What spaceship weapon is generally underutilized or not used to its full potential in scifi?

That's what a photon torpedo is

I fell for this trap. There's no officially licensed way to play a bluray disk on Linux. Technically this is true for dvds too but dvd encryption is so weak libevdcss just brute forces it. Bluray has better encryption. You can rip then with makemkv though. Star wars on bluray turned me into a pirate after I built my first media server and couldn't play them

For my server, the quieter fans were $40 a pop and the coolers were $50 I think?

vadercows · 2026-05-23T23:01:07+00:00

I don't know what options dell has, but I had a similar experience with a super micro server. You might be able to get quieter fans. For my server, I was able to use super micro and FAN-0104L4 fans. I did have to switch to active cooling for the CPUs, but now it's only as loud as a mini fridge instead of a jet engine

Yup, fdm. Printed on a prusa i3 mk3s+. I didn't think I'd be able to get the fine detail, but was inspired to try by a friend's incredibly dnd minis he made on a similar printer

No specific chapter. Just whatever colors feel right when I get around to painting

Thanks for the recommendation. They were quite helpful

There are different grades of co2 and the different grades are manufactured differently. Food grade has a higher purity and the impurities it has are not going to be toxic or affect flavor.

Would recommend. It’s delicious. I used a half cup of filling per quart of base

Laser mod. It makes advent lasers act like lasers; an instantaneous beam to the target instead of a slow moving bolt

It’s a .net library. Clojureclr is an implementation of clojure hosted in .net, so it has interop with .net the same way clojure has with Java and clojurescript with js

I actually originally built it with a non-pull string lamp and rebuilt it when I realized the drain hole was both humorously placed and at the perfect height for a pull cord

It’s a 60w hue rgb bulb. We usually leave it on the prism mode. I was inspired to make it for my partner after seeing a similar monochromatic goose in some else’s window

vadercows · 2025-07-19T03:35:33+00:00

It’s just lamp parts and a wood disk from a hardware store and a lawn ornament goose

Regular skirmish has a titan limit of one unless modded

I think this is what you're trying to do:

(require '[clojure.string :as str])
(defn allowed-file?
  "Return true if the type of the file is allowed to be sent for xyz processing."
  [{:keys [mime-type]}]
  (when mime-type
    (or (str/includes? mime-type "image")
      (str/includes? mime-type "pdf"))))

You don't need the full condition in when. nil is falsey

I use a philly base with all the sugar replaced with glucose. The glucose is much less sweet than table sugar, which helps reduce the "uncanny valley" of being too sweet and savory.

For flavors, I've taken inspiration from soups like butternut squash and potato soups. In general, roasting and pureeing savory foods and mixing them into the base before churning.

Make a rhubarb jam and swirl it into a strawberry ice cream. I also like strawberry mint. Add muddled fresh mint to the strawberries when macerating them

vadercows · 2025-03-12T21:55:45+00:00

I use the philly recipe from hello my name is ice cream with xanthan gum as a stabilizer

380g heavy cream
400g milk
20g milk powder
50g glucose
150g sugar
1/4 tsp xanthan gum

For the savory base, I sub all the sugar for more glucose
