First civilian

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan announced the Teacher in Space Project, and McAuliffe learned about NASA’s efforts to find their first civilian, an educator, to fly into space.[20] NASA wanted to find an “ordinary person,” a gifted teacher who could communicate with students while in orbit.[6][15] McAuliffe became one of more than 11,000 applic[ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christa_McAuliffe

Some do, some don’t. If you don’t find one right away you gotta keep trying and you’ll find one eventually.

That would require critical thinking… not exactly what they’re known for.

I’m no earth doctor, but wouldn’t it be the other way around? Continental drift would affect the lifeforms abilities to survive and adapt, and that in turn would affect the continents surface features, but not the drifting itself?

Reusable pods are cheap. I’ve been using them in my keurig for a few years now and they’re great.

Reminds me of a joke I heard…

Kid goes to his father, Dad what does a vagina look like?"

Dad: “Before sex or after sex?”

Kid: “uh… before sex.”

Dad: “Like a rose, with all it’s pedals in full bloom”

kid: thinks for a second. “huh ok. What about after sex?”

Dad “Ever see a bulldog eating mayonnaise?”

Unrelated but have you looked on Anna’s Archive? They have a bunch of Bande dessinée on there that may be what you’re looking for.

First computer, Tandy Coco 2 (TRS-80) in 1988 or 89.

First phone (other than a landline) was a Motorola bag phone around 1996(?)

Considering they’re not using any they must have a huge stockpile of morals by now.

“No Mr Netanyahu, it is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that, in a little over six months, your extremist government has killed over 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 78,000, 70% of whom are women and children,”

There are even people here on lemmy trying to push that Yahoo’s bullshit narrative that the demonstrations are pro hamas. Thankfully most of lemmy can see through the crap and downvote the hell out of them.

I dunno, one kid from down the street near me looks pretty rectangular.

In grade 2 I burnt down a shed causing $2000 damage in the 1970’s. (Around $10,000 in todays money)

I was playing in the shed and decided I wanted to build a fireplace… out of wood. (In my defense it was a type of laminate, so I didn’t know it was wood at the time.)

Yup, and this was here in Canada.

I’ve always put their meds into some wet cat food, that has usually gone over well in my case. I’ve got 4 rescue cats going in on Monday to get done and another three next month, hopefully these ones all handle things smoothly as well.

For me it was “Battlezone”. I spent hours shooting little squares at fuzzy rectangles that somewhat resembled tanks and loved every minute of it.

My kids are grown now so my comment probably isn’t all that relevant anymore, but I don’t think there should be a set age to give your kid a smart phone. Different kids mature and learn at different ages, even ones from the same household.

For my kids, I got them their first phones in their early teens but those phones were somewhat restricted so that we could still communicate easily but we knew they couldn’t get into too much trouble with them. As time progressed the restrictions slowly lifted as we knew we could trust them more to not get into trouble with them.

I’ve always believed it’s not a parents duty to protect their child from the world as much as it is to prepare them for it. Of course kids are going to make stupid decisions if you let them go too far (we all have) so I think it’s more about slowly easing them into things and helping them make the right decisions the best we can.

Because they want the “win.” They don’t give a shit about justice.

I agree, I used to work for a company that made mobile homes in a an assembly line fashion. Two of us could cut and assemble all of the interior and exterior walls in under two days for an 80 foot home. It’s all the other stuff that took time and a lot more people to piece together.

I’ve watched the first season (8 episodes) and I think it’s pretty good. I personally think the first episode was a little slow getting into things. If you don’t know anything about Fallout it may be a bit confusing at first because they don’t really explain much of the Fallout lore or how things work in that world, but it mostly all comes together by the end of the season.

Apparently they’ve already greenlit a second season so that’s awesome, I’m just sad we’ll have to wait until probably next year to see it.

That makes me a little more sad.

Mid-Eighties Plymouth Voyager minivan. Put the pedal to the metal, and the damned thing would hardly accelerate, the motor just got louder. Probably would have been quicker if I rolled the window down and flapped my arms. And if you look at one spot too long, that part would break.

I was going to comment that he’d win at that at least, but for some reason I think he’d fuck that up too.

Things like this are why I think the whole Facebook “encrypted messaging” thing is just a scam to try and look like they respect your privacy. It doesn’t matter if you have the best encryption out there if the doors are wide open for them on either end and they’re keylogging everything you do.

For being able to speak bullshit so fluently you think he’d be better at telling the difference, but the last couple of years have really proven otherwise.

Rocketpoweredgorilla , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Do they really? (are worth something, I mean) I still have one upstairs in my house. I don’t use it at all, I’ve just been using it to hold the house down in case of windy weather.

(actually I’m just too lazy to try and haul it out of the house and toss it.)

Rocketpoweredgorilla , 2 months ago

I knew they did better visually, I meant more that they’re actually worth anything. The only reason I even still have this old thing is because it’s bigger than my recycle bin and I have no urge even attempt to haul it away.

Rocketpoweredgorilla , 2 months ago

Ah, not really planning on selling it anyway, I’d sooner just give it away to the unlucky bastard that would have to haul it off. I’m just surprised they’d be worth anything anyway. This thing is a 32 inch Sanyo

Someone trying to kill me or my kids. Maybe I’d still die but I’m taking that person with me.

Rocketpoweredgorilla , 3 months ago

It’s really hard to say without being in that specific situation, but if someone was literally trying to kill me my only goal would be to put them down and make sure they’re not getting up to try again.

That little guy looks wheely thrilled to be there.
