  • An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card

    Jump

  • That means they are only depending on apple for the one thing only apple provides, which is app purchases on the Apple platform. Everything else they have locally or backed up somewhere else. It's literally their point that they're independent despite having used the platform for so long.

  • Which is why you need insurance if you buy That Car on a loan. So there's somebody else who will pay back the loan if you fuck up That Car.

    If That Car is worth a hundred billion dollars, suddenly that very important aspect just seems to vanish and you can just buy That Car with itself without any further securities.

  • The assets of the acquired company are often used as collateral for the financing

    This is so dumb.

    "I want to buy That Car, can you give me money? I have... nothing."

    "But if you have nothing, how can we expect you to ever pay back That Car?"

    "Well, after buying That Car, I will have a net worth of That Car, so paying you back obviously will be trivial using ownership of That Car."

    "Sounds like we have a deal!"

  • In 2 days time on Ask Lemmy:

    There's some creep hiding in bushes in a path which is connected to the gates of my neighbours house where I usually shit at. What do I do??

    Do you think 20 is too young for a guy to get married?

    Jump

  • There was a song written about this... People asked themselves this question for quite some time.

    "C'est la vie" say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell

    Of course you're early. But don't tell me people who married in their 40s haven't been able to mess up their marriage either. It's your mistakes to make. And who knows, it might just work. C'est la vie.

  • Just to add to this: this is where that weird trope of American culture to associate lube with masturbation comes from as you obviously can't masturbate by moving your foreskin back and forth - so you need some kind of lubrication to just rub your penis without it getting sore. It took me literal decades to understand that odd connection from American teenager comedies as I literally had no clue why they kept making jokes about hand cream.

  • Borg, beets, Battlestar Galactica

    Jump

  • I will never get over how the Borg were so amazingly well introduced just to be utterly torn down within a few years. The whole buildup of Q introducing the federation to something so strong it merely serves as a means to make Picard crawl before him (metaphorically, yes), Guinan giving a back story of how they "developed over a thousand centuries" and destroyed their homeworld while still not knowing much about them and the Borg themselves remaining mostly silent while still being so well written was just remarkable.

    And then they introduce the queen and Voyager comes around, making assimilation reversible, introducing drones to have their individuality intact and being their old selves while they sleep and finally having that small exploration vessel just blast through the Borg like they're paper walls before labelling them nearly extinct in Picard and having them saved by a singing doctor.

    It's a damn shame and whoever greenlit each of those steps of running down such an excellently introduced foe should be forced to write long essays on what went wrong when writing each single borg encounter in Trek. They were introduced to be the perfect storm the federation would just have to live with and bend to... Instead they turned out to be a side note that popped up each time the writers wanted something seemingly dangerous to overcome or conquer. I hate it.

  • First Leaked Images of LEGO Icons 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise D | November 2025

    Jump

  • There aren't that many pictures of the bluebrixx enterprise d from below for comparison (and I still think it's odd the Lego model was shown from an angle you practically never see it from, but whatever)...

    From golem.de:

    From YouTube:

    The bb enterprise d came with about 2k pieces for about 200 bucks, so the retail price per piece isn't even that far off. The dimensions are pretty much the same though (bb coming at 55 cm length, so slightly shorter), so I'll guess that Lego just keeps its course of avoiding larger plates and pieces to end up using so many more pieces for a model of roughly the same size. I really prefer how bb avoided sharp corners in the saucer section though.

    /edit

    Okay, my mistake: the bb enterprise is 55 cm wide, so the Lego one seems to actually be larger as, due to the elliptical saucer, the model is supposed to be wider than long:

    Also, here's a better bottom view image I found on amazon, for a better comparison:

    /edit 2:

    Lego enterprise saucer section seems 60 studs wide. BB Enterprise is a bit harder to count from the images, but I'd say it's 52. So, yeah, Lego 1701-D is a bit bigger.

  • Also, just to follow up on this, it's for the largest part not scientists that got us into this mess, whatever in particular that may be. The world would be much better off if people had more trust in science. That's too much to demand though it seems, especially from boomers. So here we are, with populists and companies messing stuff up and people like you blaming scientists for the results.

  • Fictional

    Jump

  • i don't like trusting scientists in fact. trusting scientists is how we got into this mess. people let themselves be manipulated by scientific results. people need to think for themselves. yes, that includes not believing certain scientific results, but IMO it's better to deny a scientific result that I dislike and do not understand than trusting scientists that spent their entire lives researching that particular aspect of the universe

    by the way i'm not a science denialist

    Can't make that shit up.

    Jump

  • Aaaahhhhh, you're one of those... Good to know. Yeah, your reply makes sense then. Also thanks for telling me early in the discussion that you're just a science denialist, then we don't need to waste precious time with a discussion about things that you'll just disregard at will anyway.

  • welllll i say that's a reaaaly sketchy and irrational way to look at things.

    Okay? You be you, I guess. I mean, stupid physicist eggheads, what do they know?
