Disagree on this. That's like saying only shows that trek through the stars should be called Star Trek - and yet the best Star Trek series ever made was Deep Space Nine.

The Stargate is just part of the premise of the followup shows, not a required defining characteristic of them. Even for the original series, by about season 6-7 it was sharing the field with ships and other methods of travel.

As for Universe, it did stumble out of the gate (haha), for sure, but almost every show does. I think it had found its footing by the middle of the second season and season 3 was set up for some great potential. It absolutely deserved a third season.

So then what is the point of Yoda being immensely old? Is he basically 63 in Yoda years?

It did. The authoritative upstream repository for the Linux kernel is hosted at kernel.org, not GitHub.

The "victory" is literally "pwning the libs." The thought process is, "Anything that denies them something that they want makes them weaker and us stronger." The base rallies and cheers, and meanwhile Trump and his cronies go back to extracting ungodly amounts of wealth from the entire world's resources.

Kinda unlikely. If you leave anything sitting under the ocean, it's going to experience significant wear and tear. If there's no budget even to monitor the status of the monitors, let alone conduct routine maintenance, they're likely to be as good as junk by the time they're switched back on.

Not to mention that the data is also used in industry, particularly in farming and fishing, where it is used to predict climate-related events. And this aren't just long-term events we're talking about. "Where are the fish likely to be this year" is a question this data can help answer.

What? I have one. It's hooked up (through an adapter) to the VoIP port on my fiber router. It rings and everything.

What kills me is how Repubs constantly use "BUT CHINA!!1!" as their go-to boogeyman for everything from technology and AI to the economy and trade, and yet they conveniently ignore their massive buildup of renewables and nuclear. One of the few instances where the divergence between the US and China actually matters and they pretend it doesn't exist.

Imagine if the party in power actually cared about the energy future of the US. We could be setting ourselves up for the next 50 years of growth by electrifying everything and upgrading the national grid to support it. Instead we're DIRLL BBY DIRLLing, building new pipelines, and putting up as many methane power plants as possible. Stupid old fucks.

The real friends are the terrorists we made along the way.

Hey, I saw this movie!

Didn't end well for the guy with the plutonium.

Yeah? So how come he never speaks and has the language comprehension of a 3-year-old?

How did you "just get" something that has yet to be released?

Hmmm ... interesting.

Minimal justice, if we want to split hairs.
