Sure enough! Thanks, that was fun to watch again.

Isn’t that step two?

I feel like step one was “get a box,” but I could be misremembering.

Much better! I approve!

Let’s try to make this work! Please?

All someone has to do to avoid being called a boomer is

Everyone born between 1945 and 1960 (in the US) is literally unable to do anything to avoid being known as and called a boomer. The word was around for decades before some stupid mean people tried to redefine it based on their ageism, or in other words their ridiculous belief that old people are evil.

When it is used to denigrate a “mindset” that you don’t like, it is most certainly a slur. When used to refer to folks who were born between 1945 and 1960, it is not.

We’ve all agreed (almost all) to stop using the word retarded to refer derogatorily to folks who do not have that medical condition.

Any word can be used as a slur.

Fine. Use a word for it that isn’t a bigoted slur.

I’m with you right up to the ageism. The folks who persecuted Aaron were older than him, but they were not boomers, and what they did had nothing to do with his age or theirs.

Bigotry is always wrong.

Yeah! Let’s go!! Signal to me baby!

Humans didn’t “happen to this planet.” This planet (along with our fantastic if very average star) made us.

I believe there is an ongoing feud among Linux kernel maintainers regarding moving to Rust. I don’t know much about it myself, but perhaps that is why OP thought this belonged here.

I’m mostly with you about the negativity being unwelcome here, but I just have to point out: Richard Stallman is a boomer. Boomers literally created Linux from whole cloth.

Ageism is also negativity. Please try to avoid it.

ubuntu is a linux distro. nothing more, nothing less.

linux or ubuntu?

wtf?

Well, you are what you eat, and so is your poo.

I always forget that Windows Server even exists, because the name is so stupid. “windows” should mean “gui interface to os.”

edit: fixed redundacy.

Ah hahahaha!!!

Windows! Some dumbass put Windows on a supercomputer!

Agreed. But you don’t have to go that far to make rain and snow transparent. And radar might not be a bad idea to have on self driving cars, as long as it’s not the only thing.

LiDAR can be done with different wavelengths. It should be possible to make one that can see through rain and snow.

His disdain for NASA’s caution is obvious.

What a dumbass. If we send people in the quickest possible way (or any way at all, really) and they all die in the attempt, that will set the whole project back decades.

The answer to the radiation problem is better shielding, not a fundamentally unsafe mission.

btw it is not the nuclear propulsion that I’m calling unsafe. It is the idea that we could do without redundancy. That’s just a monumentally stupid idea.
