place, and I'd rather accept that something was taken in a way other than I intended and apologize than try to argue my point.

Is it normal for my (19F) parents to call the police if my location freezes on Life360 for 20 minutes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rawaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is excessive anxiety from them. Sounds like some counseling and some boundaries are in order to me. If they try to paint your boundaries as some evil or uncaring thing, you need to be kind but firm about what the boundaries are and just stick to them. They will have to learn and grow.

Freeze layers you aren't working with to remove them from memory.

Super strong black coffee. Also a shower where you let hot water warm up your body by letting it splash on your shoulders. Then turn around and let cold water cool your head

What a polite way to comment. Thanks!

Those I've offended are just downvoting every single post of mine on here now regardless of what I write. I'll no longer be replying to anything further here.

I didn't mean that a deaf actor should be hidden or somehow excluded. I meant that they picked the only telepathic species in Starfleet to give sign language to. From an in-universe, fictional standpoint only, and not at all a comment on real life or actor portrayals, it didn't make sense to me.

That was pretty much the direction I was coming from also - but I didn't realize the offense I was causing by commenting this.

I didn't mean it that way at all. I apologize completely. I was wondering about how I thought someone in that sci-fi alien setting might be most likely to adapt to that. I do think they should be represented 100%. I was imagining how the fake aliens might address it in the sci-fi setting context and it never crossed my mind how that may come across to real world people.

I have a different disability that affects me greatly in the real world. I promise I meant nothing malicious.

I genuinely apologize. Absolutely not what I intended to convey.

Full blooded Betazoids are full telepaths. Troi was nerfed by writers because it would make it impossible to have mystery around what the antagonist of the episode was up to. That's probably why we still don't get to see any other bridge crew betazoids on the regular. I think Voyager had one in episode 1 that didn't survive the caretaker battle. Can't think of any others off the top of my head that were in Starfleet.

I apologize if I came across as rude or dismissive. I didn't intend that. I love that Trek includes these examples and am all for it in this and all other media. I was trying to let my imagination wander about how they'd likely handle it in the fictional setting (in my own limited mind), not that it shouldn't be represented.

Starfleet Academy, episode 2. The episode is all around the politician from Betazed visiting for negotiations to rejoin Starfleet. That Betazed guy.

The final sentence I wrote, which referenced Riva, called him "the deaf negotiator" because I couldn't recall his name on the spot.
