The “stormy shits” in parts of Atlantic Canada.

I had a car broken into, but there wasn’t anything worth taking, so they slashed a tire on their way out. Luckily they left enough clear fingerprints that they were actually ID’d and had to pay for my slashed tire. They had broken into several cars in the area and I guess their fingerprints on my window was their undoing.

Frankly it was more insulting that they didn’t think any of my stuff was worth taking. :/

Literally marketing nonsense. The Genesis on paper was less powerful than the SNES in pretty much every aspect except for the CPU clock speed, where the SNES had a 2.68 MHz processor versus the Genesis’ 7.67 MHz, so the Genesis had a superior clock speed but clock speed wasn’t something you could directly compare as they were entirely different processors. Marketing took this speed difference as an advantage though and rolled with it.

Technically I guess the T1000 can be anyone… but yeah it’s really Robert Patrick.

Defence lawyer Sean O’Brien told the Star that she will still need help because she has spent most of her life in prison and was ineligible for social security.

So she was locked up for a crime she didn’t commit and was straight up framed by cops to protect one of their own, was prevented from working for her entire life, and now she’s of retirement age and can’t even get social security or a pension or nothing. Simply atrocious. I hope the inevitable lawsuit is worth millions.

macOS has something to this effect where if it detects too many kernel panics in a row on boot it will disable all kernel extensions on the next reboot and it pops up a message explaining this. I’ve had this happen to me when my GPU was slowly dying. It eventually did bite the dust on me, but it did let me get into the system a few times to get what I needed before it was kaput.

Let’s not forget:

  • The Kiss
  • white/black Riddler duking it out with black/white guy in an allegory to race relations
  • Abraham Lincoln calling Uhura a “a charming negress” followed by a brief discussion about the future’s take on linguistics and equality
  • the pilot episode had a woman named Number One who was so named because she was number one at everything she did. She excelled at all the things on the ship. A woman being better than men? Impossible. That’s woke.
  • the Enterprise and a bunch of klingons once showed up to a planet so woke they ended war and used space magic to make the humans and klingons also do no wars in their vicinity.
  • in another episode the Enterprise went to a planet that still had war but they calculated the results of battles using a video game console and then sent casualties to their death in a disintegration chamber and the Kirk blew up the video game console to force them to either negotiate or go back to actual war as a lesson in ignoring the Prime Directive directly.
  • there was a Nazi planet and the Nazis were the bad guys.
  • there was also a Yankee planet where they somehow independently wrote the Declaration of Independence in broken pidgin English and used it to defeat the Space Soviets.
  • the episode where Kirk and a woman exchange bodies was… not handled well and is not a good example.
  • the klingons were soviets, btw.
  • basically every episode of the original series had something “woke”, okay? It was literally the whole point of the series.
