Since that Parnell is most recently known for Jerry in Rick and Morty, I feel like we're missing out on "Star Trek: Jerry"

Picture it: Alpha Quadrant, 3070. Captain Jerry Smith's is one of the few ships to survive The Burn.

Captain Jerry: I just kept maintaining course and speed at full impulse, and it just kept working.

The thing with dark matter is it's just a placeholder term for "we don't know what the hell it is", and aren't most hypotheses pulled out of the ass before experimentation to prove them?

Plus, Dr. Kaku is a string theorist so wacky is pretty much par for the course in that field. Granted, I consider him more of a TV personality these days and grew up watching him as a speaker on [insert any number of Discovery Channel shows here].

Maybe I'm just biased and enjoy the wacky theories because I'm more interested in seeing them proven right or wrong and thinking about the implications if they happen to prove correct.

How many other animals did they put through a sieve to reach this conclusion? How many?!

Be careful. Those things are addicting.

That's how I started: a little 5v, 6 watt panel I stuck in the window to charge my phone while I worked. Then I wanted to charge some other stuff, so I got a 15W panel. 15w panel was nice, but 100 watts was much better, so I bought two 100W fold-up panels like you've got.

Then I bought a big 1 KWh power station that could supply up to 2000 watts. I take it camping and charge it from the two 100W fold up panels.

But, sadly, the demon had its claws in me and refused to let go. "Why should I only use that solar power two or three times a year?" the voice said. So I bought 4x 200 watt panels so I could use the power station to power my homelab and refrigerator during the day.

Still, that wasn't enough to satiate my addition. Now I've got 4 KW on the roof, 32 KWh of house battery, and a 10 KW inverter that is currently powering our house.

Am I satiated now? Only time will tell.

If I was going to fall off the wagon after 2 years, I hope to gods it would be with something better than Bud Light.

Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was the CEO...

He was only 31?

Geezus. Hate really does age you. I'm over 10 years his senior, and he looks 5 years older than me. And for once, this isn't a humble-brag.

Even if they didn't do her dirty, she wouldn't. She donated it to the city and relinquished ownership of it. The expectation, even written into the deed, was that the land was to be used as a park, but they turned around and sold it multiple times. Despite the stipulation in the original deed to the parks and recreation department, the data center is still going forward.

The story is just such a tragedy all around.

Two thoughts:

1. I'm genuinely surprised. What's the catch? Are they just waiting for a better case like the one in Texas?
2. Eat shit, Kim Davis.

the segment has been shared widely on social media

Not widely enough.

Even if they do eventually air it, it would be enlightening to play "spot the difference" between what they didn't want to air and what they finally do. My guess would be CBS doing something like sed s/Trump/Biden/g to the script.

I’m not seeing any mainstream media coverage.

It really irks me when people use "mainstream media" as a pejorative like there's some kind of conspiracy. There are way more sources covering it than that, but I think that's more than enough to make my point.

Love when people spread the love on their last day.

At an undisclosed time in the past, I worked at a call center for a big, horrible bank. I hated it but didn't plan on quitting until I got off of a heartbreaking call around 10 in the morning. That call/situation broke me as a person, so I knew I couldn't work there anymore. My plan was to work until my lunch at 1:00 and then just not come back.

From 10am to 1pm, anyone who wanted an overdraft or other fee refunded got it; no questions asked. Even if they didn't ask for it, I was like "oh, I see you have a few overdraft fees from a couple weeks ago. I'll go ahead and refund those to you as a courtesy".

In those 3 hours, I think I refunded close to $1200 in fees for who-knows-how-many people. That's probably not possible now since even back then they had a primitive "AI"-like system that you had to go through to issue refunds. But it was still in beta then so we still had access to the old system to do them manually. I'm guessing that new tool got pushed to production real quick after my last day.

She's got an attorney and they're trying to stop it based on that, but it just seems like everyone involved (edit: besides her) just doesn't give a fuck.

Honestly, I'm surprised. Was expecting something close to 50/50 or maybe 40% yes, 60% no but this is hilarious and heartening:

Is that an official Google form and/or who am I providing my (required) email address to?

Is there an official Google page that links to this? Sorry but anyone can share a Google form.

This perfectly illustrates my gripes with whatever is driving the trend of these super thin phones.

First, is anyone even asking for phones to be thinner? Then there's the camera bump sticking out like a wart. And beyond that, it gets put into a bulky case anyway which negates the super thin thing entirely.

Just my two cents, but there's just no reason for people to come here when it's 80+% political shit and rage bait and virtue signaling. Hell, I've got 80% of the content here filtered out as it is, and I want to be here.

Find your nearest non-political hobby community and start posting things people actually want to see and maybe we might see some growth or people sticking around. My current hyperfixation/hobby is Meshtastic, so I've been pretty active there lately. If that's not your thing, then there's:

• !woodworking@lemmy.ca
• !leathercraft@lemmy.ca
• !artshare@lemmy.world
• !gardening@sh.itjust.works !Houseplants@lemmy.ca !houseplants@mander.xyz

• !television@piefed.social

• !jigsaw_puzzles@lemmy.world

If you're like me and not good at any of that, tell us about cleaning your gutters or doing your laundry over in !Dullsters@dullsters.net

The point is, we need more posts about what make us happy and less about what we're angry at (which is pretty much goddamned everything).

Oh. My. God.

"[Actor/Actress] speaks out against Disney / in support of Kimmel"

Lemmy:

• Well, what about [other actors/actresses]? Imagine if it was them saying this. Why are they so quiet?
• It would be more meaningful if they actually had a show on Disney right now. Since they don't, it's just performative theater.
• [Actor active with Disney speaks out] If he cared about Disney ethics, he wouldn't be making movies for them anyway.

Can we not just appreciate the high-profile support here? Is nothing ever good enough for you people? What does it freaking take to satisfy you??

• "Up to..." when used to describe things like internet speeds
• "Wholesome" when used to describe food. Not really a lie, per se, but "wholesome" has absolutely no meaning when it comes to nutrition and just sounds good
• "Zero calories" or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it's less than 1 gram standard unit of measurement for that item (edited from grams).
• Any time you see "free" there's always at least an implied asterisk

I've recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a little lot inside when I learned that.
