Ahh. I live next to Quebec, didn’t realize that was a regional thing. What’s a good French swear a Frenchman would use?

Tabernac!!!

Heelies were the shit! If they ever make a pair that will work for a 300lb, 6’6 man, I’m sure to get maimed!

I was wondering about that. Like these people are being deported, but instead they’re just in a gulag for how long… Are they actually being repatriated to their country of origin?

I’ve had good results with the “How you doin?” You really gotta sell it, if you don’t make a fool of yourself you’re doing it wrong. The trick is to make a connection, however small and silly, and go from there. If you can make her laugh/snort you’re in!

I found it!! By Jack McDevitt

This is why we’ve seen such interest in fusion tech lately imho…

I just spent ten minutes on Google trying and failing to find it, but there’s a novel that uses that basic premise. Humans find this network of observation satellites and are able to tap into the feed and basically watch earth from the 1300’s on. The builders are long since gone. Most of the novel is the crew trying to catch up to this museum ship that the network is uploading to.

Was a really good one if anyone knows the name of it.

Edit I found it!

Most people for most of history worshiped a fertility deity of one sort or another. Some stone age asshole spreading around what is basically nano tech (the seeds), having no idea how it worked, just knowing it was a miracle.

Just a few examples . Through out the year, at least before the abrahamic religions really took off, most people would have participated in at least one fertility ceremony or festival of some sort.

A river died

Just one example of their bad acting. No worse really than the western world has done, but certainly no better

Get this man an IPO and a PR firm immediately!!!

Y’all better start learning Chinese

Not vegetarian but ground turkey works great. Better for the environment and the wallet.

Ya the thumb drive was a tripping point for me. Took me a minute to understand I had to reformat the drive itself. I also didn’t try to partition anything.

I switched to Linux mint because I don’t want to think about those things. I barely know how to use the terminal, and probably won’t anytime soon. I just pulled the apps I needed off the software manager. I’m as happy as a clam in shit.

An OS that just works, without the constant bullshit that capitalism breeds always encroaching. It does what I want when I want it, no more no less.

Lol I’m a huge dude and I do the same. I usually go with a good foot scruff. Not too obnoxious, and most people will instantly identify it as someone is walking up.

It’s a fucking depressing state of affairs…

Lol have you seen kids these days? I’d be surprised if more than 15 percent are fit for service, and of that 15% maybe half would pass a drug screen.

So their options are to stay and be killed, or leave? I’m not sure the exact terminology to use here, but “voluntarily” ain’t it.
