Because no matter how prepared I think I am, there’s always at least one item on the ballot I didn’t expect to see.

I can sit down at my computer and look up everything on my ballot and make better informed decisions in the comfort of my home. I can lean over and ask my spouses opinion on what they’re voting for and we can decide what we want to do. In the end we each make our own decision, but at least we can discuss it.

I have a QR code on my envelope that shows that I can track my ballot from end to end and ensure that it’s where it is supposed to be. If it never arrives, I can go vote in person and have a provisional ballot to ensure I didn’t vote twice.

There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with

“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”

That’s half the plot of Armageddon (1998)

Interesting take. I really enjoy when artists can reflect on their work decades later.

it’s much harder to prove because the official acts part also includes all the evidence and testimony needed to prosecute.

So if you can’t use evidence from official communication to prove that the treason happened. That makes the prosecution of presidents very difficult. It’s going to be extremely difficult for a prosecution to tell a coherent story to a jury without including any “official” acts as part of the crime.

D) Move manufacturing and other dirty processes off planet and live here.

The D&D dungeon gridfinity sets are really cool.

According to a US Army study, Iron and Tungsten could create galvanic action, causing both materials to degrade if in contact.

So at first glance, it seems like this combo wouldn’t last as long as it could with just Tungsten.

Stardew Valley/Concerned Ape has a policy of fixing saves personally.

You misread, I specifically said that Earth doesn’t have enough mass for that.

First - The major problem with trash isn’t the getting rid of it part, it’s the gathering it up part. If we could do that, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Second - Launching things on a rocket is kinda dangerous still, there’s a risk the rocket will blow up on launch, scattering the material across a large area. This is a big reason why things like nuclear waste is a problem to transport in general, much less flying it somewhere.

Third - Launching something into the SUN is really hard, it would be easier to send something out of the solar system than back into the sun.

Fourth - Someday we’ll figure out a use for everything, wall-e style. If we dump everything into a centralized landfill, we’ll eventually be able to collect/sort/recycle it into something useful. Throwing it into the sun (or off-planet) would make that stuff unavailable forever.

Finally - Throwing stuff into the sun would actually get rid of it forever, yes. It would be completely decomposed into the atoms it was made from. If we threw ENOUGH heavy metals into the sun, we could actually poison the sun making it not able to fuse hydrogen anymore, but even if we threw the entire earth into the sun, it wouldn’t be enough.

If you use a web email account, just create a draft email and don’t send it. Then log into your email account on the other device and read it there.

The current generation is now showerthoughting the same thing people used to say about credit cards.

I open the picture on my computer, then screenshot it before uploading.

That removes any association with the original picture without relying on any exif stripping that might miss a hash or weird embedded info.

Depends on the writer, but they handwave a lot of those problems by the fact that replicators need a lot of energy to work (voyager explicitly said they didn’t have the spare power and used hydroponics and trade to supplement), and a lot of critical components couldn’t be replicated (dilithium, and antimatter containment parts. Also the isolinear computer chips were non-replicatible). I think you’d also struggle with any weapons systems, which might include shields.

Essentially you could build the hull and most of the mechanical parts, but not the critical systems.

Just like anything else, one chunk at a time.

You can start with a story and build the game off of that, or you can start with the gameplay and build up from there.

Sometimes you just have to start, and see where it goes. Pick an engine and start building something, don’t be afraid to throw it all out and start over from what you’ve learned so far. Make a game that has some of the elements you want to use and try it out, then throw it out and make a different game with other bits. Start small and work up.

The biggest problem is thinking it has to be perfect to move on to the next part.

You can commission art, or you can buy some models and just use those.

You can also just build everything from the ground up, but it would be hard to do that for your first project.

Warp 10 is infinitely fast, then how come the upgraded Enterprise D can go warp 13!?!?!
