I bet the LGBTQ+ movement has done wonders for recruiting.

“Ve have footage of you haffink gay sex.”

“Yes, I’m gay. That’s my husband. The kids were finally gone for an hour so we had some fun.”

“Blyat.”

My neuropathy prevents me from forgetting things like that

If it helps I think it’s the one where he gets into a fight with his brother

What happens if I say M-1?

It’s a fake out. The boat sees it flying away and stands down then BOOM.

(Also, since it’s a flying boat I don’t know how they’d have an internal bay without a lot of water infiltration.)

Considering it’s a SeaMaster they might be anti-ship missiles

Nation-states were a stupid idea to begin with

I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.

Forrest like Gump or Forrest like Nathan Bedford?

If Lemmy ever becomes as popular as Reddit, the same thing will happen.

The Eternal September claims every social network eventually

Remind me of the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust

Nobody is going to re-certify a plant built on 1960s technology

Yeah, that’s why they’re re-starting one built on 1970s technology

I wouldn’t build a new power plant, but reactivating existing ones makes sense and is cheaper per GW than solar and reactivation has insignificant emissions.

I don’t think nuclear power was killed by NIMBYs, at least not entirely. In the 1970s and 80s the financial world started taking a much more short-term view. Nuclear power plants have such a huge up-front cost that you aren’t going to see returns for decades. When the market wants numbers to go up every quarter they’re not going to finance something that won’t make a profit for 20 years.

Yeah, but that’s not the decadence they’re talking about. They mean things like “feeling like yourself” and “having good sex.”

Imagine thinking decadence is a bad thing

I’ve worked for a couple startups and you’re absolutely right. If you make a profit you pay taxes on that money, so startups like to spend most of the money they bring in. They also want to show revenue growth, since that’s what investors like to see. You grow revenue by getting more paying customers. And you do that by doing what your customers want.

When you go public, your goal is to increase shareholder value. So you do this by reducing costs and finding ways to wring customers out of revenue. You find ways to nickle and dime customers out of revenue so much you develop an entire branch of law devoted to you suing your customers

The US ice cream ships could be a whole hour just by themselves

The IRA could teach them a thing or two about insurgency.

Also if I made something with “federation” I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Trek nerds showed up
