“I’d like a Coke.”
“Is Pepsi okay?”
“It will have to do.”
Or
“Do you have Dr. Pepper?”

Certainly possible. I haven’t bothered looking into what types of shifts are typical for doctors in hospitals, but $430k is certainly more attractive.
- Comment on I'm not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV. 1 day ago:
I absolutely agree, for me, but is it enough to attract a doctor who probably has $240k in student loans to pay off and can make more elsewhere? To someone in that position it may not be worth responding to.
- Comment on I'm not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV. 1 day ago:
Assuming you get 5 12-hour shifts per month, that’s only $216k per year. Sure, you have a lot of time off, but you can make much more as a doctor, depending on what kind of specialty, of course. Maybe OP can tell us what kind of doctor he isn’t.

It was referenced in every episode, but one episode was about the people who had one.

It’s a greentext from 2013 apparently. It can be found on reddit, and I’ve seen it here, but I doubt I could find it.

To be fair, all names are made up, and not just for places. But yes, Farmington is a little more simplistic than say Louisiana.

As a non-American, I should be unsurprised I’m more familiar with International Morse Code.

Here’s a quote I stumbled across a couple decades ago.
I like paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

One definition of humor is pain plus distance. The pain is possibly moderate, and the distance for me to do that is impossible to bridge. Sounds pretty funny to me.

I think what they mean by “community blocklist” is a blocklist maintained by the community which users can have applied to them. This means, rather than everyone having to deal with blocking the trolls individually, only one user has to and the rest get the benefit of that.

Is that the sound of the warp drive in space? It certainly isn’t the sound effect the explosions in space use.
If it wasn’t for artistic license, they could have gone with what happens when the inertial dampers fail in the spaceships in David Weber’s books, which is a more realistic outcome (assuming realism is what you’re looking for in a setting with warp drives and inertial dampers), but writing off the crews of ships that don’t matter to the storyline in a red paste probably wouldn’t go over well in a family drama. About as well as people sitting around in a pitched battle with the occasional hum or shudder.

I suppose if they’d been in a more relaxed pose they would have flown farther?
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 4 weeks ago:
And where are the seat belts?
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 4 weeks ago:
These ships all had inertia dampers, otherwise the crew would be paste during most maneuvers. Seatbelts would just cause a different kind of mess. And even if they didn’t, are you suggesting Picard’s grip is sufficient to combat those forces? Because he didn’t have a seat belt, either. Maybe it was the force of his presence that you think was going to keep him seated?

The motorbike can be fun, getting big jumps can be awesome, and you can explore caves easier. Other than that, yeah.

And when you say now, it’s been that way since about a year after the game was released.

I guess the question is, is ripping up a golf course more or less antisocial than having a golf course?

That’s a much more interesting comment and link. Hopefully the production batteries do better than the trial run. We will see soon enough.
- Comment on CATL unveils battery with 12-minute charging and 1.5 million mile life 1 month ago:
Wild claims? “’We did this thing in the lab.’ It could be a breakthrough provided they can scale production.” The only thing that would make this a wild claim is if they didn’t actually do what they said or if it didn’t work like they said. They didn’t even claim this could be commercialized.
Also, Professor Zhao works at Western University, in Ontario, Canada. Here’s an article about this same research on their website.

Well, the same applies to social services (welfare) and education, and the rich and powerful already know all this. So why do you think they don’t want us comfortable, educated, healthy, and secure?

Probably closer to 20 pounds if they are awarded the full amount, and the general rule seems to be that the lawyers get about 30%, but the overall sentiment of your statement is correct.
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 1 month ago:
It requires more material and financial resources, but isn’t necessarily harder. Transmitting energy effectively to reduce heat, or managing the excess heat starts running into some pretty tough limits of physics. Most of the issues with spinning habitats are engineering problems within the capabilities of our current technology level and materials science. It’s just super expensive and has terrible ROI for now.

How is it a bad analogy? You seem to be treating it like a scale model, which i don’t think was the intention. Moreover, most of the effects map over fine.

There isn’t a requirement for a Dyson shell to transmit energy. You could just envelope the sun in habitats that use the energy they collect locally and that would meet the criteria of a Dyson shell (and a K2 civilization).
