I think the top arrow is actually pointing to the Steam Controller.
- Comment on Joe Morton On Star Trek, A Life In Science Fiction, And His Pivotal ‘Terminator’ Role 2 weeks ago:
I rember him from Eureka, a show from the era when the SciFi Channel made good sci-fi shows.
- Comment on 'The Pitt' Stars Read 'Star Trek' Pilot For Writers Guild Foundation 4 weeks ago:
When I heard they were doing the pilot, I kind of expected “The Cage.” I suppose that may be a bit too much inside baseball for non Trekkies.
- Comment on When you're not a resort hotel but are in a city... 5 weeks ago:
Charge you $30 for $27 in credits that are hard to use along with amenities like WiFi that are free at other hotels. Basically a way to tack an extra $30 onto the room fee that doesn’t show up when comparing rates online.
- Comment on I have no idea what range eggs are but they were free so I walked out of the store with them. 1 month ago:
There’s free as in beer, free as in speech, and free as in Tibet.

I do not give one on a plane, I do not give one on a train! I do not give one here nor there, I do not give one anywhere!

If you need actual numerators and denominators, there are libraries for that.
- Comment on Guess the game (#008) 2 months ago:
I got this game on a 3-in-1 CD, bundled with Sim Isle and the OG Sim City. I already had Sim City, but it was a much older floppy release that, I think, was only in black and white. The Sim City on the CD was in color and came with some extra scenarios and tile sets.
- Comment on Is using an ssd as a cache to speed up a harddrive still a thing? 2 months ago:
10-15 years ago, Apple had a product built around this concept, the Fusion Drive. It was one physical device containing both types of storage that appeared to the user as a single drive. The OS would decide what files when on which storage medium based on usage. Unfortunately, it’s been long enough that they went to all SSDs all of the time that Apple is removing support for it in this year’s OS release.
- Comment on Examples of roles where actors from Star Trek give better performances than they did on Star Trek? 2 months ago:
Andreas Katsulas had a recurring role as Commander Tomalak on TNG, but he absolutely shone as G’Kar on Babylon 5, especially in later seasons.
- Comment on Mayonnaise included 3 months ago:
With Chinese currency, the smallest coin is ¥0.1, one jiǎo. 0.1 CNY = 0.013 EUR. They may not be familiar with the convention of always writing the hundredths place, even if it’s zero, used with euros or dollars, especially if they’re using Google Translate for the menu.

That’s an Iranian Water Pipe.
- Comment on PC Games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 3 months ago:
I kind of cringe at suggesting this, but Genshin Impact is if Breath of the Wild used a gatcha payment model instead of $60 up front.
- Comment on Why do unannounced games keep “leaking” through Korea’s rating site? It turns out there’s a legal issue that makes it almost impossible to avoid 3 months ago:
If you think you’re on the borderline between the local equivalents of M and T, and are willing to revise your content to get a more marketable rating, maybe you submit early? I know that’s a thing for movies in the US, as PG-13 movies can attract a broader audience than R. If the ratings board isn’t looking at the final product, though, can they rate it correctly?

Nah, that’s now a cooling pond for a data center.

AI doesn’t see a word as a sequence of letters, they just see it as a pointer to an entry in Words table.
- Comment on 🫡🫡🫡 4 months ago:
They both have a habit of misgendering people. At least the Sontarans do it because they’re a single-gender spices, rather than spite.

- Comment on Land where 5 months ago:
Russian capsules launch from the Kazack steppe. In the event of a launch abort, like there was in October 2018, you need to have a capsule that can land on land.
American capsules launch from Florida and fly over the ocean. In the event of an abort, they need to be able to land at sea.
They both took their abort modes and just made it the standard way to land after a mission.
- Comment on 9 miles over the speed limit 5 months ago:
In Vermont, at least, there’s a second clue: Standard license plates are green with white print. State cops have dark green plates with yellow writing; town owned vehicles, including police cars, have red & white plates.

“The Internet wants us to start a podcast so they can listen to us heckle people.”
“That’s because at our age, no one wants to WATCH us do anything.”
