Different backgrounds will draw different conclusions. Being in the medical field and not ham radio (had to look up what you’ve mentioned) it would never have occurred to me.

I didn’t mean to offend. Nazi ideology can be like a virus and so is what I stated in my comment. A poorly made joke I guess.

Sounds like a virus. Herpes SimpleX? Have fun with that.

So many great lines to choose from. I’m watching Our Man Bashir right now and these stand out:

Garak: Kiss the girl, get the key. They never taught me that in the Obsidian Order.

A little later in the episode…

Bashir shoots at Garak grazing his neck.

Garak: Doctor, that was awfully close! What if you’d killed me?

Bashir: What makes you think I wasn’t trying?

Garak: Doctor, I do believe there’s hope for you yet.

Bashir: Ah, I’m so relieved. Now we have to get to the control room. Are you coming or not?

Garak: Well, who am I to question Julian Bashir, secret agent? Lead on!

I buy two bags at a time for flavor variety and to reach the free shipping threshold. I have one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

I’ll usually order more before running out and will mix whatever seems like a good combo if one bag gets too low for a full dose on its own.

This is like when Dr Evil asks for $1 million dollars after being unfrozen. These courts need to get with the times.

Too much optimism and hype may lead to the premature use of technologies that are not ready for prime time.

Preach!

Damnit! I still like and respect the Ars Technica staff but Condé Nast can piss off.

I feel for you KingThrillgore. I was thinking of supporting the site with a subscription but not after this. Still if enough people stop subscribing we may loose them altogether. This is a double edged shit sword.

This is atrocious. Coincidentally Disney is planing to open a park themed with villains. Seems like they can save time and money by renaming the whole place Villain's World.

I've been a few times in my younger years but have zero desire as an adult. Sure they have some nice rides and attractions but the Disney culture is a huge turnoff to me, as are the very high prices of everything there. If I were to take a vacation that costs similar I'm off to a national park or maybe international travel. I prefer real culture over fantasy land.

I’m not one to praise Google often but I think their Popular Times feature can be handy to see how busy a place might be. This live feed video stuff is way over the top and invasive.

Wrong again, Elon. It’s your fault.

Is he saying we should all X communicate?
