Like with stripes or a big round shell that it protrudes from? Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool-looking animal, but it would look dumb as hell if someone tried to make a car actually look like one imo. Maybe a spaceship or a deep-sea submersible, but not a car.
Sekhmet seems more appropriate, though depicted with a lion’s head not a housecat’s.
Sekhmet acted as the vengeful manifestation of Ra’s power, the Eye of Ra. Sekhmet is said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. She is also believed to cause plagues. (Wikipedia)
(Yes! I couldn’t remember the name & I wasn’t sure anyway, but I knew Bestet was depicted as kitty so in my laziness of not wanting to do one single search I went with the safer choice)
Do you just play these games for 1 or 2 days, then move on to something else? I didn’t think I would enjoy playing some of these for only a few hours, it’s not enough time to really get the full experience.
Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing in Data’s programing that would prevent him from doing “bad” things like lying or killing. He has free will just as much as any other Starfleet officer.
Data is much more human than you might guess at first. He is more akin to a human on the autism spectrum than a robot with hard-coded programming.
Absolutely. Rewatching the series in full as an adult made it more apparent that Data was always closer to his goal than he could comprehend. Just had trouble adjusting to social “norms” more than others.
Yup exactly. He just lacked emotional subroutines (at first) and the hardware to process that. But he doesn’t need emotions to kill. He is in fact capable of using lethal force (First Contact), he just has an ethical subroutine that prevents killing (Descent I, II) unless in defense of others, himself, or The Federation. Which would fall under his logical subroutines.
Similar in a way to Chief Engineer Hemmer who will not use violence (Memento Mori) unless in an act of preserving life. The means to defend is part of the training of a Starfleet officer.
How long ago was that? I have installed Arch with archinstall on ~10 different PCs over the last 4 years without any issues. Maybe I just got lucky, though.
I always get the bills dropped lightly in my palm with coins dropped in the bills like a little money burrito. Guess I’m a nice person lol. All I know is I feel the weight of the universe on my back whenever I go up to the cashier and wanna do it as fast as possible so I don’t plop the money on the counter because it wastes time, just hand it over and if there’s coins I hold em up to drop an inch in their hands.
you’ve never pulled your phone out and snapped a quick picture? hell,i think most people would already have it in their hand when eating alone these days
It’s even faster if you have a gesture set up to open the camera app. I dunno why people get so suspicious of people being able to snap a picture quickly these days. It’s a simple practiced skill.
