  In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don’t have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu

  looking at the junction points on that diagram only one side of the axle would change track if the switch was pulled resulting in a derailment so you could ignore the possibility of hitting the people in the middle thereby reducing this example to two parallel but unconnected trolley problems

  i choose to kill whoever calls them trolleys and not trams

  That 2012 one looks like I’ve focused it as a UI component. I need to get out and touch some grass.

  I misread that as prefix and, honestly, forthwhence doesn’t sound half bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's finally up! Please sign it if you're in the UK :) Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.

  A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.

  The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn’t asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.

  Knife Rain? Wasn’t expecting an adventure time reference on star trek, but I’ll take it!

  There’s a lot of references linking back to nova squadron here, but I’ve got no idea how it all fits together. Looking forward to the finale.

  This is a good change. I think we could be in a much better place if companies that owned both production and streaming were more open about licensing.

  Tendi just wanting to play in the sand is cute.

  Boimler being completely fed up with the assignment is great - he knew exactly what he was walking into, but did it anyway (I’m glad it actually had payoff at the end).

  Rutherford has finally resolved badgey, and seemingly learnt nothing.

  I didn’t feel like mariner had a whole lot to do in this episode, she just kind of tagged along.

  I really liked the facial expression animations in this episode. Its difficult to pull them off in 2D animation, but it really helped in this episode.
