  • Although it is also important to consider that for both Spock and Michael, they weren't full Vulcans, but were Human, or part-Human, with all the relevant emotional needs and expression.

    It is not implausible that the Vulcan method works with Vulcans, but not nearly as well with non-Vulcans.

  • Plus, like with Marilyn Monroe, their personality on stream is generally a persona of sorts. They're going to be very different collecting food and paying for it on their own, compared to when they're in front of an audience.

    You'd be more inclined to think that someone who looked a bit like the streamer received the food.

  • I've had similar issues with Arch Linux for years. The front panel outright refuses to work on Linux, even after modifying a whole bunch of things.

    Your average person is more likely to get frustrated that stuff is broken/doesn't work, and switch back rather than having to alter module configuration files and things like that to fix it.

  • It being defrocked implies that it was frocked to begin with, which is a bit surprising.

    You'd have thought that they'd get angry at it for impersonating a priest and giving false advice otherwise, since it's not trained in the papacy like the others.

  • And the insurance can boot you off, or refuse to cover you if you're too expensive.

    So if you got cancer, and had to spend a million dollars to treat it, your insurance could just go "okay, your treatment is too expensive, we're not covering that, you'll have to pay for this yourself".

    It used to be worse. Many years ago, they could outright decide not to cover some medical conditions of yours, deeming them to be "pre-existing". So if you had diabetes, sorry, that's a pre-existing condition. We don't cover those.

    Nail in the coffin is that Americans spend more money on healthcare, per capita, than most other countries, without marked improvement in care/outcomes.

  • Considering Parallels, there's at least a sector of Enteprise's worth of universes, ignoring the one that exploded, that could be close enough to TNG.

    Intrigued by the idea that literally every Star Trek took place in a different universe though. That sounds like something you'd find in TOS/Lower Decks episode, only for it to just reset by next episode and be forgotten about.

  • I can't imagine self hosting an LLM-based search engine would be too viable. The hardware demands, even for a relatively small quantised model, are considerable. Doubly so if you don't have a GPU to accelerate with.

  • Dude just can’t win.

    Ordinarily, this wouldn't have been such a bad thing, were it not for the fact that he's desperate to both be seen as an infallible genius, and well liked.

    If it was the image people had of him 10 - 20 years ago, him admitting that he likes video games but wasn't that great at them might have actually helped his image.
